wholesome impressions on the public mind.

Justice to all. Gov. Martins State policy is
examined with ;mpartially, and Justly con,
demned by the editor as entirely inefficient.
Indeed, the gentlemen who called upon him
to become candidate for Governor, appear
to have become convinced Of his dereciion

if not all, the leading men in South Alabama,

find the best feeling inculcated. How diff

Does not our correspondent know that the
third and last insalment Of his debt falls due
on the first of June Two months before the

Terry to meet this demand Of the State

CANDIDATE FOR GovERNoR.--In obedi,
ence to promise which we last week made,
we unfurl to dav, at our mast head the name
of NATHANIEL TERRY, of Limestone,
as the democratic candidate for Governor.
The public press and the voice of The pco-
pie, point to him, in the most uumislakca.
bic manner, as being the choice OF the de.
mocracy of the State. His friends may be
called "underlings," and accused of "wilful-
ly" manufacturing falsehooI for his benefit
but when such papers as the Huntsville De.
mocrai, Mobile Register, Democratic Watch.
tower, Athens Chronicle, &C., advocate
his claims, VIC esteem it an honor to be
classed in the same category OF 'undellings"
and "falsiiers." In presenting the name Of
Col. Terry, we have no elaborate express
sons TO render in his behalf. His princi.
Piles, his character and his general views are
already known TO our readers. We con.
slider the issue already made up. Nathan
iel Terry and Joshua l.. Martin, will no
doubt be the only candidates, and in such a
contest will it be hard for an honest and de-.
luded people 10 decide or to doubt as to the
result.--FlorenCe Gazette.
