"ALAs POOR YoRlcKl"-The Dissent
nator, one of the few independent journals in
the State, has been discontinued through lack
OF sufficient patronage and from the impaired
health Of its honest editor. We regret to part
from Brother Hathorn; such men are an ire
parable loss to the editorial corps But his
great crime, we fear, was an exposal Of recre-
ancy to trusts, aithlessness in place, or gross
usurpaiions of authority, by those in power.
What an idiot, to be an honest, independent
mani All Brother Hathorn, we must read
you lesson of life. Should you again assume
the tripod, throw aside that independence, be
done with that honesty. Go to some editorial

every Governor, Senator, Sc, is high,mind

The CANDIDATEs.-As quorum" of
candidates for military emnence are now in the
field it may be well to make some alusion 10
each. And certainly we bring no embittered
feelings no private enmities, nor unwarranta-
bic malice to aid us in the ask,-or, rather 10
bias our judgment and lead US wantonly to ma
lign deserving men. We have our friends
they have their competitors; let the race be a
manly an honorable one, without unworthy
aids or putting extraordinary and no one will
complain. The time has come, if we mistake
not very evident indications, when the people
will not permit dlctatoral medatorship be-
tween them and the asuirant for their suffra-
ges They will JUDGE FOR THEMSELVES,

who will attempt to gainsay their fiat
AS editors Of a political press, we except an
occasional random shot from the gray-goose Of
contemporaries perhaps more pelulout than
ourselves. We'll and good When brethren
of the quill are pugnaciously inclined, and
would open a covert battery of Maynard &
Noyes best black ink upon us, by all means
let them fire away, and we will be among the
first to enjoy the farcical and unscemly exhi-
bition. Thus much upon this subject, and
now for the candidates We announce the
names Of three today Joshua Terral, an
honest upright man, fully competent for the
Office for which he has been solicited to run,
and best appreciated where best known. His
modest address to the voters Of the 3slh, tpub-
lished in our last paper) is a very good index
to his character. Thomas Chapman is every
where known only to be respected for high
moral qualities, TO be esteemed for pure I'M
bomished integrity, and to make friends by
generosity Of heart end native courtesy Of
manner. Oliver p Lang has many friends,
possesses the qualities for an efficient officer,
and has other claims upon the sufrages ofthe
militia Of the 9slh that deserve some cOnsidera-
ton.
All the candidates are very well known /;
and with implicit confidence in the unpreju-
diced judgment OfIhe voters, we have merely
to indulge the hope that no effort Of intrigue,
