Governor from Northwestern,
Chin

| BY the following proposition, which we copy
from the Seneca Adveril ser, it will be seen that
Alfred ?. Edgerton's integrity of principle, man
ly worth, and frank, honorable course as a Lsgis-
lator, is winning for him deserved consideration
! thIsughout the State. A correspondent OF tho
Advertiser proposes HIM as the Democratic no.
! minee for Governor in the contest OF 1913. OF
tion, and there are fsw men in the State who can
70 well unite all in one common object. His
! radicasm Is that Of woll ordered mind, which
perceiving aliases is ready and wiling to uppl !,
the remedy. but anxioas at the saIae time 10 pre-
servo whatever gives sta biIity to Government and
happiness to Society. Unconnected with past in
trigues, if any sa ch have exiaed, he has no hu.
treds to overcome, and the differences which
must ever exist in greatparty,wil be more easily
rsconced by one new to political warfare than
even by the Scared veterans Of former contests.
In every view, We think The proposition a most
thusiasm by the Northwest, and with favor
throughout the 9tlte.
While we thus freely exprsss our approval of
the proposition, we mus. say that we think the
time has not yet come for a thorough discussion
Of tha subject. Other able and tried members
Of the Democratic party have tecn proposed as
cunsidates for the position. And while ca sh
expresses his individual preferences aud that Of
his section It's better TO procrastinnte the INTRO
dac lisn of all clemeal of difference in tho
~ ;y;l g..
itlsn, uPea which we wogo war, ill we have once
more assailed, and we trust with compls.e sue
cess, the buIwarks of federalism in the Sia,e.
Il CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR,
MR. BaEsMN-l sec that several nsmes

parts of tho Slate, TO BIS presented 10 The
next Democratic State Convention for nomi-
nation to the Office Of governor of Ohio. As
he Democracy feel deep interest in the
selection 10 be made by that convention, it
will not be dsem9d inopporiune TO announce
! all whoss names are worthy ofits considera-
zion, that The people may bave,n oppouun.
ty 10 examine their various merits and quail
ifcatons.
You viii obIige ma by announcing the name
Of ALFRED 7. EDonRroN, Esq, of DeGance
eounty,as deserving The consideration Of tho
convention.
During The last two sessions Of he Gems
ral Assembly, Mr.. Edgcrton has proven him
self TO be An able and talented Statesman;
and while he has faithfully adhered, on aIl
occasions, 10 sound democratic principles.
and thereby secured the confidence of all
our political friends, his unimpeachcd pri-
vate character, high sense ofhonor and sier-
ling integrity as gentleman, have commnn-
ded the respect of his most blIier pohical
opponents. Consistent, firm and unyieIding
ia his prin;pes--ardent and enthusiastic in
his undertakings, the Democracy Of Ohio
would find in him all tho elements of agsuc.
csssful leader, With him as our standard
bearer, victory is certain. u5

Jndge Wri. hts paper, tho Cincinnati Gazette,
comes out in favor ota thorough prosecution of
The war with Mexico, and gives Corwin a home
thrust for his Slisn and ansi-Amoriesnsympu!hies,
after the following laahiop:
"Being now al war, shall we strike OUT flag
nd retire from The positions we occupy?-
Suppose such an order were given to Gen.
raylof. He world be coml,'lled 10 abandon
the places rendered memorable by his vclo-

1t is best we should fight on the soil of an eli.

fols No purity that sanctioned this war by
its vote, that appropriated ten millions Of dol
lars, and called out fifty thousand volunteers
for its prosecution, can maintain itself before

emn form, to support The men in the filed by
theirYotes. To abandon them weuld bo
cruel and unjust"
schenck, Corwln, and very large portion Of
the whig party are here convicted, by the admis-
sion of one Of the a5est of their own party in the
State, with having shown "LlTTLE FORCE OF
JUDaMENT," &C., inthe course which they pur.
sued and advocated. True every word and the
caution that they who@" sanctioned the war, .
cannot now safely abandon the maintenance OF
,lo contest, even in .he sweet hope Of attaining
power by the disgrace Of their oountfy's arms
and honor, is ono which those who have lately
been so ready in their denuncatons OF the war
will yet bitterly realize to be severe truth. Is il
not, however, passing strange that such senti-
ments as the Gazctte's should be SO extremely
rare in the whig party?

pem,ocpatic experiments.

We have heard much ofthe anarchy and
ruin predicted in consequence Of the expert.
ments of Democracy. The repeal Of the
Tariff of 1912, was 10 destroy manufactures
and ruin tho country, and the independent
Treasury it was predicted would double the
ruin. But unfortunately for tho prophets Of
disaster, the ruin has proved only panic on
ppper. The manufacturing operatives are
now betar paid than before, and the profits
from manufactures arc so high that the only
danger is from the OVERRIDING Of homo com
petition; and as for the influence Of the In
dependent Treasury, exchanges arc moder-
ate, aud the Wing Presses confess that the
country was never more prosperous. Scarce
ly Sent nence Of dcnunciation is now hazard
ed by the wing press upon these subjects.
They are silent upon the ruin they predicted,
because though much they desiredt, il would
not come. Trade in proportion as il is leil
free from legislative into,lerencs will always
prosper. Tho fostering or the imposts Of
government are alike injurious And SO
long as Democratic experiments are in favor
of rational freedom iur man and his pursuits
just SO long will the scrccch-o"l' OF mono
poly find their
Courses, like chickens viii como lone 10 roost."
This cant about the danger of eXper
rnsnt is suporlaiive humbug. Our govern
ment was once an experiment, though It i
so no longer---and every advance in arts
science or political economy which has re
sulled in adding 10 tho happiness aud elava-
ion of mankind WAS once an sSpcrmenI--ds'

that the great mass Of the whig presses have

the Ohio State Journal will NOT surprize us, il
