0ur Next Governor.


the resul, OF the next G"bernatorial election. IF
the wings should succeed in electiug a governor,
possessed Of ability who will be able to perform
the duties of his station himself, independently
OF the dctston Of cliques and factions his party
may be so strengthened as TO maintain the as
cendancy for years to come. Ii is therefore i'm.
portant to the democratic, and, as we think, to
the interests of the Common wealth, that dscre.
tion should be observed in the selection Of can.
didate. The people have been taught 10 believe
the one term principle an important and nrcessa.
ry ingredient in the true democratic creed and
there must be strong reasons to satisfy them that
its application is no, salntary in every case. In
the late election for Canal Commissioner, they
recorded their opinion on this subject in an un.
mistakeable and expressive form and in such
an one as should teach those who aspire TO be
their leaders and managers that they have minds
Of their own, which they will follow without re.
gard TO the political consequences which may
ensue to the party The delegates 10 the i,h Of
March Convr n,ion should bear this in mind and
/ be governed accordingly.
! There is another thing equally important,
! which should not be lost sight of by those to
! whose hands have been committed the duty Of
selecting candidate for the democratic party.
