"PLL CALL TO.MORROW."

Some years since, a wealthy carriage
maker, residing in Philadelphia, was very
much annoyed by the calls of hackmen,
cabmen, omnibus drivers, &C., who under
pretence Of wishing to purchase, would
put him to considerable trouble, in show.
ing them all the varieties he had on hand,
and explaining the different, the lowest
price Of each vehicle. and then leave him
with the consoling idea that they would
'think ont" and it they concluded to
purchase, "wby, they would call again
to morrow" But it so happened that
they never called a second time. This
daily inquiry, we say. had become very
annoying, and the owner in self defence,
bad resolved on not paying any attention
to custo ner unless he came well dress

OUR NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR.

The nominee for Governor, it must be ad-
mitted, is decidedly war man. He was at
& engaged in the storing of Monterey, and is
still favorable to the speedy prosecution of the
war until an honorable peace is established,
and the American government is indemniied.
These are the grounds he occupies in rela-
ton to the war, and the Wings can have all
the advantage 1t viii give them. If the whig
papers express the sentiment Of that party
and the party is consistent they must nominate
an anti-war Corwin Whig-one that avows
opposition to our government and friendly
feelings for the Mexican people-one that
would greet our army with hospitable graves
-one that thinks our men have gone 10 the
battle field to fight for glory, or in other
words, one that is opposed to this country, and
therefore, must be tory. If the war, as
stated by the Wing State Central Committee,
was at the last election 'empahatically con-
demned and Corwn nobly sustained let them
take up man of the Corwin school, and then
it will be seen where the people of Ohio
stand.
The Democrats are bold in defending the
administration in this war--they have nomi-
mated JOHN B. WELLER, one of the heroes
at the battle of Monterey, SO that the war
question, as put forth by the wings, will be
met. 1t is congratulating to our party to have
l candidate that has been in the battle field
md endangered his life in the protection of
he honor and rights of his country.
