NEXT GOVERNOR.

!, ing tba, DR.. Fries is our decided choice
: In eelec,ing candidate fJtahat high an
t honora BILE station, we hope ibe dempcrac
of Ohio will not stoop to that contempt
ibe federal praotice--availabifity II
this age of progression the democracy
cannot use too much precaution in Sc
lecting man for their standard bearer
none but true and tried democrat Can
receive the entire support of our party
Let us have man whose hands have new
er been stepped into that pool OF corrup
tion--demagogneism, and the State will
again be placed into the hands Of honest
men W ho seek 10 es abllsh that good old
democratic aoctrine, "the greatest good
to the greatest number"
Cannidate for Governor.
The ST. Mary's Sentinel announces
Hon. William Sawyer as candidate for
Governor. Personally we a re unacquaint
ed with Mr.. Sawyer, but as a public man
and politician we do know him, and
therefore, speak of his acls as indicative
Of The Kind of'democracy in which he be-
lleves. s%
| The Democrstic party Of Ohio has suf
frFed TOO IRE qnently BY thrustiog men
fofwar as candidates for public favor
Upon the mere grounds Of expediency,

Brightest constellation under the guard
ian spirits ofjts Jefersans and It's Jack
sons, nol to see the utter ruiB that must
pyerlake IA BY continuation of that su>
icida al policy. We caution our lriends,
therefors in time to beware OF snch rash>
ness as may prove their rum; they should
Sc ect no man for go distinguished an Of
fee who will not bear the test Of the
tuuchstune of pure Democracy.
We regret that we are thus compelled
to take issue with our neighbor Of the sens
'ioel, upon question OF such vital inter
est TO the Democracy ofOhio. We franks
ly coDfess that we do not think Mr.. Saw
)0I ibS"bSinSt S"h'oS w ~ '"S St""N
ard of either Jefferson or Jackson-iar
fromit He is unsound upon many of It's
leading principles, as his career 10 Con
gress will fully demonstrate. Its record,
ed evidence is there and stands out IN
bold relief against him. Would il be
it be cons stent with cur
;,,Io Ikar
to select such a man for our standard
bearer in Ohio, when we have so many
sound Democrats, men superior in every
who would do honor TO such
station? We have no preference for men
we want to see candida whose De
nocracy cannot he impe ached-- who
,ract,ces what be Professes and is no.
'fraid TO avow the truth and maintain il
lndei all circumstances; for democracy
loes no, consist pfan attachment TO men,
,ut Of attachment to great fundamental
ruths- principles which form the basis of
III our rights and are not subject to the
Of time and fortune.
In selecting candidates for public IA.
or, the Democratic party should be govs
srned IN its choice, not by the doctrines
,xpediency, bat by correct Democratic
,rIaciples, Integrity, and qualifications
or the Office.
That we have many men who possess
hese qualifications IN the Democratic
anks, none Will dispute; and /, is such a
'ame we nov propose to the democracy
# Ohio in the person of the Hon. George {
Fries, ofC late the able Repre-. {
en'stIve OF the l7th Congressional DIS
let
DR.. Fries has been long and favor ably
iuown to tue democracy of this State, as
gentleman ofsoienee and intellect suit.
ID to any station in civil life, aud withal
me of Gods noblest works Democrat
n whom there is no guile. No man in
he State can draw around him the phals
INK Of Demoort with deeper or more
rdcnt attachment than DR.. Fries, and
20 IN an we are satisfied, deserves great
r share of public confidence, View him
u all The relations ofllfe and YOU find him
gentleman of the highest degree of hon,
II and integrity, and Democrat who
hrinks not fran any duty imposed upon
i'm by lis Fundamental! truths. Such@
nan is Dir George Fries, whom we pro-
