Our Candidate for Governor,

We rejoice to note the progress OF our can
didate on the Reserve. There is every prob
ability of his uniting the feeling of that here
tofore strong hold of the Wing party much
more effectually thanit has been for some years.
His course is eminently pacific, and as there
is that open, manly bearing about him that
takes hold, at once, on the good will and SYM
pathy of his hearers, we look for the most ia
vorable results. Our private information from
that portion of the State agrees with the uni
form tone of the public press. A few days
since the Judge was in Ashtabula county, the
very centre of political free-soil influence
The Ashtabula Telegraph gives us the follow
ing account of his reception, and his speech on
that occasion: State Jour.
Judge Johnston at Jefferson.
AS in good old times of the unity and pride
of old Ashtabula, the people of the county
poured into the county seat, on Monday the
day appointed. The 18th of August will here
after be held in remembrance as the COM
mencement of new era-gifted with more
luminous and liberal policy
The day was as fine an August day as the
sun ever saw, and although the hour for the
delivery of the Judges address was late and
inconvenient for our dairy county, although
The indispensable duties of our farmers kept
them at the works of haying and hervesting
still the big teams rolled into Jefferson, and
by the time appointed it may be safely said
every township in the county had its repre-
sentative there.
T,,Io I'll oil
zens in the long room of the Strong
House, and all found it an easy and pleasant
thing to make his cquaintance-for, in per
son, address, and feeling, it is very plain the
Judge was emphatically "ome Of the people,
large in stature-ofa most benevolent coun
tenance-endued las it soon appsared) with
a mind of collosal proportions still zone
of us''
Aout o'clock the "big teams" from Ash
tabula, preceded by the beautiful carriage Of
the splendid and admirably appointed Kings
vile Brass Band, rounded to-" at the Strong
House. Private equipsges poured in from all
quarters-the hour of three arrived-and ii
front of the Court House on modest plat
form, surrounded by the bone and sinew o
the county-WILI1AM JHoNsToN, for the frs
time, stood in the presence of the people o
Ashtabula
The address, which occupied two hours anc
twenty minutes in its delivery-in power com
prehensiVeness, wit, humour, and pathos-
deepened as it went on in interest; and com
ing nearer and nearer home to US, till at tht
conclusion it left but one impression on every
hearer-that WILLIAM JoENsTon wields gi
ant intellect, and that the true political faitl
has no more faithful nor victorious apostle
We have full notes of this most noble ad
dress and in our next weeks issue, shall as
matter of duty to the people of this county
give it unmutilated, with the full conviction
that no man could hear it, or read, and not g
away wiser, more enlightened and bet
| ter man.

MAEAGEMENT ON THE CANAL-Grievious
complaints are uttered loud and deep, in this
vicinity, of mismanagement on the canal A
fleet of boats have been detained here week,
for the removal of an obstruction in the shape
of a sand bar. which ought to have been re-
moved in single day, without drawing off the
water, under proper management. These are
the first fruits of action on the part of the
Board of Public Works, had in defiance of Ca
nal men, shippers, and the mass of community,
irrespective of party. The little clique who
advised and controlled the appointments here
were uninfuenced by considerations of fitness
and public interest They had grist of then
own to grind and they wished to pay the grind
ers at the expense of the state. The profits
of the operation are not yet summed up.

Beauties Of a Locofoco AdDaanRstratRon.
The following, which we quote from the
last Summit Beacon, is a sample of the admin
istration which locofocoism will confer on the
people of Ohio, if they will elect it to Office
next October 1t is the same kind which we
experienced under the reign of loeofocoism
from 1885 to 1845, when our present enor-
nous state was contracted, millions of it with
out any equivalent to the state, but to feed
and pension host of party creatures in utter
idleness, at the expense of the public treasury
Are the people anxious to elect another loco
foco to the Board of Public Works?

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
~ The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution Of
that body, " to invite plans accompanied by est-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low premium Of five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings Of the two Houses Of Congress, D."
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate or be-
fore the first day Of December next.
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension Of the Cspitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south Of the present building, by the
erection of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure to the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry Of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mitee reserve to themselves the rig hit to form such
plan by the adoption of partssof different plans
submitted, should such be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
to their own Judgment, the amount of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
Importance and merit of each part adopted.
