Wondering that the flight of the resigninI
Senators from the Capitol last April was
announced by a still move imposing salute
of artillery This business OF powder
burning does not always enure to the bcndt
of those who pay for the saltpet,r.
The candidates ground out during the
small hours of last night are in the main re-
spectacle Mr. John {. Wright, who is de-
slgnated for Controller. Is a man of fair
talents and character lie used to be on our
side in politics, and was member of our
first Young Mems State Convention IN lS2S
but after Gen. Jackson's election, living in
the Jackson County OF Schoharie. he went
over to the side whereto Power seemed to
have firmly fastened itself, and he has since
remained there. He has been County
Judge, then State Senator, and IS one of
those moderate and reasonable Hunkers who
wanted, IN tie Convention, to crowd the
Banburners as far as they would bear, but
no further.
Henry 5 Randall, the candidate for Sec
retarv. is a Barnburner, and was the party
candidate for this office two wears ago. He
has some good ideas as to farming, and If
he were Secretary we should expect him
to deal fairly by the cause of Popular Edu-
cation: but when YOU come 10 Canal Policy,
he is as wrong as man can be We care
not what he may be induced to say, and
think he believes, in view of the eXlgencieS
of his present position-Mr. kaadall is not
in favor of the Speedy Enlargement. but It's
deadly foe. lie has been a steady follower
of Silas Wright Flagg Il CO. THROUGH life,
and an advocate of the stop and Tax policy
devised by the lIerklmer politicians to rem
der Internal Improvement odious and bur
densome to the People. II elected he must
and Will find means Of defeating the policy
of Gov Hunt, and restoring that OF Col.
Young and Michael Hoffman.
The same is true of Horace Wheaton, can
didate for Canal Commissioners, and Benz.
Welch. Jr., nominee for State Treasurer.
Both live on the line Of the G. eat Canal, at
points where local interest and feeling have
steadily favored the Enlargement policy. |
But both are Barnburners, with the narrow
views and traditional jealousies peculiar to
that sect. which sees IN Canal or larbor |
improvement only the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF
some individual who owns property by Its
side. and cannot expand It's vision so as to
embrace the thousands, perhaps millions, to |
whom that work is to secure cheaper access
TO markets and enduring prosperity Mr..
Welch IS Editor of The only paper IN But
falo which upheld the reslgning Senators
and opposedthe Speedy Enlargement which |
they so recklessy endeavored 20 defeat.
A, to Mr. Levi 5. Chatfed, We are
right clad to find him on hand. Had he |
been dropped as the cooler and wiser heads |
desired. 1t might have been possible to
persuade some Canal men that the leopard |
had changed his spots-tha! the deadly /
enemies of the Enlargement Policy had |
concluded to give way to the Peoples Viii.
With Chatfeld on the ticket, no Canal man
can be duped into its support who does not
wish to be swinded. We want verdict
of the People on the dignity, ability, and
propriety with which this gentleman has
discharged his high responslbllities-we de-
sire to know whether such 6ar-roOm black
cuarcism a. he has been accustomed t.
dispense under the appeIlaton Of official
.Op!nions' on grave C0nstltutIonalqu questions,
