A well deserved Compliment.

Bro. Drew, of the Gospel Banner. pays the
following just tribute to our worthy governor
Hubbard
A HARD WORKING GOVERNOR. Governor
Hubbard than whom Maine never had a
chief magistrate of better heart or stronger
mind, or one more earnestly devoted TO the
honor and interest of his Slate-has been wal
lowing in the SHOWS of the eastern part of
Maine several weeks this winter, 10 examine
the public lads, ascertain the condition of the
state roads, and personally look after the wants
of the people.
We should like to make one suggestion, and
could wish it might be very seriously consid-
cred by the people, and that portion of the
press which is not devoted to mere ofhce-hun-
tiers. There are some states such as Massa-
chusetts, Virginia, South Carolina. &c, which
when they have secured good Governor,
keep him in office series of years, and allow
him TO carry on this state policy, that they
may have the benefit of his experience, which
is vastly important in the gubernatorial office.
Such policy is certainly the best one for the
State, however it does not answer the purpose
of petty politicians, who are aching for their
turns to come soon, when they can get their
hands upon the public crib. Now Gov. Hub
bard is Maine man all over-of Maine birth,
parentage and education of Maine habits,
sympathies and interests He is too, man of
strong talents, and of great frmness and indie
pendence of character. Why cannot the peo-
pie tell impatient office-seekers to stand aside
Tor once, and allow Maine-now she has first
rate Governor-to have the benefit of his SER
vices Ior seven years to come! %. n
