Whilst the claims and positions Of all the
leading and most talented Wings throughout
the State, have been anxiously and warmly
discussed for the last twelve months, by the
Wing party, with reference 10 the Gubcrna-
torial election, it is matter of nstonishment
that the superior talents, the eminent quail
fications, the high character and extensive
popularity Of the distinguished gentleman
whose name heads this article, were never
brought into the discussion until few
month ago. But it is equally strange with
what perfect unanimity and enthusiasm the
first mention of his name in connection with
the office of Governor of the State Of Mis-
souri,, was hailed By the Wings throughout
the wi ole State. Good Wings there arc
in different parts of the State-constrain-
ed by the obligations of private friendship,
who would prefer the election Of some per-
sonal and intimate friend; but no Wing can
J be found who would oppose or even object
TO the election of James Winston 10 that high
office. And the indications of the popular
will from all quarters point to him as the
man, above all others, suited TO the times
and the occasion. In private life his char
acter is without blemish- III social inter-
course he is kind and urbanc-and BY the
full exhibition of all the qualities of noble
and generous nature, and his peculiar Jim

know him.
As politician, he is what lie has always

always liberal and magnanimous toward.
