CanAiaates for Governor.

Candidates for Governor.
According to appointment, Gov. Wright
and Nicholas McCarty addressed the citizens
of this place, last Tuesday afternoon. The
Scott Club Hall was very well filled on the
occasion. The two gentlemen appeared to
be very amicable terms, and though both
spoke in emphatic tone. and language, they
used no improper words toward each other
Gov. Wright is more auent and experienced
in speaking than his opponent. He in fact,
talks like IN oily, why lawyer, making the
most of bad case, and often CLOSING over
. Nth smooth words that which every honest
sentiment in the hearts of his hearers doubt
less most heartily condemned. Mr.. McCar-
ty 10 plain, common-sense, and above all,
honest speaker. He deals in facts alone, and
is free from that "gsile of the tongue" his op-
ponent so eminently possesses, and so con-
stantly uses, capable of making black appear
white and vics versa. Each leaves his impress
sion upon his hearers--the one of shrewd,
crafty demsgogae, and the other of apiainseu
sible man, intending well and honestly in ev-
cry thing he says and does. They moreover,
not only carry these impressions by their
speeches, butt is due them both to say, that
their lives have made the same Impressions
upon the great mass of the people of Indiana.
Wright'sr speech treated on number of
topics, and scarcely touched one with reas-
enable degree of honest fairness. He made
Preposterous and unfair statements at times,
and passed on with the excuse he had not
6me to discuss his subjects. Almost his first
Assertions was grossly unfair one in its con-
nection. He declared the expenses of the
Administrations lass year were @55,oOe,OOO,
and then spoke Of the economy Of previous
Democratic Administrations in. comparison.
He had not time to discuss This. Probably
his organ in this city has time to look over the
matter with 10 in his behalf. Now, we de-
clare the late Administration has been more
scononsscd thanits late Democratic predeces-
sors--that is, for the same objects less money
has been spent by the Fillmore administra-
ton than BY either Dolk's or Van Buren's.-
Gov. Wright knosss this il he hnsexamined the
question at all. He dare not discuss such
matters. In fact the Governor lodged all
discussion on Government or State expeadi-
lures. When he got to the latter, he ralaed
asif the whole complaint of the Wings, ave
and Of thousands Of the Democratic uarty,
against the late Legislature, was because this
Legislature had employed one or two Irish
wood-sawyerst too many. This is simply CON.
empttbse. He knows better and is wilfully at
tempting to deceive those for whose votes he
was indulging in this special pleading. HI
has il aldemagogue-like manner seized upon
"Ifish wood-sawyers," to'court up the Irish
and lsboring men. These woodssawyers are
not complained Of, but the complaint has.beer
made among other things, that merhred at
high price to do the wood-sawing,- &c., en-
ployed Others under them.to- do the work ant
the State had to pay for ALL. But this wa,
but email piece of extravaganza by the sid'
of those things which made the prominent
subjects of complaint. ~. y.
