The Summers days of clmdlegs sun,
And waving grass and corn,
Are past the harvest work IS done;
The frosts are here at morn,
And chilling winds the blackened fields
Are dreary an d torlorn;
The sounding axe the woodman wields--
The hunter blows his horn.
The leaves are drifling in the gale,
The trees are brown and bare,
The withered weedstocks, in the vale,
Are emblems of despair,
Death and decay are stalking forth,
Like lions from their lair,
And sweeping beauty from the earth,
And fragrance from the air.
Butthough, from cbangeful natures face,
The smiles may disappear,
Upon our brOws it cannot trace
A single shade of fear -
Our glowing hearts still c loser cling
To home and krudred dea
Where sweet affections blooming spring
Continues through the year.

The Wing Candidate for Governor,

Some of the papers Of this state, for a
change, are specializing as To who shall
be our next Governor or what is the
game thing, the Wing candidate for that
office. Thus far we have noticed only the
names of EaAsTrs FAIRBANKS, FaEDER>

VAN SADiN All are good men-iaiihful
Whigs-men Of experience aud capaci'

would honorably and well discharge the
duties of the Cove rnor's flee. From
his locality, however ,-Franklin county
having been but recently thus honored
the choice will most probably fall up
on another.
President WHEELER is man Vt high
repute, not merely as a scholar and
speaker, but also as a sound. sagacious
statesman. We could cheerfully support
him for any Office within the gift OF this
State. Usage, however requires that the
next Governor should come from diff
ferent locality--and precedent, in this
case, will not probably be made to yield,
even to secure SO good nomination as
that ui Pres. WHEELER.
Mr. HnLBnooK is favorably known by
his agricultural writings, and by his jr-
dicious course in the State Senate, dur
ing the two years he held a seat in that
body. lie has warm friends, who would
gladly vote for him at the next election.
Though comparatively young man, he
has gained an enviable position among
our public men, by his own independent
Efforts, and is entitled to the confidence
aud attachment of the people, as a man
OF sterling integrity aud ability. If not
w nominated, II is safe To predict that
his merits will not long he unrecognlzed.
The common expedition, for the last
year or two. has undoubtedly pointed to
Mr.. FAIRBANKS, as the successor Of
Gov. WILLIAMS No man in the state
deserves better OF the Wing party, or is
better entitled TO the confidence of our
citizens. lie is a man OF strict integrity
aud princIple; Of energetic and thorough
business habits of experience, as leg
islator, for several years and of stand
ing aud reputation that will shield him
Gom all attacks of his 5iileresi political
enemies. We believe the sentiment in
this region is decidedly in his favor, and
that majority of the Wings Of the state
will, under all the circumstances, be
best satisfied with his nomination. The
question however, is for them TO decide.
We have frankly expressed our own o.
pinlun, and we care not Ia do more.
