The NEXT CANDIDATE FOR GovERNoR.-
The Franklin Review of Friday, makes the
following, among other remarks, relative to
the next Wing candidate for Governor, which,
we arc confident, accord with the feelings Of
the wing party Of the State generally:
"We hope Gov. Campbell will con-
sent to serve another term. lie has rendered
himself extremely popular as publ Htficcr,
and we see no good reason why lie Mould
retire at the present timc on the contrary,
were it necessary or proper, we could offer
additional reasons for his continuing to serve
the people. The Wing people must, if ne
cessary, force him again to serve, ms they did
in the last canvass"

their editorial columns. We never feel the
necessity for doing any thingin that way, u.s.
whenever our editorial columns arc scant

eB- The first Of January is close at
hand, tho time when, according to very
foolish custom, old scores are expected to be
wiped out, as a necessary prerequisite TO the
commencement of new ones. TO many the
beginning of New Year is the season OF
rejoicing to Others of care anxiety ana
doubt. A man with some cleverness and a
little diplomacy, may work his way very
snugly through every other season; but the
first Of January with its main incidents,
debts and duns-wc don't like to dwell upon
it, the subject is too overwhelming. Happy
is the man who is free from debt, for he shall
not be sued. Delinquent subscribers will
please "fork over" Those who have the
honor of being our creditors are requested
not to trouble us with unnecessary visits, a'
we shall DO very much engaged for several
weeks in writing receipts, &c., and we will
call upon them at our earliest convenience

Dr. Kanc's plan Of II new Arctic Expedition
is an overland route, founded upon the hypo-
thesis that beyond the icy barrier which shuts
out communication with the North Pole by
water, there is an open sea or basin. The
course proposed to travel is n due northern
line. This is a highly important expedition,
and its results will be looked forward to with
deep interest by the people of the United
States, and by scientific men of all countries
From the London Times we learn that there
is to be another Arctic Expedition, headed by
DR.. John Rae, and under the auspices of the
Hudson Bay Company. This, too, is to be
for the most part an overland expedition
The starting point is to be IIudsons Bay
and the object Is to complete the survey OF
the Northern shores of America, small por-
ton of which now remains UNEMPLOYED.

swer. As party, while they have been more
true, by far to their convictions on the question
of freedom whenever it has arisen in Congress
and out than the miscalled g democracy," they
have nevertheless never manifested any intention
or wish to touch the question of slavery in the
slave States. They do not wish to discuss or
agitate that question, for they have nothing to
do with it, They do not wish to nominate they
never have wished to nominate, candidate for
the presidency, with any reference to his views
on slavery. Their past history is the proof of
this. They have not manifested any design or
intention even of disturbing the measures of Com
promise passed two years ago, much as the great
body OF them disliked and opposed, and now dis
like, portion of those measures.
So much they are willing
to yield for the sake of harmony and good neigh
borhood, while they strive for success under the
old flag, and on the old platform of agreeing to
disagree. More than this they will not grant.
Beyond this they will not go. They are willing
to hold to the old landmarks. They do not desire
to move stake or stone. But they will not allow
themselves to be forced on to new grounds, or to
take up new positions. They stand where they
have always stood, and they will stand nowhere
else. l...
If the Wings are to elect the Pres-
sident Of 1852 at all, they to elect him as they
elected the President of l848, without reference
W lHe Sihfcry question:, OF 10 any measures,
whether they be Compromise or any other,
that grow out of it. The Northern Wings are
willing to 60 for Gen. Scott because he is a good
Whig and because they believe he can be elected
They won't stop to catechise him as to his opin-
ions on any past measures of legislation, nor in
regard to his opinions on slavery. All they ask
of him is, that he shall not come out and pledge
himself to slavery men or measures, and thus
make himself sectional instead Of National
candidate; and this they will assuredly insist upon
let the consequences be what they may.
Let us not be understood as attributinp too
much consequence to the position Of few i'm
practicable Southern Wings, and as inferring
thence especial danger to the party The devel-
opments of the last two or three days forbid such
apprehensions, even if we could not safely rely
upon the sterling sense of such men as Mangum,
Bell, Gentry, Jones, and other old and well-tried
Southern Wings The speech of Mr. Gray in the
House to-day, and the letter of Edward Stanly in
the Republic of this morning, plainly point out
the course things will take in the South-so far
as Gen. Scott is concerned at least. Mr.. Stanly
is sometimes harsh in his expressions but his sober
second thought is almost sure to be right. To o
man of such inherent nobleness of nature, such
unsullied honor, and such genuine intrepidity of
character, combined with SO much clearness and
soundness of judgment, we can pardon much in
the way Of difference on minor points; and we
can never hold any other language toward him
than that of commendaton but with the most
profound regret.

Candidates for the Presidency.

1t has frequently been in our power to speak
in terms of commentator of men of all parties
whose names have been presented to the consid-
Grafton of the public candidates for the Presi-
dency; and we have been gratifed that such has
been the case. We have not been in the parti-
san service Of any political leader; and if we
had, the prejudices of partyism never could so
| far warp our judgment as to prevent our doing
full justice to any opponent.
There are men in both parties entitled to the
confidence the respect, and the gratitude of their
country; and though our preference may be ever
so decided and emphatic, we shall always be pre-
pared to endure defeat without chagrin or NOR
tifcation, and to behold the triumph of an hon
orable adversary without envy or hatred.
All considerations of the Presidency aside,
there are few Americans who would not speak
with exultant pride the name of CAss, q FILL
MORE, DOUGLAS, n HoUsToN, a BUCHANAN, n
sink to his grave unattended with the regrets
and panegyrics of even his most decided adver-
saries in life. What folly is it, then to suffer our
feelings and interests to tempt us, at every step
We take through the journey of ife to utter deca-
ratons and sentiments we shall so certainly at
some day feel !mpelled to disown and renounce
Let us all study well the important duty be-
fore us Of choosing whom we shall support by
such influence rs we may possess for the high sta
tion of President of the republic; but let us, ut
the same time, beware of the evils to which an
unw,e enthusiasm may lead US. We doubt not
our readers will often discover in our columns
the bias Of our own preference, and that that
bias will be found to conflict with the predilec-
tons Of many with whom we hold daily con-
verse. Yet there will be no strife nor discord
between us; nor shall there at any time be evil
denced q spirit of obtrusive dctation, nor de-
gree Of attention that would impair the interest
of our journal The most that we shall proba-
bly, do will be to give such information as will
instruct and guide US all Alright in reference to
the great question Of the day.
