"Black spirits and white
Blne snlrlis and greY.n

The plain truth is, we are tired ol follow
ing the erratic course of our executive Gov
ernor, and proposed to ourselves last week to
stop and let him have his own course without
another word on our part But the late mails
bring us still further accounts of his conduct
and statements, of such character, we feel
compelled TO take notice of them. What we
particularly refer TO now is another letter he
has lately 'Crit, and, by the way, the Governor
seems to be possessed of perfect oacoethes
seribeadi, letter follows letter, and if he keeps
on he will rival any of the great novel writers
in the immense amount of written produc-
tons emanating from his pen--sorry we can't
say brain within given space of time
This letter is addressed to the Editor Of the
Flag Of the Union and seems intended still
further not exactly to define his position, but,
If possible, to darken counsel. He speaks Of
the late Democratic State convention as "that
unfortunate concern m--defames its action, as
perses the motives Of its members, aud gener-
ally villifes the whole proceedings speaks
of the eifrontery Of those who complain Of his
not having actively enlisted in behalf of such
ticket. The iirsttalics here are his own, and
so are the last. Such ticket indeed And
this is the man who claims to be democrat
of the democrats, to have perilled himself in
countless ways for tho good of the party
and more, to be willing still to do the same
thing, "Gracious Heaven, can such things
be, &c.g'
But this is not all, he speaks further on o.
the Democratic cause as being we'll nigh ruined
