Governor Bixlor.

We are glad to see that the certainty OF Gov Bglers
denomination (says the Democratic Union, is hailed with
delight by nearly every democratic paper in the State.
There has been some trouble in Wesmoreand Philadel-

cherish the hope, rather do not entertain doubt
that after the convention shall have declared him to be

the chief magistrates Of Pennsylvania have discharged
the duties pertaining to that important Office with
ability none with more faithful attention to the interests
OF the Commonwealth, or with more rigid adherence to
democratic principles than Gov Bgler and would be
lasting stigma upon the party any portion OF il should
desert him or not work zealously for his reelection
Every democrat has undoubted right TO oppose the
nomination or denomination of any for any Office

failed, it is time TO cease for faciious opposition
founded upon purely local personal gefs is Of
all other the least Unsuitable
We DO not know Of single public act of the present
administration which has not been in strict accordance
with the principles of justice and democracy; we do moi
know of solitary which has been injurious to
the public INTEREST," on the contrary, Gov Bgler has de
voted all his energies TO the service OF the State handled
every topic which II was his duty TO discuss with
ability and shown himself on all occasions which
quired knowledge and research fully equal TO the
gencya statesman Of enlarged views and honest pur
pose.
Such is the opinion, not only OF his partisan friends
but OF large number Of his political opponents and ",
appeal with great confidence TO every democrat in The
State no matter what he may have said done hereto
fore in respect to Gov. Bglers renomoa,ion TO stand
now faithfully and firmly by the party it's principles
