Organ)1
The Stanton Convention, after an exciting strug-
gle OF three Gays, brought their deliberations TO a
hapsy and harmonious conclusion on Saturday
night. They have nominated, as has been seen by
the proceedings, Henry A. Wise, Of Ac omac, for
Governor; Elisha w. M Comas, Of Kanawha, for
Lieutenant Governor, and Willis p. Bocoek, OF Ap.
pomattox, Attorney General. We hail this resnls
cheering to the democratic cause. One Of our ca
dnal principles is submission to the will OF The ma
joriiy. We struggle msniully, independently, ar
IDENTITY, with determination each 10 carry the point
deemed best for the interest Of the party and the
State; but when overuled, we know how to submi,
gracefully END unite jealous TO carry out tne wishes
OF the majority Such win be the result. Sach
hereafter will be the jealous operation OF all, that
our pominees win go into the CONTEST animated
with the inspiring belief that they will be- as here
tofcre, triuIophsnrly sustained.
We know that, whoever might have been the
nevertheless have eviDced unqualified disapproba.
ton. We know that the nominees occupy the un-
envisbe position OF being the marks 10 he shot at
by every sportsman who can draw trigger or
feather Dart. But democrats Of every shade of
opinion will rally around toem, and, with uohfted
bucklers locked II gsther, will shield the from the
assaults of the malicious and the open foe. We 10

the good old democratic chip, 70 clear her decks foo
action. See that her magaz mes are filled with am
nunitidA her guns bright and her sabres keen; pre-

invoke them by all they hold sacred and venerable,
by all that wakeDs uemorys fondest retrospects TO
deferd her decks from hostile viciols tread, and
permit no foe TO tear her 81 mons ensign down.
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to zee
That banner in the sky"
To the wing parry we present our nominees a.
wings, such as those Of revolutionary memory were
when parties were divided into wing and tory

patriot, and the naus Of tory ano hsr name for

tunes, and their sacred honor 10 maintain them
ss such. As wing, such ss those we're who pro
claimed the freedom II the press of the great
bulw AXIS Of liberty, the freedom Of speech as its
greatest safeguard. Az wing, such ~ those were
who believed "tt at religion, or tue duty vhcb W.
owe TO our Creator, and the manner OF disc1arging

not by force or violence and therefore, al men are
equally entitled 70 The free exercise Of religion &C

That the waters should Eot pssa his i1oeat
when lie appointed the foundations OF the earth,

this kind Of wisdom, they confess that they are
