E. tha man they mean to place at the
beafl9of affairs. When we make Henry
IA. Wise Governor Of Virginia the NORM
will know what we mean.
g Mr. McComas is comparatively
Young man; but has already distinguished
himself by valuable public service. he
has fought gallantly and won enylaole
laurels upon the field OF battle. He Nasa
member of the Reform Convention IN
Is5o-'51 and served with credit to
himself and satisfaction to his constituents:
He has always been a Jealous advocate OF
the doctrine of State Rights and. aimee
he was entitled to a vote, has been an
active and efficient Democrat.
" Mr.. Bocock has already passed the
ordealsof the polls and has proved an
industrious, faithful and eminently able
officer. The testimony to his efficiency.,
capacity and industry in the office OF At
torney General, is unqualified and con-
elusive, and is alike creditable to himself
and to the party which conferred 1t on
him.
The Fredericksburg Recorder is Meth
er backward nor lukewarm in pledging its
services to the cause of the party
.sWe are free to say. Mr.. Wise was not
our first choice, Notwithstanding his bril-
liancy of talent nevertheless. We are
prepared cordially to support him. We
should have preferred either Mr.. Holla-
day or Mr.. Seldom, but the Convention
sdidsnot. They represented the will OF q
majority of the party, correctly, no
doubt, and it becomes us now, one
and all, to forget personal preferen-
ces, and to elect Mr.. Wise by
majority worthy of the Virginia Democra-
CIV and We intended to do It, despite OF
all or or any combinations that may be for
med to defeat him. The Democracy mean
to give warm and Jealous sUpportto the
entire ticket Mr.. McComas' nomination
for Lieut.. Governor willsbe well received,
and the nomination of w. p Bocock as
Attorney General hailed with gratifca7
ton, he having been tried and proven
faithful officer, distinguished for depth of
legal learning and power Of argument,
The South Side Democrat is not behind
in jealous ratification of the nomination.
Hear it
"What may have been our individual
preferences it is not worth while now to
talk about. We lay them down for sa-
crifce on the altar of the Republican par
ty, and we call on our Democratic friends
every where throughout the State TO do
likewise. CAN for the cause and nothing
for men" is the motto that has borne US
on to victory heretofore, and in less crit
ical seasons, Should we now forsake It
in the hour of peril? In the candidate
for Governor. we have noble leader of
unquestionable talents, eminently worthy
of the confidence and supp, TT OF our par
ty in the present crisis. Justly named
the Tribune of the People" he has spent
long life in their service, demanding
their rights and redrcsSing their wrongs.
AS an orator. he hos few equals and no
superiors in the broad limits Of our land,
and all that he needs to crown the Dem
ocratic cause with success is the jealous
and hearty cooperation Of the party
That he will have it, we will not permit
ourselves for q moment 20 doubt"
Really, we feel for those who expected
to defeat Mr.. Wise through discussions in
the Democratic party.
