Candidate for Governor.

Mr. BooTH, of the Free Democrat, yields to tn,
repeated solicitations which have been made ant
permits the use of his maine as candidate for the
Gubenatorial nomination, by the Republicans, This
sconclusicn he announces as follows:
But the developments of the last twt
weeks have determined our course. W.
know that we have hosts offriends through
out the State who desire our nomination
We know. too, that we have other friends
who say :hey would be glad to see us nom.
mated, but they are afraid we can't be
elected. and if we are defeated, either be-
fore the Convention or the people, it will
be by the aid of just such friends.
A man may rise up exultant from f
mountain weight of opposition and shake
off triumphantly an avalanche Of open foes
but what can he do against friends who
insist on canning him with kind wishes
and cowardly fears.
Though many editors and leading poll
ticians, are against us. we are morally GER
that the majority Of the people composing
the Republican party prefer our nomina-
ton and election, at the present juncture
to that of any other man, and that. if the
question was submitted to them directly,
they would so declare. And any one who
doubts on this point, can have his doubts
removed by going through the rural dis
tricts.
We have, therefore, come to the conclu-
sion to let our name go before the Conven-
ton which meets at Madison, on the 5lh oil
September next, as candidate for the Of.
fee of Governor. If the choice falls on US,
we shall take the field and address the peo-
pie, on the Questions involved in the can
vass, throughout the entire State.
fany other man better represents Re-
publican principles, and has better pledges,
in his past life, of devotion to those princi-
Piles and can bear aloft the Republican stan
dard in the coming canvass with more cour-
age and energy. and rally the people to its
supper: with more enthusiasm, and can
better defend the Republican cause before
the people, and charge home npon our foes
in the field of conflict with more effectiv-
ness. let him be chosen to lead us to bat
tie and to victory. i-.

We care not copper for this party or that
party-we have no desire to put up this man or
put down that. We go in for the freedom prin-
ciple, because we know its success will lift all
humanity to more favorable conditions in all res
poets, and more firmly place and secure all men
on an equal basis of rights and privileges. 1t is
the opposite of the slavery principle which is
sure to crush the nation, falling first upon the
obscure, the poor, and the weak In this light
only are we anxious that our naturalized and all
other voters should view it. 1t may serve for
the time being the selfish purposes of the Hun
ker leaders, to work upon the ignorance of men
and lead them to their own undoing, but we ear
nestly beseech all men thus appealed to, to heed
not their teaching or ours either, if they please
not to, but to carefully scrutinize for themselves
the fundamental, controlling principles on which
parties are based and act accordingly.

right of the State to prohibit the liquor
traffic Second, the constitutionalitv Of

A small TEMPEST.

The Racine Advocate makes terrible ado over
the fact that the Excursioniss from Racine to Du-
buque to attend the celebration at the latter place
were charged fare over the Lake Shore Road, charg
ing it to the Milwaukee meanness envy of Racine
&c. &c. The Advocate simply makes itself ridicu-
lous. There was no reason under Heaven why these
excursonists should have passed free this Road
on that occasion any more than on every other occa
sion and at all times Nor was ii discrimination
against Racine, for saw excursionst from this
place, pay his regular fare to Chicago without grum
bling, without considering himself subject to any
grievance, and without soliciting a newspaper to
abuse the President of the Road Milwaukee, and al
hands concerned.

Boo-hoo-o-o-o.

The Union saving prints are just now in a
most lachrymose condition. In Ohio, the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, perceiving in view of the re-
cent movements of the Republicans of that State
their ultimate triumph, breaks out in most lam
cntable wall over the shattered fragments of the
Union, which it clearly sees scattered over the
country In this State the Waukesha Plain
Dealer breaks out in so nearly the same language
that we think it must exchange with its Cleve-
land namesake. The idea of electing a northern
President with northern votes, is really terrible.
The south won't stand it no how. They will
pull down the pillars of the temple, they will go
directly and straight out of the union. We have
endured southern principles at the head of the
government for long time, without any partic-
ular threat on our part, of destroying the Union;
and have also imbibed somehow the impression
that the free and independent electors of this
mighty Republic have right to vote for and elect
whom they pleased, within the constitution, to
the Presidency. But this i! appears is not the
case The Union belongs to the South, we be-
long to the South, every thing belongs to the
South, and the moment we presume TO dare to
elect Salmon T.. Chase or any other man who
does not believe in the divinity of Slavery, to the
Presidency, that moment the south will pull out
the plug and let us all sink. 1t is terrible to be
sure And the painful contortion of these old
Hunker prints in view of this possible result,
would be exceedingly terrible if it were not ex-
cessively ridiculous. Do contain yourselves gen.
tlemen The thing is bound to happen, and there
is no kind of use in putting such horrible face
on it. Better make arrangements in time to sur
vive it deccntly.
