hand. and the hopes and fears Of those who
are spoken Of in connection with the various
Offices are wrought upon by the extreme un.
certainty which enveIops everything con.
nected Herewith. With very few exceptions,
the Republicans who sought Offices It the
commencement Of the session, are now sat.
isfied to abide the result Of the deliberations
of their party in the Legislature, and be-
lieve there 10 much less than the usual con-
tention for public station among the mem
bers of our party. There are very few II
any Office seekers now at the Capital. The
honor of the new organization has been
INDICATED by the promptness with which its
Office seekers yielded to nominations, which
were by no means satisfactory, but neverthe-
less such az to put quietus on more deserv.
ing members, who submitted for the party's
welfare more than from their own convic-
tons of the propriety of the nominations
Considering the unusual submission to the
nominations SO far as they have been made.
we may with justice claim for the Republi.

ciple unalloyed by admixture with that inor-
dinute thirst for "the spells" which dstin-
gushes the Old Line Democracy.
| Opinions differ very much in regard to the
Old Liners intention in the matter Of the
election of U. s. Senator, sc. Some think
that from various considerations-the fear of
defeat of the appropriation bill-the dread
of returning to the people with this stain Of
violated honor upon their political garments
"a desire to keep all extraneous elements
out of the next Presidential contest-and
divers private interests, fully Is numerous -
potential-the Old Liners will before the I'd.
journment 60 into the elections. 1t isl be
hoped that these surmises may prove true,
| blu. the opinion Of the writer 10 that there
piH be no electionsif the opposition can carry
out their revolutionary policy. I believe
they are bent on preventing the election Of
any Fusionist to Office this winter, and will
carry out their policy At oil hazards Of repu.
talion and popularity. II 10 . matter Of par.
tizan life or death with them, and - the end

this injustice toward their victorious oppo.
nents. their lack Of msgnsnimity, or rather
their want Of justice. will be severely rebuk.
ed by the people the FIRST opportunity that of.
fers, and the next elections that take place,
where the people can reach them on that OF
kindred issues, will be to them . whip Of
scorpions, piled by sinewy arms and envsn.
omsd with poisons for which there 10 no an.
tdote to save the miserable victims from 20.
litical death. In their csucuses here. where

!, The Governor has approved the temper
ance bill. as you have been already informed
and it will be the law Of the State after ths
l2th Of June. He deserves credit for thi,

tend with, we may almos. wonder that he
acted justly in spite Of them: and having
done so, the Governor deserves the thsnki
