crowds OF friends, upon hlS NOMINATION.
His reception everywhere was OF genial
and most cordial character, and gave good
evidence of the determination of those who
have placed him upOa the track, to sustain
him to the end --4 F.t.
1t is not 10y public display that he has
won this earnest regard. 1t is not by the
ia 'cinaton of cloquence that he has enlisted
so many and such varied sympathies in his
favor 1t has not been by intrigue, or re
sort 10 the articles too common in political
warfare, that he has advanced so steadily
and surely to his present proud position.
1t has not Teen the result of sudden or
Fictitious movement. born Of angry pas
sions or keen disappointments, that he has
been constituted the candidate of the Dem
ocratic party of the Territory.
Many circumstances during years past,
have combined to keep him, in greater or
less degree before the public, and to cause
himself and his conduct to be the proper
subject Of criticism. Difficult governmental
tasks have been assigned to him--important
civil trusts have been repoSed in him-op-
portunities for acquiring wealth have fire.
quently been within his cOntroI-and in all
things he has been called to do, there has
ever been an ample justification Of the cor
rectneSs Of his conduct and the purity Of his
motives. The public eye has been upon
him, and the high character of an huaea
man which he bears, and conviction of
the truth of which he has impressed upon
the people of the Territory has, more than
anything else, contributed to make him a
prominent man. Silently but surely he has
won his way into the general confidence,
and his name and reputation are known
and respected, from the centre to the
farthest limits of this Territory
The lNia.esotiam is pleased to lay particu-
lar stress upon the purity and weight of
character Of the Republicans candidate,
and by inference places Mr.. OLMSrED be-
meath him Oh these points. We have no
desire to abate Mr. MARsliAll's character
in the least He is good citizen, and
privately we believe, a good man. But he
cannot challenge the palm of superiority
against Mr.. OLMsrED, upon the record of
whose life there is no stain-who has lived
with honor in this community, respected
quite as much as Mr. MARSHALL, and trusted
and coniided in Just as much ee.'.aaa
The candidates, then, having 10 percepti-
bic difference in civil position, character or
public confidence, it is well TO compare
their merits as candidates for the Office
of Delegate. Mr.. MARSHALL is n "green
hand "--he has had no experience further
than that of Il Debating society or a political
Conreltibn, and has stood but few, if any,
of the hard ruhs incident to getting into the
arena of politics. Mr.. OLMsrED has seen
service both in the Legislature, and as Il
leader of the party, in tie capacity of an
Editor he is trained by actual expert
ence to properly ill the dnties Of a Delegate,
and will do honor TO it,; Can there lie a
hesitancy as to IA choice between the NO
men! Even setting party doctrines aside,
Mr.. OLMsrED stands the superior of Mr.
MARSHALL in all respects; and when we
add that he is the standard bearer Of the
real Democratic party and its pure progress
sive doctrine, and that Mr.. .MARsHAiLis the
representative of a pack Of e isms." which
can never be harmonized, Or reduced to
practical action 10y him or any other man,
it will be evident to all good and tbinking
men, THAT the choice of the Democracy
should be the choice Of the people, and DAVID
OLMsrED of right must be the next Delegate.
