CANDIDATES FOR GovEREoR-Three candi-
dates for the Executive chair Of this State have
been placed in nomination within the past few
weeks, by as many different factions Mr.. John
cans; Mr. Erastus Brooks by the Americans
or Know Nothings; and Judge Parker by the
democrats These three candidates have been
nominated and set up by three conventions
claiming to be the organs Of the several parties
upholding the three Presidential candidates
mont, Fillmore and Buchanan. In this Gov
ernor's election, however, We are satisfied, from
the tone of the press and the people, that there
is no necessary connection with the contest for the
Presidency.
Erastus Brooks, the candidate Of the Know
Nothing or American party, is identified with no
special line Of State policy unless it be the spois
lie relies entirely upon q vulgar and ridiculous
attempt to form party by melting hostility on
The part Of members of one religious faith against
those Of another-the Roman Catholics. The
Pope the Jesuits the Virgin Mary, the Inquisi-
ton, the immaculate Conception, and Archbishop
Hughes-articles which would have been very
valuable in the middle ages-have been dug out
OF their primary formations to make political
capital in this enlightened nineteenth century.
During the past three years this party, by organ
izing a large number Of clubs and councils, and
taking position Of opposition against the Pierce
administration and the errors Of the old parties
has contriyed to keep up a sort Of vitality; but
latterly it has been dying out. Tie new and
paramount issues sprung upon the countryside
atrocious policy Of the administration with re
gard TO Kansas aGairs-the abolition of the con-
stitutioDal rights Of freedom OF the press and
freedom Of discussion in one section Of the Union,
have entirely crushed out all the trash of this
party and decomposed its elements. Brooks,
with the Know Nothing nomination, has no
chance TO get hundred thousand out Of the six
hundred thousand votes of this State. The rank
and file have already gone over to Fremont We
hear that some Of the Fillmore men have been
trading and bargaining with the broken up de
mocracy, promising them that if they viii aban-
don their State ticket they win give the Fill
more vote, as tar as they can manage it, for Blu
chsnan, in exchange for the border rufian de-
mocracy support Of Erastus Brooks. They
are worthy and natural associates, aud win, no
doubt, help each other. We say nothing Of the
atrocious ueachery OF the democracy towards
their own candidate.
The next candidate in the field is John A. King,
whose nomination and speech of acceptance were
people of this State. Mr.. Kings political history
has always been linked with everything unpopu-
lar detrimental and hostile to the interests Of the
State. He belongs to small pulled up clique,
and was long ago consigned to oblivion on Long
Island, in consequence Of the errors not only Of
himself, but of those whose blood he boasts runs
so purely in his veins. Not a single naturalized
voter in this State win ever tolerate the idea Of
voting for John A. King, for reasons which have
been fully laid before them. He was opposed to
DE nomination Of Colonel Fremont, and now
merely runs under the mantle Of his popularity.
H. was dug out of his distinguished retirement
over in Queens county, by that prince OF bold,
bad, corrupt, scheming. intriguing political buck
sters, Thurlow Weed whose schemes for spoils
and plumber in the next Legislature and Congress
we intend to exhume and deyelope at our leisure.
Mr.. John A. King is simply tool in the hands
of spectators, railway stockholders and lobby
agents worked by Thurlow Weed, their head and
master spirit.
The next candidate on the list is Judge Parker,
put in nomination 10y the Buchanan democracy,
who affect TO support him, although they are
even now intriguing and seeking to defeat their
candidate for Governor by the bascst rcachcry,
such az abandoning him for Brooke in order to
beg few more votes for broken down politi-
clan like Buchanan. We do not wonder that the
border rufian democracy are opposed to Judge
Parker. really and truly. lie is too good for
them. lie Is fair, honest. upright, honorable
man--one who does not affiliate with any cliques
one who will not allow himself TO be- used or
controlled by any spectators, lobby men or
stockholders He win, We are persuaded. re-
ceiye not only all the votes Of the indie
pendent democrats who go for Buchanan.
but those who arc decidedly in favor OF
Fremont. including the whole naturalized vote of
the State. He is the most popular the most
competent, and the best candidate, and we call
upon every intelligent democrat and every true
friend OF Fremont to combine and give their
support to Parker, in opposition to the mere tool
Of Thurlow Weed, or the affected fanatic and
poor stick of an editor, Erastus Brooks
