It must be admitted by all who have correct view of the signs of the times that the prospect of the election of Gideon Welles to the Governorship for the next year is almost certain and we are impressed with the belief that he will be chosen by the people He is strong minded, sensible and practical man the very man to head the Republican party and for the present crisis. He is man who has not been in debted to family influence for his elevation in life but has acquired his present standing by the exerton of his own energies by industry, prudence and perse- verance. His maxim through life has been that " where there is will there is way
 Clear headed he sees what will advance the interests of the industrial classes of society honest he will administer the affairs of the State for the general prosperity of all independent and practical he will not be controlled by time-servers be mis- led by sycophants. The honor and welfare of the State would be safe if confded to his care.
 Such is the character of the man and such is the character he bears with those who best acquainted with him It is true Mir Welles has never practiced in courts of justice and knows not how to dispute upon |" the ninth part of hair, but he is emphat- caly the for the place possessor of clear head and comprehensive mind Such being the man no who exercises the glorious privilege of freeman need hesitate moment who to cast his vote for for the the first office in State at the coming election
