Georgian Of the 4th inst. says that it would not be
surprised if the American candidate, Hon David s.
Walker, was elected Governor of Florida.
This is a very candid admission, and an idea may
be formed as to its Importance when it is known that
it emanates from one who s perfectly well posted up
in regard to Florida Affairs The senior editor of the
Georgian was for long time resident at the seat of
Government in Florida and for several years edited
the Democratic State organ. No man, therefore, is
better ableto judge as to how the State will so than
Mr.. Hilton. And when he hints that an opposition
candidate is likely to be successful, there must be
very little hope indeed for the Democratic nominee.
II the Americans elect their Governor, there can
be little doubt but they will elect all their ticket. In
Florida few people vote split Ticket especially at
time like the present, when there are important
issues at stake. Since that State was admitted into
the confederacy in 1886 they have had three Guber
material elections each time the Legislature was the
same in politics as the Governor by large majority
both in separate and joint ballot.
II, therefore, we are to Judge from the past and
the admission of the Savannah Georgian we can
safely count on Florida sending an American Senator
to the next Congress, and giving the Union candi-
dates Fillmore and Donelson, her vote in the ensuing
election.

occupation at different times, and his religious and
