which Aeatreatea Clearly and toreibly. The
address was very mach eaiempors, but what

ted in force. The Governor closed his nd-
dress by an appeal 20 ihe people to eneour-
age these Observation-Disclosures associations,
and 20 the members to persever in their good
work l. IS . noticeable fact that Pennsyl-
yania has Governor whoso heart is in all
movements intended fUs the moral aud re-.
ligious coed Of the people; and who lends
bis eontanance sald encouragement 10 otner
than the accomplishment Of political and
partisan purposes. Whatever may te
thought Of The Governors political opinions
and practices, noone can deny hm parity Of
character, goodness OF heart, and oiearness
Of understanding.
have learned here, FROM reliable source,
taat Governor Felioek's name IS seriously
thought Of, in Influential political circles Mt
Washington ami elsewhere, in connection
with the ao,niEation eor the Presidency. He
is said to be acceptable to Che Americans Of
both sections, from the general conservative
nature Of his views, and VII not be olious
to that large of1ae.. Of the Republicans
who are not hostile to Au,ericanisui. Many
members OF Congress from Ohio and other
Western States, sosne from New York and
New England as well as the body of the
Pennsylvania delegation i Is said to be
urging his nouiuaiiou.

latare Of our State. very truly remarks
that
''Tho election Of Gov. Bizler IS not his
own triumph. 1t is victory of the same
desperate politicians who forced Postmaster
Genera! camphsll Upon tho Democratic
ticket in l85l--the same, who when re-
bnlea bythe people, again forced him into
Gov. Bieler's Cabinet in 1852, and the
same mes Who again forced him into tie
mpst important Cabinet position, in a pcliti-
cal Pojrt Of view under President Pierce.
The pr.y had revolted at each step thus
taken to force nan iato power agaias :
heir vii, aud the stroke of that Tengence
fell upbn Gov Bigler 10 1854, as it fell
upon Judge Campbell in, 1851. Still de-
fant however, the programme IS played
steadily to~a7ds completion, whenever the
voice of the people can be s;ultifed by q
