THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

sit is becoming conceded question ev-
erywhore in Pennsylvania, that David VIII
mot the noaiinee of The American and Re-
publican parties, will be GoycreSr. Moth
ing can be surer, and nothing assures guar
antee to those who look and hope for re-
formin all the departments of government.
With Wiimot at the helm Of State, the
! Legislative and Judicial powers will receive
such aduonitory directions as must necessa-
riy lead To an avoidance of the evils here
tofore Inflicted upon taxriddeu and an out
ragged people, BY partisau delnagogues. And
more than this. We can almost say, under
his administration, with certainty, that any
attempts through these coordinate branch
es, to bring about recurrence Of them, will
pruve abortiVe. We know the man, and
speak only from what ali we know of him.
We have no desire, nor do we wish it to be
understood, that we would manufacture for
him reputation not strictly aud truihfully
his due. Such things we will leave fur can
ting hypocrites to indulge in. And they
are 700, tn uauseating extent. Our So
styled Democratic exchanges abound ip full
some audatinns. Says one, our candidate
is a graduate Of Yale College; aLother, he
has been in office quarter of century
and n third, that bis fitness is based upon
eminent experience while, if the truth were
ted, the collegiau, it would appear, was a
sneaking tipller; the Office holder, little
better than panel thief and his expert
eneeship mere political parfizan.
"The people, however, will settle the
matter definitely, at the proper time, They
will decide, rot as to the classic and legal
attainnents of the aspiraut, but as TO his
MORALITY; net as to the number of years
he has been in Office, but as to the FIDELITY
he has displayed in the discharge of his du-
ties, and not as to his experience, but wheth-
er he is HONEST and WISE now. But a
correct decision is only possible where par
the masses. Hero, IN Berks, ii Is true we
expect little, we could not expect more un-
der the circumstances, for, as was the case
in Rome. an appalling cloud of ignorance is
hanging over these fair hills aud dales, leav
ing Only in view the demagogue and plur-
derer, who control the political action Of
people honest in all respects, but upon
whom deception has as yet not made per-
ceptible impression. Elsewhere throughout
the Commonwealth, tue case is difEereui.-
And were this not 50, the concession could
not be entertained for moment made at
the outset Of these remarks.
David Wilnot will be the next Governor.
The Americans will support him with 4 viii
ling hand and warm heart, aud the Re-
publican will yield him his suffsage with
the same jubilant feelings which peryaded
the breast of the patriot of the Revolatiou

PARsoN BRowNLow on DEMocRAcY.-
Parson Bronlow discourses IN the last nunl-
Der Of The Knoxville Whig, on the subject of
the late election in Tennessee. He acknow-
ledges the fact that his plrty has suffered a
disposed to coalesce with the Democracy.
His reasons for the refusal he gives in the
following brief extract;
