Now that the hot weather is nearly over.
political matters begin to assume a mere def
nate shape. Already there begins to be an
uphcaval among the chaotic masses of ante
diluvian whiggcry. fossilizcd democracy and
Guick-sand AmcrcanSm. not excepting the
"intenSe' or "Straiclit-out' portion of the
Republican party. Mr. Banks, however. is
the only candidate for Governor now in the
field, but a Convention is already callc'! By the
so-called National Americans. TO be holden m
this city, on the 10th prcx;mo. when it is cy-
pectcd that the present incumbent. Henry ].
Gardner. viii receive the nomination. ii
such should be the result. The friends Of
Banks will have hard battle to fight. for
Gardner is quite popular with a certain class
OF politicians. and thoroughly understands
all the wires in the network OF political CHI
cancry. Bat what seems strange. is. that in
the ranks Of a party. having iior It's object the
advancement of free institutions there should
be 4 class Of men ready to pick flaws and in
various ways distract attentions and attempt 10
produce d;scor,l Ofthis class is Hon. J. i.
Goodrich. who is at the head of numerous
fraternity having similar motives. Bv the
greater portion Of 'hr Republican party. he IS
regarded a. kind of numbering Eo-cart, who
is under the tlelu,ion that the great questions
of state are TO lie trundlcd around by him.
an,, DISPOSED o: after his own direction He
has Just ittcA an unrcasonahly long letter
10 which no re:,ar,; is paid. except as being
the Wild illusions of an crratic nind.-in
which he advances the same ideas as at the
Convention which nominated Banks. Viz. that
it was All outrageous piece of inconsistency
for Banks to accept th- nomination for Gov
crnor both on ;iic principles Of the parties
represented by The Springfield and rhilad,l-
phia Platforms 4. the time OF The iscTul.;-
can Convention lis arguments were received
with perfect Indifference. and they Will rosv
doubtless receive tha. r:cr:,cl i Hard tx he
people Il, Large. The -rcat opposition. how
ever, comes from the Democrats the wi..-s.
