sassinate him, provided his official career
did not merit their approval.
The Governor regrets the step he is
obliged to take. He feels confident that
if the promised assistance had been rem
dered, he could have administered the
affairs of the territory, in manner &C
ceptable to all honest settlers.
In relation to the outrages committed
by the pro-slavery party, he says the
half has not been told He pronounces
the murder of Buffum, by Hayes, the
most cold blooded and atrocious affair
ever witnessed.
The Governor complains bitterly. Of
distractions and mutilations of his COR
respondence. He says the mail has con-
stantly been opened and all objection
able matter to and from him extracted.
The governor thinks the establishment
of slavery constitution inevitable.
The Milwaukee Sentinel says, that
collector John White of that city has re-
turned from Washington, where he went
to get his commission renewed, and re-
ports that thenew administration intends
to rotate all the present incumbents out
of office, and put in new ones. lie did
not have the ghost of show to keep his
own place, and is quite confident that
others will stand no better chance than
he did. This will be good news for the
Outs, but the ms, we fear, will be entire
ly unable to appreciate the policy.
Appropos to the above, the Racine
Advocate publishes rumor to the effect
that O. a. Stafford, has been appointed
Post Master of that city, in place of DIR.
Is. B. Cary.
And this suggests to us the reflection
that it is little remarkable we hear OF
no person struggling for the shoes of the
incumbent Of the post office of this city
which is certainly not to be despised ia
the matter of pecuniary value. We dc
not mention this to stimulate the dormant
ofiice-seeking energies ofany of our hun.
ker brethren, for while the office -dispen.
sing power remains i'll the gift Of the
party now holding it, we, and we doubt
not the public generally, will be entirel,
satisfied to have the present incumbent
who has proved himselffai efficient
and obliging, remain.
s$ The Milwaukee Free Democrat
ailudes to the Iabors of Samuel d. Has
tinGs, as amember of the late Legislature
from Trempeleau county, and that paper
or some other one mentions his name ir
connection with the next Republican no
mlnation for Secretary of State. We
affirm whereof we know, when we say
that no member of either branch of the
late Legislature did an amount ofvaluablc
labor equal to MIR. Hastings, and in say.
ing this we do not disparage the labor OF
others, but put only proper estimate on
his. With reference to his nomination
for Secretary of State, we can only say,
that within the sphere of our knowledse
in the state, which is not very limited,
we think no person so admirably qua
lifted for that place as Mr.. Hastings. Oh
interchangeable industry, Of most scrupu-
lous integrity, ofmost obliging and agree
able manners, and possessed in very
high degree Of the peculiar ability requi-
red for that place, the republican party
will not only do the state some service
by nominating him, but will do itself
service, if it wishes to beat the present
accomplished and popular incumbent,
who, we take it for granted, will be reno
minated for reelection.
