This We must expect and need not fear, 81 lorg as
the electors of both parties remain seriously fKet
in the determination to defeat Wocd as their
supreme object
We will now indicate the qualifications which q
candidate should possess in order to combine the
entire force of the opposition and insure its tri

peachsble character, and Of great frmuess AID en-
ergy. He should be Democrat, but one 60 much
more remarkable for independence AID honesty
than for partisan subservieucy, that every voter
could confde in his administering the Office for the
universal good, and not for party aggrsudize ment.
He should also, so far as possible, be ucobectOn'
