NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR.

JUDGE gROCKENBROUGH AND MR. EDMUNDSOH.
Private advices inform US that many of the leading
Democrats OF Trans Allegheny have already declared
in favor of Judge BrockenbrouRb, for the Guberns.
orisl nomination. We notice, also, similar manifes.
tatons through the press. II we are to infer from
this information, considerable movement among
The people of Trane Allegheny for the Judges nomi-
uslion it cannot be doubted that be will stand where
he deservest to be- among the foremost ssprauts be-
fore the convention. Judge Brockeubrough's high
reputation throughout the State as distinguished
urisf, his unmpeached political record, bis lsrgs cir
clio of intimate associates and connections in Eastern
Virginia, and the phaanx OF young mon who cherish
for him all The kindly attachment Of pupils towards
master whom they have learned to love and respsct,
cannot fail to rally for him slargs band of enthusiast
ito supporters.
We also learn that the friends of the Hon. a. A.
Edmund.on are pressing bis claims before the people
for the nomination Mr.. EdDundson has always en-.
joyed an extraordinary popularity throughout bis
district and his talents which OF the highest order,
beepeak ust consideration at the baDd Of the people
He is undoubtedly the fayorite sspirsut among the
people Of bis own district Not aittle indignation
has been raised by the lnvdious attempts of some
newspaper correspondents to create the impression
that Mr. Edmundson ID the mere candidate Of the po.
ciaps. This shot far too wide Of the mark to 10
jure him. Henry A. Edmundson is better known
throughout the valley the peoples man" than by
any other description. We learn too from several
sources that the great body Of Mr. Lstchsrs friends
will probably prefer Mr.. Edmundson nsTt to their
fret choice.
Indeed II Messrs Brockenbrough and Edmund
son were the only aspirants, we should even then
probably witness close and doubtful contest. How
much more so, when Faulkner. Hopkins and per-
feet pbslsnx of other tried and trusted Democrats
are all in the field, some Of whom, too, are equally
prominent in national reputation and equally favored
by the confidence of the people with either of the
gentlemen whose names placed at the head of our
article.
This we consider to be case in which every good
Democrat may fairly cry, "Hurrah for the winner"

DEAR SIR,
Iu consequence CT the passage Of a law by
our late Legislature, relative 10 tie Inspection
and Weighing of Grain i'll this market, 1t be-
comes necessary that we should be advised ot
your wishes un the subject.
The duty of the Inspectors, under the law,
is to take samples from the vessels, 10y which
the cargo is 10 bc sold, and TO arbitrate betwecn
buyer and seller. III case any difference should
arise as to quality and condition. The Insvcc-
tors are to receive as conlrensatio:l, one cent
per bllshe on Wheat. and halt ccut per bushcl
on all other Grain, Inspected or weighed by
them.
We are decidedly of the opinion that we can
manage any Grain placed i'll onr hands with
greater advantage for Your interest, than II 1t
should he subjected to the additional expense
and formali,ies as detailed III said iaw. Oar
long experience and the close personal atten-
tion that we give 70 all property under ouT
care assure us that we can guard against any
imposition, if attempted, better than the osi-
GERS who will receive appointments under the
law.
The 10th section Of the law makes it neces-
sary that we should have written authority
from the owuers of Grain consigned to Us, 10
dispense with the other provisions Of tie law.
The law goes into operation on the Isl OF
May. aud we hope you will lose no time IN
giving us your views on the subject.
Annexed yuu have u form or order winch
you can fill up and forward to US Cy the vo'Se'
by which you make your first consignment al
ter the first of May, ii you desire your GraIii
cold without inspection, &c.
The form Is az follows:
