The State Superintendent.

The Grant County Herald, in which
County the Republican candidate for State
Superintendent resides, has the following
with reference TO him:
Tie Republicans nominated Josiah l..
Pickard, of this place. Aside from the
local pride naturally felt in having assign
ed TO one of our own citizens so prom-
nent a place on the State Ticket, we de-
sire to see Mr.. Pickard elected because
of his emIner' qualification for that office,
aud do not wonder that Democrats should
say they earnestly desire his election, for
while never afraid to let his sentiments
be known, aad always on the side OF
Freedom and Honesty, earnestly devoted
to Republican principles, he has never
been a noisy politician, OF long and most
successful cxpcrlance as teacher, al
ways laboriug to promote the cause of ed
ucallon IN the State, and possessing 50
much public confidence as 70 be chosen OF
all others, in spite of his unassuning
modesly, TO cooperate with Cha ncelor
Barnard and Supt. Draper in revising and
amending the school laws of the Staate :,
the people of Plattevile and Of this region
KNOW MN 10 oe d tidu OI many anu Va
ried talents, of sound judgment, a man of
deeds rather than words, of unbcnding
integrity, firm in his adherence to whgu
he deems right, mos; faithful in his per-
Torrance of what he Undertakes While
we are most reluctant TO spare him, even
for a little time, from the personal dlrec-
ton of the Academy here, for which he
has gained SO high d repu alton, we feel
that "the greatest good of the greatest
number " demands ,he sacrifice. And
sure that the people can have no borer
servant in the place for which he is nom
mated, We look for a nearly unanimous
vote hereahours, and hope for his election
BY a Iaage majority.

Bank Comptroller.

The Milwaukee Free Democrat. in
commenting on the nomination of Mr..
Van Stee nwyk, for Rank Controller, has
the following:
. The safety of the whole banking
system depends as much upon the INTEL
llgeEce and faithfuness of this officer as
upon the law. We hear II hiatcd that
the banking interests Of the STATE gr1H
SeHeraIIySazpp0rt .SquircS and oppose Tan
Tecnuyh. If so, it is worthy the auen-
tion of the people. Mr.. Van Steenwyk
will do no more than faithfully apply the
law should he be chosen. Why should
he, then, be generally opposed and his
opponent generally supported by this in
teres,2 Do the people at large desire
that these institutions should have any
unusual or lnlairtuf favors shown them
The people should be. as they have rea-
son to be, Jealous of this concentration Of
interest. 1t bodies no good TO them. Nr
Van Steenwyk is an educated intelligent
and honest man. Every favor the law
allows or comedies to Banks they viii have
at his band but the interests of the peo-
pIe al large will neither he ieoparded
nor sacrificed by him Gor any person,
persons or corporations We cannot
doubt that such a man as the Republican
nominee will be elected"
We heard the same thing intimated be-
fore the nominations Of either party We're
made, i. e. that if Squires was nominal
ted, the wildcat banking interest would
support him. No one who knows Mr.
Van Steenwyk, doub's his eminent fitness
for the position 10 which he is named
and if il be generally understood that ihe
/ class OF men alluded TO will generally op.
pose him, it will be the very best reason
/ in the world why every body should sup
port him. Two years ago Mr.. McGreg.
or encountered the opposition of these
same wildcat bankers. because they could
get no favors shown them except thost
consisten, with an honest discharge OF hi.
duties of the office. Now they think Mr.
Van Sseenwyk the most Objectionable o
the two candidates. Mr. Sguires hs
filled the place of Comptroller two year
and he suits them exactly. The peopl
will consult their own interests by eject
lug his opponent.

The entire wealth of the Free over the

Is produced by estimating the value of the
slaves at 81 900, 900, 900. Leaving the

stand thus:

Difference in favor of Free States 200 osl .s3I
More than three 10 one IN favcr OF the
Free States. THIS disparity is greatly
Increased by the fact that the territorial
limits of the Slave far exceed those of the
Free States, and embrace a mIder and
more genial climate, and richer and
more productive soil. The Slave States
contain an area of s,5l .44S square miles

of l53 ,S64 ,649 acres-enough to mako
half dozen States as large as the aver
age of those which form the Confedera-

In 1854, there was assessed in South
Carolina .l7,279,359 acres of land At
