UNwIsE.-Wc see notices of the form

of Cameron Clubs in Pennsylvania. Tn
Ill our party has selected its Standard
bearers, we deem such unions unadvisablc,
iuasmuch as they tend to make more ol Il
personal contest than one of principle, and
to repel the friends Of other candidates.
Both these gentlemlu can moi be nomlna-
ted, but, entering iuto the convention un-

We can carry the Presidential Election
Whether we ,cW, depends upon the hon

rious candidates.
UNTIMELY.-Already, gentlemen Of oul
party are proposed for Us. Senator, to be
chosen year hcnceI What folly, We
have three little jobs to do before that
election comes off-we need first to elect
President, a Governor, and the next
Legislature then will be time enough tC
talk about another Senator-perhaps two
