THE STATE TICKET.

We have 4 few words to say about the
State Ticket. The Hon. ERAsTUs FAIRANKs,
the nominee for Governor, is well known,
within and without the State, for his per
sonal integrity of character, his liberality,
his ability, his Identification, on a large
basis, with the material industry of the
State, and for his sound Republican senti-
ments. His nomination was a fit one,
and it viii give US great pleasure to
aid in his election.
We are aware that some have assigned as
a special reason for his nomination this year,
that he was shabbily treated in being
deprived Of his second election in 1858. We
have heard that reason given by some who
labored effectively to defeat him then If
their change Of conduct betokens in them a
Just sense of their inconsistent and unreason-
able action at that time, we are glad to
have them show it as they DO. For ourselves,
as we labored heartily for his election then, we
have noacts toapologize or atone for now. As
far as party relations are concerned, we attach
no consequence to such a reason. Gov. Fair
banks-a candidate OF the Wing party for re-
election in l853-was defeated because that
year, as well as the year before, there beng
three parties IN the field (Whigs, Free-soilers
and Democrats), the Wings had not a
majority over all in the popular vote. The
same was true in the Legislature; but there
enough Free soilers united with the Demo
crats to elect Robinson, the democratic
candidate The next year there was an
entire breaking up of political parties
throughout the nation. The Republican
party consists Of men who, before that time,
stood-some in the Whig, some in the
Democratic, some IN the Free-soil parties
The present Democratic party, also, is made
up from all three Of those parties, though in
very different proportions.
We do not allow any claim upon new
parties to administer on the effects or to
make good the deillcations Of old ones.

with Nicaragua, Venezuela, Honduras and
