Praaidantial candidataa.

The following from that vigorous and infu.
entlal journal of the metropolis of the North
west-the Chicago Tribune-is one of the nu.
mereus similar evidences that have come to
our notice, of the point to which the attention
of the Great West is directed for a presiden-
tial candididate: lB5 sasE
We want western mana PRACTICAL man
with clean reccord-one who, while admin
istering the affairs of government with ma
tional spirit, protecting alike every section ol
the Union. will not forget to extend thepowefal
arm Of influence over the more youthful States
of the Mississippi valley, and encourage en-
terprise and energy into full development
We want man who is identified with our vel
improvements and all our general interests
There is no State that presents prominent
candidate who so fully meets their wants as
Ohio That State, while Western in her in-
terests, is certainly located sufficiently to avoid
all ideas of geographical extremes
/ No one doubts the patriotism and integrity
nor ability of the Model Governor to dis
charge all the responsible duties of the Pres
idential chair. And it is evident no Repab-
lican, personally, stands higher in the esteem
of the people than Gov. Ohase--and certainly
no man can poll more votes Those who
make availability their standard for selection
can rest their labors, for no Republican car
make stronger showing in this respect
Gov. Chase has sound judgment-his Off
cial acts fully establish this faet-snd no in
discretion would characterize his administra-
ton. .E
With man closely allied to Western inter
ests-a man with mature Judgment, unim-
peachable neutrality-suspicious. ability anC
sagacity, and unrivaled availability, what cal
we expect under such leader but success

CORRECTED The Boston Courier corrects
that injurious Justification of the speech of
Carl Shurz, and explains its own part in the
matter as follows -
eve found the passage in question quoted
by itself in the New York Express, into which
it purported TO have been extracted from the
Harrisburg tPa.) State Sentinel There was
not only nothing to indicate that the passage
OF the speech was not seriously uttered, but it
was accompanied in those papers with re-
marks imputing it to Mr.. Carl Shurz in that
light Having never seen it before we made
such comments on it as it deserved, and they
could not be 100 severe upon the utterer, or
the patient listener to it, No person could
help perceiving that we expressed a sincere
and honest indignation and we are as sincere
ly glad to learn it was only jocular mode OF
meeting the argument OF an adversary"
1t was the New York Express that original
ed the false representation and in the col
umns of that journal the villainous work was
done deliberately and with clear knowledge
that the quotation was dishonest The Court
er's correction has surprised us agreeably. We
had supposed it to be custom of that paper
to let such things pass without correction.
Perhaps it will now publish Mr.. Andrews
statement OF what he actually thinks of John
Browns doings at Harper's Ferry.

ELI THAYER REJEcTED-Th congress.
sional convention for the ninth Massachusetts,
district was held Wednesday, at Worcester,
and the contest between Eli Thayer and the
republicans came to head. There were in
the convention las delegates, and the lover of
squatter sovereignty received only 8 votes !
The convention nominated Goldsmith +. Bal
ley, of Fitchburg, and 'Thayer declares that he
will run as an independent candidate. He is
probably sure Of the support Of nearly all the
parties opposed to the republicans, and of
thousand or more republicans beside, and yet
he will lack even then some two thousand votes
of an election. Mr.. Thayer is a man of con
siderable ability and Of considerable egotsm.
He has accepted squatter sovereignty because
il seems to him the wisest and best way Of
settling the territorial question. Perhaps he
is wiser than Washington and Jefferson, and
perhaps not. At all events, the republicans Of
his district seem with great unanimity to pre-
fer to follow the path marked out by the sages
of the revolution.

CRIcKET.-A match game of cricket was
played on Saturday last, between the Olympic
cricket club of this city, composed of boys, and
the Boston cricket club, on the grounds of the
Bostons in East Cambridge, which resulted in
favor of the latter. For want of time to finish,
the game was decided by the first innings.
The Olympics are very well satisfied with the
result, and regret the limited time as they ex-
pected a close game. The bowling and batting
of both clubs was good, and was frequently in
terrupted by applause from the spectators.
Mr.. George Pickering of Worcester umpired
for the Olympics, and Mr. Sidd for the Bos-
tons. Our Worcester boys were hospitality
received and entertained by the Boston club.
This is the sixth match that the Olympics
have played and the first in which they have
