OUR CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

1t IS certainly gratifying TACT that amidst the
differences of opinion among Democrats upon
the Presidential question, and the difficulties
surrounding it, all interests in the party unite
heartily in support Of II. D. Foster our aomi-
nee for Governor. His nomination was made
without fort on his part in fact, he was no:
candidate Tor the office. It was iree-will off
ering of his parly-a tribute TO the character d
integrity OF the man. At the very mention Of
his name the voice OF faction, as well as OF per-
sona Interests and ambition, was hushed, and
then like the storm that succeeds the calm, with
one universal shout he was proclaimed the nom
lnee.
Mr. Foster is good man. BY his industry,
his unbendIng integrity-hjs devotion TO the
duties OF an honorable profession and entire free
dom from anything like the trade Of politics
his manly adherence to the PRINCIPLES of his
party because of conviction and no; for the pur-
pose of official position, as evidenced by the
conduct OF his whole life, he has gathered 20
himself the confidence of the people a conf
dence as solid and unwavering as his own char
acter is spotless and deserving.
1t cannot be disguised, for public sentiment,
upon the gubernatorltora question has become
patent all over the State, that to-day the hopes
not merely Of his own party but of the sober,
intelligent, conservative people of Pennsylva-
MIA, are centred on Mr.. Foster as the proper
man for the Executive Chair in preference to
his opponent, Mr.. Curtin. All, or nearly all
OF that class which Daniel Webster denomna-
ted ''the solid men OF Boston, Those men in
teresed in, and who control the great COM
mercial and monetary interests oflhe Common
wealth and who more generally in the past
have voted with the opposition, infinitely pre-
fer Mr.. Foster, and ale ready to give him their
votes. The reason Of this we have given in
describing the character Of :he man, 10 wit, that
be is not an ofiice-seeker, OF mere politician,

A BIT OF ROMANCE.
A SURVIVOR OF THE STEAMSHIP ARCTIC.

The New Orleans Courier has the following
story A gentleman OF the Second District o.
this city was on board OF the lll-fated steamer
Arctic, when she was lost on the 9th Of Sep
tember, 1854. The sad news reached here that
he was among the missing, and cast gloom in
his household, for he had a tamily-a young
and pretty vile and cuild. He was well-to-
do 10 the world, and left property sufficient for
their maintenance. The young widow mourn
ed her lost husband sincerely, doubtless, but
sorrow Is not everlasting, and as the long years
rolled past, the mourning weeds disappeared,
the roses on her cheeks bIoomed again, and
smiles played on her rosy lips. She was young
and pretty. and suitors were not wanting. She
married again. Several years Of quiet bliss
have passed since the day she took new COM
panion in hfe, and now suddenly the electric
spark of the telegraph, flying with the speed Of
lightning, has struck the edfice OF her happi-
ness-srruck at ITS base, so as to make it totter
anc crumble. A dispatch from New York,
received day before yesterday, announced the
arriva! OF the long lost first husband. Cling
ing to some piece of the wreck, he had foated
to distant shores, where for SIX long years he
lived with the hope OF meeting once more the
beloved ones he had left at home, but unable TO
find homeward bound vessel. We hope 10
obtain some particulars concerning his CIusoe
lie, and Of the many hardshiPs he must have
sudered-all OF which dwndle into mere moth
ingness at the thought of the disappointment
that awaits him on his arrival home. The feel
ings OF the twice welded wife may be better
imagined than described.
From the ": .. Bee, .7ug 9th.I
We understand on reliable authority that the
survivor OF the Arctic disaster, of whom we
spoke on Tuesday, will be in this city this even
ing. The person is Mr.. Fleury, who was we'll
known as having kept the grocery at the cor
ner of Orleans and Robertson streets, where his
wife now resides. She married NJ. Fleury's
chief clerk, Mr. Weber, aud had three children
by him. Her two children by Mr.. Fleury-a
DAUGHTER of seventeen and son of fiieen-are
now living with her.
Last Saturday she received the first Intlmatlon
Of the startling news of her husbands return,
after an absence of five years and hall. IN a
letter from him, dated at New York A lady
friend, 10 whom she showed the letter, reports
the substance Of it, to be that Fleury, with FIVE
other survivors of the Arctic, were picked up
from the fragments OF the wreck by whaler,
which kept on her long voyage.-This ship
was subsequently sunk, and fifteen OF those a
board saved themselves upon the island from
which they were taken by another whaier,
which was just commencing her cruise, and
which only returned tc New York we. or
two ago.

HENRY D. FOSTER.

In the midst OF all our political troubles we
are reoicrd to find determination on the part
of the Democracy TO achieve at least one great
victory this year. The masses of the people
all over the State are becoming fully impressed
with the excelences ofthe Gubernaorial STAN
dard bearer OF the Democracy, HENRY D. Fos-
TER, and are gathering enthusiastically TO his
support Mr. CURTIN, the candidate o: the op-
position, has been congralulatiDg himself for
some time past that in the coming contest he
will have everything his own way-Indeed that
his election IS an inevitable and certain event.
Tn this assumed security he will find himself
egreglously mistaken. The people CT PenHsyl-
vania recognize in HENRY d. Foster one of the
most eminent and useful public men within her
boundaries. man of unimpeachable 'ntegri-
ty, high toned generous nature, and the pos
SCISSOR OF high intellectual gifts amply qualify
lng him for the most honorable public position
to which The people can elevate him. Mr..
an untarnshed public record. Suspicion even,
conscious of its weakness, finds no word against
the purity of his character, and the high con-
trolling integrity which marks each and every
act of his political lie Such man as HENRY
d. FOSTER the people should, and will, delight
to honor 10 the hands of such man the du-
ties of the GubrrnatoriaI chair will be admin
lstered feariuly and faithfully. He will call
no venal and corrupt politicians as his counsel
ors nor Will he attach his name TO an act Of
legislation which does not bear unmstakable
marks of protection and advancement of the
great interests of the whole people.
Let us therefore prepare earnestly and eflec-
lively lor the great contest lu every county
IN the State the Democracy are uniting with
unparalleled enthusiasm, determined 70 bury

but man who has built up that solid character
that Impacts confidence in his integrity and
conservatism. These great interests always
desire stability in the government-they dread
change, innovation and experiments-and hence
they naturally dread the accession of mere
poIitiesan to executive position. This whole
Interest IS for Foster, and will be felt in the
election as tremendous power. Indeed, it
may likely decide the contest, If the Democrat
ic party as Partizan organization, does It's du
ty, and polls fall party vote.
Mr.. Curtin is very different man from Mr.
Foster. He was pitch-lorked into public noto-
riety, ike many others OF bis class Of men, by
the Know Nothing organization of 1851, and
became the Secretary of the Commonwealth IN
der the administration Of Governor Pollock
an administration that IS remembered in Penn
sylvania only ior its imbeCiiity and corruption.
Mr. CuEtin was the banker of that administra-
tion,-otices were bought and sold, vetoes wers
in market at stipulated prices, or favorable
consideration Of bills purchased in accordance
with the proportions Of the scheme aud the abil-
tiles OF tie parties to pay. So shamelessly was
ihlS caped on that it became subject OF pub
lie notorlrty at Harrisburg common indeed,
as finally to attract little remark. Mr.. Curtin
is a mao Of considerable polish of address
