LOCATION OF OUR CANDIDATES.

TO ths Editor Of Iht ", 4. JrtoHSe
Sic: have read large number Of communications
on the subject OF the Republican nominations for Pre,i
dent ana Vice President and admire both the ibera,y
and the good Judgment which prompt you to opsn your
coum, 10 the discussion on the part of the people them
selves Of mattersn which they have 20 deep concern.
For nv own part, am srs have derived much profit
fran tina perusal of these communications although.
where such diversity Of opinion Ia expressed We all
find much ss a mat Of oouTse, which does not pre-
cisely accord with own views.
In all that hiss been written TO the policy OF noml-
mating this or that distinguished representative of
PRINCIPLES Of lectDg candidates from one Stats or
another with The view OF securing certain States
which are deemed uncertain it seems TO me the just
claim OF the State of New York to have, in any event
one or the other OF the nominations has been rely
overlooked The general opinion seems 70 be that IL
one candidate sboud be selected from an extreme por
ton OF country the other candidate must DC TAKEN
from the furlhest opposite extreme ID which suitable
candidate can be found / do not approve OF this
theory any mole than an willing TO go at all out
of our way TO prove the charge ofseconaisu isss az
applied 10 Let tg0 best men be no0lndted no
matter IN chat States they may reside say Should
Mr. Seward receive the nomination for the higher
Office (which would, ofcourse entirely satisfy the people
of s Satel let the other candidate DO selected without
reference TO bis place OF abode long it be out Of
New-YoTk. But should the nouines for the Presi-
Gency be TAX from any other STATE then inss. that
there are aleonttolng reasons why the nominee Tor
the Vice Presidency should be citizen of this State
I'm the first psce il is time that Safe which con-
tributes large lorton OF the means b, which our
Government Is carried on, and within the boundaries
OF which 20 large a proportion Of the people OF tn
whole country reside had at least prospect OF seeing
one Of her distinguished sons elevated to one or the
other of tbeee high positions Ths grant, 10 not OF
isef conclusive; but add TO II the possibility oil our
losing this State through the exertions which open
enemies the Sham Democrats and their secret allies
the Nationals" will uDquestionably make, and
the Necessity Of selecting the President
within our borders ia as clear to my mind as
a cloudless SKY at MONDAY. Lose the State Of
New-York and all is lost, even though nearly every
pivotal Safe should be ours and the enemy knowing
fhis az well as we know it, will unquestonably make
this STATE their principal battle ground and actually
hope to defeat rs here by the of every device
known 10 TsmmsDy, the Sixth Ward, or the Pewter
Mug by the " laying Of pipe" and all the various
forms Of swindiDg comprsed within that phrase by
she expenditure q untGld sums OF money; by the
promise without sDt limit, Of okce by the forma-
zion Of third parties under suoh captivating titles az
National Uni0n, OSnservsnve, &c; oy t a1I
by serving up, In greater variety OF styles than 10
known TO the art Of cookery OF the bribery, cor
rupton and almost universal rascaty winch prevailed
at Albany during the session jdst closed.
In such an event az this who shall be the man
Who Of all the in this State, has gone farthest to
protect our people from the effects Of the bad legsa
lion of the hun days inst closed standing up hrmy
for the right regardless Of consequences vetoing bills
which he bnsw were conceived in fraud, no matter
whom it offended, and Withholding ais name IRON
others until they died Ia natural death in his hands
Need say 10 any citizen OF NewYork who reads the
papers that refer to EDWIN D. MORGAN, the present
Governor OF the State There are few men who
would bavs had the frmness 10 veto the Railroad
bills projected and engineered So they were Dy some
of the most experienced INSCRIPTIONS, and Pc Terfa
re -pullers in the State to offend whom has generally
resulted in political death 10 the offender Let us not
forget Gov Morgan for his mannness IN TINS regard
for bis talsnts his uniform blending OF afability with
dignity In the performance Of bis official duties, and
his unwavsring determination 10 do night though the
bEIEGATE TO THE FREMONT CONVENTION.
