OUR STATE TICKET.


state convention ale received with degree o
satisfaction which is likely to impart whole
some liveliness to the canvass. We have a
most excellent state ticket,-one for which
thousands will work earnestly, who, before the
convention met were more or less apathetic.
Mr.. Andrew, whom public sentiment had
clearly designated as the man to be made gov
ernor, at the present time, is one of those re-
pubcans who mean what they say when
they profess devotion to republican principles.
He has no concealments, but always utters his
thought distinctly. We notice that our anna
bic and dsinterested contemporaries, the Bos-
ton Post and the Boston Courier, think they
can gain something by representing that he
does not believe in slavery, and that he says
so i'll very plain words. Possibly these jour
nails suppose the people of Massachusetts
would prefer for governor some such man as
Benz. f. Hallett, or Caleb Gushing, or some
lesser representative of the pro slavery senti-
ment. They are welcome to make this issue
against Mr.. Andrew The public know all about
his position, and all about theirs. In his case
there is nothing concealed, nothing equlvocal
The more he is discussed, the better will he
appear. 1t is nomination so fit 10 be made,
that the people of Massachusetts will ratify it
with enthusiasm, by one of their heaviest ma
jorites in favor of republican principles and
candidates. But we will quote what's said of
our candidates by the republican press. Here
is something from the Boston Traveller -
In -,
opinion, Massachusetts has seldom had chief
magistrate who could be called Mr.. Andrews
superior, and the people will elect him by such
a vote as shall suffice to show how thoroughly
they are capable of approaching excellence.
1t is said that he is a radical and that his nom.
ination Identifies Massachusetts republication
with radicalism. This statement is correct
but SO far from being an objection to him, Mr.
Andrews radicalism is the best reason why
republicans should support him. The repub-
lican party is a radical party, but radical within
the limits laid down in the constitution of the
United States. Representing, in this state, the
liberalism OF the age, better than it is repre-
scented by any other man. Mr.. Andrew was
fairly entitled to the nomination he has re
ceived, and to the triumphant election which
will be his in November. The other nomina-
tiuns are all good. Mr.. Goodrich succeeds
Lieutenant Governor Trask, and his selection
Foster will make a first rate attorney general,
being an able man and an experienced lawyer.
That Gen. Oliver is named for state treasurer,
ought to satisfy all men, as he is in all respects
qualified tor the post, being a gentleman of
business habits, Of the purest personal charac-
ter, and of a high order of talent Mr.. Reed,
as auditor, will be valuable public officer,
and steadily perform his duties, which are of
an important nature. Mr.. Warner was NOM
u
and is the sole survivor of the successful
ticket of 1851"
The Boston Journal says
"Mr, Andrew is a man of positive ideas, and
of unwavering principle. These attributes,
and his purity of character and integrity Of
purpose, have given to him that great person.

His nomination will command the support OF
the republicans generally, and by calling forth
the jealous interest of a portion Of the party
who are often Indifferent in our state contests
will give new vigor and animation to the con
test, and perhaps greatly swell the republican
vote. Most OF the other candidates upon the
state ticket are scarcely less known to the re-
publicans of Massachusetts than Mr.. Andrew.
Hon. John u. Goodrich, the candidate for lieu

state, has had three years experience in the
office, the duties Of which he has faithfully
and creditably performed. Henry X. Oliver
the candidate for treasurer, is tavorably known

the cause of education. He was recently
