VINO shall be Governor !

The Painesyills (Geauga) Telegraph Of the
9th, on ethe two Governors" the one we have
and the one we intend to have at the next elec
ton. In regard to the one we have, 1t says;
.For sometime past general onslaught has been made
by bastard Republicans and the Democrats upon th'
Governor OF the State, with .ect to his action
sunnlvnr and eauipping our troops This has been a
malignant as Il has been UNJUST 1t has been as FOUL
intent as the ends will be contrary to what they shout
except the people arrive a; proper
On this point, we will merely soy that If al
tho Republicans who have made an Onslaught
on Gov. DESNIsos and his Administration ar
"bastards," the legitimates of the Republican
family are few and far between,
The Telegraph, however it might denounc
the "bsstard Republicans" for their cours
towards Gov. DENSIsoS, makes but poor de-
fense Of his conduct. II says:
"We can see where the Governors action should hay
been dnerent but whether in his position In the pegn
ing we could have shaped his conduct better, Is cues
i tion wo shall not undertake TO determi1e. Inas on
troops have been treated most shabbiy In some
an that the State, In The contrasts for ieenng AM
clothing them, has been plundered win an unsPan'
hand 10 without doubt true-but In all 9is We oaun
chsrse Gov. Dennison with dishonesty and WIN comm
Il
Now, this Is just what the Democrats and
obastard Republicans" as the Telegraph calls
them, have charged. "Tbat our troops have
been treated most shabbily," ""and that the State
in the contracts for feeding and clothing them
has been plundered With an unsparing hand, II
no doubt true" and this is why they have de-
nounced Gov. DENNisoN, and those. who have
been appointed by him. We have not charged
Gov. DEssrsos with dishonesty or connivanct
| in the matter" Wedo not believe Gov DEN
NrsoN dishonest man, nor do we know that hs
had any interest in the contracts by which "tne
State has been plundered with an unspsrinl
hand" But we do know, that special pets ant
prominent Republicans in this city, have obtain
ed contracts, signed, some by his own hand, ant
others he must have known Of, which have
amounted to nothing more or less than inde-
fensible outrages upon the people Of the State
The first clothing contracts let by the Governor
in this city to men here, and in Cleveland, Gin
cinnah and Dayton, at sixteen dollars per suit
were outrageous. There are others of like
character, of inexcusable favoritism to say the
least of them.
From ell these things, admitted by the Itie
graph, We must conclude, that the least that
can be said ofthe Governor is-that he Is totally
incompetent for such crisis.
The Telegraph, however, on the whole, thinks
Il better to let Gov. DEENsoN retire on the war
D.
laureIs he has already won, without incumber-
ing his brow with any more; and proposes the
names of sundry "irrepressibles" from "North'
ern" Ohio, which, il claims, is entitled to the
next Governor. The names suggested are Sen
ator-or now General-Cox. Of Summit; Sena-
tor MoNRoE, of oberlin; or Gen. ASHLEY, {! !!
of Lucas; Gen. CRowELL, of Cleveland, ant
one or two others of the same stripe. Their,
would be no objection to either Of the gentle
men named, 90 far as his abolitionism is con
cerned. On that point they are all undoubted
Mr.. GIDDMos will indorse either OF them a
perfectly "sound on the goose" -
The Telegraph Says hurrah for the Unio
is not sufficient" That is precisely our opir
ion. We want no such Abolitionists as th
Telegraph names-because they now are hypt
critically "hurrahing" for the Union. W
want q tried, constitutional Union man, an
such an one is not to be found in the irrepresai
i ble lst.
