The nomination OF Justice WOODWARD for
the chief magisiracy of the State, was a
fortunate circumstance for the reputation oil
Pennsylvania With a reputation above
suspicion, and ability beyond question, he
stands The very embodiment of The integ-
rity and genius of our Democratic system
! With such candidate al such a time, we
look upon defeat as being impossible AL
snch time wien corruption stalks with
| front even in our Safe as well as our Ma
iions! Capiio', we want such a man fer
| Governor as Justice WOODWARD. With him
at The head OF affairs, the people might resi-
secure, not only in relation 10 his owu in
tegriiy, but they might also calculate upon
having The dark deeds of others either ex-
posed or punished. In times like these.
We should have a man to govern US who's G
| reputation for integrity at least is not open

nate stands defiant.

WOODWARD. the opposition to his election
have moi venIured 10 assai it in this they
have shown some tact, because OF the terri
bic ordeal To which assault upon ours
would subject their own candidate. In the

sonaI character of Judge WOODWARD, some

2erate in their efforts 10 damage his poiti
cal reputation. These efforts are as silly,
and must only tend 10 swell his majority.

The Abolition press serves up TO them
They feel and see that ther liberties are
threatened by the ehcroachments of those

Of giving liberty to another and inferior
