THE Democratic parry has never made a
nomin alton tha: has been welcomed with
more sincere enthusiasm bv the patriotic
masses than that of Judge Woodward. IL is
felt that he is emphatically the man for the
times, possessing as Mr.. Clymer said in his
speech at the Convention, shoulders broad
enough, head stout enough, and brain big
enough" TO meet any emergency. Every
body who is at all acquainted with him
recognizes the ability of his mind and the
purity of his character. With such man
in the Executive chair, the long needed
improvement in the management of State
affairs, that every true citizen has sighed
for, would soon be accomplished, and Penn
