+, Judging from the animated r,anncr in
which, our informant spoke of the speech
Of Col. Miller and the hearty demonstra-
'tions Of the people during its delivery, VIC
should say that tho Ccl,nel must have
struck a. cho,d in the hearts Of the people
there assembled that responded in loud
cheers to the lofty impulses Of his own
brave and patriotic BOSOM
':dWc have no doubt that Col. Miller is
man, every inch of him. He is respected
by, the people and: loved BY the, soldiers
And We thus far in advance sui NIT his name
to the Republican Union Convention, to
lie held on the 10Th Of August, as 1 suit
able nominee for the responsible and hon
orable position Of Governor of this State
+ We are aware that in doing this We
may tra,nplc upon the toes Of some politi-
cal huckstcr, who IS seeking after position
to satisfy personal appetite, but that VIC
cannot help. Our only desire is to sec
ssthe right man in the right place." And
We believe that Gel. Miller is tic man -
We feel sure ttat,kt pre-: eniincntly rises
above personal intrigue aud partisan mean
ness. G Such, is the man the times demand.
