though at heart Slavery Restriotionist To-Day
will tell tho people on the stump that the he'
publicans culpably involved tho country IN
Civil War by not deserving their cardinal pm
cple as readily as he did.
Marshall b. Champlin, who Is nominated LOT
Attorney General, cut very sorry inquire III INC
Legislature. where no figured as very small
lawyer and bitter, scurvy partisan. If no has
the qualities that beft an Attorney-Gcneral OF
our State. he has yet to make them known.
Van r. Richmond has been State Engineer
already, and proved faithful and good officer
We believe Mr.. Taylor in every respect as good
as he, and in some respects better; but this shall
not preclude our doing justice to Mr.. Richmond.
We believe the first dollar was never obtained
unjustly from the State with his connivance;
and we are confident that if he should ever be
reelected, the States interests would be per-
fectly safe in his hands.
William b. Lewis is our present Treasurer
always professcdly q Wing or Know-Nothing,
till he joined the Republicans five or six years
ago. As Republican, he was placed on the
Union State Ticket two years since, and tri-
umphantly elected. He began to develop his
innate csookedness in the Summer of G2,
proved faihless to those who elected him in the
Canal Board last Winter, and has gone from
bad to worse until he has landed where we now
find him. We are glad that his new friends
have so promptly rewarded his glazing iniidelisy
to his old ones-but We make prediction that
we desire to have rcmcmbered: they wiH nerer
run him for an important office again. We believe
the Union party of his county (Kings) is con-
siderably stronger with his name on the adver-
sary's ticket than if it were on ours.
William W. Wright, tho retiring and expect
ant Canal Commissioner, is fair TO middling
oificer-actiye, alert, and wide awake. Better
and worse men have held the post, and will
hold it hereafter. Mr.. Wright was fairly enti-
tied to bis pariy's nomination and will not dis
credit his supporters.
OF David Il. Mcneil, the candidate for In
spec,or Of state Prisons, we know scarcely any
thing. We do know, however, that he ought
not to supplant DR.. Bates, who Is one OF the
very hes, Prison Inspectors our State ever
elected.
In conclusion, We tender the Democratic
State Convention our hearty thanks for their
con,emptuous treatment Of jim Brooks 4 Co. S

Union party, consisting OF fifteen to twenty OIL
GERS and three or four priyatcs. That concern
is thoroughly bogus--a barefaced imposiuFe
