Lieutenant Governor.


Messrs Editors =
We have Lieutenant Governor TO
elect next October, and considering that
Oliver P Morton, if elected Governor,
may die, or be promoted to higher hon
ors before finishing his term, the Union
Convention of the ODD and 23d of Feb
ruary should nominate no one but
frst-class man for the second place on
the ticket Even if Morton should serve
full term, the Lieutenant Governor
ought to be a man of first-rate ability,
for he has much to do, as President of
the Senate, in shaping legislation but
if he should become Acting Governor;
how important it is that he be a man of
excellent talent and incorruptible integ-
rity, and possessed of q wide knowledge
of public affairs. Suppose a second
rate man had been placed on the ticket
with Governor Lane, instead of o. P.
Morton, our State would not be enjoying
the splendid reputation which now at
taches to her, by reason of the extraor-
binary abilities of her Executive.
Casting my eye over the State, 1 can
think of no man who would " fill the bill >
for the Lieutenant Governorship better
than Colonel Conrad Baker of our city.
He is a man who, if elected, would pre-
side over the Senate with ability and
fairness, and if called to occupy the
gubernatorial chair, would fill it with
credit to himself and honor to the State
Moreover, he has served his country
faithfully in the field for nearly three
years, and has thus won an additional
claim to the regard of his felow-citizens
We ought to remember the soldiers in
making up our ticket, and they ought to
be well represented on it.
l have seen it stated that Colonel Ba-
ker declines a nomination for Supreme
Judge, but do not understand that he
would decline the nomination for Lieu
tenant Governor. If called on by the
Convention, he would certainly not re-
fuse to allow his name to be used in that
connection. Our ticket should have on
it none but the best men, and if we have
such ticket and acork for it, we are
sure to win.
What say the Union men of the First
Dlstrict-shall Conrad Baker be our
choice for Lieutenant Governor i? If
the First District sends up a large dele
CATION, and goes for him, be will be NOM
mated, think, beyond doubt

proudest work among men is the CONVEX
sion of a wicked soul into good soul.
The creative power of God transcends
our conception. The statement in the
Bible, Let there be light" was pro-
nounced by an ancient critic to be one
of the most sublime ever made. Sup
pose one had been with God when, from
nothing, he evoked the creation which we
now see Above, beneath, on every side,
was space, in which brooded rayless dark
ness There was not an atom of matter,
not single simple element, not ray OF
light. 1t was empty space.
When man would build house, how
ever humble it might be, he must gather
his materials from the quarry the clay
bed, the iron-mine and the forest. Man
cannot create. He can only put into
new forms materials ready to MS hands
/ The inventor of some new power or ma
/ chine is not its creator. He, by careful
observation, detects some principle so
obvious that we wonder how it could
have eluded the observation of men So
long.
The man of genius, whom we laud,
uses facts and forces which were about
him, but he cannot create an atom of
dirt, or pin, or drop Of water. When
we thus, by the creative standard, meas
ure man, he sinks into utter nothing
ness.
God gathered US materials from the
hidden stores of other systems, with
which to build this. The poet finely rem
ders this matter:
"Nature, whence sprang thy glorious powers:
My Maker called me, and L came"
How sublime the account "God ere
ated the Heavens and the Earth" lie
there be light. Let there be firma
ment" Let there be light in the fir
, mament Of Heaven" Here was crea
tive power Let there be light, anC
light flashed through the darkness; th'
? sun is placed in the midst of the frma
ment; the earth and the stars, the plan
cts and the animals, all came forth
BLESS the Lord, o my soul, o Lore
: my God thou art very great, thou ar
, clothed with honor and majesty, VIII
r coverest myself with light as with gar
ment; who stretchest out the heaven
: like curtain; who layeth the beams G
r his chambers in the waters; who maket
r the clouds his chariot; who walketh o.
g the wings of the wind; who maketh hi
E angels Spirits his ministers flaming fire
a who laid the foundations of the cart
that it should not be removed forever.

] impotence put forth TO realize, in mate
