a. ernor of fPennsylvanln. sl /,
The late election has demonstrated the
fact that the Democrats can easily carry
the next gubernatori election of the State
Of Pennsy If prudent In the selection
of the capdidatc This important position
has been filled for many years by men OF
Eastern Pennsylvania, and not by those OF
the highest practical experience, or the
most distinguished ability. The great west
ern border of the State has had no Governor
since the anti-masoHic reign of Joseph Rit-
ner, under the lead of Thaddeus Stevens
and as matter of courtesy might with
great propriety, demand the concession
IRON the EASTERN Shores But within che
last few years Western Pennsylvania has
been eminently the ruling power of the
Estate In, revenue, income, and all that has
contributed to- the actual wealth OF the
people Of that great Commonwealth. ~ ~

to Greene county have opened up an ave-

people OF Western Pennsyl lvania their wofI-

Gen. Geo, w. Cass Is the nephew OF Gen.
Lewis Cass, OF Michigan, and Is IN every
respect his equal. He Is one OF the most
accomplished tinanciers OF the country; and
has had a most extraordinarily successful
career, In connection with the public works
OF Pennsylvania, tursipikes, slaekwater'
navigation and railroads! He was educated
at West Point, and soon after his gradua-z
ti0n engaged as a practical engineer on the
great National Road, between Cumberland
and Wheeling. He was afterward engaged
In laying out the route Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, which he made every effort
TO have located through Western Pennsyl-'
vania, its Legitimate route, and was only de-
feated BY the mistaken views OF fsome,mem-
bers OF the State Legislature, who fought
against 1t to preserve particular local inter-
ests. After his connection ceased with the
National Road, lie projected by his genius,
and did much to accomplish by his perse-i
1verance, the completion OF the slackwater
