Gov. BUcKINoHAM.-Th good people of the
 s ate of Connecticut will soon m. ct in Conven. tion to nominate a candidate for Governor. Is | here any tian in the whole community better
 qualified than it's present executive for that high position? We think not. Is any man
 more respected and beloved? We think not.
 Has any other man the practical knowledge
 and experience which the present incumbent
 has We think not. Gov. we are sure does not court continuance of the hard work so long required of him, but he has enlisted for the war, and must not deprive the people of his
 valuable services.-N. r. Independent.
