Next President,

Next President.
The Pottsyille Standard, in a long and
ably written leader, urges our honored fell
low-townsman, Ex-Governor Bigler, for the
next Presidency. As we said, some sixteen
years ago, when this same gentleman was
named for Governor of Pennsylvania, "the
public welfare will suffer no detriment by
the consumation of such hope"
After twenty years of public life-during
which time he was an active participant in
all the great events that have marked that
period-he retired to private life without
the shadow Of a stain upon his reputation,
either public or private. Does the history
of our country furnish a parallel Clear
feld (Pd.) Republican.
If the Democracy are to have in the field
a candidate for President next year, and if
that candidate is TO be elected we know of
no man belonging to that party, with sim
liar war record, that we would rather see in
the White House than Ex-Governor William
Big 'er of Pennsylvania, brother to eXGoy-
ernor John Bigler, of California. He has
been a resident of Calforna-seycral of his
children have been and are here, and the in
ference is that as President, he would not
be terribly hostile to the interests of this
coast.-Sacrameato (Chl) Bee.
10 all of which we say, Amen. With John
Bigler in the Senate from California, and
William Bigler in the Presidential Chair, the
interests of the Pacific States and Terrific
RES would not understand their wants. They
are both largely interested in mining on this
coast, and take deep interest in everything
that tends to advance our interests; both are
self-made men, whose sympathies are always
to be found on the side Of the people--whose
hearts beat in unison with the toiling masses
of the people, who were educated in the old
school of statesmen, that regarded Govern
ment officials as the servants of the people
and not their masters. In these respects it
Is true they are little old-foggish, decidedly
behind the are and may now be too old to
learn. In The past, when they filed public
positions, it had not become the fashionable
rule to rob and plumber the national rcve-
nues in the open face of day, with none to
modest or make afraid, and hence unlike the
mongrel Office hoderc of the present reign.
They left the public service comparatively
poor in worldly goods, but rich in all that
ennobles and adorns the honest man, against
whoss fair fame no breath of scandal has
ever whispered an audible accent.-Hum-
bobb (Ner.) Register.
These are very just, wcll-meritcG COM
pliments, bestowed upon two as deserving
gentlemen and sound Democrats, as live
in the land. Biglcr as Senator from
California would be the "right man in
the right place" Although, almost any
one, three removes from q "born natu-
raj, " would be preferable to the "only
sober" The Democracy Of California
need not go begging" for good men tic
send to Washington. But, for President
we say, We prefer another man. Biglel
is good man and true; and Pennsylva
MIA deserves the honor of furnishing oNE
Chief Magistrate. If We remember right
ly, her electoral vote has never been lost
1t has always been given to the success
full candidate for the Presidency. There
is no doubt that VIM. Bigler would MAKE
a first rate President But, what do yor
say, brother Berry, to Geo. II. Pendleton
of Ohio, (there's man for you) for the
first office, and VIM. Bigler for the Sc
cond? We can then carry the Northwes
and enough other electoral votes t,
make sour election sure" Pendletor
and Bigler, Or Bigler and Pendelton-
either way, is the very identical ticke
we want.
FALL RACES The fall races over tn,
