The tickets for the several State omces
presented to our friends the people lot

Of capacity and worth. The Dispatch It.
self. generally considered . journal Of re-
markable sagacity and forecast, would be
perplsxed beyond measure which Of them
all to choose, But one thing Is certain
and that Is, that somebody must DO chosen
And though It is matter Of concern nov =.
to select from such multitude, toerI :.
much consolation In the fact that the sp''s
of ffesdom--now 30 thoroughly unused
into our institutions and into our personal
rAv,,.c..-bs, shown itself as clearly in
the unrestrained liberty to all to become
candidates as in that Of all to vote! That
IL Right; and If anybody objects, why let
him not vote.
We do not know how far behind we are
with the nominations, but will endeavor to
recount the names not yet noticed by US.
We observe that the names Of Mr.. ZEPH.
TURNER, Of Rappahannock, and john
GoopE, Of Norfolk, for Lieutenant Cover
nor and. Attorney General, have been
placed in nomination along with Colonel
BALDWIN by some friend of theirs. The
Senator from Norfolk, DR.. ROBINSON, has
also been brought out for Lieutenant Co
vernon on two or more tickets; in one in
stance, on that of Colonel BALDWIN. JAMES
l.. KENPER, the gallant and noble-hearted
Confederate General, Of Madison, is nomi-
mated for Governor. At last the nominees
appear to be crowding our friend Mr..
TUCKER for Attorney General; and with
strong names, too-such as JAMES NELSON,
JOHN GooDE. and r. A. CLAYBRooK. Mr.,
NELSON is one Of the best lawyers in the
State, who has been transplanted in the
prime Of his manhood and intellect from
the green hills of Marion county, where
he found so little sympathy among the
Union party now dominant in that fair land
that it was most agreeable to abandon his
home and come to dwell here in Richmond
where he has found liberal public to ap.
preciate him, and friends to cherish him
for bis personal worth. This en- paSSant, and
in common justice to an able and worthy
gentleman. In JOHN G00DE we have all
Of talent and worth that could be desired
while Colonel CLAYBRooK is a gentleman
entirely fit for the station. 1t is much to
the advantage of Mr.. TUCKER that his dis
tinguished competitors are so evenly ba-
lspced in their claims for they are the
more certain to diUide the strength op-
posed to him. AS he was to have opposi-
ton, it is better to have twenty than one.
In elections, man can whip twenty men
more easily than one. We make this re-
mark in no partisan sense; but because
we encouraged Mr.. TUCKER to believe that
he would have no opposition, and We feel
bound to make it appear that opposition is
better for him than if he had none We
will even 60 further, and, to make our word
good, hazard V on it
If these are not all of the candidates not
heretofore noticed by us, we will devote
another paragraph to them hereafter. As
the election must come on or off-as you
choose-in May, the canvass will soon COM
mence.
p. Safer the above was in type the
following names of very prominent and
very able gentlemen came to hand in our
exchanges. They are nominated for Go
vernon: CHARLES L. MosBY and Judge
WILLIAM DANIEL, of Lynchburg, and
THOMAS J. NICHE, of Staunton.
