Woodward, and, as it is very important that
tho Democracy should present candidates who
would not require to be defended during tho
canvass, itwould perhaps upon tho whole not
be prudent to select Mr.. Woodward.
The other gentleman whose namo has been
mentioned from this State is Governor Packer.
We incline to the opinion that tho nomina.
ton of this gentleman as second on tho tick
ct would greatly strengthen and increase tho
Democratic vote in his State, aud make it
almost absolutely certain for tho Democrats.
Governor Packer is q strong man beyond the
limit of his own State, and would especially
give weight to the ticket in tho States immc-
diatcly joining Pennsylvania.
If VIC then would mako assurance doubly
sure, let the NoY York Convention select
the ticket from Ohio and Pennsylvania
Give us Pendcton and Packer and Rad
icalism will be routed horse, foot and drag

ination of Gov. Packer, We yield our personal
preference for Mr.. Adams for tho sake Of
what we conceive the best interests of the

1skis conceded by both parties that the
States of Ohio and Pennsylvania will be the
q fbattle ground in the approaching clcc-
tionS The candidate who. is able to carry
thosstWo States will be pretty sure of an
clccSpn. Tho elections in both last fall gave
strc9s indication Of their going Democratic
in ,.os,ssesideatial cul,yoss Tho Radicals
fea!S result, aud lonce will mako desper-
ate ssorts to regain their lost prestige in
both;
Inthis view, it becomes ,rottc~of some
moment to the Tsoorcy 'ys's.ir in Selecting
thcir candidates an eye should be directed to
tocal influences in these States We believe
that to mako tho success Of the party perfect
~ surc, one Of the candidates to bo non,ina.
ted in New York should be taken FROM pcnu
sylvania.
Ii Hancock receives tho nomination fer
President then some strong man in the West,
say Hendricks or Doolittlc, should be run on
tho ticket with him.
If the candidate for President should be
selected from some other State, and VIC be.
icrc he will, then our true policy indicates
thc sclcction Of tho Vice President from the
Keystone State.
y examining the field there, We find the
names of two gentlemen suggested, either of
whom would be quite acceptable to tho poo
pie Of the whole ountry. Judge Woodward
is afhorough, staunch and pronounced Dem
ocr5t Of tho true State rights school. lie
is popular not only in his own State but
of having sccstred his nomination by the votes
of unrcconstructed rcbcls This would be
urgsd with great force by tho Radicals and
would drive many timid men from the sup
portof our Candidate. Any impatnuon Of
having been chiefly instrumental in securing
the selection Of the candidate which can be
fairly made against tho Southern delegates,
muN to some extent wcakcn tho nominee.
ThssSSEo must avoid. We can avoid it, first,
by tffusing to vote until the Northern ,pclc-
gates have agreed among themselves; and,
secotd BY going in on the first ballot, and
cacI delegate or each State voting for the
manNof its choice, upon equal terms with the
Northern delegates
If VIC wcrc certain that tho excluded States
would be permitted to cast their votes in the
electoral college, VIC should prefer tho luttcr
course. But as there is much uncertainty lip.
Oh this point, VIC arc brought to tho conclusion
that, upon the whole, tho best policy will be
to abstain from taking any part in the contest
more than as mere lookcrson and well wishcrs
