In about four months from now the
Republicans Of this State will meet
in convention, by their delegates, and
designate the candidates they intend
to elect for the next State officers. 1t
is quite apparent that many changes
will be made in the ticket from what
it was two years ago. Gen. Thes- ).
Allen, will be candidate for re cleo
ton to the Office of Secretary of State,
and as he will4be backed by every SOL
der in the State, his nomination may
be regarded as foregone conclusion.
Gov. Fairchild would probably be
re.nominated for his present position,
were he to 90 into contest for it;
but. in, his published, letter he declines
to do any such thing, and several gen.
tleman are preparing to step into his
gubernatorial shoes. ,oAmong the gen
tlemen who will be prominent candi-
dates is Hon. VIM. e. Smith, present
State Treasurer whether successful or
not, his candidacy for the office OF
Governor will preclude his nomination
for his present position, so new man
has to be looked up for that place.
Among the gentlemen who will be
urged for the place is Mr.. LII. Breese,
Of this county. Mr.. B. has filled the
position of treasurer Of Columbia
county for six years, and is at present
one Of our most successful merchants
During his official career he gave the
most unbounded satisfaction to the
people, and displayed, in such an emf
nent degree, all the qualifications OF
financial ability, honesty, and integrity
together with his personal worth as
citizen. that his friends naturally
thought of him as most proper man
to present to the people to fill the Of
fee of State Treasurer, knowing that
he would fully sustain, in that position,
the high reputation gained by his pre-
decessors, Hon. S. d. Hastings and
Hon. VIM. L. Smith. We have every
reason to believe that Mr. Breese will
receive a united and earnest support
of the delegation from this county to
the convention, for it would be all but
impossible to pick delegation who
would not strongly second the effort to
place him in nomination. MIR. Breese
is a Welshman, and is the undoubted
choice of his countrymen in this State
for State Office, when the time shall
have come to give them representa-
ton on the ticket. In times past we
have consulted the wishes of the Ger
/ mans, Hollanders, Norwegians, &c, in
the composition of our State ticket,
with manifest advantage, but have new
or thus complimented our Welsh citl-
zens. Now, that they present a candi:-
date with perfect unanimity, and OF
whose qualifications there is no doubt
whatever, let us give their claims a
candid consideration. Independent of
nationality, there is no more suitable
man in the State, for treasurer, than
Mr.. Breese. Let the Republicans of
the State do themselves the credit to
elect him. .ai4 rb.f
+ We copy the above from the State
Register for three reasons LIST, be-
cause we believe it sound; I'd, because
of its compliment to our old neighbor
and friend Thos. S. Allen, who will re-
aceive the hearty support Of Republi-
cans in this section; and, Sd, because
we know Mr.. Breese to be all that is
claimed for him. Our numerous
Welsh readers will no doubt be pleas
ed to know that they have so capable
"a candidate, and that his chance for
the nomination for State Treasurer is
