IL is with much embarrassment that pro-
eeed 70 announce myself as n candidate for
the ONCE Of Governor in the election which,
under the direction OF the President OF the
united states, y shortly 20 occur. The ofhcc

will have 20 be performed hy him who may De-
honorcd with majority OF your votes are nf
a most ard9ous aud important character.
have resided almost from the days III infancy.
upon the soil Of this noble State. ana botb nv
interests and affections are closely intertwfued
with all that pertains 60 her honor aud her
prosperity. AZ no period Of my career. have
/ been known as an extreme or mali gnant par-
tisan. ] can assert, with truth, that 4 have
always loved my country ana ne repoae and
happiness, with a devotion never surpassed.
and that have never, either in peace 0r boz
war, allowed my feelings, az political parti-
san, 90 withdraw me from the duties Of patri-
otism, or cause rue 20 be unkind towards mcri-
t0rious men differing from me in opinion 0r
sentiment. It's due To you, though 20 state,
that in the two memorable struggles which
have occurred In the last twenty years, which
involved the fate Of the Federal Union, have
ever been true 10 the flag ot our Fathers and
have never, for moment either directly pr
indirectly, upheld or countenhnccd either Ant-
ifeGnoH or Secessi0H. When che recent lnmcn-
table struggle Of arms occurred, my heart hItd
over the scenes Of fierce aud bloody conflict
through which i was our fate to pass, ln eon-
sequence Of understanding among broth
rem and frllow-citEcnn, upon questions thc
arising Of which, at soNE period Of QUA hlrto-

and true brotherhood, should Doe restored

less put ia danger aud impaired iu be- health.
hl vigor by long continued war, should bc "a
soon Rs possible restored in all its plrnitudc

continued TO live for year or two longer,
am confident that, with the friendly and COO
operative aid Of Congress, whose dcliberhiionH
would then have been calm and unchclttdi the
cruel wounds which had been inflicted by yio-
lence upon the body polite, would long since
have been healed, aud the Republic have been
