other Journals, that john j JACOBS
ESQ, of Hampshire county, will be the
next Governor of this State, and that
his associates on the Conservative
ticket just nominated by the assembled
Democracy of the State at Charleston
namely c. p. T. MOORE of Mason, f
A. BENNETT of Marion, JONI $. Bur
DETT of Kanawha, JOSEPH SPRIGG o.
Hardy, and JOHN NJ. PHELPS Of Mason
will bear off in triumph the honorS
assigned them on the State ticket
which We fly at our masthead this
morning. The leading contest for the
position of Governor was between the
friends of Mr.. CAMDEN and Mr.. DAVIS
and either of these gentlemen, if noni,
mated, would have received a deserved
honor, and have been an able and popu'
lar candidate to bear the flag of pOpu
lar reform in this contest; but we have
reason to know that all of the delegates
went TO the Convention with the patri.
otto determination to bury all personal
preferences and harmonic all ditieren,
ces, and to unite upon that ticket which
would most probably command the sup,
port ofthe greatest number ofthe popular
vote. The selections they have made on
a full view of the whole field are, in our
humble Judgment, the best that could
have been made; and in no spirit Of
Boosting, we utter the confident belief
that their election is a certainty ii the
Democratic and Conservative elements
of the State are marshalled in full and
united array in the battle that is now
before us. Mr.. JACOBS was once mem
Der of our Legislature, and is gentle
man of fine legal attachments and o
great purity of character He is uni
versally popular with all who know
him, because while entirely correct and
decided in his views, he is
nevertheless just and liberal in
maintaining them. Mr.. MOORE for the
Supreme Judgeshlp was candidate for
Congress in the Third District against
WITcHER, and is gentleman of very
fine talents and legal attainments. Mr..
BENNETT, Mr.. BURDETr and Mr. SrRIGG
are also gentlemen of untarnished
character and high attainments. Mr.
PHELPS is well known as a liberal Re
publican, who favors the general policy
of the Democratic party in this State,
and is anxious to relieve the people
from the political thraldom which un,
just and offensive laws impose upon
them. He is q gentleman of decided
talents and very fine speaker.
Such in brief is the ticket which oul
Convention at Charleston has given IL:
for our support and suffrage. 1t is 8
new and fresh ticket-full of the prime
and vigor and talent, and spotless char
acter that the times require to purge
our Government from the corruptions
that have almost Slapped its foundations
and tottered it into ruins. The Young
men of our State, and the middle aged
and old men who are liberal in their
views, and just in their dealings with
Their fellow men, cannot fail to hail the
nomination Of this ticket as brilliant
omen OF a prosperous future, and to
rally to Its support with zeal that will
ensure its success in October. To the
extreme Radicals-to the bitter enders
to those who want to retain power
by oppressive constitutions and odions
registration laws-upon all of this class
OF bitter partisans the nomination Of
this ticket will fall like clap of thun
der from a clear sky. "Who is IA

IKE EXCAVATIONS when Polk and

the day of election from the granite
hills Of New Hampshire to the Green

people of this State intend to answer

of a Republican newspaper, writes its
epitaph as follows:
