EXCESSIVE MoDEsTY.

The remarkable virtue which has suddenly
overtakcn a set of old political hacks, and
some of the newspaper press Of the Valley, in
connection with candidates for the Legisla-
ture, is really amusing They assume that
because man has the candor and the indie.
pendence to announce himself candidate for
the Legislature, that it is prinaa facie evil
dence he is not the person who ought to be
elected; and that those who withhold their
names from the announcement columns of a
paper, are the pure patriots, the disinterested
Statesmen, who should be called from their
retirement to lift the burdens from the bend
ing backs of the people, Why there is not
one of this class OF men, who is not fairly be-
ing consumed by a burning desire to 60 to
the Legislature. 1t is their daily and
nightly dream, and it is only the conscious
ness that the people don't want them, that
breeds this excessive modesty. We under
stand, perfectly, this mode of electloneering,
aud we are not ignorant Of the motive and
purpose which are at the bottom Of it. We
have been in political campaigns before, and
have been witness to the same game in other
days. 1t seldom wins, however If there is
enc characteristic more prominent with the
people than another, it is admiration for can

insiEuations which have been flooded upon
the people of Augusta. They have aroused
an indignant disgust for penuy-a-liners who
seek to reach direction by indirection, auc
thereby avoid manly assault. and the COZ.
sequences that might follow. The people
know their own business, and do not INTEND
to be led like sheep to the slaughter, gyvee
