TIE PRESS AND GOV. JACOB.

1t is rather surprising, but none the less
true, that that Democratic papers of the
State which were loudest in their denun-
Citations Of Gov. Jacob, and the bitterest
in their vilifcation of him during the late
canvass, charging him with all sorts Of
disreputable and villainous bargains with
the Radical party, now turn suddenly
about and claim that, after all, his election
Is but Democratic victory. II would
have comported better with their present
cringing position not tn have shown so
much presumptuous 6erceuess against
him during the canvass. For ourselves,
while we regretted deeply Gov. Jacobs
independent candidacy, We always treat
ed him with courteous fairness, never using
ourselves, or copying from our contSmp0.
raries, any opprobious epithets against
him, nor yet charging him with corrupt
bargaining and intriguing with the Radi-
calls We have ever believed him an hon.
est, high-toned, incorruptible Democrat,
and we have never seen any reason 10
change this opinion. We are satisfied also
that his incoming administration of the
duties Of the gubernatoriAl Office will be
characterized by the same honest devo-
TO the true interests Of the people, as has
been the case during his present incum-
bency.

Mr.. MARTINS nomination was the secret
of the postponement Of q nomination by
the Convention at its meeting on the
Sth OF August. Mr.. FAULKNER's friends
finding he could not be nominated, insist.
ed that to make nomination then would
increase their embarrassments in the
State canvass and endanger CAMDEN and
the Constitution; and that, besides, Au-
gust was not the time TO hold the election.
Mr.. MARTIN knew he was master Of the
situation, but was afraid to take a nomi-
nation then for fear, as matters stood, he
would be beaten by BoTELER, So, while
one was afraid and the other daren't, q
sham declaration about the illegalitY OF
on election in August was passed and the
matter Of nomination deferred to more
convenient season. Possibly Mr.. FAULK.

OUR PARTY MANAGERS. E
We are not the apologists of Gov. Ja
cob for the course be thought proper 10
pursue in the late canvass We thought,
as did many Of his personal friends, that
he should have abided the decision OF the
Parkersburg Convention and awaited the
future for vindication OF his public
character. This, however, Is now a ques.
ton that has passed beyond the pale Of
discussion, but 1t teaches lessonlto the
"would be" party managers. which il
would be well for them TO profit by. Il
should convince them that selfarrogation
does not always carry with it the ability
to perform and that vain egotism brings
Its own modification. The Wheeling
Register with its penny whistles" here
and there throughout the State,
are alone responsible for the dis.
integrauon Of our party strength
in the late election. The editor Of
that paper, backed by the Charleston
Courier and other lesser but equally pre-
tentious organs OF the party, set about
manufacturing public sentiment against
Gov. Jacob, shortly after his inaugura.
ton, and so continued their assaults upon
him until many within the ranks Of the
party began TO look upon him with sus.
piciou, and 10 regard him as political
Judas. The true reason OF these assaults
did not appear on the surface, but it was
well understood by many Of Gov, Jacobs
friends: It was because he would not per.
NIT himself to be used for corrupt pur-
poses, and because he repelled the arro-
CANT dictation Of those who wanted 10
make party ascendancy subservient to
their personal aggrandiZement.
We hope the result Of the election will
teach the Register and its henchmen, that
they cannot set up and pull down at their
pleasure; and that having so utterly and
completely failed in their party manage
ment, they will hereafter content them.
