Our State Politics.
Several State papers have spoken out boldly
and fully in respect to the approaching cleo.
ton, and the campaign may be said to have
fairly opened While some Of our tender.
tooi contemporaries think this little prema.
turo aud ill-advised, we can see no reason for
such a conclusion. Any time is good time
to discuss a matter Of so great importance,
affecting every section aud all our people
alike And the very fact that the canvass is
begun early is an evidence Of good faith, if
not of sound judgment, for it affords ample
opportunity for the fullest discussion and
ought to secure a wise decision.
The Burlington Free Press leads of with
an expression of approval of the general
policy Of the two.term principle under the
biennial system, but thinks it will be necessary
to make an exception in the case Of Governor
Stewart, who will be demanded to represent
the western district in Congress dccming it
morally certain that we are to have but two
districts, with the division upon the noun.
tain. Unless he permits the use of his
name, a serious, perhaps embittered, quarrel
is inevitable. His name will unite the Re.
publicans Of every county, and he would be
nominated and elected with no opposition in
the party" Aud even should we retain our
three members, the Free Press adds " 1t
looks to us as if the demand that Mr.. Stewart
should stand for Congress would be little less
imperative"
The Mi1debury Register speaks substau.
TALLY in the same strain, and after alluding
to the eminent abilities Of Governor Stewart,
and Of the right Of the people to command
his services in any capacity, concludes as fol.
lows
" If the people desire Governor Stewards ser
vices as Chief Executive of the State another
term, let them call him 10 1t. and we may rest
assured he will not refuse to obey the voice Of the
people But if, on the other hand. they feel that
his services would be more valuable in the Ma
ional Congress, let them assert their right to call
him to that position
