The NEXT GOVERNOR nomination
OF candidates for Governor of this State, is
already claiming the attention of leading
politicians OF each party. A number Of Re-
pubicans Of this County, will present the
name oil Lewis Thompson, Esq, one of our
most popular and intelligent citizens, who
has served several terms in the Legislature
and invariably discharged the duties apper4
tanning to that position in very creditable
manner, John +. Williamson, ESQ, Of
Newark, has also been named in connection
with the Office, and We may say that few men
in our County, would make better poll or
prove more unexceptionable Executive
than he
DIR, Jump ofDover, has also many friends
IN our County, and should the Republicans
OF Kent pre- sent anything like united
front in the Convention, he will very likely
be nominated. The strongest objection
against him will be the taking of the Con.
gresham from the same County, as we look
upon the l9-nomination Of Colonel Lohand
rs ioreeone conclusion. Custom and cour>
tesy both require it, and the party could not
afford to make the experiment of a change
at the present time.
Who shall be U. S. Senator must remain
an open question. 1t is first necessary to
elect majority Of Republicans to the Leg,
stature to carry the State, and then we may
lind some gentleman willing to serve in that
capacity. live cannot agree upon Hon. N.
7. Smithers, Hon. G. B. Rodney. S. NJ
Harrington, Esq, W. C. Spruance, Esq, OIL
Colenel II. s. McComb, we may unite o,
some gentleman out side of the legal profes
SION, such as Messrs. Head. Williamson Oh
Thompson, or upon Hon. g, p. Fisher, any
oil whom would be preferable to Democrat
In addition to the above we have hear,
suggested the name of Chief Justice Gilpin
whose election to the U. 5. Senate would b,
fitting crown TO a long and honored term O
public service In that event Mr.. Smither
would make an admirable successor on III,
Bench. Let us however carry the Legisla
ture. and then We can talk about the Sena.

JUSTICE. = y oud ii not be well for the Com
mercial to procure the facts In relation TO the
removal of Prof. Porter from the offics of PEN
sion Agent, before making charges Of unfairness
against yone? The indiscreetnsss of those who
persist IN saddling the responsibility Of the
removal upon Colonel Lofiand is greatly
to he regretted, as he had no more to
do with it than the editor of the Commercial.
The truth is, adherence to the rule laid down
by the Commissioner of Pensions, led to the
change, and Colonel Lofand knew nothing of
the matter until called upon to name a person
10 fill the position. Prof. Porter should there
fore exoneraie him from all blame in the pre-
misses, and all attacks upon him should cease.

We can see no good reason why the Daily
Commercial shonld take such lively interest
IN the matter with which we choose to fill our
editorial column. We have none other than
kindly feelings towards our neighbor. The
REPUBLICAN has always been regarded as the
most conservative paper of our party, and by
advocatnga liberal policy In legislation, for
bearance, patience, aud Cancellation among
ourselves, has retained its hold upon the PEG
pie, and is Il welcome visitor at hundreds Of
iiresi'les in town and couu.ry-we hope to
coniihne this policy. While the writers for
our paper may be unknown to others, they are
well known to us as tue and loyal Republl
cans, seeking the good Of the party. We do
not desire to interfere with the management of
The Commenced, have never presumed to ofier

neghbor is disposed 10 he friendly as it profes.
SEES, We shall be well content TO remain in this
peaceful state, happy in having its friendship
We must however continue to be the Judge OF
matters affecting the management of our paper
and while we would not SOW dssension and
strife, we will open our columns for the discus.
sion of matters affecting the interests of the
party to which we belong. If the truth be
spoken al all times, and it should happen tc

it, and govern himself accordingly.

many of these could not have kept up
such style If they had not been ministers.
