The state Convention.

This Convention met in the House of Re-
prestntntivcs cn Tuesday last, and organ
izcd ten ro,a,ily ly clccting Wilder Chair
man. A Committ, on Credentials was ap-
pointed which, up to this writing, has
failed TO make report. The proceedings
are given in full in another column. From
what We can glcan fl ON the intelligence be-
fore us, Mr.. Chamberlain will receive the
nomination for Governor. There is n
disposition However on the part Of n ''lu'c
or ruin" faction in the Convention, to
spring third man at the last mcmc mt.
Judges Cooke and Green are spoken of, but
with little chance Of success. OF the two
men, we should prefer the former. Moses,
in tho meantime, is straining every point 10
gain the nomination. lie keeps open house
and shakes hands with every visitor, no
matter how uninhuential, with the suavity
and grace Of nm honest man. lie contcm-
plates the idea Of rc;igning the subcrna to-
rial Chair with feeling akin to horror, and
will make his best fight to whip out his op-
ponents. His supporters are the ragamuf-
fned-pnrt of tho Convention. Chamberlain
has ut lis back the best clements in the Re-
publican party in tho State, and it will be n
seven dnys wonder if Moses, with his cor
rupt record, should chance 10 come out win
ner. Certain it is that if he is elected
again to rule the people of this State, there
will not be much left of the party in 1876.
Chamberlain and the perpetuation of Re-
publican principles, the Inauguration of au
honest and economical government, a pa
ticnt hearing to the grievances Of tas-pay
.lcrs, or Moses, with kls corrupt anpoinlsgse
high taxation, partizan Legislation and a
misrepresentation of public funds, are the
alternatives left to us.
