The return to the old principles of

selection of worthy men to advocate

forth a man Of a better and purer
political school than that to which
many belong. Col. Porter processes
answering loyalty to those princi-
pies which are essential to the right
government Of our country, and the
manly courage with which he has de
tended them emphasizes his WORTH
ness to execute them. Our future
Governor ranks not with the brilliant
Governors we have had, but with
the noble and more solid class, of
which Campbell, Carroll, Cannon and
Sewer are members. He is from the
people, and familiarized with their
wants and necessities. Though he
possesses not the brilliance and ex-
cellency of speech Of the gifted ora
tor, he, nevertheless, is full of un-
fiinching manhood, and the highest
integrity. He came before the peo-
