the Democratic nomination for Governor of New-fork
The UHcI Observer speaks oi lis abilities in the

! OF Democracy there Is worthier than he" IL
adds II he were Chief Magistrate of our State his
high example would 30 purify the political atmosphere
that no rings could exist II he had lived in the better
days OF the Republic he would have held rank among
the foremost leaders Of tho people. Living In these evil
times 1t seems 10 us that II he he so minded he can ee-
the standard of puDc morals and lrt the Empire
State to higher plane OF PATRIOTISM tAan IL has occu-
pied for many long year.
Gen. Batcheller of Saratoga is coming into
prominence the Republican candidate for Leutenant
Governor The Troy Times thus expresses Its
of the proposition: " DIX and Bacheller-the model
Governor ana the model premier OF the last Assembly
Such combination would rally standard thou
sands OF votes which might not be otherwise cast for
the Republican ticket Gen. BItcheler saved tho state
thousands Of dollars last Winter. Every time corrup
posed 10 the Assembly he fousAt with the full force
of clear Intellect and the might OF an honest heart
Rascay stood dsmaysd IN 91 h" cnat ISen m

| 1t is the opinion of The Sacramento Union
that the position which Gov. Booth OF California occu-
pies the party which the popular will Is forming
against the is strikngly like that which
Lincoln held in 1867 with this difference In favor OF
Booth that there is Seward Chase to contest with
HIM the leadership. Concering Booths prospects. The
Union says: 'If there is any better than him TO
stand front Of the popular National party OF the
United States much the better for the country and
the party We say there not We only that
| we have not heard him named and that whoever
speaks coutemptuousy OF his chances for the next Pres
iency ignorant Of his ujeef, and bind To existing
conditions which unprejudiced eyes might see without
much dlfneulty"
Colorado politics are q good deal mixed.
While the Republican party was badly split by Presi-
dent Grants appointment Of Gov. McCook, the Demo
crate better of since IT members OF their party
voted for McCooks confirmation. The Denrer Ners,
formerly good Administration organ, thus states d
possible solution OF the mudie The nomination was
Infamous; the confirmation 1t now begins
TO look as II the Republican party OF the Territory
would decline to recognize tho leaders designated by
the President and By their convention would pitch

The National True american, published by
Samuel Lowery at Nashville Tenn, is new paper de-
voted the interests of the colored people, and
especially the principles OF the Civil Rights bill. In
n recent number IL makes the following emphatic
declaration OF policy: I'VE will urge upon the Repubi-
can party It's mission civil enfranchsemen after
our emancipation, II 1t fails in that, deserts u.s. 1t will
become useless the old Bourbon Democracy. The
schools OF many Of the Northern States open equally
TO coored chdrenthose OF Massachusetts,, OF Chicago,
Cleveland and many places in all the North. The
schools places OF learning and belong 10 the entire
public much as the Courthouse the ballotbox, &c.
and every coored citizen has the public right TO be ad
mtted 1t imparally Let those who oppose the lib
erty OF separate schools for themselves
and support them. We deny their right to make the
State support their unjust and wicked prejudces. The
school is not the place for sociay prejudice It is
for public instruction, to qualify the pupil for the high
responsibilities Of citizenship II the inydious pro-
scriptoD is allowed and continued the OF religion
have the right to public aotments Of the school fund
carry their opinions and the State instead OF uniting,
will sever the interest OF the community into thousand
different tendencies. After these public We
then will the coored citizens TO qualify them
selves DO the equal OF every other class OF citizens
In all ask is To qualify " be the equal Of every
other class"
