~. JOHNSON, Esq.-Your correspondent Kent,
III yesterdays GAZETTE, hit the nail on the head
IN naming James Williams, of Kent county, for
Governor, and Charles b. Lore, OF Wilmington.
lor Representative in Congress, and thereby su
guested possible solution OF our difficulty In
uniting upon q candidate from this county.
1t Is conceded by ell that New Castle county il
entitled to one Of these nominations 1t is rea.
sonaoiy claimed BY none that she Is entitled to
Doth, while we have our faithful and distinguish
ca Senator Thomas +. Bayard for the Senate of
the United States.
Then which shall she choose? Unquestion..
by she would prefer TO have the Governor IL abe
mad a candidate whose mention would be wei.
coined with general and hearty satisfaction by her
people. -
But 1t is undeniabIs that no New Castle county
nominee ior the Governonhip, since the dc clua-
tisn OF Victor Dupont, has yet been mentioned
upon whom all sections OF our county are dis
posed to unite.
With this fact before our eyes, and with tho
VITA question OF "lncrease OF Representations" SO
prominently before our people, can there be one
moments doubt as TO the choice? Is not the
representative in the law making BODY much
more logically aud closely connected with the
principles OF repre-eRtation than the Governor
who has neither voice nor yeto nower i, is,,isI. >
tion.
III SO, then should not New Castle county We as
consistent In the practice rs in the preaching OF
principle and claim the representative instead of
the Governory
onouia sue not do a' your correspondent Kent
70 wisely suggests, and name James Williams, of
hent county, or John w. Hall, or some other
equally suitable Democrat--th re, for Governor
ana Charies b. Lore, or some other proper candi-
daIe from this county, for CongressY
ms course would certainly he very satisfactory
TO the entire State, aud especially SO to this coun
~ and wilmington. Mr.. Williams is closely
Identified with Agricultural New Castle COUNTY
py both kindred ties aud kindred pursuits while
% has deservedly won the cordial regard of viii.
mington by his faithful support In the Legislature
her industrial Interests.
A. man Of the people, Of great personal popu-
larlty, and universally esteemed for his unobtru-
nve merits, his manly independence, his cultiya-
his practical knowledge as a farmer and ieoisis.
tor, Mr.. Williams truly belongs to the whole
ty or faction.
Indeed, no one is mentioned probably, whose
nomination ior the Goveinorship, in either party,
would be accepted with more general fayor by
the Democracy and the entire people of the state
without distinction Of party
His nomination would certainly secure To the
State Governor Of excellent business aualifica-
tons and insure an honest and economical ad-
ministration.
The nomination of Mr. Lore for Congress- ON
tue other hand. in connection with Mr.. VIII
liams, or MIR. Hall, would be evidently %, ,oper
it certainly would prove highly gratifying to
Wlmingtenians; since 1t would be at once ap-
preciated as recognition OF tbs right of her
large population to Just respect and representa-
tion. and also as merited compliment to one
OF her much esteemed citizsus. AS an active
Democrat, and effective speaker, and a practi-
cal lawyer and farmer, hrs nomination would
prove highly satisfactory and popular.
With such men as James Williams of Kent
County aud Charles B. Lore, of New Castle
County, for our standard bearers, and "honesty
and capability" for our motto, should We not be
sure OF vigorous campaign and certain tri-
umph?
AS we have never had fairer opportunity
ior success, 80 We have never had u greater
need OF proper nominations In the bitter ex-
perience Of our last campaign we surely learned
ihe cost OF wrong and the worth Of right NOM
nations. should We not therefore, look before
We leap, and think before we act: And shall
we not then rise superior to both our indlvid-
ual preferences and prejudicss and seeking only
tne real welfare Of our party and State, have a
full and fair discussion or our nominations be-
ore We decide them! DEMOCRAT.
