HON. p. C EASTMAN.

Bv the subloined letter from Bar
bour County, to the Charleston Co'n'
ie,. It will be seen that the Hon. /.
C. Eastman has been proposed as a
candidate for Governor. The name
of Hon. H. NJ. Mathews Of Green
hrier County, has been mentioned for
the same Office, but in view of the
fact. that Mr.. Mathews is now Atior-
new General, and that the eastern
counties of this District, viz. Green
brier and Monroe, have been honored
in giving to the State the Attorney
General. a member OF Congress, and
4 l.. :. Senator now in office, We
think that the Western end Is ent'>
tied 70 some consideration. We cor
daily endorse the ticket proposed by
Barbour County, as far as we are
scouainted with the gentlemannameL
ard while there are many gentlemen
in the District who would do honor
10 the Office OF the Chief Executive
of the State, we 10 not believe there
is one who uniting so many other de
,irable qualifications, could secure
such Z united and cordial support
from his own District, as Mr.. East
ham. We are well aware that he Is
not seeking the office; on the contra
nv we know that he has announced
his intention to some at least OF his
friends Of not being candidate for
reelection to office, but we believe
he could oe induced to forego b 3
personal incliuatious, if thereby ne
could serve his party and the state.
Mr.. Eastman is not politician,
hut a farmer. who living On a finely
cultivated plantation, has nothing 20
cqin bv giving mp his peaceful lie
for the boi>terous arena of politics,
but his qualifications emiuently fit
him for office, and he woulddou
listen to the voice OF duty in the mat
tC-.
The nominee for Auditor, Jo.. $.
Miller Esq, Of Ca5cn County is also.
set only well fitted for the posi-
ton. but is one, who though bat q
vomg man, is known to gentlemen
from oil parts Of the State, and has q
spotlrss record az the most efficient
clerk that has ever served the State
Senate he would be a~ likely To- unite
the party in his nomination, as a",
other man that could be proposed.
