4 Cure for HydrophoJiu.-A cores
pondent, impelled by the narration in

for three days, then intermit three days

In support of the efficacy of this
treatment it is stated that thirty years

- ---e-..'-..---.--- -.'.-----
IT will soon devolve upon the
people Of this great Commonwealth
to select a chief Magistrate. In
looking about us, there is no lack Of
aspirants to gubernatorial honors ;
but in making selection, it would
be well TO consider first, some OF the
necessitics Of the hour, and select q
person eminently ft to grapplo with
the abstruse questions OF political
economy, which are, and will be agi-
tating the public mind for timo.
The contest between labor aud
capital, the utter prostration Of do
mestic commerce, tho relaxation OF
business enterprise, the cessation Of
internal improvements and the reck
less use and abuse of corporate priv
ilcges, are some Of the questions,
with which the next governor will
have to deal.
Ho should, therefore. be man Of
large experience, with full knowledge
OF the wants and necessities Of a
large and mixed population.
Hon. John b Packer of Sunbury,
possesses the essentials requisite.
lie is O gentleman of broad views,
extensive experience both in public
and private life, independent in for
tune, and well qualified both by edu
cation and experience to perform the
duties incident to the Office.
His extensive connection with the
business interests of the state. has
given him q practical knowledge Of
finance, the relative positions of Ia =
Dor and capital, aud their mutual
dependence upod each other and the
equities that should be maintained
between them.
Tho reins Of government in his
hands the sacred rights of both labor
and capital would be preserved,
Unconstitutional and obnoxious laws
would have no counteuance.
Mr.. Packer served eight years in
congress with honor to himself anil
great credit to his constituents.
During the long term he occupied
many positions on comm ittees, that
required skill, hard labor, extensive
research and integrity Of purpose
his duties wore always performed
promptly, earnestly and with n view
to the best interests OF the people
The records Of his public life show
him to be skillful in analysis, with
power to discern with precision the
central idea upon which a question
turns his judgment is good, and
his purposes fixed.
He is never carried away by en-
thusiastic zeal, never ihdulgcs in ex-
travagant language, never allows
himself to be controlled by sudden
impulses. He is unassuming aud
not ostentatious in fact we know OF
none, who is better fitted to be gov
ernor OF this commonwealth or who
from longer and better service in
the interests of tho people is more
deserving of this high honor.
