The Democratic coufeIees of the Con

fairness, Westmoi elaud ought not to ask

four years, aud the candidate should now
come either from Fayette or Greene. 1t is
admitted that the Democrats of Westmore-
land do not seriously claim The nomination.
and as an evidence of that fact one of her
copferees voted for Boyle on the last TWO
ballots that we're taken before the confer

or view, the difference between Charles E..
Boyle aud Morgan r. Wise is as great AZ
tile difference in size between David Davis
OF Illinois, and Alexander H. Stephens. of
Georgia. Boyle is one of the brightest
Democrats in the State, anG as a ready de-
batter has no superior, while Wise, as a
member OF the Legislature, was most
conspicuous failure--a man full of sound
and fury signifying nothing. What the
conference did yesterday we do not know,

THE Texas Democratic State ticket is good
Specimen OF bourbon straight. Every man on
It served IN the Confederate army.
SO says the New York Tribune and it's
Johnstowe ndmesake repeats the parrot
cry. Wen, what of it? When viii Re
publican editors learn to admit what they
know to be a fact, that during the rebel
lion the South wss a unit, and that its ed
ucated class, from which it always selects
its candidates for high public positions,
was solid for secession. The men of the
South were all identified with the army in
some capacity or other, while the negroes
remained on the plantations culIivating
them aud protecting the women and chill
drcn. Who else is there, therefore, in the
South, with rare exceptions, who is fit to
hil State office, except one who "served
in the Confederate army?'' Have any of
these rebels who have been made Cover
nOrs of their States since the overthrow of
carpet-bag rule, dishouorcd their offices by
becoming public thieves and plunderers
of the people? Has WAGE Hampton, or
Nichols, or Drew, OF Colquitt, or Houston,
or Garland, or Vance, or Holiday, all Of
whom are, or have been, Governors of
Southern States, ever shown that they
were not worthy of the high trusts com
mitted to their care? The men of the
South having failed in the armed fight for
secession, are now devoling their best en-
ergies towards rebuilding their States and
restoring their former prosperity, and when
Republican papers sneer at and denounce
them because they "served in the Confed-
crate army" they only display their own
impotent rage, without convincing the
people that ex-rebcls are either unfit or un-
safe TO hold public Office.
