Outside Interference.

The people of West Virginia cannot
look with much patience or foTbsarance upon
the attempt Of Baltimore paper to dictate to
them nho shall be tie next Governor Of this
State. We think We are fully competent to
Judge that matter for ourselves and naturally
resent an outside intermcd Hing with our d.
nestle affairs. The Bal.iAore GI.stte has as
sumed 10 inform Us that We onsht act to Sc
lect Mr.. Faulkner as orr Governor, as he is
too far advanced in lfe for the position. This
is rather calculated TO make our people laugh
% the ignorance of the editor, as ew who
Know Mr.. Faulkner ever male that objection
70 bin. The truth IS. Mr. Faulkner is more
active, more energetic, more Industrious than
nine-,eutas Of the men Of the State. The

Faulkuer-hsve Tebukel th;s iod,licate aud
