these amendments, appointments
will have to be made for the whole
State.

and reputable men be named, for in
their hands rests the fair name of
our elections, and they must be men
of such character, as they have been

GOVERNOR Brown is in no wise
troubled at the cutlery, coming from
politicians in the counties, over his
veto of the Assessment bill. The
Governor knows that most Of the
hostile criticism comes from those
who expected to mold office under
the bill, should it have been approx
cd, and that the people, when the
matter is fully understood, will APP
prove his course. 1t ia good thing
for the State to have a Governor
who has backb enough to stand
up firmly against the demands of
the politicians, who are raising this
hue and cry for their own selfish
purposes. Baltic. Neos.
So it was against the demands of
the politicians who raised all this hue
and cry for their own selfish purpo-

demands of the bloated bond hold

ported. Well, the politicians Shout
ders are broad, aud they are abe to
