correspondent in this paper over the signature of "UPPER MoRGvN," in advo- caing lhe claims of Judge Lane 10 the Gubernatoral chair of this State, expresses the opinion that he is the strongest man that can be run in opposition to Gov Mar. tin. In this conclus.on We believe our cor. respondent to be greatly in error. It is true, was the contest narrowed down between those gentlemen alone, the writer's conclu sion as to the result might. and probably would bo correct. But Judge Lane, in our opinion, is nut the man on whom lhe Dem ocralic party will or can unite. We disclaim any intention 10 disparage his claims, or ,he claims of other distinguished citizens whose names may have been mentioned in conncxon with the office of Governer.- But there Is one in our estimation, who possesses the confidence of the ,chole State, and on whom the party woul dmore cordially unite than on any other-we alude 10 the Hon. D. Coleman. He was the irst choice al the election in lS45. We advocated his claims until the nomination was conferred upon Col. Terry; when we laid aside our preference and sustained the nominee To the best of our ability. It would be oui of place at this lime 10 enumerate the infu- enccs that were brorghi 10 bear against Col Terry, which contributed to his defeat thereby producing division in our ranks and exciting much feeling among those who had unfortunately acted in harmony and concert. Col Ferry was certainly badly used by portion of his political friends, and no one regretted it more than himself. We presume, however, it would hardly be attempted under the present state of public feeling, 10 nominate through a convention and hence the necessity, when tho proper lime arrives, To unite by com. mon consent tiff, be possible 10 do so) on some strong man of sound democratic principles. In Judge Coleman We believe we find such a man i; he possesses the con fdence of the people, and substantial popularity even to the m >si remote limits ol the State-a popularity that would seem to insure success should he be selected, and sustain him in carrying out such measures as cannot be longer postponed, if we protect lhe faith and honor of the Slale. But. as we stated in a previous number. il is too soon 10 agitate this question-thc election Nill not take place 'til August lS47-nor should we now have advertised to il, but for the appearance of the article referred 10.
