The name of this gentleman, which has stood at the head of our columns as the Democratic candi- date for Governor, has been substituted by that of Doctor CHAPMAN. The circumstances which have led to this change so well known to our read- CTS, and so much in accordance with the feel ings of General CONWAY himself, that we have not felt it at all necessary to accompany it with any re- marks. The character and position of Elias Con way are we'll known and So highly appreciated by the people of this State, that we have not deem ed him in need of either euogy or defence. It is well known to all, even to those who have been so basely interruptions to deny 1t, that he was nom- mated by the December Convention, not only with out his connivance, but contrary to his expectations and wishes. But the nomination was almost unani- nous, and urged upon him, that he did not feel at

 liberty to decline After he had accepted due respect to those who had nominated him. as we'll as to himself required him to maintain the station which he had ac- cepted until he should be satisfied that the interest of his party made change even desirable. At the first voice of dissatisfaction, he expressed his readiness to retire; and so he found that voice indi- eating any thing like responsibility of numbers he publicly declared his wish that another Convention should be held, and freely submitted himself again

 

 and when it assembled in this city, the claims of various individuals were canvassed before it. The Convention had assembled for the purpose of har- mony and the main question for il, was not the pecu- liar claims of individuals, for no one questioned the competency of any Democrat before it but it was who would be most acceptable to the acholeparty i? Pending this question, it was well known both to the friends of Genl. Conway, and from his letter, that he did not desire the nomination. Under these circumstances another nomination was made, not we are sure, because it was certain that the change more fully met the wishes of majority of the par tyi but because, by sencing the dissatisfaction of portion of the party, and meeting the acquescence of the rest it would thus harmonize and unite the tchole Without going into detail these are the facts in the case; and believe we will be borne out in statement of them, by the concurrence of every candid member of the Convention.

 In all these transactions, such as we have indica- ted it, has been the conduct of Elias Conway; and throughout, it has been that of true Democrat, a 1 high-souled patriot, and an honorable man. And that he is all this in the fullest and best sense of the terms there is no honest man to deny or even to doubt He can well afford elevated as he is in ev- cry good mans respect, to treat with the silence of contempt, and look down with scom upon the sour " CUTS who have been hired to bark around his heels-they can never rise any higher nor even wound him there.

 We have been induced to call this subject up, and indulge in these remarks not, as we have re- marked, that Genl. Conway needs either eulogv or defence; but because of paragraph in the last Ga zette, which though mere nsnuotioa, is obviously the offspring of heart so inehably mean, that we feel it to be duty to point it out and thus mark the brand of Cain upon the forehead of it's author- Here it is

 J5-Truly, 1t Is said, necessity hath no law Else why did the editor of the Banner, after helping to get up, and swearing allegiance to, the December Convention, so tamely submit to the dictate of the juggler's Convention of April and lick the rcd that smites him. Does he desert Conway, who aided to establish his paper? [.4rkonsas GazeHe.

 Comment upon this is unnecessary to indicate its character and object. Aside from the msstatement that we ''heped to get up the December Conven ton,' (when we did not reach the State, until few days before the Convention met)-aside from this, its obvious design is to plant the seed of suspicion and enmity, between Gen. Conway and ourself- Truly, our correspondent Pulaski, seems to have known the Gazette we'll This attempt to screen in between friends, and SOW discord there''-tbis '' worse than poisoning your neighbor's we'll, is what Pulaski charges him with. But of one thino you may be assured, neighbor of the Gazette you will not succeed in this instance, your crawling career IS too we'll known to do any harm and this IS so perfectly in keeping with your other dirty work, that it but serves to provoke the contempt of both of us We are proud to say that the friendship between Genl Conway and ourself, is based upon mutual confidence and mutual esteem. It is, there ore above the reach, it is above the appreciation, o that pitu malice which would seek to disturb if
