UT CHARLES PAINE retired from the Office OF
Chief Magistrate of the State upon the success
sion of Gen. Mattocks, and we feel constrained
to improve the occasion by Saying that his ad
ministration has been SO honorable, higl-mlnded
and lust, that he has won the esteem not only Of
his political friends but of the generous and can
did of his political opponents. No man IN the
State had previous to his nomination for the Of
flee Of Governor been SO wofully abused by
political opponents as Mr.. Paine-and this for
no other reason than that he was an honest and
active aborer in the Wing cause. But during
the first year of his administration ne effectually
silenccd his slanderers, and SO secured the appro-
baton of the people, that he was reelected by "a
most gratifying majority. His two years admin
istration has been SO popular and faultless-so
noble and high-mnded--as to secure In an un-
common degree the admiration of the people of
the State and the commentator Of the press and
of many public men in other States; and he goes
into private life with the good wishes of the peo
pie, and, we doubt not with the consciousness Of
"having done the State some servlce"-whch
service we should be happy to refer to more par
ticularly had we the room to spare just now
Well viii it be for the people Of the State If his
successor act always SO wisely as he has done.
