 The time is now at hand, when 1t becomes the democracy of this State to calmly survey the political horizon, and see who appears to be the most prominent and deserving upon its surface, for the office of Governor, and member to Congress. Men should be select ed who have proven themselves true to the principles of our party, as it is for principles that we contena Can we take up man, and run hini for either of those offices, sim ply because he bears the name of democrat, when, in fact, his true principles are in direct opposition to those of our party We can not. Shall we'then place a man in either of those offices, who wears the appellation of bank democrat? This would be violating one of the great principles for which we are contending. Such men as those should go over to that party which is now contending for a national bank

 That we have in our ranks, gentlemen of energy, worth, and capacity, cannot be de- nied. In this section, we hear of Chapman and Adams, in connection with the gubena- torial chair.

Oldham is well known, and stands deservedly high. He has strong claims. Judge Conway paid us a visit, last summer, and formed many acquaintances- He also made very favorable impression upon the public.

 With such men as these, what have we to fear from the whigs, and their allies, the hotch-poich party, though they may have j (the would-be Prince) Albert at their head, and the Gazette at their heels, to spur them on:

 It IS highly gratifying to state that Col Se- ver stands acquitted, by the democrats, and also by many of the honest whigs, of this county. All that is wanting is that the truth be known. Many have expressed themselves astonished that such great clamor should have been raised from such cause, after they have been informed of the matter correctly.
