: ELECTION FOR GOVERNOR
When we announced last week the
nominitton of Mr. Branch as a candid
ate in opposition to Gov. Dudley, we lit-
.wo tnougni ine party naa any intention
of running Win or any other man ; bc-
taring as wc did, that they were
fully sensible of their weak" decriped
state; and teeontttv. that Mr. Branch
would certainly be a last alternative
with the party, even if they irtcndcd'lo
test their failing strength by a desperate
effort As we study brevity in every
thing, wc shall not spend many wbj-d
in Mating that we shall uahcsitalingly
ojipose the election ofMr.. Branch, for
what we consider good reasons: (
- 1. John Branch, it is well understood,
vas originally opposed to the election
of Ccn, Jackaon, but suffered himself to
be bought over,, to the interests of that
wretched administration by ' the allure
ancnts of office.

3. John Branch, on meeting a cold
reception among those who had pro
moled him in times past, resolved to
leave the State in disgust; and actually
- commenced removing to the Southwest
jicrhaps to Florida. For. the lust
