substantial reason, he thought, why the
elections should all be made, was, that
these being over, the Legislature could
theft proceed to despatch the necessary
business, free of excilemebt, and go
home to their constituents. Doubts
had been -expressed as to the views of.
the gentlman nominated by him on
particular subjects. Is there a man

concealed his - sentiments. He be
lieved he knew all his principles, and
he was satisfied with them. Ha as
sured gcTntlemen he meant nothing un-
air, he wislicd nothing ' unfair he
thousht it was well understood that
this election was to come on to-daj .
Mr. King said, the gentleman irom
Lincoln stated that it was well under
stood the election of Governor was to
come on to-day. He would ask, by
whom wts it understood? It might
have been by the leaders of the party
with which the gentleman acted, but
certainly the understanding Mas not
general. As a free man, lie protested
against the application of party fiameis,
whether it were to serve political
friends or opponents. The gentleman
however was so desirous of despatching
the public business, that he would con
sent to no delay. The parly to which
he. belonged, arrogated to themselves,
,belw
tending to the public interests. Air.
said he recollected distinctly that
the election for a United States Senator
last winter was precipitately bvought
on for, the very same reason, viz: that
the public business might be despatch
ed. Gentlemen were invoked to give
an impetus to business by having the
election over. It was done, and in a
few days we had a beautiful exemplifi
cation of the manner in which the pub
lic business was to be despatched. A
trigf-Poltit-Res4Htions-were
brought forward, disgraceful to the
State and to the party by. whom they
were introduced, which were debated
for several days at an expense of some
&J 0,000 or 812,000 to the State .This
was tlie way in which "the public bu
siness was despatched." And he had
understood that another political dose
of like character was now in prepara
tion, the one administered last session
not having proved strong enough for
the purpose intended.
With regard to the gentleman nom
inated, he felt fur him great personal
respect, but he was a political racer,
whose notions he did not like, and he
could not vote for him. He imputed
nothing" derogatory to. the gentleman
from Lincol a, bu ( h could not hejp.rer

feelings had undergone with regard to

Govemor to attend to measures of
State policy to deyclope and foster
our internal resources and leave

wished time to enquire into the prin
ciples, not the political preferences of
the candidates. By Thursday, the
day mentioned, he, could make up his
mind. Suppose in our own case a
