The nomination forG over nior is the strongest that. could possibly have been made in tlieState. lie) is poiua lar with all classes tand colors, anti will hardly meet with any serious opposition to his election, Ile has been Superintendent of Education since 1870, and the aIblc, zealous and impiartial manner in which I c has administered tlo nitfairs of tle oflice has made hin almost as popular with the colored people as heo is with the whites. Several of the leading Republicans Ihave alI ready endorsed his tnotmat iona and declaired their intent ion to vote for him . The bal ance of the ticket as a whaole is a good one. The name of Ellison Capers would give tone and character to any ticket to say no thing of the other worthly genitlemnen asso ciaited on thec ticket with hian. The defeat ed candidates for Governor, Generals Ken ntedy and lUratton, are good anid trute menm, but an impressioni haid gone abroad thaat t ho friends of each had adea uap a slate with the names of iheir respective favorihes on it, and were persistently endeavoring to keep all other candidates out of the field, so that thec race should he narrow ed dlownl between the t wo. Whiethaer thaere was any foundation for this or nout, it miattered veay little since the imnpression land gained a strong foot-hold amtongst the voters of the State. The nomniation of eithter would have met witha opposition froam withaout and would haive caused disseti ons wvithiun thec ranks of the party, that~ amight have provean dangerous to the continuanace of good gov ernent in thec State. Thec nomiamtion of Thomupsotn has healed aill dissent ionas in outr own ranks, killed off anythaing like a for' midable opposition fromn the outside, and thaus lthUres a complete Demtocratic victory in November. The Counity Canvass Pursuant to thae appointmnent made by the County Executive Committee, the cani didates addressed the people at thas place on last Saturday. The mneet ing was hteld In thec Court Ilouse, and there was a large attendance, and everything passed off qjui etly and pleasantly. Most of the candidates were present. Soate of them declined to speak, others amerely arose and anniounced their eandidlocy, whtile sev eral made capit al speeches, all sending forth sentimients of patriotism and devotion to the Democratic party. Mr. Jeriamish Looper, a Republi can candidate, by inivittion, made a spee: It was the samet as delivered by h imt ait Cent ra', and had a good effect towards so lidifying thte Democrats, if such a thIting was necessaey, and alienating a good nany of thae cohot ed voters from haim. le de ntountced thea Democrats generally, anid ita particular for votinag for thea "nigger'' Mar tin 4. Delaney for Lieuatenanat Governor in 18'74. His argumnent s, if such thIey couldi be called, were completely answered by the Democratic speakers whto followed haim. Mr. Samuel Brown, one of our oldest citi sens, who is not a canididat c by the way, arose fronm hais seat. in the auadienice anid said, in reply to the assertion of Mr Loop or that the colored people had not been properly treated by the Democrats, that lae knew a Republicani in this County wvho lad turned off a colored man because lae had exercised his raghet to vote the Democratic ticket. No Demoerat had done this, but they had always been te frienids of thae colored people, while Rtepuablicans laud alwaiys per secuted themi when thecy dated to exercis< the rights of a freemnan. This br ougha down the houses and rousing cheers wer< given for Mr Brown. We would like ti give a syntopuis of all the speeches but apace forbids. We trust our people wil turn out to meet thae candIidates at. all ala appointments, and hear thtem speak. lth kin~dliest feeling. so far, seems to exist be ' tween all the rival candidates, and wv * trust It may so continue during the etit eenvass.

Thle Dodio cracy throughout the State has boon reorganized and is as bold, earnest and dcetermined as in the past.
