Joseph A. Wright*

The name of Joseph A. Wright is a lower of strength. Il i* beyond the retch of the envy*«jjd nalice of ft Cow whig editors who awn disposed^ commences war of personalities.

It Js very remarkable that Gov. Wright has per* formed th« duties of executive of this State for two yearspast. and not the firrt charge b»i been made, *s yet. against his conduct.

The Governor need* no eulogy fi^Hf^tl^'hie course a« Representative. Senator, member of Congress, and Governor, exhibit* on all occasionshis 4evorfon to the beet tetereeteof the State. He is a Mf feat, and decked »at—raised In tndfatffc— a meohanio by profeeaioti in early life—and haa snade himealf thoroughly acquainted with every interest and purnuit of oar people.

Ijw^-

If# man of great labor. In hia present offico* wmBh he ha* held with such distinguished honfbr to the State, at home, and abroad, his devotion haa been moat ardent. Prom oar position we have the meana of knowing the deep interest he ba* taken in every quealiott afleciing the interett of the State, her revenue, her debt, her achools. d«s.

We auppOae it waa thia well-known devotion of Governor VVHght, to every intereet of State—agricultural, mechanical, and manufacturing—that induced hia competitor, NichMaa McCarty, to *ay bol^lv, in the whig Convention, on accepting hiM nouiination, that Gov. Wright had made a gopfcr worthy, and active Governor of Indiana, and thai he hud no objection to Ilia course.

Gov. Wright has been a citizen of the State for thirty*five yeais, was raised and educated amonj* the people of the State^He f# now, as he haa always been, without wealth, or wealthy friend*, whose money can be used to ^jiuah lorward cnnvaM, hut ha ha* a hoat of friends among nil C)A*»C* of the people of Indiana, of ell parties.

Thf peoplu of the §t»M have re-elected Noble and VVhiicornh jo the oflipe of Governor, and we have not a doubt that the vote given to Governni Wright will be more ov*r#Kelniing than that rei»eived by any other mati tu the State. &

The m.tn who haa given an much, and we believe mort' fwine and cmlit abroad to Indiana, thai) any oth^r of hor public ui«n, will be sustained in a manner (hut will encourage the future statesmen thtt State to dovote their tune end talents to the in tert*st ol'thoie whom Ihey represent, as our worthy Grwrnor baa in every position which he has been ctillt'il upon to fill by the people. h.ive no lear* »f the reiult—he will receive not only the ''Unanimous vote of the Democtaicy, |ut no appeal to party fealty can be made, no falsehood invented aullkienily potent to prevent thoue* atids of whigM from thiuwing otT tha ahaukles ol

nrty. and voting for the people's Governor. We this In be truth, and a truth creditable to hu patriotism and diaoiindnation +~*-ind. Statesman.

ANDRKW DAVIDSON—It will be seen by reference lo the proceeding* of the convention that our fellow citizen, Andrew Davidson, i* before the people of tbe Stale for Supreme Jodge.

ite# of Mississip

pi, Alabama, and C*eorgia, we should like to know what has become ol the Whig party in those States. They seem to be entirely lost in the fog or to have become extinot none of them will be seen at a Whig convention^ They ere not Whig* any more, they are Union men, and will not have anything to do Willi the Whig party,—Fret Pr*$*

Tut WQN PART*.—It ia worthy of remembrinoe (aaya the Hartford Times) thet this party abandoned their profession as soon as they came in possession of Government. They gave up at once their oppeeMon to the independent treasury eyetent, wfcioh tbay declarad would certainly ruin the country, and were very glad to oonitoue it in full force. They oould get along without it. This •hows that their assertions inreletioo to it, were baaed upon a/o/*e foundation, and that tfceir probation* were hottow^hearted, merely put forth lo catch totes.

Even -protection for the sake of protectNSto* ia aft abandoneds Preeident FHI-nore haa pronooneed against tt in his message. The system of Demo» cratio measur«i adopted and tested, which were ao violently opposed by the whigs a« infamous and ru inoua, have proved «o b« aafe,.judka«^a* and jest. The whijgs date not attack them, and though the Constitution make* It the chity of file President t*» ««ll the attention of Ow^eee to any%idl or impr*»pW lair, he has dene Miiitug «a«*» to rehrtton to the»e meaeitres than to oppoee A -i^b These are fac% worthy remefibraiHce.

We believe in California, and always did. Oar judgment was early mad* up and proclaimed that its product ol Gold would exceed that of «ny oth or country known to History. We believe it has in the main a good climate and an ebundoaoe of fruitful soil, though it has probably more tbat is ragged and impracticable. And we do not doubt thai, for those who go weB prepared and provided, ibere are as good chances in Califoruia now as there ever were. Vet the rage of the feeer at present is rather appalling. What are all these thouaands (odo in Califoroiaf GoW-washing moot, in the nature of things grow less and leas produotiv* Lb«^e Wt» iHkjrich oocketaJ saM 'bolesVfor y«ara yet but agood deal of the ground haa been gone over, and fifty thousand diggers in 1852 can hard|}y hope to average a* much of the ahiiiing sand as five thousand did in 1849. Many will do well but washing roust naturally grow lesa fruitful and more precarious. (Quarts mining, or rock crushing, seems to be genersliy doing very well but there will hardly be one sett of adequate machinery in the Gold Region thia summer to every thousand gold seekers. How are the rest to be employed!

We do not doubt the luck of a strong, willing, two handed man, who knows how lo chop. team, plow, dig, blast. &c., and can Ao three or four of them well, A first rate blacksmith, sawyer, carpenter or builder, who can turn bis band readily to something tlse where his own trade happens to be glutted, will be apt to get along. But we beard* men setting out for California who have never been able to hold their own here, and who h**e very little rough and ready capacity for manual-labor.— Most of these, wo apprehend, will rue the day they left their Atlantic homes. liven dainty women are trying to get across, with the idea that there must be uhances for them lo make fortunes on the Sacramento. 8o there may be but for ony but the stoutest sort of rugged workers, who can cook, wnsh. make beds, mend clothes, and don't mind doing each exposed to a. burning aun or a pouring rain —for the miners' bouses to th# diggings are often very primitive—we fear UaljIorfliilvJ*!!! pqiy^hy thing but an f£den.

Friends all over the oountryl be careful! Remember that'all is not gold that glitters.'

An amusing book oould be written upon the various modes of getting married in different countries and different ages. Here is a littld'of the *raw material,* for the composition of such a work, in a passage from the Cape and the KaJRrt. an entertaining volume lately published in London

The principal portion of the ceremony of marriage consists in purchasing the wife of her father, (bra certain number of cattle. The number is fixed by the father,* and il in proportion to his own prosperity and rank in life. Of course it often happens among Kaffirs, as among" Europeans, that an ardent youth of small means but vast expectations (founded on the convenient proximity of the colony} will dare to fail in love with some maiden whose papa is a man of wealth and high degree, and who would treat him as contemptuously as a oily alderman would anarc&rous *sub' of a marching regiimmt, living cm his pay, who should dare to lift his eyes uf Jemima Bulliondust, histrair daughter. Poor 'subs' in such oases, have only to ohooee befMreen Gretna Green and despair. But they msnttge such things better in Kaffir-land The ardent youth, thu* repuUed, feels that something desperate mustbe done to win (or purchase) his mistress. Tbeiw»re, having no very great r»* speot for the inconvenient distinctions of meum and /Mast, he collects some friends To aid bini Some fine day they walk overt he cttlonial boundary, pick out the requisite number of oattle from thefirat herd they see« drive them to their own kraal, and then the ardeQt youth claims his bride.'

TBB Law MATRUHOKIAU—We ate indebted for the following to the Editor's Table of the last Knickerbocker:^— •Pray, may I ask,' said an English bibliopole of distinction, at an agreeable party where we had the pleasttre to meet him the other evening, *lliy I ask whether in Awerisa the law matrimooial eoti« dee a man to marry the cousin of hie widow!'— •Oh. yes,' answered a l^algentleman of eminence present, M.iat is admissible hot there has been seme doubt In oar courts as to the propriety of a man's marrying the sister of his deceased wiife.'^— •Oh. ay.' repiiod the quemu *in England it is eome« what di&rsim.

One of the go-ahead ladiee of this progressive sg« thus writes of ber busband to the Boston dtve Branch. It doea aeem to h« a pity thai some men should have hewn caiughiin &e same net with such a man aa thie lady deacaibea her husband to \e—but such aocidents do happen occasionally-—» We should like to besr •Solooaoo's' cftotaa of his wile, v, w, •Mr. Editor —ityou csuld only see my bnsband. "Solomon StiHweather! It is my Asm conviction he will be the death of mef I am am naturally a happy»» bright, energetic, warm-hearted, cbato-lighl-oing, impulsive woman born after stages were expreded, and in the days of railroadf and ataam sngines. I've the most capacious heart that ever thumgted against ailken bodies^ can hate Me Lu* cifer, and love in proportion and be eterntliy gratefit} to tme who is so kind to me.

When proper tune arrives, it'comes off and it don't a fraction of a fraction of a aeeond before. Wore the house an fire, he would stop to take the lint off hi* OOat. and brosh h^r teeth before starting. (M asked hira question at breakfast I never got any answer till after tea: ho walks round the hone* with a nop*1e&s velvety tread of a superanuated pussy cat j&nould tho obildren in their play knock over test'table and its contents, he looks quietly up

Otie summer evening in the country, as he sat on thegrase smoking a cigajr it occurred tome whe^ter anything short of an earthquake would start him up so I placed a long string of crackers di^wwtly behind him, and touched *em off, and as m*a living woman he never so much as winked.

I nev»»r heard him laugh he don't know the luxury of tears,. Now if 1 could only get up a domestic iquabblef (thunder clouds clear the atmosphere, yog know.) but its no use.

Saimr'S YARN.—Old Jack Ringbolt had been spinning o}d Mrs. Tftrtaremetio any quantity ol salty yarns she was quit^ surprised at Mr Ringbolt's pa ahd downs, trials, travels and tribulation. Honest Jack has assured the old dame that he had sailed overhand over many cities, all under water, whose roofs and chimn|ys. with the sign boards an the stores were still visible. He had seen Lot's wife, *r the pillar of salt she wat finally ftoaen into. •Anddidyoui see that—Lot a wife?' asked the old lady. ...... -if •Yes marm—but it *tain there now—the cattle got afoul of the pillar of salt and licked it all tip.' •Good gracious, Mr. Ringbolt!'

•Well, Mr. Hingbott. you ve s#en so mucn, and been tround so.' I'd think you'd want to settle down. Why don't you take a wife!' •1 have took wives 'fore now. martit, but then their husbands never seemed to like it, so 1 gin it op.' '. dl-i,-' I''Jt' f-tP

ErtSRor or CHARACTER.—Prof. Tat lock. in. a lectu/e before the North Adams Lyceum, gives the following illustration of this principle in human nature, in comparison with pride: •About forty years ago. a young man with limited Capital, commenced business in the city of Boston. and was obliged to employ a* single clerk on small salary. A lady called at his store one day and made some purchases, which she wished delivered at her residence! ^Phe merchant request ed his olerk to dellver thehuodle as required. He declined the merchant immediately took tha haa* dip and delivered it as directed. The clerk never waa worth a hundred dollars ia iris fife—tha merchant was Amo« Lawrence, now a millionaire.'

A'ooileetor of ohuroh ratea in England* called upoo a Quaker who kept a dry goods store, for the usual sata. The latter said— •Friend, Is It right that I should pay, whati I never attend die e»tabliabed church 1* •The church is open to afi,f answered tha. codector, 'and you might have attended, if you had a mind to.*

TheQtfkkar paid the money, and on th#next day eent the odl»etora bifl for bfoadclo^. The man came immediately, and in agreat passion faked the meaning of it, declaring that ha never had a aingle article from his store. •Uhl' aaid the Quaker, rabhtag hia haade^^fce atore waa open for tbef$ sad thea migbtsi bave had the cloth if t|ioo hadst a mind.*
