Ohieí Justioe Hiram Warner, of .Georgia, lias written a letter to 8 friend who wished him to present himself as a candidato for the Democratie Eorainatiou for Govornor of tho State, in whioh he says : " There may be some good men in the State, and doubfcloss thoro are, who might believo thfit I would make a good Goveruor, as yoii suggest in yonr letter, but as you Very well know, that class of men do not have much to do these days with nominatiug aud electing GovernojB for the peoplo. That work, and sjpeciiilly tho nominatiug part, is now Sone by the politica! dique and wiro pullers, w'ho liave axes to grind on the public grindstone, whioh the people are requiivd to turn, and keep in motion, by the current of taxation, i'or their benefit. Why, my dear EÓr, dou't you know that it would be ' eftsier for a camel to go through tho eye of a needlo,' than for a man of my knoAvn views and habits, in relation to economy and extravagance, to be nominated for Governor? If you don't know it, I do. If my name should bo suggested for that office, you would hear it proclaimed along the whole line of political jobbers, political cliijaes, and poli ti cal pap-seekers, ' Üiat he is not tho mun i'or these times,' and they would be right no far as thoy aro concernod - I I should not be a proper man for them, and as that class seenis to have control of i nominations these days, having nothing elso to do, thoso who have don't stand much chance to counteract the ir political programme."
