Federal Republican Nominations.

FOR GOVERNOR

HON. SAMUEL LATHROP

Of West-Springfield.

FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR,

HON. RICHARD SULLIVAN.

Of Brookline.

HON. SAMUEL LATHROP.

Mr. Lathrop, is the son of the Rev. Dr. Joseph Lathrop. of West Springfield, a man justly distinguished among the divines of New-England, for his piety, wisdom and learning. From him he received the richest legacy a father can bequeath a child, a Christian education, accompanied with the example in his own character, of a virtuous life. The gentleman now nominated for the office of Governour, was educated at Yale College, Connecticut, and received the honours of that institution in 1792. After leaving college, he was bred a lawyer, and has sustained the character of a fair practitioner and able counsellor. In 1809, and for several years succeeding, he represented the county of Hampshire in the Senate of Massachusetts; during which period we find his name on important committees, and we know from those who were associates with him at the Senate Board, that they respected his talents and confided implicitly in his sound judgment. In 1820, we find him in the Congress of the United States. Here altho from his political sentiments, he has not been allowed to take the first rank in the House, he has been a very useful and efficient member of that body; the majority have always been willing to avail themselves of his experience and judgment, upon many important committees. The character of Samuel Lathrop is that of an independent, judicious, wise man. A descendant of one of the early settlers of New-England, he has all the worth of the ancient New-England character, without its faults. He is about fifty years of age-at that time of life when all the faculties are matured, but not blunted. If elected to the office for which his friends have nominated him. his administration will reflect honour upon Massachusetts. Of the gentleman named for the second office in the gift of the people, the Hon. Richard Sullivan, it is sufficient to say, he is well known as the friend and counsellor of Brooks, and as the independent, practical agriculturist. He is a son of the late Gov. Sullivan, a man who, by the unaided energy of native talent, passed through almost every office in the gift of the people of Massachusetts until he arrived at the highest, and then exhibited the noble example of a man, who would be Governour of the State, but not of a party.
