Gov. Reeder for President.
A correspondent of the Pittsburgh Gazette nominates Gov. Reeder for the Presidency. The people of Pennsylvania should be content for the present to make the Governor a United States Senator, and the freemen of the North will not fail to invite him up higher.- Here is the letter alluded to:-
Dear Sir :-"There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood leads on to fortune." Now if this is true, is it not high tide with Ex-Gov. Reeder of your State? and as he is a man of decided talent-an able an accomplished lawyer-of high personal character-of great purity of life--an elder in the Presbyterian Church, and just such a man as our country needs in these troublous times at the helm of the ship of State, why not bring him forward at once as the next candidate for the Presidency and nominate him at your Republican Convention, in Pittsburgh, on the 5th of September? I believe his nomination would take like fire in a dry prairie. It seems to me he is the man to lead the army of freedom to the promised land of liberty and right.
Yours truly.
