Summary
Editorial discusses the circumstances surrounding the nominations of both Maffitt and Goldsborough for Comptroller of the Treasury. It warns that people should not send "weak kneed" men to the state legislature. Initially, the Union men of Carroll and Washington counties were in support of Maffitt, but they have realized that he was "forced" upon the Union party by political intrigue and is not the "regular" Union candidate. Maffitt has openly shown himself opposed to Emancipation.
