But we are ratherinclined to the opinion, that any coinnimit tal on the subject now, is premature. We con fess too, that we would like In see some evidence of general amnesty by the oli Union party, in the choice of the opposite part v, to the Legislature, from the districts where they held the ascendancy. The nullification districts have in many cases set the example of electing their old oppo nents, but if it has been followed in a sin gle instance by the Union districts we can not call it to mind." Our residence in this State, since the old party lines were borken up, does not enable us to speak conjidentlv, in intters relating to iitem. Wv'e knov very little indeed in relation to them, and have nev er cared to enquire. We presonie, how ever, that the "old Union party" have inanilested no disinclination to support their old opponetils, on any proper occa sion: at any rate wo have never heiard otf any hing of the kind; and, if we miktako not, Kershaw Dittrict is at least "a single instance," where, having tlthe ascendati cy," they have elected b-come of the oppo site pany to the Legislature." liut, even though there were, as yet, no such partic tilar instance, is it not sutlicient, that they have every where acted with us, cordial ly, honestly. and zenlously, throughout the State, in the several Districts, tl the Legislature, in support of our coinion priNciples and measures ? As a striking instance of this, within our knowledge, we may mentiotn, that when we were invited here toadvocale those common principles and ineasures, it was alike by Uniun men and Nullilires. Oti suggestigla to one of the latter, (among the reason which deci ded its at first to decline.) that we should perhaps be objectionable to the Union In dependent Treasury men, in consequence of out former zealous advocaey of the principles of Nullfication, he said no; that when they were asked if we should be so, they declared not in the least, as; fully and heartily concurring with them, on the ex isiing great question at issue, they should he eqiually as well salisfied with tts, as if we had licen a Union man; And when our Prospectts was issued, their acts fully jus tified their words: our largest and earliest subscriptiou lists were received from the old Union Districts, respectively, than to the others. It alrTrds us pleasure, thus openly and publicly, to testify to their liherality, itm pariiality, and good faith, and, utder all the circuimstances, it is certainly dute to them from us. We frankly submit it to our hithly respected contemporary of the Mcssenger, if this he not a strong and over ruling set -oflto his objection ; mani fested, as it has been, not in "a single in stance," only. but by the Union istricts oenerally. We presume those Districts have not, in any plain and( unequivocal manter, refused to support them "of the opposite party," who it is probable have never ofTered themselves t) them as candi dates; and if t hey have not particularly called them out, this may very fairly be attributed, as rm ucl to thati honorable deli cacy of feeling, which would naturally prompt a minority, to hesitate in ofrering unsolicied polit:ial favors to the men of tle majority, as to any disinclination to supportthe. It is plain, that these acts of concession and coiciliation, should be from the strong, to the weak-the majori iy, to the minority-not from the weak to the strong. lfsuch has been the case, so far, it is as it should; -and we rejoice that out- friends have set a most noble and maenanimous example of it, in the nomi nation of Col. Riehardson, which cannot be Itistaken-which is an honor to hu manity, and puts to shame, the miserably narrowv and contracted condutct so common andi general, ini the partizart conflicts ofthae da~y. Sinice writing the above, wye have seen a most singular comtmunicationt, in the Chiarle'ston Courier, of Tu'esdlay last, sign ed "The Low-er Country," qutestionitng the propriety oif the nomination, and the mode, &c., and putting forth Judge David John sotn, in opposition to it. Weo are utterly unable to perceiv-e any thing in it "out oif the usual course;" but, not having time or ro at present to show that it is niot so, wvill barely 'ematrk, that if the writer a grees with Cad. Richartdson, ini politics, it is rather astonishing that lie shotulad nomri nate Judge Johnson; and if he agrees with Judge Johnson it is not at all suirprising; hat lie opJpos the nomination of olt. Richardsotn. In the latter case. how cain he assutme to sp~eak for- a party lie so thor onighy difTers fromi 7-or, int the formuer-, howv reconcile it to his pr-inciples, to nomintate a moan so dlecidely opposedge them ? We should like to see him "defi ne his position," in this matter! We entertain a-high respect for Jtudge Johnson, persoinally, but, as we dleclaredi when lie w'as advocated by the Telescope, last suitmier, it is altogether oum of the question, for tts, 0or ottr political f'rienuds, either of the ohal Nullification or Union party, to support a thorough Clay; andI United Statcs Bank man, for- the highest ohlice in the State. If the writer in the Courier agrees with Judge Johntsoni, let him come oat openly andh say so, andI thereby give a good reason for supporting him, against Col. Richard son; but, in such ease, w'hat right has he to decliare himself "not well satisfiedl," &c. as though some injtist ice had been done to him, or his c.andidlate ? And if he a grees with tis, and Col. Richardson, antd yet expects uts to support a man diamerri cally opposed to us in principle, from be ginning to end, might we not well say to him, "Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this thingr'" JMisceUaneous.

We are highly gratifled to witnesetlbe un anitmity man tifested ini relation to the niom intsion of Col. R ichardsun. E very indi vidlual we have heard speak of it, except a solitary one, decidedly approves of it; anid every paper in the State, has declared itself wvartmly atnd zealouisly in favor of it, exce pt two-the Georgetown A merican and Pendleton Messenger--the former, 'o fatr as we know, (for it has cotme to us very irregutlarly Ior somne time past,) not having expressed itself on tlte subject; while the latter, merely thintks it premature, htut conicurs in the high encotniums on Col. Richardson. The followitng is its entire article on the subject: "The Charleston Miercutry brings to the view of the public the name of Col. Johnt P. Richardson, of Sumtetr, ats a proper sttccssor of Gov. Noble, at the expir-ation of his term of service. Col, Richardson was a Union man in the contest which a few years since agitated the State. The Mercury, (always a nutllifier,) speaks of the nomlinatiotn as "a sort of formtal ratift cation of the political bonid of Untion," and adds. "we are sure that no matn of the old Untion party could be named, whom they attd we wvould more delightt to honor; notne wvho has been tmore true, whethetr as an ally or ani oppotnent; nonte wvho has al ways been more firm, or bet ter tempered his firmness with dignifiedl moderat ion so as to conmmand the good feeling and respec t of all. The successful e xertioni of his great infintenee in moderating violence andI promotitng harmony, has been felt, and gratefuslly appreciated ever since the first convetntion agaitnst the tariff, anti de signates him cotnspicno'isly as otne in tuni ting to support whotm, the old parties shoutld solemniize their political uinion." We believe, from our knowledge of Col. Richardlson, that nothing is here said of him which is not dlescere. We cer tninlyin tine an o-. the parte whom w-e From the Charleston Mcrcury. Our next Gorernor, and the Nomination in the Courier,-The second number of "The Lower Country" in support of his nomination of Judge Johnson in opposition to Mr. RicharJson appears in yesterday's Courier (the Bank organ) in close juxtapo sition withl the nomination of Col. Ham mond fur the same office. First 'of the first As "the Lower Country" disclaims any connexio n with the previous nomina tion of Judge Johnson, we would of course abandon our conjecturo that his is a revi val of the old Clay movement, but when he tells us that he represents 'many" sub treasury men, our suspicion review strikes -us as strange' thai a Sub'ii-Treasury man, as tihe writer avows himself, should he opposed to Mr. Richardson or he at all doubtful about his views; it is still more strange that a friend of Judge Juhnson should not know the Judge's opinion on the leading pl;Iitical otestion of ihe day, or should not have ascertined it belibre nomi iating him to so important an office. We do not speak from personitl knowledge, but we have all along undiestood that Jutdge Johnsou was in the councils of tihe Whig clique in our State, and cuiucided with them on the leading qjestion of the day. But what is itost strangt of all is tliat an in telligent Sub-Treasury itan,should speak -)f opposition to the State on the Suh Treasury gnestion. as atn unimportant mnter, as ",a temporary difTerence of o pinion ott a subject of nait ional polit is,'" We wrote, on the belief still devoutly en tertained that our State as represented bv nine tenths of her voters deeis such dif ference of opinion of higher importance, than any other puliiical dilerence of the day. Wh1161 we thliht we should avoid; by supporting Mr. Richardson, "the clashing ol rival ctndihiaies" we tnever supposed that a rival candidatc would be set up by a Sub -Treasury man or a Nullifier; and we presimed on dhe respect and gratitude of the Sub-Treasury Union nen to Mr. Richardson, in nuticipatiog thtir cordial support ofir. Richardson. If we erred in [lte former calculation, we are very sure that we have not in the latter; and if soine Sub-Treasury Nullifiers are opipoSed to Mr. Richardson, we venture ievertleless in vouch for the bulk of the Sub-Treasury Nullifiers. When we spoke of parties wo alluded to the great parties of Union and 1idtlifcation We never supposed that the notination of i n oft lie Sub-Treasury party-nd one ot such inluence as Mr. Richardson would he accepjtable to) Mr. Preston and his friends; but we have never recognized iltese as a party. They are not entitled to the name ofa party; chiher by numbers or ifliuence. We therefore still speak of Mr. Rich ardson as the Sub-Treasury or "Demo oratic Candidate," and we rejoice that his nomination has been responded to so cor ditlly by the press of the Sine generally, Union men as well as Nullifiers. If any, since they have seen their Whig friends from i ie counti ry (not exactly "the lower") repeti their hasts in doiting a generous, greatful and straight-forward action, they have our full acquitance for backing out. and takin itg up some man more agreeable to tile Bank atmui Whig party; but we tru4t thit none will need a discharge from the implied obligation. We consider Mr. Richardson, we re peat, as the Sub-Treasury "Democratic Candidate;" for Judge Johnson, we are sure is on the other side, and Col. Haiti mond has been for a long time out of pub lic life, and so far as we know, uncommitted. We regret much more to see Col. 11am mond's tihan Jttdge Johnson's nomninat ion. Judge Johtnsont's, perhnps, was only a feeler for the other tomitnion. We hnpe we tmay lbe mistaken. Beenntse, for .Judge Johnrson toaltlow htinmselfto be ts used to navatice the ohjects ofothtere, we wrould regrer, otn account of the respect we enter tin f'or him. We regret to seeCol. Hlammonad brought forwaird. H~e is a Nullifier, atnd we con sidler it under thte circumstances rather utthandso~me for Nullifiers to put forth a catndidate against Mr. Richardsoni. WVe wer'e pleased with the opportunity alThrded in Mr. Richtardson's nom~tination, for elo sing forever the ol breach betweeni the oltd Unuiot and Nullification parties of the State, anid consolidating them as parties (we cared not for the fractiotns) mi support of the Indlependent Tr'easury, und in oppo sition to Mr. Clay, Getn. hlarrisoni and the Whigs, We never dreamed It) the present state rtf politics of conciliatinag every little knot of envious, proud, disappointed pol i ticians. We never spoke of them as jeal ouis parties. We thought that the nmoimi nation of Mr. Richdrdson was calculated to consolidate thme greut party of the State witht which Mr. Calhoun is identified. If Col. H ammonti is a Sub-Treasury man and a frietid of Mr. Calhoun, wve do not see how lie can allow himselftobe brotught forwtard to prevent stch a restlt. Perhtaps' he will not: hut if Col. H- ammtond, is of the Whbig party, there will be nlo ineon sistetney itt his allowing a forlorn hope to rally upon him. One thing we have reason to believe; the Whbig dlique, the Preston atnd Clay meti are in favor of Col. Hammond for Govertior ttgaitist Mr. Richtardsoni. If be is not of them, but a Sub-Treasury man. he will see this, atnd distrust; lint if he shall he run against Col.

The interest of the dis course, was greatly enhanced, too, by oc casional anecdotes illustrative of the ener gy, aud industry,the fidelity to private du ty, and patriotic devotion to the public good, which marked the character, and il luninated the life, of one of the purest pa triots, and most useful citizens our City and State have ever been cailed on, in life to honor, and in death to mourn. After the delivery of the Eulogy, the fol lowing Anthem concluded the ceremonies of the occasion. "This ire's a dream an empty show, Bat the bright world to which I go, IHath joys substantial and sincere, .When shall I wake and find me there? O! glorious hour! 0! blest abode! I shall be near. and like my God; And flesh and sin no more control The sacred pleasures of my soul.

We hnd last evening by the Liverpool packet ship Patrick Henry. news from Europe nine days later than before, viz: to the 26th of December. The lBritish Queen which has been looked for so earnestly, for a fortnight past is not coming. She arrived at Pori routh,1England, Dec. 25th, after a boisterous passage of 25 days, and and would lie over until 1st of Marh. The steamer Liverpool had not arrived out and it was doubtful whether she would re urn until spring. Old Atlantic roars and rages so in December, that the steamers have their match with him. The wid packets get along quite as well and rather better. The news from England is or but moderate importance. It was excepted that the 1st of January would show a do clinte of id per lb. on cotton at Liverpool, but this fall was expected to be produced by the news carried but out by the Queen confirming the large crop calculation. Of course we are as much in doubt as he fore as to the effect of that news. In the absenceof that news the cotton market remained very much as at our previous dates. Georgia fair 94d. with steady sales amotinting, of all sorts, to from 8000 to 5000 bales daily. Missisaippi fair74. Ex. tensive sales were making of Gennesse. flour in b-and at 31s., which is the price previously ruoted. The inquest on the bodies recovered from the Lexington has been brought to a close, after, it seems to me, a very exam itnation of all the testimotty which could be got ar. The verdict ofjury is also given with great independence and bonesty, and I think will command *public conildence, It prounces the Lexington and her ma chinery good, but the fire arrangements insure and the storage of cotton dartger ons: condemns the inspectors tinder (he act of Congress for allowing the hoat to run in a dangerous condition, and condetnu the cowardly conduct of ilte captain and pilot. I think the verdict accords well with the testimony. It will be likely to involve the company who owned the Lex ington in the total loss, freight, boat and all. The stories of cruel desertion by other vessels passing in the sound that ight have nil been disputed, proved to have been without foundation. It is reported, (says the Philadelphia SpirIt of the Times.) and stated from good sources, that fiveBanks, vizv the Philadel phia Bank, the Farmers' and Mechanics' Rank, the Commercial Bank, the Bank of North America, and perhaps the Mechan ics' Bank, will soon resime specie pay ments, whether the other institutions do, or do not.

On arriving at the Church. the pro cession opened to the right and left, atnd moved inwards from %he rear, (which then rested, such was the great lentith -of the column, near the corner of Broad mild Church street)and tius entered theChurch. During the procession, minute guns were fired from the South Bay Battery, the banks and stores were closed, and the col ors of the shipping in the harbor were dis played at half tast. The spacious area, aisles as well as pews, of the Circular Churcho, was crowd ed with the immense auditory, and the galleries were thronged with ladies, who came to join in the tribute of sorrow and respect, i nrded by their htishands, fath ers, brothers, or sons, to the memory of the deceased.
