would perfer. 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'"

In the dark shops of iutustry, tinder the

givest relief to miscry. Vithout thee,
what would he the herdsman as he drives
his flocks? Without thee. what would
be the vine dresser on the burning hills?

King of the world, and cf the day, wari:Fr

space to thy rapid flight, and traced thy
wonted path in the heavCns? By thy
side, no star raises its rival front-the
daughters of night pale before thy splen
dour-lhe mio nflies before thee, with
an unequal pace, and her feeble rays
are swallowed up in the waves. U-jder
the combined blows of years, and the
winds, the towering head of the oak
bows low. The mountain even, the
mountain assailed by tite, fills up the
valley with its wreck ; but lte destroy
ing ages spare thy beanty-an eternal
spring graces thy youth, thou seizest the
heavens, like an invincible conqueror,
and vows of love ascend to thee, inces

When the tempest bursts forth and bel
lows in the air, when the winds cause
the resotudiug chariot which bears the
thtiunder, to roll in the inidst of the light
ning, thou appearest-thou smilesi, and
thou dost console the earti. Alas!
w%,hat time has passed, since thy glorious
rays have ceased to strike upon my sight!
I shall see thee no more; whether in thy
career, thou sheddest upon the plain, an
ocean of fire; whether the retinue of
clouds attend thy sieps in the east, or
the gloomy waves enclose thee in their
humid prison ! But perhaps, Oh! Sun.
thou shinest but for a seaisoni. Perhaps,
sinking under the weight of ages, thou
wilt one (ay,SuJlffeir our common destiny;
thou wilt be insensible to the voice of
morning, and wilt sleep in the bosom of

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

irregutlarly Ior somne time past,) not having

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

adds. "we are sure that no matn of the
old Untion party could be named, whom

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

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. Richardsou, supported
by the Whig clique; it will we predict, turn
out an attempt to divile the Sub-Treasu
ry party of South Carolina, and an at
tempt to break dow~n J. C. Coihoun: and

course, was greatly enhanced, too, by oc
casional anecdotes illustrative of the ener

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.
"My flesh shall slumber in the ground

Then burst the chains with sweet surprise,
And in my Saviour's image rise.
NEw YoitE, Feb. 1, 1840.
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

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

Thou art gone to the grave-arad it.s mansion

Perchance thy weak spirit in doubt lingered

But thec sunshine of Heavea beami'd bright Otn

Thou art goute to the grave-but we will not
deplore thee,
Since God was thy, ransom,'thy guardian, thy

He gave thee, he took thee, ad Ito will re
