So far. howev 'r. as iltere is ay political matter in his article worthy oldis cussion, I shall consider it merely as'supple mental to his father's expositioni ofhis political faith. The two writers. havin the same ends in view, have divided their labors; the father speaking whenever it was thonght a plausible defence could be made. and fur the rest, either throwing himse f upoi the dignity of his purse, and refusing all replty to a writer who might be "pennyless," or.leaving it to his son to bully and prevaricate. When the charge may affect his selfish ns pirations, Mr. Brooks forgets his di-niity, for e attempts to explain his course itt the can. vass for Presideit and Governor; but when he is aked to explain or justify his grave iiptua tfou upon his eneiahbors of "rabricatin;; and "cirenlating for party effect, faLse and nogene.

Hmnonond, Mr. 8. cannot netice "an anonymous scrib bier." fi the suppleme.t: article. however, this enlumey is juisified on the ground that several respect-thin and intelligent gentlemnen who were recently the warm supportrs of Col It., have b'cotne donhtful as to their ;coirse: - \oct coent reasoning aid conclusive proof!

In 18.i4 whene A. It was first elec te.J to the Senate (not in 183Ua alheged in the <npplemental mn ticle) he presetted one of these memnortals and made a speech against the proposed amendment.

The;ilopion ofthis 'report constituted the cmpromise beLtween the twoa parties, and for i this report Mr. Brooks voted. Acd yet it is for supporting this measaro, for which Mr. Brooks voted, that 'ol. R. is now denounced as "a foe to his country." The Union Party have never since made 'ny objection to the oath. Mr Brookis himself voted against the same oatho in 1433, wheci intcorporated in the Militay Act before lie amendmacent of-the Constitition was adoit ed; and this :th in the Military Act, was pro netnned to he against the conscitation of the U.

Now, if the. part whieh any Union man bore in this "hby gone dispute" is to disqunalify him forever from office, ot one side a large portion of our citizens will be - isfranchised. and on tie other; -the .taint of bad litith will hatng tpon the skirts of the majority. 1.utt, I do not understand Mr. -Brooks to disavow his formcer opincion, "that the eievation, of a gentlenma froat the ranks of the Union party would be wise iagnatiintns"&c. whatever stiff may be uttered in the supple tal article abent "elevatiig him to cocmand, who was but yesterday thy country's foe " Mr. Brooks inforns us that "he now prefers 'Mr. Van Duren upon every groundl whether of principle or of policy, which hns been breAnght into the discussion" of the Preaidentia election.

An attentive pe rustal ol this article. must carry conviction to the minds of many, who have heretofore been numbered with the Whigs. The position of South Carolina, with regard to the. Presiden in question, is a loft% and peculiar one. She cares nothing personally. for eitier of the candi dates. They are not her special flavorites. Other men, aittong whom, is her own noble son, whose name it is needless to mention,would have beeni her choice. But these are not now before the country. . She must choose between two candidates, one of whoi is a Military Chieftain of no dazzling reputation. whose p0 litical principles are utterly at variance with her own. or at least of a doubtful ciaracter and one who has no reputation for staestmacnship.or lofty iwellect; the other. a milan ofackowledg ed ability, at home and abroad. of ei;larged and liberal views. of principles consonant to her own.and with claimns from his peeinhar positiium and his noble defence of Southern rights and Southern itstitutions, which eianot, milist not be overlooked. Can she iesitate which of the two to choose? Can she waver? We say etnphatically. NO. The comin elections will' tell for our present Chief Magistrate. They will tell for out State Rights principles, for which we have so long battled, hnt which. we trtst, will soon be crowned with the most triumphant success.

THlE MAIN BOUNDARY. We have extracted from Monday's Globe anm important ollciatl correspondete laid before the Senate on this old butt still interesting topic. A conventtion has been agreed upon by our Gouvernmtent, for the purpose of settlitng, if possible, the ques tien of the Boundary on the basis of the treaty of 1783. That a proposition in volvinig tnot stipulntiotis of forbetaance or proscrastitnation, but the whole merits of the question, should have been sanctioned by the two Governmtents, is cause of con grattulation. in all the marny dillictulties that haen surnounded anlnd peplexed .t... subject, the Administration has acted uni fornly with firmness, moderation and wis dom that deserves the sucessful issue which we hope will yet crown its ef!'orts to pre serve the peace of the country without lowering its dignity otr vielding its rights. Charleston Mercury. Public Sentiment.-We are informed that at a meeting last Saturday, sixteen miles below the Village. where there were about two hundred citizens present, the people were almost unaniious for the present Administration. and against Gen.

We are also informed that all the Candidates of this District for the Le gislature nere )rescnt except one, and that they were unanimous in their opin ions in favor or Mr. Van Buren for Presi (lent. There were two, out of the three Congressional Candidailes, present at the same meeting who both made speeches to the people. and came out decid.-dly for Van lireu and against General Harrison.
