W1e will cling to the Pillars of the Temple of our Libertes,andifit mustfall, ce will Pcrish amidst the Ruins." 7 We publish with pleasure, the commu_ nication of " Many Planters." upon the subject of tie Governor's election, having some time since declared our columns open to the friends of all the candidates; and at the time of mnak. ing such declaration, being fully convinced. that the people had little to do with that elcc ti'm, after having mentioned who was the can didate of our own choice, we had determined to drop the subject, and as regarded our self, tallow each and every candidate,through their friends, by the aid of our columns, to have a fair hearing; knowing what little influence we had, could avsil nought, we had come to the same concljsion with our friend of the Ham burg Journal. "that there ik but little to he made in pufing and blowing for men who cares nothing for its, and know us not from a side of sole leather." and, who just before they are elevated to office, will bow and scrape to every one they meet; but, after they are snugly seat ed, carry their heads so It igh, that they know not a "poor dvcil" of an editor, unless he be one of those cunting. hypocritical mortals, who has been raised from the dust for their use, and is ever at their heels for orders-that is, to know what is the will of the incumbent, or who is to be denounced, through the columns ol'his press to please his master. So long as we have been at the head of a press, we have used eve ry means in our power to stear clear of all party Cliques, and in making our present choice we never consulted any nn or set ofan, but from motives, which we are confident is pure, have selected Mr. Seatlrook, as the most litting. of the candidates now before the people, to fill the Gubernatorial Chair. he having been for a number of years, and still remains, the leader in- all great Agrietltural mo'einents in our State, and a practical, as well as a " Book,' Agriculturist. That there has been Cliques in our State, at all Gubernatorial elections, tie presume, no one will deny, but, at this timt: we are not acquainted with the secret proceedings of the friends ofeither of tho nominees, there fore are unable to say which is the no rnince of the strongest and most powerful Clique. We are satisfied, that'utder the preseit state of af fairs, it would puzzle a wiser head than ours to tell who was the "People's Candidate," as the "dear people," have so little to say, as regards who shall be the Governor of our beloved State, that at least one-eighth of the population at the present time, can hardly inform you who is the Governor, or how lie is elected; their repre sentatives make them a Governor, and that is enough for them to k nowv, as they are elected to attend to that, in connexion with other buisi ness, they think, as is getierally the case, that what their representativcs do is right. There fore, the idea of any onte of the endidates now before the people.beinug the "people's candidate" is fitllacious, as neither has been nomjiunted by any body of the people, but by what may be termed in every sense of the word a clique, the people, or at least thme great body of the m never having been consulted upon the subject. We have long since stated, and still adhere to the principle, that the election of Governor belongs, of right. 'to the people, and until our Constitn tion is so amended as to pttt into the people's hanids the glorious priviledgo of v'oting per cap ita, for their Governor, they never can expect to have a " People's candidate," but must sub muit to the rule of Cliqucs. Having been reqnested to notice our friend " Many Planters," we have been forced to take -this mode of doing so, to clear our skirts of the charge thrown out towards us of being under the rule of a Clipse.

Bornch Manure.- We have received a corn. munication rrom Mr. Charles Baer, Pattner and Agent, for vending the Patent and Books for making Manure, by this new system. which informs uts, that he intends paying our village a visit in the course ofa few days, for the ptr pose of giving the Planters in this vicinity the opportunity of testing the benefits arisine fron this new method. Persons purchasing rights. can, for a slight compensation, have the assis tance of Mr. Baer, in making their first Manure, which, from his knowledge of the manner of proportionin the ingredients of which the mix ture is composed, will give them insight into the process. As this Manure has received a trial in many of the States and succeeded well, we have u hesitation in saying, from our knowledge ot the preparation, that it cannot fail in being of !reat advantage to those who manufatcture and use it upon their worn ott lands. and without a donbt, it is the cheapest plan that has, as yet, been made known. Gentlemen desirons of purchasing rights, or to avail themselves of Mr. Baer's instructions, will please leave their namies at this office. 9 On the 12th inet. the following were elec ted Directors of the Bank of South Carolina, for the ensuing year: John S.

We are truly gratified to learn. from different parts of the State, thtat Mr. Aikt en's natne as so favorably spoken of as the sice cessor of Governor Hammrond ; the fact is, we know of no man, from his zeal in the cause of Agriculturre, his acknrowledged talents, and sau vity of manners. that would be more acceptable to every class of the c-ommurrnity. M4i NY PLANTERS. Arrival of the British Minister.-H. B. M. sloop of .war, Vestal, of 26 gnus, Capt. Charles Talbot. from Portsmouth 16th January, arrived at New York On Monday even'ng, having on board the Right Hon. Richard Packenham, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary to the United States, from Her Brit annic Majesty. The promptitude with which the Brit ish Government has acceded to the request of our government, by sending a special envoy to adjust the. Oregon boundary question. by negotiation. is an earnest of its pacific intentions. We consider the transference to Washington of the nego tiation a compliment if not a concession. The appointment of.a special Envoy, as in the case of the North Eastern boundary dispute. sho s conclusively, that the peaceful relations which now exist be tween the two countries, there is no wish on the part of the British government to disturb. It will be fortunately for the U. States if this new controversy should be taken out of the hands of the time-serving politi cians and popularity-hunters with which the country is infested. The Oregon question is a political hobby which certain Westorn members of Congress were de termined to ride for their own selfish ends. They discovered that political capi tal could be-made out of it. A debate on this subject had been opened in the Senate apparently, for poti lar effect. Fortunately the firmness of the Committee on Foreign AtFaires in the Senate removed the ques tion from the dangerous arena of legislative debate and wisely placed it with the Ex ecutive department, where it will be con sidered free from the contagion of political passions and the influence of political cal culations. Let un hope that the same for tunate issue that accompanied the Ashbur iou Treaty will attend the result of the present negotiation.-Charleston Patriot. From the Pendleton Messenger. We alluded last week to the manner in which Ma. CALnour's letter was spoken of by some of the papers as a withdrawal of his name from the presidential canvass; and expressed the opinion, that it could be regarded as nothing more than a declaration that he would not permit it to go before a convention composed as that at Baltimore will be of delegates not fairly chosen. We have seen no'hing to change that view of the subject; and we find that we are far from being singular in our opinion. Besides the expression we have heard from vari ous other quarters, we find the following in a letter from the Washington correspon dent of the Charleston Mercurq, which shows the view taken there. "'Mr. Calhoun's letter has reached us, .il many of his friends say that he is the moral property of the country, and that whatever may be the coarse of a packed conventtign, he shall be at the call of the peo ple. .x Prom the Winyah Observer.
