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.

ters:
"More Neres-Rise in Cotton -The Mail
failed yesterday beyond Richmond, but by a
passenger who came through on the Bay route
we learn that the packet ship Europe arrived
in New York on Sunday from Liverpool,
whence she sailed on the 16th talt. Tne advices
ofthe market are in a high degree interesting,
to the effect that on Saturday the 13th alt.,
sales of Cotten were made to the extent of 20,
000 bales, at an advance of .d on previous qu
tations; ont Monday, thte l5th uilt. 20.000 bales
were sold at a further advance of id, and. it is
added, hohlers very unwilling sellers at that
rate. These advises ate likely to lead to large
shipments. but their ef'ect was not fully seen in
our market yesterday. A paper was broughr
through by a passenger, but .be refused to part
with it."
The following frotr. the Charleston Courier,
of the 16th inst. shows the state of the English
Cotton market at the time of the sailing of the
Europe: .
S" LvuapooL. Jan. 15.
"On Saturday afternoon, the Hibernia. Bos
ton packet, was telegraphed oilfOrmshead, and
the intelligence by her was looked for with con
siderable materest. It was very evident the bro
kers would not dispose, until the upshot- was
known; and no sooner did they receive her
papers than a very brisk demand sprung up
for speculators' account, and 5000 to 6000 bales
were sold at full and advancing prices. This
morning the market opened with a very active
enquiry. Prices fully #d per lb. highert wer,
readily paid, and in some instances Id per Ib.
was asked. At this advance about 20,000 bales
have bean cold-14.000 t,, speculators, the re
mainder to the trade: and at this advance hold.

consumers have been taken by surprise, and it
yet rentains to be seen in what light they may

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.

will not be conrsidered ptestarption htt us to
say a fewv words, in stupport of orre, whtowe
every reasoni tor be-lieve will be acceptable to
thte good people of South Carolina, and espe

we allnde to ourr wvorthty friend thre Hort. Wil
liatm Aiken, of Chairlestoni, hre is a genrtlemen
of a hrigh order orf talents, and served itr hothr
branches of the Legislature, with distinction
anda ability ; Mr. Aiken is exclusively a Plant.
er, and devoted to thte soil of Soth Carolina,
he is no "Book Planter," but an enre-getic,
practical, and experienced Fartner, who gives

soil; with his experietnce as an Agriculturalist,
togethner with hris genreral informratron, we feel
cotfitent thrat the impression of puablic opinion

and integrity, we feel well assurred, if elevated
to the Gubernatorial Chair, his administration
will ire conducted in such a manner, as will be
conducive to the general interest and prosper..

from different parts of the State, thtat Mr. Aikt
en's natne as so favorably spoken of as the sice

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

Cotton.-The receipts during the week have
been light. Since our last report the market
has been subject to much flucituation. From
the advance then noticed, a decline commenc
ed, upon the receipt of the first irregular intel.
ligence from Europe. and the market sank to
the condition of the previous weak. On Tues
day evening we received intelligence. appa
rently more favorable and the market had re
vived at the close of the week, and an advance
sustained of fully one quarter of a cent. Very
little has been doing during the week. The
market closes, however, under more favornble
auspices. We quote the extremes at from S to
9J cents.-Constitutionalist.

there is now considerable coining in, by bouts

about 4 acent since our last report. and not yet
recovered from this decline, under the infin
ence of the late favorable advices from Liver
pool. the market is nevertheless quite animated,
and some improvement in prices tnay reasoua
bly be expected. We now quote the current
rates at 84 a 10 cents, extremes-while most
