NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR. Next Governor.?The nomination of Governor usually occupies a share of the attention of our politicians assembled at Columbia, the year before the election? and has accordingly we understand, been under consultation, though not in caucus, at the late Session of the Legislature. The result, so far as we can ascertain it, has been highly gratifying. There will be, it is confidently hoped, no clashing of rival candidates or jealous parties; but on the contrary, tireat unanimity may be ex pectod in lite support of lite gentleman to w 1)0(1) il is contemplated to offer f'te station, viz: tite Hon. John 1*. llichuidson, lately of Congress. Since the healing of the oM division between the Nullifiers and Union men of our State, the latter have as n party co-operaled with us in good fai'b, in maintaining the Siate Rights altitude, and advancing the Slate Rights policy of South Carolina, on all the leading questions now agitating the Union, and yet a Governor has not yet been selected from among them. If it lie done now, on the motion of our party, it will be a sort of formal ratification of the bond of uion; and we are sure that no man of the old Union party could be na? ui3(l, whom iliev mi l we would (Might to honor; none who has been more true, u nether as an aliv or.as an opponent; none \vlu? lias always been inn re firm, or belter tempered his firmness with dignified moderation?so as to command the good feeling and respectjjof ail. The successful exertion of his great influence, in moderating violence, and in promoting harmony, has been felt, and gratefully appreciated, ever since the first convention against* the tariff, and designates him conspicuously as one in uniting to support whom, the old parties should solemnize tli. ir political union. Ail must regret that circumstances should hare compelled him to leave his place in Congress; where no man was more honored, and valued by his colleagues, who unite in expressing their regret at the serious loss to them and their cause, which is fellinhis resignation. Highly appreciated as his character and services are in our Stale, Mr. Richardson is yet not adequat1 ?n nnwfloi oto.l niL'itur In rntnItSL Jillfl - jj - ? unobir utive course. To value him as he merits, men must serve and consult with him. Those who have done so bear united and strong testimony to his prudence, sagacity, and integrity, in short to his possessing all the most solid and valuable ^characteristics of a public man. In rejoicing, therefore, at the prospect of securing him again as a public servant, we are sure that we but give utterance to the voice of South Carolina To him the office of Governor is not any step higher in the attainment of public honor; but if it were so, we believe that} no man in the' State would dispute his title to enter the temple of Honor, as he has already complied with the old Roman condition of passing first through the temple of Virtue. ?Charleston Mercury. We cordially, heartily approve of the above nomination, and equally concur in all the sentiments so appropriately and justly expressed in relation to it, by our respected contemporary of the Charleston Mercury. We had expected, previous to the session, and before hearing the name of Col. Richardson suggested, that Col. Tfconi* T rimnro tvitliltl hp A PH nil ill*1 f P. Ill -" "J * V - --accordance with the earnest wishes of his many friends; 1>ut from the moment we heard Col. Richardson's name urged, together with the honorable, and to us highly gratifying motives that prompted it; and that Col. Elmore had positively declined to be a candidate, in consequence of the pressing angagements of his private affairs, and cordially approved the nomination ol Col. Richardson; we have entertained the most decided approbation of that nomination, and confidence that it would secure the general and hearty support of our political friends, of either of the old State parties. So far, this confidence has been fully sustained. Not the slightest expression of a doubt or disapprobation has been uttered in cur hearing, or that of any one we have spoken with on the subject: but everywhere the most spontaneous gratification, not only at the nomination itself, but thp Just and (rpne rons trotives of it, so natural to our peo pic, and peculiarly honorable to their character; and we feel assured that Col. Richardson will go into office, not merely without opposition, but with th unanimous vote of the State. South Carolinian. From the Grecnshorough [AZ?.] Republican. GEN. HARKISON. The following is an extract from a letter of Mr. Langdon, Senior Editor of tlic Advertiser and Chronicle, Mobile, arid a member of the Legislature, to that paper, giving an account of the effects of the Harrisburg nomination upon the Whigs ol the Alabama Legislature: I believe I stated in a former letter, thai the Whig members of the Legislature hail passed resolutions, recommending a Whig State Convention. I have now to inlornt you, that an adjourned meeting this evem'nir. those resolutions have been rescind e' * ; ? 1 ed.- This step met with my disapprobalion, but as there was a difference of opinion on the subject, perhaps it is be Iter to postpone it for the present. The disappointment of the Whig? at the nomination of General Harrison, has been the cause of this proceeding. Well: but nothing more than we had a right to expect from citizens having the i least regard for Alabama's interests, prioi ciples and consistency; nay, having but one drop of Southern blood in their veins, one summer's hue of our sun on their brows. We pity the unfortunate slave of party, the blinded victim of personal prejudice, who can wish to impose a man upon us, so palpably obnoxious to our every feeling. What!'the advocate of all | the abuses, of all the tariffs! Who, to this day, act.tuis mat anti-repnniican r.nct miserably fallacious svstem of sectional plunder ami pragmatical legislatio i, upon groinuls of justice, expediency and constitntional right! Who declared In the Agricultural Society of Ohio, that he would not consent to abandon the Tariff policy, kt until grass grew in the streets of Charleston and Norfolk?" Who has been the highest toned advocate of Federal Improvements, Federal Banks, Permanent Distributions, and every other flagitious usurpation, and la'itudiuous construction of the Constitution! Who is the nominee o the Anti-M is mic Convention of Pennsyl vanh, and was insisted upon by the Dele* : gates from that State in the Ilurrisbttrg I Convention, as necessary to secure the : votes of that unprincipled and persecuting ! sect! Who proposed to devote our sur' plus revenues to the removal of that foul ' blot upon the American escutcheon, the ; domestic servitude of the S tilth! We close i these indignant inquiries by simply point! i:ig the attention of our readers to tiie lid1 lowing extracts from the two leading organs of the Abolitionists in proof of the assertion made in our last, and similarly substantiated, that Harrison's nomination 1 * , was very greatly produced bv the desire j of conciliation the assistance of the Abolitionists of New York, Massachusetts , and elsewhere. THE IIAIIIUSON CONVENTION. Well, the ngonv is over, and Henry : Clay is?laid upon the shelf. And no man j of ordinary intelligence can doubt or deny j that it is the Anti-Slavery feeling of the I North which has done it; in connection ! with his own ostentatious and infamous ) pro-slavery demonstrations in Congress.? [Praise to Clod for a grent Anti-Slavery vicj tory. A man of high talents, of great dis| Unction, of long political services, of j boundless personal popularity, has been j openly rejected for the Presidency of this I republic, on account of his devotion to slavery. Set up a monument of progress there. Let the winds tell the tale. Let the slaveholders hear the news. Let foreign nations hear it. Let O'Connell hear it. Let the slaves hear it. A slaveholder is incapacitated for the Presidency of the I United States* The reig i of slavocracv ) a is hastening to a close. The rejection of I Ilcnry Clay by the Whig convention, tfl[ ken in connection wi;h all the circumstances, is one of the heaviest blows the monster slavery has received iu this country, i ?Emancipator. Nomination* of General Harrison.? The National Whig Convention, assembled at Hnrrisbttri; on l!ie Gtli inst. nominated William Henry Harrison for the oflicc of President of the United State?. On the first and second ballot, the vote j stood for Henry Clay, 103, for Harrison, j 91, for Winfield Scott, 47. On the third ' ballot, the vote was for Harrison, 148; for Clay. 90; for Scott. 16. All the slave States went for Clay. We regard litis as another important sign of the limes?as a , signal deleat of the slavcholding power in ; this country. Ilad it not been for Abolitionism, llcnry Clay would undoubtedly have been nominated.

The recent holidays, and a damage which ha? occurred to the press on which the Messenger is struck off, have retarded the business of his office, lie would further mention, that [lie publishing of an important rssiy upon the "Rights of the Slave-holding States, jnd the owners of slave property, under the Constitution of the United States," | from the pen of < onwuy Jiobinsov, Esq., j ;>f this city, has also postponed the appearance of the Messenger. lie believes, however, that the value and interest of this paper will fully atone for the delay.
