cNents, they VIII, aS theJ uiu VII io'h0i
occasion, beat him ninety-nine against
even his o,rn vote!
The following communication from the
Providence Journal, seems to confirm the
report above alluded to.
UNFAIR TREATMENT.-It is now near
ly three weeks since the Jackson State
Convention met in this city Gov. Fen
ncr sent to the chairman of that Con-
vention, q letter DECLINING the nomina
ton, which the party had made, of him
self for Governor at the ensuing election.
He therein stated the reasons which had
actuated him in declining the nomina-
ton, viz: that he was unwilling to lon
ger harrass the people, by frequent tri-
ais to elect Governor, and that he could
not consent to be the cause Of keeping
the State in confusion and disorder
This was certainly very creditable to
Gov. Fennei. But why has not the Or
gan of the party, the Herald, PUB
|, LISIIED the letter of Gov. Fenner?
Why in the account Of the proceedings
of that Convention, did not the editor Of
that paper deign to inform the public of
THE FACT, that Gov Fenner had de-
clined the nomination.? 1t is now be-
tween two and three weeks since the
Convention met, and since Gov. Fenner
declined, and during the whole Of this
! time, the Herald has not contained one
lisp of Gov. Fenner's declension The
conductors Of that print were hardy G.
nough to place Gov. Fenner's name al
the head of The Prox set up in their col
umns, after they knew that he had posi-
lively declined. 1t is not surprising
therefore, that Gov Fenner should fee
indignant at the treatment of the con.
ductors of the Herald. When Gov. Fen
ner saw his name made use Of in that un'
ceremonious manner, and against his po
: sitivc refusal, meeting the elder Simon:
| in the street, the following dialogue tool
place, viz:
Cor. Fenner Why do you publisl
my name at the head of the Prox in you
, paper, when you know have declined
the nomination?
/, Mr. Simons. We have not been ablt
, to make choice OF a substitute, g. though
. we would publish the prox until we coult
j make the arrangements.
t Cor. Fenner, (frmly1 Take my name
out ofyour paper
Mr. iSimons. 1t can't make any diff
ference, Governor, you had better let u
keep it in, until we can get another can
, didate.
, Gop. Fenner-(stcrnly)-I tell you
: take my name out of your paper!!!
d When the Herald again issued, th'
Prox was withdrawn from its columns
. and has not since made its appearance
| About the same time, the anti-masoni
l. prox disappeared from the columns of tn
!; Daily Advertiser and has not seen tn
9 light since. 1t is said that the Amalgo
h nation Senate is so odious and unpopu
.. lar with both the Jackson and anti-m
is sonic parties, that the leaders have dare
III not exhibit it longer to their own friends
E. THE GREAT QuEsTIoN. On Monday
the 28th ultmo, as will be seen by refe,
ence to our Congressional proceeding:
the great and absorbing question, as
the proper mode of meeting the nullify
lie ing Ordinance and laws Of South Carol
x. ma, came up in the Senate, on the motto
10 to postpone Mr. Calhoun's resolutions
in their substitutes to day later than tn
le orders had assigned them. "Never,
to says the correspondent Of the N Yor
st Commercial Advertiser, "was there sue
J. an excitement witnessed; nor have e,
,c or seen the Senate chamber so crowded
of l do not believe that ten persons NOR
IN could have been by any possible Inc ar
4 packed in the lobby, or either Of the ga
= leries, and yet hundreds went away di
10 appointed. Numbers of ladies', too, ha
re- seats on the floor inside the bar"
or The discussion was opened by m,
as tion Of Mr. Mangum to postpone the fu
oc thor consideration of tbe resolutions n ,
