CoRREcrIoN.-ln copying, into our last
No., the communication Of 'B.' from the
Charleston Mercury, respecting Colonel
Preston's course, in relation to the Clay
meeting ofthe 10th inCharleston,d during the

to notice the remark Of the writer, that "a
decided majority [of that Convention

To say nothing of the utter improbable

heen made before; either in print, or vcr-
hally, thar we know Of; or any thing like
it; we have it from hisi, authority, on which

Bundled in fact;-and more-yes, we
