Concerted Js,o Baplized.-The N. !. Herald
states, that :" the Rev. Spencer II. Cone, Of the
First Baptist Church of this city, performed
the sacred rite of baptism yesterday upon a
young man named Isaac Aaron. who is con-
vert from the Jewish faith, and the first that has
ever been baptised into that communion in
this country A large concourse of persons
were present 10 witness the ceremony"
five are not mistaken, there was two or
three Of the same sect, baptized some years
since, in Charleston, by the Rev. Basil Manly,
whilst he was Pastor of the Baptist Church in
that city.
Since the above was in type, we find that a
correspondent Of the Augusta Chronicle in
noticing the paragraph from the Herald, says: !:
"Ten years ago, the Rev. DR.. Manly, now
President Of Alabama University. received by
immersion into the LIST Baptist Church of Char.
lesion, three Jewish converts, two gentlemen
and lady. One of them, the Rev. Moses
Suares, has been an ordained preacher Of the
gospel for the last FIVE or six years, and has
himself administered christian baptism TO many
subjects. These facts vouch for"

Twas said by their correspondents, in The
newspapers Of December last, that there was
much talk in Columbia, as 10 The next Cover.
nor's Election. The concourse Of persons in
Columbia at that period, fromthe differen. paris
ofthe State, was unusually large and .tis true,
that many opinions were expressed in rcfor-
ence 10 the probable candidates for Governor,
in December ls44. Among the names spoken
Of none was more frequently mentioned or
more favorably received, than that ofthe Hon.
WILLIAM AIKEN, one of the Senators from
Charleston. ~; s!.t' i,
MIR. AIKEN has been for many years in the
service of our state-frst in the lower House
and now in the Senate-where he has ever been
marked for his high moral bearing, business Ia
lenls, and the prompt and faithful discharge Of
his legislative duties. Sound in politics, firm
in purpose, Of unbending integrity. and withal,
thoroughly identified with the Agricultural in
,crests of the state, as highly intelligent
Planter, South Carolina will find hlm safe
helmsnan in any crisis.
Without desparaging the claims Of any other
gentlemen, whose names have been mentioned,
we believe there is no onesamong them whose
elevation to this high office, would give more,
general satisfaction. His numerous friends,
therefore, without tie Intervention Of cliques
or caucusses, recommend MIN 10 llis fellow cit
