OUR CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

A few weeks since, we announced the with
drawal of DR.. CHAPMAN the nominee of the State
democratic convention, for Governor. And at
the same time We mentioned that Gen. Drew, of
Randolph was spoken of as II candidate in his
stead, and that if he was u candidate, we would
give him our warm support. Gen. Drew has
been nominated by number Of gentlemen from
different counties, who where at Little Rock when
the newso DR. Chapman's withdrawal reached that
place; which nomination has been responded to BY
our democratic brethren in different parts Of the
State, and he is now recognised as tho democrat
ic candidate for Governor, therefore place his
name in tho list ef candidates at the head of our
paper and recommend him in the words Of a res
outon passed at large democratic meeting of
Johnson county That having full faith and
confidence in tho character and abilities Of GEN
THOS. S. DREW, Of Randolph county. as an

been due, for the last six weeks. We re- informed
by gentleman who has travelled up the road, that
similar complaints are made at noarIy all the post

be attributable to the fact that the mail carriers

Many of the wing and democratic pa.
pers have expressed much displeasure at
some resolutions passed at meeting in
Beaufort in South Carolina. The Globe
especially finds treason, disunion, nulifi.
cation, and hostility 10 Mr.. Van Buren, in
these resolutions. So far as The remarks of
the press are directed againsts the resolu-
tons themselves, we have nothing to say,
but we object to this Beaufort meeting
being given as evidence of the spirit and
feeling of the people of South Carolina
They place rs correct an estimate upon
the value and sacredness Of tho Union as
the people of any state in it, and will be
as ready to condemn the resolutions
The resolution most Objectionable con.
cludes thus.
"But if, on the other hand, we are not
permitted to bring Texas into our Union
peacefully and legitimately, as now we
may, then we solemnIy announce to the
world that we will dissolve this Union,
sooner than abandon Texas
We regard this expression Of opinion
only as an act Ofinconsiderate folly on the

that any number of persons however few,

his opinions have assumed an Importance
which entitlo them 10 be placed before the
country. To the nomination of Col. Polk
the whole democratic party responds with
the greatest enthusiasm. There is now
no division whatever. Both the candidates
James X. Polk and George M. Dallas are
entirely acceptable to everybody except
our whig friends. They have discovered
that the selection of any other person was
great injustice to Mr.. Van Buren,. What

entertain for the latter gentleman. Mr..
Van Buren, has real friends enough to
make his defence without their hypocriti.

The following resolutions were passed
at the Democratic National Convention.
Embodying as they do all those principles
which the democracy have hitherto re-
garded as bearing on the best interests of
the country, they will meet the hearty
concurrence of every democrat.
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That the American democra-
cy place their trust not in Fictitious SYM
bols, not in displays and appeals insulting
to the judgments 81 subversive Of the in
telcct of the people, but in clear reliance
upon the intelligence, the patriotism, and
the discriminating justice of the American
masses.
Resolved, That we regard this as a dis
tinctive feature of our political creed,
which we are proud TO maintain before
the world as the great moral element in a
form Of government springing from and
upheld by the popular will and we con-
trast it with the creed and practice of fed
eraiism, under whatever name or form,
which seeks 10 palsy the will of the con-
sttuent, and which conceiVes no impos.
ture too monsrous for the popular credu-
lily.
RcsoIred, therefore, That, entertaining
these views, the democratic party Of this
