To the Editor Of The Union:

idea, and we of the South will deem his appointment
by the President an event Of moment to the
country. His noble eulogy Of the old hero-states-
man has just reached me- II is worthy OF himself
and ofthe subject. No orator can approach II now,
without increased difidence, after seeing Jacksons
character depicted in such mastery style.
''Some time since, the convention which nominated
MIR. w. l.. Yancey their candidate for Congress-
passed set of resolutions, which they expressed -
desire to see in the Union Thinking that you
may not have seen them, enclose them.
How gloriousy is the annexation OF iexas
being consummated! 1t is done in time TO iilume
the yet fresh grave of the great man. whose trumpet
notes rang through the land, arouslng the people 70
its immense importance. The union OF the TWO
repubcs--may il be perpetual!
"An unfortunate state of things in our State was
anticipated, a short month since. The nominee for
governor is opposed by democrat; and the nomina-
ton in McConnels old district, for Congress, is
opposed by democrat; while Payne is also OPP
posed in similar way. But that old conservative
lesson, which all Of early learned in the demo-
cratic schools, to submit to the will of majority of
our friends, has been nobly at work, and there is
little fear now that much injury will be DONE The
nominees viii be elected; and Mr. Payne, though not
sustained by nomination, (there having been no
convention called in his dstrct,) will doubtless be
returned Though with at least 300 wing majority
against him, Col Cochran is highly encouraged in
his canvass. Our best Judging friends anticipate, at
worst, remarkably close race between Cochran
and billiard"
