FROM the CumGen ojnr1M-.---.zt
THE VOTE OF S SOUTlf2fC CAR o.
:
h it's stated by. some70f 3lGezt or
letter writer's, that The South Caroline.
members are divided as 10 the PresideDii-
al nomination. and that il is supposed the
Stale will throw away her vote. These
letter writer's are guessing wide Of the
mark in both Instances, if we are moi great
ly mistaken. Wilh'regard the Legislature
being called together 10 an extra session,
for the purpose Of merely throwing away
The nine votes of the Stale the idea is pre-
poslerous, AMI though our electors have
been guilty of such freak. in times past /,
a repetition q, The ensuing election, would
be miscrably folly. The principles and
policy of South Carolina are ton well
known, for any puIical juggling 10
change them even in appearauce,-they
are purely democratic, and mist remain
so, whoever may be oiler"d To her. al The
Presidential candidate. As natural con-
sequence, her vote will be given o lie man
who she believes will hest carry out this
policy and adhere TO these principles. We
caunot think that we are mistaken here,
The people Of South Carolina will never
aid in The election of any man TO The Presi-

mis- rule-a high tariff, and ex'ravaganl
expcuccdiiure of the peoples money upon
Internal improvements. This much for
general politics, the candidate who recei

position TO any interference OF Congress in
our domestic affairs, in preference 10 one
who, avows 10 he the mere mouthplece oil
majority Of Congress-. A few weeks
will bring TO light some Developments,
which may decide. the vote Of this and
other Southern States. Ono important
fact we wish to impress upon our Whig
friends, that South Carolina is Democratic

cause for enlargement from the northern
portion of that party,-she can, never de-
sert its glorious ard well tried principles.
Our Volunteers.--W stated some time
since, thai Governor Johnson. had, upon
application to The Secretary of War, OBJ
Iained an order from him that our Vnlun.
-teers should be transmitted from Vera
Cruz TO Charleston direct. The order Of
Gen Butler, however, making Mobile
their poin, of destination, took effect prior
to the reception of this order from the De-
parlmenl 10 Mexico; aud our Volunteers
were on their way home before The wishes
ofrhe Department were made known.
