manifested by The people in The election
of their Chief Magistrate.

uames thus brought forward, | have not

Francis w. Pickens, of EdseieId. No
man in this State is better qualified by his
genius, public services, popularity, and
entire fitness for The Office, 10 fill it with
honor to himself and dignity aud profit to
the Slate.
In addition to all Of these high recon-
mendations, Col. Pickens has the merit
Of being no Office seeker. He has served
in he Legislature and the Congress of the
United States, because he was placed
there BY the solicitations Of his friends.
Following as the successor of Governor
McDutfie in Congress. he fully sustained
the ancient reputation of his district. and,
after years of service. voluntarily retired.
Very soon after the Inauguration of
President Polk, he was offered The mission
to England. but refused it distinctly on
the ground that he would not accept Office
from The Administration until, by its acts,
it had redeemed all its pledges of justice
TO his own State, and the South gene
rally. Such high patriotism, such sacri-

SPECIMENS OF POLITICALCON.
SlSTENCY.
The people are urged to take Gen.
Taylor for lher President, without, know
ing his opinions upon public measures, on
the ground hat his honesty is prooi-lhai
all tho in'rigues of the WhiS politicians
who have him in charge, have not been
abIe to make him swerye from the position
which he has assumed before the people.
On this ground, more than any other, his
supporters have challenged for him com-
parison with Washington! In relation TO
this matter, few questions occur 10 US
which we should be glad 10 see answered.
lst. Did General Taylor say. after bis
name was presented for the Presidency,
that be would give no pledges as to his
political course and opinions if elected
President.
Cd. Has he since pledged himselfnot to
veto bills passed by Congress on variety
Of subjects
81. Did he ever say that he would
never be considered the repl osentaIiye of
principles and opinions Of any party?
4th Has lie since permitted himself 10
he held up by Wings all over the country
as The representative Of their party Princi-
pies and opinions?
5lh. Did he ever say that he would run
as an independent candidate, whoever
might be the nominee of the Philadelphia
Convention; and did he cordially assent
TO and approve of several political organl-
cations to ruu him on that ground ?
9Th. Did he then authorize his friends
TO 90 into the Philadelphia Convention,
On The express condition that. If not noIni-
mated bv that body as The candidate Of the
Wing party there assembled, he would
not run at all !
9TH. bid he, in his letter to Ge,. Gaioes,
declare that, 10 his judgment, it was our
best policy to take and hold by military
force six or seven Of The Mexican provin-
ces!
9th. Did he then say, in his first Allison
| latter. that he was opposed 10 the acqulsi.
,ion of any territory by conquest?
9lb. Did ne say iu whole series o.
letters hat he was Wing, but not AT
ultra Whig?
10Th. Did he then tell Col. Haskell, o.
Tennessee, that he was Whig-and
quarter oper !
1lth. Did he authorize Col. Winthrop
in Louisiana. 10 disavow as unaulhorzec
what Judge Saunders had said in his be
