date tor the office of Governor. They say in their let
ter:
"Parties in the South now differ more in name than
in principle Upon the deeply dgitang question Ofte
'WitO PrOUSO' there is ch The South unGnimity Of
feeling and of action. And from the universal sign
of the times it is quite evident that there is SOUTH
ERIN MAN who now almost and will entirely unite
The whole South and Hest in his support for the Presi
dencv; the blaze of whose deeds has lighted up the
entire country; whose sagacy, skill, energy, ability
and military and civil genius, only equaed by his
rare modesty and disregard of self whose whole life
and action has been those of PATRIOT, solely de-
srous of maintaining his countrys honor and OF adj
vancing her interests"
MIR. Lane, in his reply, declining the honor of a
nomination. agrees with them to the necessity of
unanimy of action in the Souh in relation to nation
al affairs.
"Already," he says "has the North arrayed herself
in open hostility, of DID, against our institutions, and
attempted to deprive us of our rights. Her 'Wimot
Proviso is but an index Of Northern feelings, the NUT
tering of the storm, and from it Southern men have
taken the hint and by will be secured rmer bond
than ever existed at any period of our history
GAN attempt will soon be made, we doubt not, to
won by strong arms and stout hears-if purchased by
the price of blood-we have claims, for not battle

warm blood from Southern veins Ne haze rights and
lUe will maintain ttel-mainain them did our faith
ers-frst by expostulaton then by remonstrance and
lastly by orcc for neither domestic troubles nor for

brothers of our brave volunteers.
"IfG crisis come zoe hava the same gallant old chief,
10 iChOm zoe can look IN the hour Of danger The same
plain old man. with the stern self-possesson OF Ro-
man, and the discretion and wisdom of "a sage, who
could look upon contendng armies unmoved, and pat
his faithful old grey, when the balls whstled through
his name, will not fear TO assist We can hail him
to the rescue and Rough and Ready, will be the motto
Of the Ss.dh.
The Southern ALA. 4dUocate of July 2, contains an
address from Nicholas Davis, gubernatoral candi-
date, " to the voters of Alabama" He says after de-
nouncing the abolition fanatics" and loathsome
Wimot Proviso" of the North"
@ | sometimes think can see the workings of a
J. kind Providence in our behalf If the Mexican wal
l. has exposed and made manifest the dangers which
threatened the existence of Union, it has also,
e. confidently hope and believe, in the Hero of the
the saviour of his country In little than veal
tx the whole country has witnessed with astonishmen
and prde in the character of General Taylor much
K to remind of the stern virtues and the simple
he grandeur of the Revolution. The public voice hal
xt already called him to the Presidential chair HI
n possesses, IN advance, the unwavering confidence
I'd of his felow-citizens. He is Southern and
tie STAKEHOLDER. An adaptation like this to the state
Is things around us, it to me, has occurred bu
to rarely in the history Of the world May it prove to
ry the means of delverance from impending dangers"
ry The editor of the Southern .4dUocate speaking o
u Capt Davis's circular, Says
bh " A sense of common danger has given a slmulta
G neous direction to all Southern minds and in Gene
NJ raj Taylor they the only man who can unite ant
~ harmonize the country, calm the Northern feeling
compromise the question of slavery in new territory
This new and strange move shows the only hope o
the South is in General Taylor. He alone will b.
able to preserve harmony, and compromise the con
fcting feelings of the two extremes of the Union"
nc The same number of the Southern Advocate con
of tans letter from Samuel F. Rice, candidate 70
G. Congress, designated by the Jacksonville Republican
- as the "chosen leader and standard bearer" of tn
- Democratic party of his district, in which he make
" the following avowal;
= 81 am in favor of General Taylor, as the Souther
= candidate for the PreSidencp Mdny Democrats IN 9th
wv er States are for him. Senator Nichols, who ono
he United States Senator, and is Senator in tn
tv Louisiana Legislature, and who has ever been hr
of Democrat has nominated Gen. Taylor for the Presider
Vi cy in the Louisiana Senale. Senator Taylor lives
n the State with Gen. Taylor and knows him wei
And whist Gen. Taylor is claimed TO belong to bot
d. parties with the evidences before me, and the gret
issue before us as to Abolition, l feel sure that h
may be safely trusted By Southern Wigs and Democrat
irt He is a safe man. With him the South is sal
Tor against the dangers of abolition, and his country
of safe against external and internal dangers beeV
that President be would be as impartial and as jul
~ as Washington"
~ 07sWe are obliged to defer further extracts till

Ae their man? Have they, with united voice, brought 70

of the Union to defeat the cherished purposes of tho
with whom he is connected by every consideration

- madness and folly to indulge the thought.
