THE DEMoCRATIC NOMINATION IN South
CARoLINA.--In announcing the nominations
made by the late Democratic Convention
a, Baltimore, the Charleston News says:
at is our opinion that this nomination will not
receive the assent Of the State OF South Carolina;
and we have no doubt that the State will, in lis
primary assemblies, disavow the act OF the nd
vidual who has claimed to represent her in the
Convention. No one who sat in the assembly
wus authorized to cast her vote for Gen. Cass or
any other candidate; she is not bound, therefore,
in honor OF principle, 10 abide the decision Of that
body. The State is un,rammelled TO pursue that
course, which her sense OF duty, under the Con
s'ution and her own rights and interests may die
tste."

Ratification Meeting
OF THE PEOPLE OF HOWARD, 0!
TUESDAY, 10Th INST.

Of Inc IEOILE Or III" AM, OAN
TUESDAY, 10Th INST.
The People OF Howard, in solid column, are
requested to meet in Fayette, on Tuesday, goth
inst, to Ra,ify the nomination Of General
ZACHARY TAYLOR. for President, and
WILLARD FILLMORE, for Vice President
Several public addresses will be delivered, and
every voter in The county is earnestly invited to
be present.
1t will be seen by the above, that there
is TO be meeting in this place on Tues
day next, to ratify the nominations of the
Philadelphia Convention. The occasion is
one which ought to call forth large a,ten-
dance, and we doubt not will.
The nomination of Gen. TAYLOR for
the Presidency, under all the circumstan-
ces, cannot but be hailed with enthusiasm,
by all true lovers Of the country. He
comes before it as the candidate of the peo-
pie, untrammelled by long political associa-
TONS unsolicited and unsought on his part,
having no object but to honestly serve the
country, pledged to administer the gov.
eminent in strict conformity TO the constitu.
ton, by pursuing the line marked out by
the early Presidents, and followed with
such happy results, ere political trickery
and party rancor was the highway to
place and power. Surely the dawning of
so suspicious day, after the scenes yet
fresh in the memory of all, cannot but be
hailed with enthusiasm. The name of
ZACHARY TAYLOR is familiar to every one
in the country, and is known and respected
abroad, as i, is at home. His proves on
the battle field is matter of admiration
and astonishmcnt, not only to his own
countrymen, but The people Of the civilized
world while his frankness, generosity and
humanity, are alike the admiration Of all
True. he makes no pretensons TO States
manshp, but like all truly great and noble
minds, is dislrus,ful of his own ability. In
this particular-as in many others-there
is striking similarity between him and the
Father of his Country" Who, then, will
not support such man, when the choice
is between him and drilled politician:-
one who is ever ready to turn his face north
or south, as the White or Black sail prom
Uses best TO catch the popular breeze! very
few, we trust, and believe.
The name Of MILLARD FILLMORE, of
New York, is associated with that of Gen.
Taylor, for the second office in the gift of
the people--,he Vice Presidency. In the
persons of both these distinguished gentle.
men, the beauty of our system of govern,
ment is happily exemplifed. WILLARD
FILLMORE is self.made man. lie is Of
humble origin, and by his own talents and
energy, has worked his way TO the high
position he now occupies. As member
Of Congress. he won for himself the es.
TEEN and respect of men of all parties. In
his native State. no one stands higher in
public estimation, and he now holds one Of
the most honorable and responsible offices
in the State, to which he was elected, last
year, by majority of upwards Of thirty
thousand votes
Such are the men. whose nominations,

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Patrio, gives the following yer.
sion of Col. Bentons pledge to support the
nominees of the Locofoco Convention:
1.-THE call for COL Benton, am told, brought
"Old Bullion" 10 an upper window. He gave
out his thanks for the honor extended TO him. bu.
the venerable editor of the Union, it is said with
lantern in hand, exclaimed: Come down, Sem
ator; and tell as how Missouri will go' "Ah! is
that the editor Of the Union who calls?" ex>
claimed the Senator. "Hs reminds me OF old
Diogenes with his lantern looking about the
streets Of Syracuse for an honest man! Missouri
will 60 right sir, she is always right. Good night
sir! Good night, gentlemen all! thank you
for the honor you have done me-
The company also called on Senator Dix,
of New York, who gave them "cold
bath" after the fashion following:
In making his appearance, Mr.. Dix begged
the democracy Of Washington, and his felow.ci..
liens from other portions Of she Union, TO ex.
cuse the manner in which he appeared before
them, as he had risen from his bed, and, in order
that he might not keep them waiting he had pu.

hands upon. He said he felt greatly indebted
to them for the honor they had done him by this
call.

that no one could feel deeper interest than him.

can people; and it would naturally be expected
that he should make some reference 10 the SUBJ
ject.
He was disposed 10 meet this expectation, so
far as il was proper for him at this time 10 do so.
1t was well known that the State Of New York
had no participation in these nominations, and
that her delegates had gone home 10 consult with
the democracy. by whom they were constituted.

He entertained an earnest desire and had free.
ly expressed it, that these consultations might
result in maintaining the ascendency of the dem>

doubt we should soon have response from them,
and he desired for himself 10 assure the democ>
racy OF Washington that no effort on his part
would be spared TO uphold The integrity of the
democratic party and The ascendency OF its prin
ciples With these few remarks, and with a
repetition Of his thanks for the honor they had
done him, he wished them all good night.

WING NATIONAL CONVENTION.
FOR THE REPUBLICAN,.

PHILADELPHIA, June Z.
The delegates composing this Convention met
at IL o'clock to day, at the place appointed for
the purpose. A temporary organization was had
by appointing john A. COLLIER, OF New York,
President pro tenn, and JAMES HARLAN, Of KY,
Secretary.
The Convention was opened by prayer by Dr.
BRAINARD.
A committee, composed OF one delegate from
each State, was appointed to report permanent
officers for the Convention. After which, an
adjournment took place until o'clock, P. M.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Nothing but the convention is thought Of The
commite appointed to report officers for the Con.
venton, recommended Gov. Moreheod, of North
Carolina, TO be President; one Vice President
from each State and twelve Secretaries.
A committee was then appointed to examine
the credentials of the Delegates from the several
States The only difficulty which appears to exist
is in the case OF Texas, which State is represen
ted by the Delegation from Louisiana. The de-
bate took place on the question OF Vice Presiden,
from Texas, but it was finally agreed TO reserve
the discussion Of the right Of representation until
after the report OF the committee.
The Convention adjourned until o'clock to
morrow morning.
PHILADELPHIA, June 8, A. NJ.
The committee on crededtials made their re
port this morning. A long debate ensued upon
that portion Of the report which authorizes ma
jorly OF the delegates in States not fully repre-
scented to cast the whole electoral vote OF the State
The previous question was finally moved and sus
tanned, and that clause OF the report was mega
lived by vote Of $50 to 127. By resolution
the delegates from Louisiana were allowed to cas-
the electoral vote Of Texas. Some dispute having
arisen relative to the right Of the delegates from
Louisiana and Missouri* to take their seats,
considerable time was spent in the dry details o
confirming the delegates. On motion the, Con

PEACE.

We are truly happy 10 be able to an.
nounce to our readers, in this mornings
paper, the passage of the treaty Of Peace,
through both Houses Of the Mexican Con-
gress, thus happily bringing the war to
close.
The treaty was passed in the Chamber
of Deputies, on the evening of the 10Th
ult., by vote of 81 to 35, and the Senate,
on the 25th ult., by vote of % to 5.
Every true friend of the country will be
truly gratifed at this news. War is great
ly to be deplored, in any event-even
when justly brought about, and waged for
high and holy purposes; but when unneces.
sarily begun, and controlled by men who
seek personal and political advancement,
at the expense of the blood and treasure of
our common country, it is truly deplora-
BILE.
The war is now concluded. Peace is
restored, and the public may with perfect
propriety, and will, look to its origin, pro.
gress and result. There is no danger of
"giving aid and comfort" TO the enemy by
strict examination of these points now,
and as the best teacher is experience, care
ful looking into the subject, will enable the
people to see how they have been imposed
upon by those to whom they confided their
interests. The time is anspicious for such
investigation; a chief magistrate for the
country is soon to be chosen--and as the
evils of a weak and designing Presiden,
will be laid open and exposed, the charac'
ter and capacity of the aspirants will be
more strictly scrutinized, to the end tina,
we may have man at the head of affairs
"who has no friends to reward-no enc
mics 10 punish-and no interests to sub.
serve but those Of the country" Happily
would it have been for the country had
this been the case with our present Pres
dent. What thousands of valuable lives
and millions of treasure would it not have
saved US!
But we have strayed from our purpose
we only designed congratula!ing the coun
try upon the restoration of peace, and the
return Of the remnants of our gallant ar
my to the bosom of their friends and rel
a,ves. BY the next arrival, we expect ,c
hear of their embarkation for home.
OF The Glasgow News contains petit
ton TO the P. M. General, for the establish.
ment of mail route direct from that place
to Bloomington. Macon county. If the
prayer of the petitioners is granted, as il
surely ought to be, large portion of coun.
try which has long labored under great
inconvenience for the want Of mail facil.
tiles, will be greatly accommodated. Let
such an array of names be sent on from
the route as there will be no resisting by
the Department. Our members of Con.
gress would be rendering their constituents
wholesome service by assisting to increase
the mail routes in Missouri There is not
section Of the State but needs additional
mail routes. We especially charge cousin
James S. with this business.
