The Caroiinfan.y

In the Carolinian Of last week, the late Editor
Col. A. G. SUMNER, in retiring from the chair, in
roduces 10 its readers, VIM. B. JOHNSTON, the for.
mer Editor of this paper, and hespeaks for his
cessor, the continued favors of numerous contri.
butors, and encouraging smiles of former patrons.
Mr.. JOHNSTON follows in graceful introducto-
ry, and states that the Carolinian, will continue
'true to the Democratic faith" AS the founda.
ton Of his belief, he points "to the peaceful and
prosperous condition ofour country" and thinks
:the retiring administration deserve, and will re-
ceive the gratitude Of their fellow citizens"
Whilst he rejoices, "in the prosperity Of our
country, and devouily prays for a long cort.nu-
ance Of her undivided greatness as a nation," he
earnestly recommends, as be did, early in 1947,
while conducting this Journal. the meeting of a
Southern Convention, "as the true policy of the
slavehclding States," to arrest the lawless and
unpr voked aggressions of the North upon our
rights, to dspei the dark clouds that thickpn the
political horizon, and which have assumed recent
y such threatening aspect If this policy is
not adopted, and speedy union not formed in de.
fence Of just rights, he asserts that "disaster deg.
radiation, and wide spread ruin will eventually over
whelm the planting interests Of the whole South
and South West" He breaks ground e; rlyon
the Bank question, which occupied sopuctI atten-
ton during the recent session Of the Legislature,
and starting from the Democratic creed-"separa.
tion from all Banks"-he gives US to understand
that the Caroinan hencefortb, will be opposed to
the re chartering OF that instut;on.
He promises 'that the agricultural interests of
the country will not be forgoten-and that the
readyp pen the former Editor will continue its
services in that department. The mercantile
class of his readers are assured, 'that no labor or
expense will be spared in procuring the earliest
Intelligence from all parts cf the commercial
world"
Mr.. JOHNSTON has our best wishes and kindest
regards in his new undertaking. We feel assured
that his skill, experience and attention to the in
terest of the Carolinian will sustain its high char
acter and be duly appreciated by its patrons. That
paper is extensively known, and has done much
in moulding the public opinion Of the State, aid
we predict for it, under the management of it's new
Editor, continuation of that brilliant career it has
SO long run.

what the Lexington Observer disclaims for
him, he would be the last man in the world
to attempt it, But, as we have already
said, we cannot conceive Of any motive
which could induce him to desert the quiet
shades Of Ashland for the stormy floor of the
Senate chamber, but desire to close his
life in the service Of his country, under the
glorious era of good feeling and constitutional
government about to be revived by Presi-
dent Taylor, when party spirit will be ex-
and the base practice Of proscrip-
ton for opinions sake be utterly abandoned.

it may, to the new administration, whether
from the open foe or the false friend, (if there
should be any such, the National Wing

which way the Taylor wind blows on the slavery
question: ~
clear exposition Of the relations which have subsist-
ed, from the foundation of the Government mp to
the present time, between the save-holding and the
non slaye-holding States, and Is valuable In his
torical point of view II Is temperate In tone and
sentiments merit which public rulnor before its
appearance had pronounced II to be devoid of Nor
do we find In 1t any thing like threatening of dis
solution OF the Union as the alternative OF resric-
ting slavery In the new Territories, which newspa
per report had ascribed to II in advance II states
with great force OF language, what the writer be-
eves will be the certaln consequence of perssting IN
the crusade now carried on against slavery In the
non holding States.
We are sure that the Northern people when they
come TO read Mr.. Cnlhouns portraiture OF emanc-
patton in the Southern States, will pause and reflect
before they proceed any further In their against
slavery. The masses In the Free States, ii they
could be mnde 10 understand the true effects of
emancipation, would never consent TO see their
Southern brethren placed In such terrible position,
by any act of theirs. To suppose otherwise would
be TO rank them amongst the enemies Of the South.
All they want Is enlightenment upon the question Of
emancipation and its effects. This address furnishes
vast fund OF information upon the subject.
In the meantime hope that our Northern brefi-

G EN-. TAYLOR'S ADMINISTRATORS

| In less than one short month Gen. Taylor will
|have entered upon the high and responsible duties
to which he has been called by the voice of this Great
People. We doubt not but that he will call to his aid
| by his Cabinet appointments, some of the wsest OF
the nation. Believing, as we do, that he will have
at heart only the good of the country which he
will preside shall expect to give him hearty and
cheerful support Our feeble efforts were directed TO
bring about such result and we could but rejoice at
the consummation Of our wishes, and to see at the
head of Affairs whose character assimilaes
err in our humble judgment to that Of the Father
Of his Country than any man living; who, taking
for his guide the "Constitution Of the country and
the acts Of earlier Presidents" and being governed
by the landmarks thus set him, cannot materially
err and possessing, as he does, in eminent de-
gree, character for decision and integrity, we can
but hope that his administration may draw TO II the
support of all parties We do not expect to be driv-
from his support by any act not material in ITSELF
although we may not agree with him or approve OF
it, for there are many matters Of minor import about
which persons may disagree, and yet the one receive
the support Of the other in all important particulars
To those who may be disposed to condemn in adj
vance, ii any, and who would rather find fault than
approve, we would say give him fair trial-do unto
him as you would In similar circumstances be done
byand we doubt not, being actuated by such spirit
you will find much less to condemn than you would
otherwise, We hope his wisdom may avert the dan
gers now besetting us, and guide the Ship of State
safely through the rough Of actioniss of every
hue and from every quarter.
