The Nomination in South Carolina,

The Charleston Mercury thus heartily endorses
Mr.. Buchanan. The nomination for the VicePresi-
dency had not then been received
The telegraph, yesterday, announced that James
Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, had, upon the seven
teenh ballot of the National Democratic Convention,
received the nomination for the Presidency. This
announcement will fall somewhat Unexpectedly upon
the of the people of this State, whose preference
for Mr.. Pierce in consideration of his fathfulness
10 the constitutional rights of the South have been
constantly expressed. To it brings surprise
whatever and our readers will very well remember
how frequently we have expressed the conviction
that MIR. Pierce would not receive the nomination, in
the face of those who urged his claims as a reason
why the State should participate in the nominating
Convention.
Next to Mr.. Pierce, the expectation, and, we may
add, to the preferences of the people of the State
were for Mr.. Douglas, as who had boldly plant
ed himself upon the side of the South in the pending
contests with Abolition. The Columbia Convention
certainly favored Mr. Douglas in most unequivo-
cal manner and It's leaders did not hesitate to express
their preference accordingly But he has shared the
fate of Mr. Pierce and thus the departure from wise
and established pocy-the first concession to mere
temporary expediency-has been rebuked by the sig
nal disappointment Of those who led the movement.
IN the very opening of the happy revolution which
Iney protested to inaugurate, they find themselves
completely at fault in their hopes, their arguments,
and their calculations
The Mercury, and those who agree with ii, in the
vi Vic euGlIe uepeuueHCe VI any pony GIL
tangements, thus occupy far different position to-
ward the nomination OF Buchanan from those who
have predicaed their hopes and action upon the
cess OF his competitors We can accept and endorse
MS nomination with perfect consistency of principle
ana ana without grimace. They bound TO endorse
ilm' while lamenting his nomination and secretly
turning over their fallen hopes We can support him

PuoIc career in present circumstances as
oF aOie man as could be presented to the support

so, he didn't do it. There is a difference between
