NEXT GOVERNOR.

We see that The Edeciiclu Mtormer has put
the Ia;nc of Hon. T. w. Pirkens at lis banner
head. as candidate for Governor Of South CA
rolina. With all our heart we will support this
nomination, in and out Of the Legislature. Col.
Pickens is, at this time, the true and proper en-
poEent Of the Democratic party OF South Caro-
lima. lie gave the Convention movement his
hearty support, whilst others, who arc seeking
this office, spurned it con'emptuously. flc Is
the warm supporter Of Buchanan and BrecEc,l-
ridge, the nominees of the National Democratic
Convention for President and Vice President.
EIe is in favor of giving the election Of Presi-
dent TO the people, in South Carolina, as il has
been done in every other State in The Union.
lie is in favor of an equal representation of the
people of South Carolina, in both branches OF
The Legislature. He is in favor Of popular ed
ucaIion, and desires 10 see the children of The
Republic educated by the Republic. Col. Pick.
ems is 4 statesman Of experience and enlarged
views, high talents and burning patriotism. lie
has shown his di<inlcrestrdncs and devotion 10
his State, by refusing the highest Federal honors
within the gift Of the President. He is no Of
flee seeker, and is ro cardicale for the office CT
Governor, but will feel himself bound TO accept
the Office if rendered 10 him by the Legislature.
He comes from distinguished Revolutionary
stock, gIorously identified with the history Of
South Carolina. lie is gentleman Of large
fortunc--one Of the largest cotton planters in
South Carona--and can afford 10 acccp. the Of
flee Of Governor. and sustain the ancient hospi-
tally of the old Palmetto State. In Il word, he
