HoN. F. w. W.PIcKENs-We see it stated that
this gentleman has declined The mission to Rus
sia, recently rendered him in the kindest terms
by President Buchanan. This puts to rest all
the calumnies and ISLANDERS which have been
uttered against Col. Pickens in reference to his
patriotic and disnterested national Democracy.
When he presided at that Convention in Colun.
bia, which the "Immortal Forty,Eight" called
together, for the purpose of sending delegates to
the National Democratic Convention, he was
charged with an ambition for Federal Office and
honors. Once before he had shown his indiffer-
ence to these tempting allurements by declining
the mission to Great Britain, offered him by
President Polk. His accusers had no such evi.
dence of their disinterestedness or dsinclination
to FEDERAL honors, for we do not know that any
of them have ever declined such things, even
dewp to the publication of the public laws or
mail agency, It is not that these men believe
their charges, but they are anxious, by making
them, to deter patriots from doing their duty to
their country.
We regret that Col Pickens is so much disin-
clined to accept these honors. He would do
credit to the American Republic abroad, and
win for himself distinguished honors. By ac-
cepting these high Offices he would, too, have
conferred honor ON his State. We therefore,
regret his REFUSAL deeply regret it and it ought
to be source of regret to the whole State

THE CHARLESTON EVENING NEWS AND
S0IIrII CAROLINA QEMQCB ACY.


SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRACY.
The Evening Nep,, in m article which welay be-
fore our readers this week. falls into several errors to
which VIC would briefly call attention.
First, it is Incorrectly declared that the State was
carried into the Cincinnati Convention "in commital
of it to party supremacy or dietation." No such
committa has occurred, either directly or impliody
On the contrary, the policy Of tho States uniting in
that Convention WAS again and again coupled with
the express abnegation of any purposes Of party af
fliation. As we have before said, tho main object
was to advance Southern unanimty and Southern
power for the good of tho whole country it is truc
but especially for the veal of section and
its peculiar interests The comments of that portion
of tho South Carolina Press which advocated this
measure, the resolutions Of the Convention held at
Columbia md the and conduct of our delegates
at Cincinnati, confidently offered in evidence as
to the truth Of tho position We here take. Upon
closer inspection, the Neps will abundant to
recant its charge in this regard at least in so far
the intention and spirit of the Carolina Conventionists
are considered. It is equally incorrect to conclude
that tho State is by implication committed to the die
tation Of the Democratic party The feoling Of the
great majority In South Carolina is assuredly Of
sympathy with that party in most Of its high aims
But while ready to support 1t in the advancement Of
such aims, no one ever dreamed of upholding it or
its agents in wrong. The tone of the whole Southern
Democratic Press in relation to Gov. WALKER's Kan
policy, is enough to show that the South although
forming the bulk of the socaled National Democra-
cy, lends countenanco to that Governors acts
where they impinge upon Southern Rights; and this
too without asking whether these acts originated with
the Governor himself put forth through him by
the very head of the exstant Democratic Adminstfa-
ton. As is the South so are the conservative South
ern Rights Democrats Of South Carolina: faithful to
tho Democratic party only where it is faithful to ua.
Secondly. the News makes some random shots in
speaking of the mosgreuesu and complaeent aasump-
ton Of heparty In South Carolina which insisted upon
the States being represented in the General Demo-
cratic Convention. The movement was gotten up
quietly and without concerted effort; yet It prevailed
wherever tested, with two three exceptions IF it
be objected that the primary meetings were meagre,
and in some cases they certainly were,-we suggest
per contra that there almost meetings at all
in opposition to the measure although it was urged in
several prominent quarters to hold such meetings and
although it was advised to assemble an opposition
Convention at Columbia. Even the proposition to
meet in Convention at Columbia and simply cast
vote for the States favorte, FRANKLIN PIERCE, met

The evidence of his guilt is overwhelming.
He was surprised and taken by the police
before he had dreamed that he was under
suspicion, and had no time to hide or dcs-
troy the evidence of his guilt. A large
amount of counterfeit paper and bogus coin,
as well as the dyes, crucibles, and other inn
plements of countcrfeitiag, were found on
his premises. "A great number Of letters
were also discovered, which implicate sew

other citizens of high standing The sep

1t is very seldom that man that has

sued through life with more envy, vituper-
alton, slander and abuse, by the Democrat
lie press, hundred thousand times. The
most disgraceful and utterly groundless
slander ever chsrged upon the now dead
patriot and statesman was concocted and
put in circulation by James Buchanan,
whom this James d. Clay supported for
the Presidency, the announcement of which
shocked the moral sense of the whole
country. The worst thing the Republican
Press ever said about him was to call him
"Judas Buchanan Clay" The epithet is
extremely sarcastic, we admit, but not
more so than the facts warrant If the
editor of the Democrat was not lost to all
sense of shame his check would have tin
gled when he penned the above paragraph,
as it must have brought to his remem-
brance the shameful abuse and slander
heared upon the head of the noble sire of

his death, was all false. Did not the
