The CHARLESTON CoSvESTIoN.-Some papers OBJ
ect to holding the next Democratic National Con-
:venton in Charleston, for the following groundless
reasons:
"1st The extreme heat in the latitude of Charles
ton, at the time of year usually chosen for holding
the Convention
"2d The prevalence in South Carolina of the
extreme ultraism of the fire eaters which, it is urg
ed will be brought to bear upon the Delegates, and
exercise an undue influence over their action"
The New York Journal Of Commerce is opposed
to changing the location, but thinks May too late,
and that some day in April could be safely named.
Our own opinion is that carly in May would be a
pleasant season in Charleston. The Journal does
but simple justice to the Southern people IN answer
ing the second objection in the following manner:
1--WE would sooner look for breach of hospital-
ty, for violation of law and disregard of public
order. in any Northern community, and we will
take the character of Southern men as full guar
antee against any disturbance whatever may be the
action of the Convention" -

The Register declines to say who it is for for
Governor. 1t is too busily engaged just now in
defeating the Democracy in mag gnation, to point to
the man of its choice We take it for granted,
however, that the Editor is Satisfied with his policy
of running professed Democrats for office against
regularly nominated Democrats and that this policy
will be abandoned. Some Know Nothing or rene
gade Whig will be next taken up and sacrificed.
We predict that the Know Nothing candidate for
Governor will De either George Davis, ESQ.,, or Gen.
Alfred Dockery. The Charlotte Whig is out for
Gen. Dockery.
The Register asks us who are for for Governor.
1t would not become us, or any one else, to speak
in advance or by authority for the party to which
are proud to belong but as the Register has in
terrogated us, he shall have our opinion and our
preference without hesitation or reservation. We
are for the present able and worthy incumbent,
JOHN w. ELLIS. We know it is rather too soon
to speak of the matter; but we have answered the
Register at once as silence our part might have
led some to msconceive our position and miscon-
strue our motives. No answer was necessary for
the information of friends who kou us, and who
have always done us justice.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

WHEREAS 1t has pleased the everjust and righte-
GUS God to remove from the scenes Of earth to the
solemn realities of an untried state Carma Lane,
lately highly respected member Of our body
Therefore, be it "
Resolced, That while we recognize the hand Of
Him that sits upon the throne on high in the death
of our esteemed fellow member, and while We are
taught thence in humber reverence to bow before
the Holy One yet we can but shed tear Of sorrow
over the new-made grave Of one whose hopes, once
so fair have lately blasted forever.
Resotced That during his short but honorable
career at the University his industry and persever
ance as a student were worthy of imitation, while
his excellent qualities. kindness of heart unstained
morals and manly bearing won for him the esteem
and admiration of all who knew him. =
Resotred, That while we know that for the anguish
caused by the death of those beloved, there is no
solace but in Christian resignation and no balm
but in the soft effuson Of that spirit which say
" Not as will but as Thou wilt" still we would
truly and sincerely sympathise with the family of
the deceased, reminding them that while they mourn
for cherished son and brother, we lament warm
and devoted friend.
Resolred, That copy of the resolutions be sent

"REMINISCENCES OF DANIEL WEBsTER.-The follow
ing conversation occurred at the dinner table where
Mr.. Webster for the first time met Colonel Preston
then new senator from South Carolina. "Colonel
Preston said the great Massachusetts lawyer in his
stateliest manner, II am happy to greet you as
member of the body 10 which it is my pride and
honor to belong but l regret to see that southern
gentlemen often stand aloof from me-" Mr..
Preston answered in polite and deferential terms,
when the other continued: 1.-The truth is, am far
more southern than a northern man, and l think
that should be treated as hail fellow by all nv
southern colleagues" MAY beg to know" said
the other, the grounds upon which yon make this
claim "Certainly," replied Mr. Webster. "In
the first place, am very fond of horse race, and
believe the turf is southern institution. Second
ly, have in my cellar hundred dozen of the best
wine, unpaid for, and that understand to be trait
of southern life Thirdly, before daylight l shall
be under the table, and suppose you arc willing to
admit this to be characteristic of southernerS."
Enough" shouted the other, laughing, "you have
vindcated your claim to be my compatriot."
Some of my readers will recollect the exquisite
manner in which Mr. Webster used to relate the
following: One night, before railroads were built
he was forced to make journey by private convey
ance from Baltimore to Washington. The man who
drove the wagon such an ill-lookng fellow, and
told many stories of robberies and MURDERS that
before they had gone far Mr.. Webster was some
what alarmed. At last the wagon stopped in the
midst of dense wood, when the man, turning sud
denly round to his passenger exclaimed fercely:
Now, sir, tell me who you are" Mr.. Webster re-
piled in faltcring voice, and ready to spring from
the vehicle 81 am Daniel Webster, Member of Con-
gress from Massachusetts" What" rejoined the
driver, grasping him warmly by the hand "are you
Webster? Thank God! thank God! You were
such ugly chap that took you for highway
man."

Governor, was in favor of re-opening the African
slave-trade. In this he departed from the Demo-
cratic platform, which we have before us. In addi
ton to this Gov R. is an ordinary man, did not
stump the State, as Houston did, and is not very
popular personally.
We see that Col. John H. Manly, formerly Of this
City, is of the members elect to the Legislature
from Harris County. Col. Manly, it is understood
is supporter of the administration Of Mr.. Buchan-

SENATOR 1vERsoN ON CONGRESSIONAL INTERVENTION
IN 1s4s.-In speech delivered by Hon A. Iverson
of Georgia, in the House of Representatives of the
United States, on the 26th of July, ls4s when the
House, in Committee of the Whole, had under con-
sideration the bill to organize government for the
Territory of Oregon in reference to the subject of
slavery in the Territories, he said:
Nov, sir, whether the people, in their terrtori-
al capacity. consttutionally rghtfuly exclude
slavery, am willing to leave to the decision of the
Supreme Court, which many gentlemen contend is
the proper and constitutional tribunal for its deci-
sion, or to the consideration and judgment Of the
people themselves. 1t is principle in human ma
ture, powerful as universal, that political action
of communities will be regulated and controlled py
the interests of parties concerned If therefore, it
shall appear that slave labor may be proftably
ployed in these new Territories of the Union, and
the people left free to act they will adopt the
institution of slavery. If on the other hand, it
shall be found that the climate and soil are not ad
apted to the profitable employment of slave labor,
no slaves will ever find their way into the country,
however wide the door may be open for their admis
sion. All that the South, therefore, can or ought
to Seek is that the people of the Territories be left
to decide this most important question for them
selves. If their interest dictates it. slavery will be
established in spite of preudces, either of Mexican
residents those who may emigrate from the States
of this government.
Experience teaches that the Yankee who moves
to and settles at the South, where slavery is prota-
BILE, is as willing and as ready to own slaves-aye,
and to task them, those who have been born
and bred up in their midst. That zeal for human
freedom SO patriotcaly cultivated and proclaimed
in their native land like the courage of Bob Acres,
oozes out at their fingers ends, as soon as they
come under the genial sun of Southern slavery
The promptings of ambition and interest soon over
come the preudices of early education. If slavery
then, cannot be proftably introduced into the
try, it will never go there although you may pass
laws recognizing its existence and protecting its
,oyment.
"If it be profitable, depend upon it the peopl,
will have it in spite Of prejudice if you do not pro
hbit it by Congressional legislation Let, therefore
this exciting, distractng, disturbing subject be lef
to the Judgment and decision of those who will b.
most deeply interested in it and affected by it,
There it will be coolly considered and properly dc
cidcd, and, a Southern man, am willing to trus
the decision and abide the result Let it be KEEP
out of the halls Of Congress; for here, and her
only will the exercise of this dangerous and dspu
ted power put this experiment of Federal Unio
to the severest test"

CHEROKEE MARBLE-The marble of Cherokee is
attracting attention in various sections and Justly So
The white marble quarries of Valley River produce
a superior article wherever the excavations have
been made below the line of atmospheric influences
1t is fine grained and susceptible of very fine pol
ish, and is of snowy whteness. This variety is
fonnd along the range in great quantity. 1t ex-
tends the entire county of Cherokee and into
Georgia There is also found accompanying the
white stratum band of beautiful clouded marble
The ground is rather sky blue with the most deli
cate shades, resembling columns Of smoke cloud;
and is in our judgment, most beautiful article for
ornamental work. There is also on the northeastern
part of the marble belt a flesh colored marble of a
very fine texture. This quarry is located within
some eight or ten miles of the line of the Blue Ridge
Railroad, and Judging from specimens We have seen
dressed and secured we think it susceptible of fine
and elegant polish.
We have no doubt but that these marbles will
make large item of freight should the Blue Ridge
Railroad be pushed forward to completion. Some
of the propreors of these quarres already erect
ing machinery for dressing and polishing these
marbles Franklin (M C) 0brercer. -
