The Charleston News says I'VE do not
speak unadvisedly when we say that the
South Carolina delegation will not submit to
the nomination of Douglas, and that it will
insist that the platform of the Convention
shall contain an endorsement of the bred
Scott decision, that the Southern people are
entitled TO have their slave property protec-
ted in the Territories" This paragraph
seems to have aroused the St. Louis Repub-
lican, Douglas Democratic organ. 1t re-
spends to its Charleston second cousin in the
following style:-"Well, if South Carolina
will not submit to the nomination of Doug
las, and she must have a platform to SUIT
herself, let her delegates walk out OF doors
and air themselves. 1t may do them good.
The Democratic party will at least try to
get along without her, as it has done before
now"

In the other precincts in the County no pre-

Gentlemen Of Senate and House 81 Delegates:
On the 18th day Of February last, upon in
formation believed to be reliable, issued i
requisition on the Executive authority q the
State of Ohio, for Francis Merriam and Owen
Brown, two ofthe persons engaged with John
Brown in the raid at Iarper's Ferry. IN
reply to that rcquisit0n, have received =
communication from Gov. Dennison 81 that
State, declining to surrender these iugltlyes
from Justice, for reasons which are, ~ my
Judgment, rs frivolous as those wh!c! were
assigned by GOV. kirkwOod, ~ iowa, aud
which, taken together, demonstrate deter
mined purpose on the part II the Governors At
these States to refuse compliance with the
express provisions Of the Constitution q the

those provisions
Gov. Dennison informs me that the reasons
for his conclusion are fully set forth il the

The Lynchburg Eirginian says, there is
no good reason why, if we cannot immedi-

ploy in commerce to all almost indefinite ex-
tent. Baltimore, Alexandria, Norfolk, Rich
mond, Charleston and New Orleans, ought
to do all the importing for the South and
their merchants should set about the work at
