The UNION CONVENTION on SATURDAY
The meeting of the Union men of avidson
which assembled at the Courthouse on SataT-
day to nominate candidates to represent this
county in the State Convention. was unusual
Iy large,-the courtroom being densely
crowded-and was characterized By a de-
gree of earnest enthusiasm and a uuanimi;y
OF sentiment that we have never seen equal
led upon any occasion.
The Hon. ANEREw Ewing, Gov NELL s.
BROWN and Hon. RUSSELL HoUsToS were put
In nomination, and were chosen by acclama-
ton as the Union candidates for the C0nyen-
ton. On being notified of this fact they
came forward and addressed She meeting in
the most glowing and eloquent terms, accept
ing the nominations, and pledging themselves
to feithfuI discharge Of the trust commit
ted to their hands. They uttered many noble
and patriotic sentiments, which were APP
plauded to the very echo.
The following gentlemen were appointed
to assist the candidates in canYassing the
county Messrs. L. NJ. TEMPLE, C. W. Nance.

one Of the leading ministers in the Presby-

orthodox upon the questions at issue, that it
was Tequ. sted for publication by the session
and congregation to which be misiyters. We
give the extract without comment, for it is
one Of those bold statements OF heresy, that
must, from It's naked deformity, startle every
American who appreciates the genius of our
republican institutions. And yet the idea
here advanced. st01tiing as Il is, is no new idea
to South Carolinians. 1t is the real flnd0mAp-
tai gTisrgncs which has been the cause of most
of their bitterness against the Government.
They have never been able to hear the idea
of being ruled By the ps2ple. They have al
WAYS maintained that Representatives are
appointed, not TO ascertain what the will of
the people Is. but what ought 10 bs-not to do
what tie people think is right, but what the
representatives. think is right There Is a sig
n;fcancc in these utterances at this time, as
shadowing forth the ideas that must prevail
in a Southern Confederacy TO satisfy the peo-
pie Of South Carolina; aud it also explains
the rumors we have bad. from various, quar-
ters. of propositions for establishing limit
I'd monarchy in the South. DR.. Smyih said:
