Nomination for Governor.

We publish below the nomination of our
fellow citizen, Col. JAMES CHEsNUT, jr, from
the Charleston Nercury, of the Cd inst, for
Governor. Among several names already
mentioned for this highly responsible position,
we know of none combining tho various quail
fications to a greater degree. AS that writer
expresses, "Col. @. is a man of sound Judgment,
exalted patriotism" q
His opportunities rs a member of the Exccu-
tive Council, will be of great advantage, espo-
cially with reference to the military-now the
right arm of the States defence and guardian
ship against the danger which threatens her
welfare. In his hands we feel the honor and
safety of the State would be in good keeping.
And now, if ever in our history, is required
administrative abilities, frmness and decision
of character with exalted and undertaking pa
triotism. W., therefore, heartily approve of
the suhoned: a.

"7'o the Editor of the Mercury: beg leave,
respectfully, to second the nomination made in
your paper Of the Goth ut., by Cotton Plan
ter of James Chestnut, jr, for our next Cover
nor. During the past four months it has been
my good fortune not having known him pre-
viously) to have frequent interviews and some
correspondence with this gentleman as a mem
Der of the Executive Council, on matter of
public concernment, and have been much
impressed with his sound Judgment, practical
knowledge, courteous demeanor and exalted
patriotism.
AS your correspondent justly states, he has
thoroughly Informed himself in reference to
the military resources of the State, and this
knowledge will be invaluable at a time when
South Carolina, in al! probability, will be called
upon to put forth all her energies Of self.de-'
fence against tho inroads of our vandaI foe; or,
perchancc, to- suffer, as Virginia, the noble
mother of States, has been called upon to do
during the past twelve months. In either
event, in James Chestnut, jr, we shall have a
man at the helm equal to the crisis, and who
will, feel confident, devote his time, his tai
ents and his energies in maintaining the honor
of our beloved State untarnished"

Under these circumstances the families Of
these gallant soldiers should bc the care Of
those who, from whatever cause, arc allowed to
remain at home, enjoying all the comforts Of
life and the safety Of a retired position; for,
though some of US may very properly be ex-

there will be no excuse at the bar Of God. =
