TI -i K cannot fail to have seen that modern abolition ism with rare and few exceptions among Us advocates, has become, to a great extent, purely a political question." That many , of :the leading abolitionists are active political partizahs, full identified with, and constitu ting no. inconsiderable .part of one of the poli- " tical partjes of the country, can no longer ad mit of doubt. They address themselves to the prepossessions and prejudices of the com munitv in which they live against slavery in the abstract, and, availing themselves of these nrennnsessinna and nreiudices. aro struggling to control political events. All the lovers the union of the-States, and all patriotic citi tho slave-holdin or non- , slave-holding States, who are ardently attach rl r.nnpfrf i ristitntions. must view with in dignant reprobation the use made of such an nfhf.n- ncritrHlon with such obiects. "T.he at tempts made to intioduce it for discussion in to the Federal Legislature have been met m " the nrooer smrit. not ouW by tjoutuern i.ep resentatives but bv a hinre portion of the TVorthm-n lnlrTtinn? there is at the head of the Federal Government a Chief Magistrate, who. ia the patriotic discharge of his ties, has placed the seal ot his unqualified con demnation upon ouy attempted action-by Congress upon tho subject of slavery in any manner or to any -extent whether existing within the States or within the District of Columbia.

In regard toother powers, which at different times the Federal Government has assumed ' or attempted to exercise, the same reasoning may be applied. Among these may be enu merated to power assumed so construct woiks of Internal Improvement within the States, by means of appropriations drawn from the National Treasury; the power of '-abridging the freedom of. speech," secured by the Constitution to every citizen, by enacting Iaw3 to suppress ailedgcd sedition, or the more recent attempts to enact them under the more plausible pretence of "securing the free dom of elections." I shall most cheerfully co-operate wiih the Legislative and Judicial departments of the State Government, by ail the constitutional and legal means within the competency of the Executive, in their efforts to confine the ac tion of the State within proper limits, and to resist the oncroachmenta of the Federal Gov ernment, upon her reserved rights of sover eignty. I shall as cheer fully co-operate w ith them in all such measures as shall be calculated to in sure economy in the expenditures of the State Government, strict accountability on the part of public officers, the promotion of vhtae, the suppression of crime, and the developc ment of the wealth, the resources, and the en ergies of the State. are acting hasTuFused into the administration of the State Government more of the demo cratic principle of immediate and direct agen cy by the people than existed under the for mer Constitution. Instead of delegating, as the old constitution did, the power of appoint ing many impoitant ministerial and munici pal officers to the judicial tribunals and other appointing agents, the people are uow their own agents and make the appointments by popular elections. The higher judicial func tionaries held their offices by a tuiiure restric ted to a term of years, and uot, as formerly, by the tenure for life. These are important changes in the fundamental law of the State. In practice they have, .thus far, produced no inconvenience, but have worked well. In the administration of the State Govern ment I regard it as fortunate that there are but few subjects of internal policy upon which there exists much diversity of opinion. The encouragement of a "well regulated system of Internal Improvement," and the promotion of "knowledge, learning, and villus," as "being essential to the 'preservation of Republican institutions," are duties imposed by the Con stitution of tha State upon her.public function aries, which they aro not at liberty to disre gard. '.Under the deep conviction that those are subjects of general and pervading interest to the whole people of the State, t shall regard it to bo my duty to lend my aid iu executing tho injunctions of the Constitution in a liberal spirit. No ohje-ts are, iu my judgment, more worthy of the public patronage and sup port. 1 he preservation of public credit and of a sound currency in the State will uudouhercdiy be among our highest duties. It is a prevail ing error to suppose that a multiplication of Banks, and an excessive issue of paper circu lation, can advance the public prosperity, or afford any permanent relief to the community ia which thoy exist. Instead of a blessing, excessive banking 'generally proves to be a enrse. The bloated state of appareut pros perity which they temporarily excite, our ex perience has shown, has invariably been fol lowed by derangement of the money market, depreciation of currency, a nd finally by severe pressure ana guttering mulcted on the people. l o prevent the recurrence of such a state of things it wdl be my desire by all tho constitu iionai ana legal restrictions which can bo tarowD around them, to see that the Bank wnich may exist in the State shall be based upon a solid foundation, and confine their operations within their reasonabla means to meet their responsibilities promptly. I will, at an early day, avail myself of an appropriate occasion to make to the General Assembly of the State, now in sessiou, a communication' touching subjects which may seem to require legislative action at their present session.' ". . . It will be my duty, under the Constitution of the State, to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." Tho Executive is - in vested with no legislative discretion or power. The laws which the General Assembly shall piss, it is made his duty fo execute, even though he may '.differ ia opinion with that branch of the State Government ia regard to their wisdom or policy. This duty I shall fa ithf oily perform. fellow-citizens, and invoking the aid and gui dance of the Supreme Kuler ot the universe, in whose hands are the destinies 01 ments,and of men, I enter upon the discharge of the high duties, which have been assignee me by the People. ' ; POLITICAL. "WHIG" REASONS. A western editor gives as a reason why the imprlrnn Svstnm should be revived, that it would be of special benefit to the foir of Wheeling. .The reason why a National Bank should be established is because it will benefit Wall street brokers, and a few other illustrious financiers. Pretty good reasons, to be sure, whv the South should suffer an onerous tax, and the liberties of the country be sold to a moneyed corporation! A reason given by a "uhir" editor why the Democrats should not succeed, is that the day ot "horn spoons" will rPhirn. We should be erlad to know how much more valuable an irredeemable "icfif'g" magistrate, sh;n.vlasier is than a horn spoon. Ihe des s high du- -pj.H.is of those who "fed on roots," and suffered every privation while fighting for Ii berty, are not to be terrified at the sight of a horn suoon. or by "whig" croakings about it This may do for the gulls but ihe Demo cratic Republicans preter "the humble cott igr while blest with liberty, to gilded palaces sur rounded with the ensigns of slavery." .V.

Even conceding to our opponents the vote for this officer, ihe live Federalists from New Jersey, who hold the Governors certificate in defiance of the twice clear expressed will of the people wc say, even conceding them these, on the vote of organization, aud still they will be found iu the minority. This although per haps not pregnant with any immediate evil, lest it should be made use of as a precedent, should not, aud we are well assured, w ill not be permitted. If to Governors is conceded the right of saying who are elected, and his certificate be considered not only prima facie, but . absolute evidence of election, however clear the popular will to the contrary, the case ia New Jersey affords lamentable evidence of how easy, in corrupt hands, the minority may rule the majority, aud the people have the national legislature organized by ihe elec tion of ofSceis to preside over its delibera tion, whose principles and purposes are dia metrically opposite to their own.

THE ELECTION OF SPEAKER. The election in New York, held yesterday to-day, and closing to-morrow, will determine the fate of the Whig party. Should the voice of the people there prove against them, they will in all probability tollow the advice of one or iu-?ir organs in mis cuv given immediately upon ref-eipt of the disastrous result of the late "elections in this State and in Maryland, nt once to disband. Fatal and blighting to iheir prospects as were ihose elections, preceded as they h id been by a ateiloo defeat m th entire Nouth and South-west, hope still clunj; in them that New York, rfddefi ns her citizens were by coiporations, might be retained in her present unuaturai opposition to the Gov ernment. Buoyed by this hope, and boastiii" of their strength in the new Congress, they are uow using desperate efforts to carry the Km pirc. State. But will they succeed, and if they should ate they strengthened even then into formidable opposition? A sli jht glance at the States will show that they are nearly or quite two to one against their principles and in favor of those advanced and maintained by the Administration. And their party strength in the next Congress, which is disproportion- able in comparison with the last expression of the voice of the people, will be seen to be in a derided minority. It is unnecessary to refer to a tabular state ment to prove this. The New York Ameri can, a warm and accredited orga n of the Fed eral party, immediately preceding the late election in Maryland said, that upon Mary land and Mississippi depended the majority of the next House of Representatives. Ac cording to this test they are vanquished, even should they succeed iu Mississippi, which, to say the least, is extremely doubtful. Iu the former State, where they claimed six out of the eight candidates, they sncc?ded fn electing but three and notwithstanding one of their leading papers publicly deel ired that unless there were six Whigrs elected fVoii Marvlnnd and two from Mississinni: th IDniftrirv Writ IWying confidentiy .upoa the support of my be Democratic, we still find them m the open the nioft r.;;cn and tlagrant violations ot the ballot Lox. As to the contested seat from this Stat-, by Messrs. Ingersoll and Naylor, both holding certificates, both will doubtless be excluded until their case is investigated. This, the recent election, if there were previously doubt, has been rendered an easy task. No one who looks at the bold and startling proof of fraud which the last poll in the Third Con gressional District has so indelibly stamped upon the election of 1538, can doubt as to who should and who doubtless will be admit. 1 . .1 T 1 V ft reu u a scr.i i;j tne House. ro clearly nas Mr. Iagersr ll's case been made out, th;:t wc have heard it intimated that Mr. Naylor will not push his pretended claim. Thus it will be seen under any and every aspect of the case, the Democracy command a majority in the beginning and a majority that will strengthen as time affords an opportunity for the exposure of frauds that will drive federal claimants from the doors of the House in shame if not in disgust FOR THE SOBTH CAROLINIAN.

He is the faithful exponent of the Constitution and consistent defender of Southern Rights. 2nd. He has declared uncompromising hostilifv lo the re-charter of a National Bank in any shape. Srd. He has pledged himself to veto any law which Congress may pass on the subject of Abolition in the District of Colum bia, and to resist by all the authority he holds, every attempt of the Northern fanatics to interfere with Southern Rights. 4th. He is in favor of the Sub-Treasury, which is a total separation of the moirev nV rlio from the control of Ba nkin Institutions, thu3 seeurin-T tbat mony for the objects for which it is collected n3melv, to defrnv to exnensps of the Government of the people's choice. ! 5th.

' ; - Resolved, ; That we are opposed to Henry Clay, for the following amon many other reasons: 1st. Because he sustains the odious doctrine of Federalism, a3 advocated by Hamilton and Adams. 2nd.

He is in favor of a fifty million Bank and other chartered monopolies, with exclusive privileges, contrary to the genius of our Republican Constitution, and at the expense of the people. 6th. He is in leajjue with the fanatical demons and crusa ders of the North, ia the cause of Abolition, who are straining every nerve to consum mate a scheme that will end in disunion, ues solation and blood. 7th. He has always voted against reducing the price of the poor refuse lanos (belonging to the General Gov ernment) which would not bring the Govern ment price, $1 25 per acie, thereby prevent in" thousands of poor honest men from gel- ting homes for themselves anil families, who couid not, and were not able to give high prices.
