Even awarding to Mr. (•lay nil that his most . nlent Iriemls claim fur him, we cannot see anv good reason why he should supercede Mr. i an Buren, at the approacli nig ele< lion. Air. Van Buren, by tho high minded policy pursued in the Canadian difficulties, mid the more threatening troubles growing out of the boundary question between (he govenimcht of Maine ami the autho rities oi the province oi New Brunswick, has won the confidence and aupport of the American people. A war would have been, as it ever has, and ever will be, destructive to th* agriculture and commerce of the South, und any means consistent with the honor and character of out country, should always be adopted to avoid collision with foreign pow ers; ami more particularly with a governm- nt whose manufactures con tribute so mm It to oui interest and prosperity as that of England. The commercial department of our paper shall receive considerable at tention. We will give regular quotations of Cotton during the busim ss season,ol the Augusta, Charleston, Savannah, New \ ork, Mobile, New < h i.’mi-, und other markets iu our own country, and the state of the prin cipal European markets.
