Hon. 'Wm. AIken. he Charleston Courier of the 12th inst., sayI of this distinguished ihdividu al: "We have the intepso gratification of announcing.-'thismorning the full and conplate pardon by President JouisoN of onr universally esteemed and hqmored fellow citizen, Hon.

'vWlV( OF TiHt C(TI'/ENS ON TilE- ISSUEA Election day pqpsed ofl very quietly. No-soldiers ivere pormitted about the polls. General Bennett's orders to the officers of the day were that no guard should be staltionied at nily of the ward preciicts, unless special request was niade necessary. Tle citizens generally are very much pleased with tle result, .nd deny that any issue of unionist or secessionis.t was raised in -the seketion and election of candidates. They claim'that t1hey Mre Union and nothing else, and that all will cordially support. the view.s and policy. of the adiniiisration. As. an evidence of this intntion they instance the elec. tion of P. J. Coogan, a. open and avowed Uni-.ist during tile war, who i'eceived r. respectable - and successful vote. On the other hand, tihe friends of Dr. A. G.- Mackey and (he "Union ticket" view the result as i coiplete triumph of the old hunkers ad(] socessionits. The election of Mr. Coogan, they say, was eff'vcted bylthat candidato inierging him. self with' the .Secessiolists. The jUion, ien and forier friinds of Mr. Coograi have no confidence in any good result. ing frerib his 'election. rher, also sa' the most nonstrogs falsehioods,calmnuie's 'ind slanders were heaped upon Dr. Mackey's personal character to effect Ins defeat. lie was openl,- and uiuformly denounced it% st.reet conversatioris ng a traitor to his native Stat' in hor tihn of tronbit and distress. Many of the Ma Sonic brotherhood opposed Dr. Mackey .on account of his.visit North, whiyh they . characterized . as a begging tour, notwithstinding that visit was made nt the urgefit solicitations of his Northern brethren. In fact, the Union. en-chuim that all sorts of'lies and tricks were re. sorted to for thti purpose of. keeping their cahdida te-t he friend of Uionisin,. Spihir rights and progrsi iImIpr-ovQ.

This report, raised immnedirtely bbfor th eledtion, nio excited the ncldignation of the Doc. toi's fiienida, who regai.Oed it is another trick to inflame popular prejudice aganst him.
