eourse directly to money and to bribery itself. That the tendency of too much electioneering is to beget evil, let the observant man only watch the corrup tion of the ballot-box in our larger cities.-and even in Columbia and Charleston, where the contest for office is keen, and the meanus of prostitut:ng the privileges of the citizens are at hand and are'more abundant, and let him see how bold can become the self-abasement and degradation of iien, who boast themselves Republicans and freemen, in as chi-al rofis a State as South Carolina. Their votes are actually, often bought and sold in broad-daylight, and I learn, that they are sometimes positively penned up like beasts -ind dumb cattle and feasted and drenched with liquor, by some of the contending champions of liberty, who on the day of the elee tion, are to receive the united suffrages of this band of freemen and unterrified Democracy. We our selves have seen the like abroad, an4 I say, God in his mercy forbid, that so wicked a practice should extend to our people, and especially should pervade the whule'eountry. If it should so extend itself, I would not give a wisp of straw, either for A merican freedom or for the American Constitution, or for even the most reveted principles of our American government. Whilst though, I would guard the freedom of electionts, as sacr'edly as the virgin purity of our ,daughters. or the unstained altars of our holy re b.gion, I think it is becoming-and decent in all Can didates for election, to withhold nothing from the people, that they have a r'ght to know ; and I most heartily make this promise to every one of my fellow-citizens, who has the least eoncern for my prosperity, and'.for the success of my designs of pro moti-if he hears of me entertalnin any strange or peculiar notion, anul will only write to tme for the truth, he shall have the truth, on my solemn ac countability to God. I will conceal fron the voters -of the District no important principle whatever, whici they may earnestly desire to learn of i; .and, if I am eharged with any abominable sin or transgression, if the people will do me the kindness to inquire of mc the truth of the report, I will un lock the whole mystery to them, and let them have it all. I have as few secrets, as any other gentle man in the community, and it wi1 be pretty gener ally conceded. that I am very much inclined to di vulte what I knwv. In fact, every political principle I have. belongs to those I would have for my con stituents. I honestly believe, that I have had rather an it. auspiciaus time for my aspirations after office. I was elected to the Legislature not long after my return from the war; and seeing that our brethren of the North were' about to appropriate to themselves ex clusively all the remuneration we had received for the blood and treasure and lives, I saw lavished by the united North and South, it is poss-.ble, that un der excitement from so deep a provocation, my con duct may have partaken of rashness for the moment, and I nmy have given evidence or a violence of -character, which actually did not, in general, belong to me. I certainly do not regret the course I pur sued, or retrict a principle I then avowed. We had been wronged.beyond endurance. I had to seleet my plan of conduct, and cleave to the safest plank I could ind, in the midst of a violent tempest. It is probable, that from the ardor of my - nature, future commentators on my conduct wil: charge ime with a readiness to leave the vessel before she was quite in a s:nking mood, and I only w:sh that the times had been a little nore quiet, so that nien could have properly estimated the real metives that gove rned me, and so that I could have clearly exhil.ited some of the prudence as well as boldness of my nature. I judge myself that I ai a con-wrvative in disposi tion, and not ;nc!ited to make alterations in govern mlent unttil they become inperiously necessary and slenanded by the people, either to censerve their rights, or to relieve their buidens. In my opanion, that is the only safe rule to adopt. But, as it was the- faishionl to plaeo-ne in thaeent gory of Rcvolut:entists, I am fully conavinced that I lost my last election, fromt havmng been miisjudgedl as an advocate of the division of this DI)srit-a pro. ject I could notgell espouse, and especially agitate. ui-.it were iincontroveriible that a majority oef all igl e,-dwere in favoer ot it, and hiad ai plan ' og . well matured, and unless its practicabil ty seemed probable,-anid then, unless its benefits were made clear to my per ception. I have a kind of patritec attaichment to the wvhole District; and as a large District has mocre pewer thtan a smaIl onle, if it only has the wisdomi to propterhy exercise it, I coenfess that it wvould be with somec reluctance, and some serioeus misgivings, that I 'coeuld looek en anid be-hold oeur o~ld house divieded againast itself, andc its tractionis miade insto such potential Districts at Lexingteon or Satxe Geotha. No onie can fully co~nceive, with how much pure <1elight, I woule imaintain and vinidicate the viewvs o1 the friends of my b. ehoodl, or with what paini it is, that I ua compelled to differ with them in senitiment, It is dlue to thema, though, that I sheeuld speak cut and speak expliaitly, and I ati very conaseloeus tha1 they will esteem me the moure, f r edealing wvith them in a spitrit of frankness, so that I tre at thenm withloul captiousness or i~l-w ill, or unreasontable opposition If I should b:- so fortunate as to be again elected I will strive, with all mcy might tee mnake the Distriec and State. a useful member:; for I am atmbitiones, and I love reputation, and I love my cotentry. As our State is gettig along well aiid harmoni ously at this juntcture, I will endeavor to preserve her in the saume peaceful track. A nd as wee all scerr to be prosperoeus and happy, I shall generally oppose myself to all chainge, especiatlly to revolution, with out a stringent cause, and unless it is made as clent as sunlight, that such a chanige will rend~er the peo ple more prosperous, mnore wealthy, more happy, and mnore contented. Somec modification and reibrm ofi the military system of the State mtighit be found' ex pcdieiit and beneficial: but it is the course and prac tice of wisdom never to make a radical alteration in government until such nho~ratio:: bo"ome highly es sential, and until tihe defects of the government be come very ahparent, as weell as very grievous, and actually insupportable to the people governed.

C., age 40 years, one. month, and one day. She was interred in the Republican Church-yiyd. Iand her funeral was preached by the Rev. ). Bodie, from ihe 13th verse of the 14th chapter of Revela. tions, " Aud I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, write blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth:. yea saith the Spirit. that they may rest from their labors ;:and their works do fllow them." She had been a worthy member of the Daptist Church for more than 20 years. Ahe joined the Red-Oak Grove Chureb, and after a short time, took a letter and joined the Red Hill Church, where she remained until her death. Site was an affectionate wife, kind mother, and an indulgent mistress. and was beloved by all who knew her. She has left 8 ehildrien and an afficiion husband and many friends to mourn her loss. In her last moments she was able to shout the praises of God, and said she was not afraid to diet that her Jesus was near to her. She has gone where there is no more death, no more pain, sickness and sorrow, and parting with friends and relatives. "Lire's sad and dreary journey With her is ('er; She's passed death's darksome river To heaven's shore. A city crystal builded Formns now lier 1onim; Through realms, all glory guilded, She glad may roam.

She was a kind and afftetionateviother, a loving sister, and an indulgent mistress. She has shown herself aniahle in all the relations of life, and now being ea!!ed for the last time to pass through the crucible, she exhibited that patience and resiination which shine out with such winning lustre from the character of the christian under sufFering. lier death was like the clear. quiet setting(of no evenisg sun, and though gone down, yet it throws back a light above the horizon that will long be seen. She has left one son, father and mother, sisters and brothers, and a large circle of friends, to iourn their irreparable loss.
