Kind fiicr.ds (gentleman of prominence
intluence) have been pleased to place
name before tho public ns it candidate
a neat in Congress. Others,?some of
iter merit than we, and nil of cipial
iih?have also Won nominated by
ids of high character nnd position in our
riet. Of cou'se. the prospect is one of
r.vtion and discord among the people of
yliold. Several tltizens of intelligence
probity have spoken to us, in terois of
p regret, of the condition of things which
has hero so suddenly sprung up. Wo have
I lie It the force of thoir opinion and now act
I accordingly.
; With the most heart-felt thanks to our
frionus in Edgeiield and elsewhere, we must '
1 decline a place in the Congressional raeu 1
now about to occur. If there is any one '
thing in political life we would avoid more
than another, it is being in any wise a party <
to local and pcrs >nal dissensions in the mat- |
ter of our Pedes a I representation. Our
view is (especially now, with the sad ca
Inniity hi fore us which necessita'cs a r.ew
I election.) to let it pass oft'quietly and amicably.
If cither of the distinguished gentlemen
(Col Pickens or (iov Hammond,)
who have been nominated for the post in
question, w ill accept, w? hold it to be the
duty of their juniors to retire from all op- I
opsition to linn. If not, there may (und
probably will be a scramble. We do not
w i>h to be a participant in, or nu accessory
to, any such contest.
We trust our friends will concur with us
in this appreciation of matters as they stand, i
j Candidly, we prefer the poaition of an Inde- |
| pendant South Carolina Kditor to a place
! in Congress under the circumstances.
Our friends will justify us in saying that
i we have not had the remotest instrumental
