The weather was favorable anil an R unusually large vote vm pollottf It wna attendod H with considerable excitement, and no little bad | feeling.

See tabular statement in another column. Mr. Rhett's Address. A correspondent requests us to re-publish the address of Mr. Hiif.tt to his constituents in ; 1833. AVe comply with pleasure, and refer our read rs to the first page for it. It is an eloquent recital of the slavery issue at that day, and will be pcrueed with prollt even now. The note accompanying it, signed " No Prophet," charges that Mr. It it ett has not received justico in this congressional district. So far as we arc concorned. we take issue with ' X>> Prophet,'' on this point. It is true, we do not helievo that Mr. Hiiett is a safe loader for the times, and i that his policy is not the true one l'?>r us. I!ut the right to think and act for ourselves docs not, | necessatily, do "injustice" to him or others, j n is uur iijim iiuii privilege, ana we Miian not abandon it at tlio pleasuro of other*. We have published Mr. Uu kit's letter, his speech before the Columbia (May) convention, and other arti- ; cles of like character. So far, then, instead of tlio complaint urged by " No Prophet" having \ny force in its application to us, he should \ rather have done us tlio " justice " to state these j facts, and givcu ys credit therefor. Ladies' Southern FloristMr. (Ji.\ss, iiookscller of Columbia, ?ends us a small volume, with this title. Mrs. Marv C. j Hio.v, of Winnsboro, is the author.
