A painful rumor has been in our midst for 39HI11 lilies, 10 tne ettoct that titty persons laid been poisoned ntCokesbury, in Abbeville district. The Columbia Gutmluin gives this version of it, which is no doubt correct: " We learn from a gentleman who is just from the up-country, and who passed through the neighborhood some five days after the occurrence, that a wedding party above and near by Cokosbury was given on Thursday the 13th inst, which resulted in sickness to all who participated. The cause of the sickness was unknown, and the illness, which in nearly all the cases commenced with a chill, did not take place until about twenty-four hours after the party.

The ticket is composed of eighteen Douglas electors, ten Roll and Everett and seven Breckinridge. The Douglas organization is to have the Governor and state Prison Inspector and the Ureck- ! inridgo State Committee is to name the Lieutenant Governor and Canal Commissioner.

The Election of Electors Of President and Vico-Presideut of tho United States is, strango enough, entering into tho canvass for Congress in Col. Keitt's old district. Col. Aver favors tho change of tho mode of electing electors, giving that election to tho people. Col- Km.iott opposes the change.? The latter gentleman, addressing the people at OrangoburgC. II., after going into tho qucstic^, says: "I ask again, why should we change? What great benefits are we to derive from Inttlnff ?' ? j people vote directly for the election of . l'resij dent? Is it pretended that the Legislature | have not expressod the will of the people in all <-f the elections that have hitherto been made ? I I think no man will say this. Wliy, our present mode of electing electors appears to have been the most beneficial to the quietude and unani. mity of our people that could have been devised. We have scon tim people of other States, where the election of electors has been made directly by the people, under the lead of aspiring demagogues, divided and torn into hostilo factions and parties. The people have been induced by these leaders to leave their homes and their occupations, an.. ' >in in these bacchanalian demonstrations which were to bo of litila or no practical benefit to themselves. The elevation of some frothy demagogue to place and profit under the victorious side, has been always the result, the former result, of all their zeal and enthusiasm, I'ut not your trust in Princes, says the Bible, and I will add, neither in Presidents or in mditiciniis. Smith f!?w?ltt*n ?-..c once very enthusiastic in theelection of Andrew .Jackson an President, lie was to bring political salvation to the country, tho Government was to bo purged of its corruptions, anil the wrongs find injustico heaped upoi. our people were all to bo removed under his administration. Ho was triumphantly elected, and the response made to our complaints was tlie Force Bill, tho Proclamation ami threatened application of " hemp for traitors." For myself, this olio lesson in v !y life has been sufficient, and and 1 have never since trusted in Princes, Presidents, or politicians. What was.true of An! drew Jackson has applied with equal truth to ! all of his successors. The true and only intxl | of a free people should bo in themsolves. But j what especial benefit are we. the citizens of the i Parishes, to derive from this change in the mode of election. Why, our influence, strength and [>o\ver are nil to he diminished. That is the dossing wo arc to derive from their change. A very aide writer in your midst, over the signature of a" Parish Man," in the columns of the Southron, a short time since, illustrates the point in the following language: " Representation in the Legislature being based on population, taxation and election districts, the Low Country, which is divided into Parishes, and which has a larger proportion of slaves to l^itcs than the Up Country (and hence pay more t*es), has a much stronger vote in the Legislature than she ' lid in a direct popular vote, where 110 other elen. ut hut white population is represented. The Parishes of this Congressional Di.sti id, for instance, cast in an election before the Legislature between the one-sixth (1-0) and the one-seventh (1-7) of the whole vote of the State, while in an election before the people they would east but a little over the onc-tliirtcentli (between (lie 1-12 ami 1-18) of tlie whole vote of ttic State. " To lie still more ex, nml to go a little more into detail, the Parish of St. John's. Colleton, sends three members to the Legislature (one to the Senate and two to the House), and this is the onefifty-sixth (1 -50) of the whole number of both branches of the Legislature, bnt Iter white population is only 712, which is but (lie one-three hundred and ninety-third (1-893) part of the whole white population of the State. She would, therefore, lose the difference in the change from the Legislature to the people, which would be seven times less than her present vote by the Legislature. The vote of the Parish of St. Paul would be reduced, in the same way, to one-third of her present vote; St. Luke's ami Prince William's to nearly one-third; St. Helena and St tleorgc's to one half; St. Mathew'sto nearly one-half, and so on through I Ihe whole. In ix direct vote of tho people, tlie District of Spartanburg al.ne. which has only six votes in the Legislature, would. ov. '.ng to Iter large white population, outvote I lie Districts of Colleton nn<l Beaufort, an<l tlic Parishes of St. Jt hn's Colleton and St. Matthews, which, together, have twcnty-tlireo (2") votes in tlio Legislature. " yLfo we willing to lose the influence r>f those twenty-three votes, in a Presidential election, for tlio mere gratification of a popular vote, which can be overcome by the vote of Spartanburg alone? Certainly not. 1 will illustrate it in another view. Tiie District of Orangeburg is divided into two l'amhcs, Orange and St. Matthews ; there are two Senators and three Representative*, five in all. from the District. The District of Hicldand litis one Senator and four Representatives, tiro in all. In a Presidential election, where the vote is given by the Legislature, Orangeburg is equal to Richland? | but Richland having more than double the poi nutation of Oiiiiiii?b.;rr- :'? ? n"""'"" . o' ? u i vote, luivo twice us many votes as Orangeburg, and would, consequently, have twice the power. Are you willing to surrender your present strength for u shadow? I think not. More than this. You now by one popular voto elect your representatives and your electors; they are virtually the same; and by this mode you poaI sess twice the power that you would have in the [ election of electors alone. Is it possible that the Parishes could he so unwise as to lose the subjstance l>y grasping at a delusive shadow ? 1 hope not. " It is very evident that the idea of giving the | election of electors to the people is the initiatory step in the overthrow of the whole Parish system." Now, what Col. v.i.i,iott states is true ; and, every reason given !n opposition to the change below, is an unanswerable argument in favor of the change with an up-ennntrymnn ! m ? Burlesque. j The excitement consequent upon the election of President is gieat in tlio other Stutes. Extravagant articles and assertions abound in the political pres*, to an extent not excelled by tlio " log cabin Mia iianl cliter " campaign. Accounts of political meetings arc numerous and far-fetched. A facetious correspondent of the Milwaukee (Wis.) New* indulges in the following badinage of the Republican accounts of their meetings. Ho gives a statement of a Lincoln meeting, which we here produce, and dofy even the most stoical to read it, and refrain from laughter. It is as follows: ' The procession, which was over a thousand miles long, will vote this year for Lincoln. Last year they voted for Douglas! Upward of twenty millions of people arc now in the garden listening ' to the talking. Nino hundred guns were fired for Lincoln, and they intend to fire another ono next week ! Handall is speaking in nine different languages, while Wnsliburlie is taking it all down in backhand ! Booth is telling the particulars of his rescue, and Lincoln is adding up the number of rails lie split! "Delegations from tlie country aro coming in!

Tlic editor of the Anderson (Jazctfe was at Center Camp-ground, nnd writes thus pleasantly to his paper of liis visit: " Tills portion of Pickens District lias improved wonderfully during the past few years.

A correspondent of the Sacriiinento Union writing from Virginia city, confirms tho recent 1 tidings of soven wh'uo men liaving been burned to death by Indians in tho Washoe region.? 1 It appears that these victims formed tho partv ! ! of Norman II. Canfiold, of llutto County, which was out prospecting when the war hotw<*en the whites nnd Indians at Williams' Hunch 1 broke out, and were not heard of afterwards.? i | The correspondent thus tells the story: Among the volunteers in the late Indian ex- ! | pedition uniler CV1.

The partisan* of 1)<ii'olah, ISkkckkkridgr and ISki.i. have been in session several days at the St. Nicholas Hotel, to effect a fusion. i So far, they have only abused each other, and the result anticipated by all is, that the State is lost to the democrats.

At the conclusion of the j meeting, the Wide Awakes, who had mustered i in large iiuiuhers, rushed from llio building and ! formed in a line opposite the New York Hotel (a Southern hotel), accoutred with their unii form, and with torches at the thr cud of .i/nvex, pointed with iron.
