You, Mr. Kditor, no doubt, think and you are correct too, that yo'i are having a heated campaign in your State, and I presume it to be the most spirited since 1S7S.? At any rate it seems to one at this distance, and it is natural for us to look ou in wonder a nd w ith astonishment, at tlie'cour^e of the people of lite beloved State of South tTtrulina. What will such proceedings end in? Will it result iu good and huppinc- for the people, and redound to the gl >ry of the Stste? Or will the result he dis.i.-ter io the democrat e party ? These are the qtie-lioiis that present themselves, at this time. It ^ does not seem that there is a just cui-o for the present uproar and confusion in the Stale. It appears to he the w< rk c f demagogues and unscrupulous politicians who secui to delight in arousing the passions of the people, which is unwise an 1 dangerous.

The people of this great State are presented to the world in the same category that your people are divided upon a trivial political question, au amendment to the State t'onacitutioti, regulating railway tint". Ill III IIIV IMII ?? III lOIV'IJ lit IIIV VIVIIIVemtio party here is not so hazardous, because the liotnocralic majority is so overwhelmingly large that it cuunot easily- bo defeated, even if antihet party should undertake such a tiling. There is however, no danger of a split in the party here, notwithstanding the division among democrats, for tiio Ainondincnt and Itailway Commission elements arc largely in the majority, and they have things all their own way, and after the convention meets in August and nominates lion. James 8. Hogg for (Jovernor harmony will then prevail m this State. Hogg is very unpipular with a class of our citizens, and some accuse him of being a demagogue of demagogues : but he is stronger t ban till combined oyposi'ion and, of course, will be the next (Jovcrnor of Texas. It is a fact beyond peril 1 venture that no man in the State who has oll'crcd himself as a candidate for otlice was ever as favorably received as Mr. H"gg. He is endorsed by the great majority of the people from the center to the circumlorctice of the Sia'o: sj much so, that it is now conceded by every one that he w?M receive the nomination on the first ballot, and perhaps by acclamation iu the convention. He has held 111 * otlice of Attorney Ueucral for four year.-, and ints opposed the railroads of the State and other corporations as strenuously and bitterly as 15. K. Tilhuan has abused the State ufiiccis%| and certain St Ue Sunt ?rs in South Carolina. hence his popu arity with the uneducated, unthinking and tin reading peoj le of the State as well as with a goodly uuiuhct of the better informed citizen--.
