THE POSITION OP THE CANDIDATES. At the public meeting held in our Court House on Monday last, we had the pleasure of hearing all our candidates for both branches of the Legislature, except Maj. Lowry, who was detained at home by sickness in his family, but whose position on Federal affairs we are herewith permitted to append among the rest. We attended the meeting for the purpose of ascertaining and making known through the Enquirer, the precise ground which each candidate takes in re j t inAftln'o nlantinn Wfi n.r? anxious garu IrU 1U1.

To do this, we have requested each one to see the portion of this article which relates to himself; so that each one is virtually speaking for himself , in the subjoined paragraphs. We are pleased to see that unanimity otsentiment is very prevalent among the candidates; and that, whoever may be elected, York will go up to the Legislature as one man with one voice, crying out for co-operative resistance to Mr. Lincoln's administration. But as the arguments used as well as the emotions manifested during the speech, tend to give complexion and charac ter to each candidate, as they also will to the Legislature; we design appropriating a paragraph to each one separately. COL. R. G. McCAW. For the Senate?opened the discussion. He began by saying that the old tests which divided the whig and democratic parties, in the earlier days of the Republic, were now settled and would probably never, in a Presidential election, be brought before the country again. But in 1848, upon theadmission of California, anew issue was sprung upon the South?the right to settle the Territory with their slave property.? The whig party put Gen. Taylor in pomination, who, with the prestige of a personal popularity, gained updh the glory-covered plains of Mexico, won the Southern heart if not the Southern head, and this secured his election. Then came the odious compromise of 1850?an insult to the South, which raised her to the resistance point. A call was made for a Southern Convention at Nashville, Tennessee, in 1850, which recommended a Congress of the Southern States to be convened at Montgomery, Alabama. In obe dience to this expressed wish of the South, a Convention of the people was held in South Carolina ; which convention declared the right, but at the same time the inexpediency of separnte secession. He went to the Legislature, and identified himself with the party favoring a Southern Congress. This is consistent with his present position. He felt within him that Lincoln would not be elected; but If he is, he and his party stand pledged to abolish slavery not only in the Territories but in the States; and following the example of the Caxtons and Wilberforces in the English Parliament, bills will likely soon be enacted to this end by the abolitionized Congress. Many of the Southern States have said they will fociet T.inenln's rnoiicnriition ; the South, seeinar that submission and disgrace or resistance are the only alternatives, will cry resist ; and hence the question of separate State action is premature. The whole fifteen Southern States have declared they will have protection. Our Legislature, he said, can't pass a bill to secede ; such J a bill would be as powerless as the parchment on which it was written. lie is in favor ofcalj ling a Convention of the people of the State ; when, as one of the people, he will assist in deciding what course to pursue. But South Caro lina has led once; Alabama and Mississipp1 now stand prominently forward for resistancelet them lead now. Col. McCaw thanked the people of the District | ?as this would be his last opportunity of adj dressing them before the election?for their uni I iurin UUSpilHlMjr CU uiui uunu^ mc v/O-u v a,cv->. COL. W. B. WILSON, i For the Senate?begun by paying that the two sections, the North and the South, stood arrayed against each other under hostile banners. He would first speak of the wrongs and danger and I then of the remedy. Pefect equilibrium and, | consequently, perfect harmony, prevailed be| tween the two sections in the beginning. The j philosophy of government and the voice of hisj torv teach us that for a republic like ours to last, it must be a perfect system of checks and bal| ances. The fathers and greatest patriots of the ! Republic recognized this fact. Early after its birth, there were eight States at the North, and eight at the South. Eager to preserve this i state of things, Kentucky, a slavehold'mg State, was admitted along with Vermont a non-slaveholding State. He mentioned other couplets of States admitted on the same principle. But the North hecame eager for power, shut us out from the Territories, and acquired new States, whilst we stood still, until now they have fourteen majority in the Senate and one hundred in the House. The last bulwark of the South was the Democratic party. That was now wrecked ; and its "disjecta membra" scattered upon the stormy waters. Would they use tneir power to crusn slavery ? Look at the Republican party. Seward, the cold Ajax of the party, announcing the ' irrepressible conflict;" Sumner with his rabid hate of the South ; Spooner announcing his "Habeas Corpus" way of freeing the negro ; and Helper, with sword and fire, rape and rapine, plundering and insurrecting the South unless we submit?these nre their promises of mercy.? Judge the party by its leaders?which is proper ?and they will abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, then prohibit the inter-State slave trade, then consummate the work of emancipation in the States. Lincoln is in the van of his party. 1 If we wait for au "overt act" when he is elected ?some open and monstrous outrage all at once? ' it will never come. The Republican leaders, he said, are far seeing, cold-blooded, men who will come like the vampyre and suck our life blood i while we are asleep. When Lincoln wields $85, 000.000, and 100,000 offices to tramjuilizo and i corrupt the South, she will be ripe for submis sion. If under a Democratic Southern adminisi tration raids and insurrections had harrassed the South, what would be the result when Lin. coin should get command of the army and navy, > and immense patronage of the government? Now for the Remedy. Mr. Wilson said it ha^ been told in a portion of the District, that il Lincoln was elected he was in favor of Soutl Carolina seceding forthwith from the Union.? This was incorrect. He was not a rash man, To agitate the question of seperatc state actioi would produce discussion and distract out counsels at home, at a time when it was nl important that unity and harmony prevail. lit wished to be fully understood. After looking ' around him at the danger and attitude of the South, he thought it uuwise and needless tr agitate the question of Secession. The Soutl; ' j smarting under common wrong would defend 'i herself; and let South Carolina be ready to co 1 operate. This is the platform upon which she :! was placed by her Convention in 18;>2, and upon ! that platform she still stands. The Legislature, ' j he said, has no power tb pass a bill to secede ; I but he would be in favor of calling a convention of the people, in the erect Lincoln wan elected ; re and to that Convention the mode and measure of " redress would properly belong. If our enemies tr triumphed in the present contest, submission to ct their rule would be the greatest peril that could T befal the South?it would hasten our ruin. A F southern confederacy was our remedy. The si 12,000,000 people at the South ; her vast re- ni : sources of cotton, rice and cane; her harbor- tl indented coast; the noble rivers pouring through S her borders; the power and spirit of her people; u and the bible as her hand-book and God on her ir side?these were ample defences of her soil and fi( institutions. Let us stand by the South. He concluded with thanks to the people for their gi kindness to him, &c. ai W. C. BLACK, ESQ., e< For the House?took the position that the agi- tb tation of the slavery question at the North had ti its origin in a desire to get up a party to tax di the South forrovenue and protection; that re- ni ligious fanaticism spread with the agitation, until the people have now become bo much a- se roused that the rulers can't control them. If pi Lincoln be elected, the South should be united al as a man to resist his administration. But he n is opposed to separate State action on account hi of such an event, under every circumstance.? bi We have too many interests at stake to hazard tc them in such a cause. There has been and is _ now, he said, a party in this State bent upon gf precipitating South Carolina into secession as a p means of securing Southern co-operation in the t( event of Lincoln's election. Charleston now, he j said, in one week of the election, has no candi- j dates in the field. She and the Parishes are tl determined in his opinion, to cram the Legisla- s( ture with secession men, in order to hurl the a( State out of the Union by the action of that body. 8( Sixteen sets of resolutions were offered at the 8j last session, he said, looking to this end. He ;t was opposed to such action. South Carolina is a< already in bad odor abroad. Returned his hi thanks to the people, &c. 01 W. I. CLAWSON, ESQ., 0] For the House, asserted that parties in a gov- g ernm,ent like ours were right, and necessary to j8 prevent consolidation. There were now four d parties in this country; and he proceeded to SE define their position. The Union party, headed w by Bell, were for the union at all hazards. He n( was opposed to this party. When our constitu- w tional rights are invaded he was in favor of re- di sistance. He was in favor of "protecting" w slavery by Congress in the territories; and op 0, posed to Squatter Sovereignty. Slave property tb may be taxed for revenue, but not for prohibition in or expulsion from the Territories; just as a tariff may be imposed for revenue, but not for protection to Northern manufactories. He stood w upon the Charleston Platform throughout. He is opposed to separate State action in the event U; of Lincoln's election ; but is willing to act with ht the South, though he has his doubts as to the ti: propriety of dissolving the union upon the mere ai election of a black republican. Property in the dt Territories is now the bone of contention, and se that could be divided between the two new na tionalities only by treaty or war. JLUvision alter ta division would involve us in interminable strife, qi He believed our rights could bo maintained in lit the Union. If so, stand by the Union ; if not, tli seek independence and security in a Southern tu Confederacy. is A. S. WALLACE, ESQ., cc For the House?thought that the future must ei determinine what course the patriot should pur- at sue if Lincoln be elected ; and did'nt think the ja people ought to trammel their representatives, m by committing them to any particular course of or action. Our Federal relations, last session, vi I were agitated over nnd over, while the wheels 01 of Legislation stood still, until he became tired of of the name of John Brown. If Lincoln be is elected be will be in favor of sending the ques- pi tion of our future to the people. But he has flt great confidence that Providence will protect the th | country from such a calamity. This was the F time of patriotic forbearance. If Lincoln should to he elected, however, the South was ready and fo t-i.i-4- .l-r 1 If . k? i iu ucicuu iicouu j ttiiu ju^ nuuiu jiuuu ijj | the South. He would keep hie eye on the ultra to i men of the State?a party who were, he said, rc j determined to precipitate the State into Seces- to siou upon the first good opportunity. Instanced E a move made by 1600 volunteers in Charleston, si who were on the 28th of June 1850, the anni- at I versary of the battle of Fort Moultrie, on the E | eve of seizing a revenue cutter in Charleston ty J harbor, and going to Sullivan's Island on the . pretense of holding a pic-nic in commemoration 0[ of the battle; but with the real design of seizing ' the Fort and hurrying the State into a revolu- ^ tion. This movement, he said, was only defeat- w led by Gov. Means ordering them to abandon p( : their purposes, and declaring that they wet e ej I (reason; when, to keep up appearances, the g I party went on and celebrated the battle quietly. a i He could not take any definite position, but jc i would be found wherever the honor of South jf Carolina and the South calls.

The Black Republicans seemed fatally bent on extirpating slavery. If g Lincoln be elected, we must either manfully re- gt sist or incur the disgrace of submission. The "higer law" doctrines of his party; the possses jjj sion of the power and patronage of the govern- ze ment, the army, navy, treasury, and offices of ffl the same ; and the butchery, rape and rapine f0 ! which they have inaugurated, would be suffici- ai ent cvideuces of their power and purposes. He q never would counsel submission to Lincoln's rule. a( He was in favor of a Confederacy of all the p. Southern States, or a sufficient number to main- tr tain a government that will guarantee to us life, (property and political independence; but re' gards it unwise and distracting to agitate separate State action. This question belonged to the people. He would vote for a State Convention, ^ if Lincoln be elected; and relyingon the patriotism of the people of South Carolina, would ^ cheerfuliy abide by and support the action of ^ bam ^uuveimuu. J. BOLTON SMITH. ESQ. * For the IToutr?said that ho regarded Abe. g Lincoln's election as inevitable as that the Gth ^ | day of November would come. It was proper . for us, then, to enquire of each other, "wbnt ^ will we do?" To ascertain this it was necessa- T, V 1 ry to find out first, what are the purposes of this tj . party. The South had been driven?yes driven ^ , from every foot of the common Territory. The ^ North has solemnly declared that no citizen ^ I shall take his slaves there; and stands pledged F to admit no more Slave States into the Union.? i There was nothing remaining for this party to - do, but to attack slavery in the States. How? ^ . By wielding the vast powers of the Federal 11 i Government to insidiously abolitionize the bor- 0 der States; by filling all the Federal offices of c 1 those States with the instruments of the Black 8< Republican party; by putting them in every v ; l'ost Office in your own and every other Slave i State, where they would be required to deliver i up every document that counseled the firing of d i your houses and the cutting of your throats; C by continually worrying and torturing the slave- w holder until he is compelled to purchase his peace and the security of his family by dispo- 0 i sing of his slaves at Black Republican prices.? With abolition marshals . to arrest and like e judges to sit in judgment upon the negro-thief, v the under-ground railroad will no longer be P isorted fcj, but in its stead you will have your Centrals and Atlantics," running their regular ips through by "day light," under the special t< ire and protection of United 8tates offioers.? ii he man in the Southern States who accepts c: ederaloffice under a President and party with I ich avowed purposes, will soon find that a si icely adjusted rope about the neck is stronger a ian the tenure of his office. What ought the a tates to do ? At Baltimore every Slave State ti ited for the protection and defence of slavery * i the Territories; and can you distrust their o ielity and readiness to unite for its protection itheStat;es? The South will demand such a uarantee of her rights as will bring security 0 id save the Union; but if thatdemand be spurn- T i and Black Republican bayonets threaten us, 8' lere will be no want of co-operation in any ac- P on required for our safety. Submission and e .straction, he said had had their reign; resist- T ice and union of the South would come. I' You are gravely told, he said, that there is a t< scret Secession party in the State whose purise is to jam the next Legislature with separ:e State action men, and by stealth some night P in the Scate out of the Union ! Such a party ^ ad no other existence than in the distempered * rain of this candidate. The witness summoned u > the stand?the journal of the last Legislature * -would'nt sustain the gentleman. He could'nt se Secession in the simple Resolution to ap- * * nnn e? : it., oi... t t! ropriaie J>iuu,vuu lur arwiug tun Diate iu pru!Ct your wives and children from raids like c ohn Brown's into Virginia, or in the innocent * eolaration that as to fraternal feeling between u le South and North the Union is already dis- a )lyed. If the gentleman saw seperate State d stion in these things, he will be suspected of a 'ceding from his senses. The Legislature is to 1 love the State out of the Union!?a yiew of 8 powers for which he should apply to Lincoln's ? iministrntion for a patent. The balance of us, 0 e said, hud supposed that this could be done c ily by t.he people in Convention. He was P pposed to any separate State action of this n tate; because it was anabsurb and mischievous 8 sue tend ing to defeat co-operation. He denied a iat there was any such party in the State, and * lid that the cry about it originated with those n ho are for resisting co-operation. He would ^ )t wait for an "overt act." What, said he, e ould you think of the man who saw a dagger ? awn over his child, and waited till the blow ^ as given. If any man there wanted South e irolina tamely and basely to submit to every ^ ling, and voted for him, he would be cheated his man. 0 MAJ. THOMAS LOWRY. S For the House?being absent from the meeting, rites to the Enquibee as follows : a From extreme illness of a member of my fam-' " p, I was unable, (and totally unfit from ex- 81 lustion, consequent from broken rest and con- 11 ued watching at the bed side of the same,) to * lswer in person to the call made on the candiites, on sale-day last. The only subject pre- * nted in that call was our Federal relations. ? Our system of Government being a Represen- c live one, and having no desire to shirk the a lestion, 1 give below, in a few words, my po- 0 deal creed; and in doing so, must go back to '' e creation and objects of the Federal Consti- r ition. The Constitution of the United States ft the creation of sovereign, independent and ? equal States, each 8tate reserving its sover- d gnty intact. Reared in a State that has clung id still clings to sovereignty as her only ark of 81 .fety, the signs of the times indicatc?that we 0 ust stanc! manfully and fearlessly at the helm, n else this doctrine of State sovereignty, this tal principle of liberty, this corner stone of <f fi-op irnTppnmpnt. will ha swent from the face " ' the earth ; and we will be drifted to despot- c ms more fearful, and persecutions more op- a essive, than those from which our fore fathers ^ :d in the old world. Establish the doctrine of at arch-demagogue, Judge Douglas?that the ederal Government has the Constitutional right r coerce ?. sovereign State?then in vain our ^ re fathers struggled and toiled ; and when 0 >or in the means and appliances of war they n ok up arras against a power, whose warlike mown extended from sea to sea, and from pole i pole, better had they remained vassals of c nglatid, than this doctrine of State sovereignty e lould be lost. We would have had one guaritee at least of liberty?the Magna Charta of e nglishmen, wrenched from the hands of Royal- 0 on the Banks of the Runnymede. 9 From the days of Haniilton to the present, the 11 jject of tbe Northern States of the Union has . :en to destroy State sovereignty, consolidate ^ le Government, and place the minority at the ? ill of a fanatical majority. In scanning the olitical horizon, its murky clouds betoken all ^ sebut peace and harmony. The raid of John 1 rown in Virginia, and the recent outbreaks of similar nature, in Texas and other slave hold- 0 ig States, are but fore-sbadows of what will be, the Black Republican party should be successil in obtaining possession of the Government, o relate a history of the wrongs of the South ould be superfluous. They are of daily occur 2 :nce. The citizens of the Northern States s eal your property : they murder your citizens hen in accordance with a plain and expressed ^ )nstitutional provision, they attempt to recover ^ le same. They have laws on their Statute g ooks, abrogating articles in the Federal Con- , itution, and making it a Penitentiary offence ir any Southern citizen to attempt to recover . is Constitutional rights. Why, fellow citims, will we close our eyes to these stubborn .cts? Will we wait until the practical issue is c c reed upon us ? Wait until the admission of a ^ ifficient number of free States to change the onstitution ? Then, when we are powerless to st, this Government which was made for our a rotection, will be used as an engine for our desuction, o How then can we preserve the Constitution, g ad make ii; subserve the ends for which it was c eated? Can it be done by compromise and 8 meoaainn '' The hiatorv of the onnntrv will * iow that we have heaped compromise oo com- e romise; and still the insatiate demands of the e orth in no manner decrease, but the march of le "irrepressible conflict" is onward. This octrine of the "irrepressible conflict" with all c s concomitant train of evils, is founded on Indelity?a morbid pseudo-religious spirit, nurlred in the home of free-loveism, communism d other corrupting isms of the age ; the same inatical spirit, the results of the writings of oltaire, DeVolney and others, that overthrew le government of France, brought her best itizens to the guillotine, closed her public sanclaries, inscribed over the doors "death is n eternal sleep," and produced that bloodiest of 11 reigns, "the Reign of Terror." The question now comes up, what course will ou pursue, if elected, on the event of the elecon of a Black Republican President; or, in ther words, what course would you pursue to heck the crusade against the South, and preervo the best system of Government ever deised by the ingenuity of man? The only remedy, heretofore known as a check ir aggression, has been resistance, prompt and ecisive. To meet this issue, the State of South arolina, in 1851, decided for co-operation. I as, if anything, at that time, a co-operationist, lough not from a choice of evils; and if one r more of the States would make a move in lis direction, I would earnestly and cordially xtend to them the welcome of co-operation, ote a convention, and refer the matter to the eople. 11 DR. J. F. LINDSAY. For the House?said that the future must < jrmine what course the State ought to pure 1 the event of Lincoln's election. His elect alls for some action; but, as a member of legislature, if the question of separate sec ion be forced upon that body, he will v gainst it. He would be in favor of the call convention of the people to deoide the qu ion. Thfc Southern States, he said, should i rait for "overt action but should proceed nee to form a Southern Confederacy. JNO. L. MILLER, ESQ. For the House?said that the whole subj f Federal politics was interwoven with I residential election. He ignored all past ues, and directed attention to that particu oint. The election of Lincoln would effect ntire and radical change in the government, he equality of the States would be destroy t was the part of wisdom for the South to cli ) the Union as long as we are environed w le safeguards of the Constitution.

If Lincoln be e ed, to use Mr. Yancey's remark, "every Sot rn freeman should plant the banner of equa n the mountains of Georgia, and entrench h elf in a Southern Confederacy." He belie i the Sovereignty of the States, and the ri f South Carolina to secede either alone or c jintly with the other Southern States; but ards it inexpedient for her to go out of Inion alone. He thinks the Legislature ha.s ower to pass a bill enacting the Secessioi he State ; and will be in favor of calling a C ention of the people to determine what cou ught to be taken. J. N.

The object of the Republican party ays, is to destroy slavery, and to effect this i hey set up a "higher law" at variance with institution.

Mr. McElwee owever, opposed to separate State aotion ; ause the South have common and insepart nterests, and should therefore act together, hinks South Carolina ought to stand perfet till, and wait until she sees what the ol louthern States, or some of them at least, ' lo; it will be time enough then for her to t .ction. If elected to the Legislature, he ppose himself to the sepnrate State actioni ,nd stand along side of the co-operative resittc ten; but will oppose any call for a Convent f the people until some of the other South Itatcsby their action have indicated to us w ourse to pursue. Mr. Lincoln, if elec hould no more be suffered, he says, to take ath of fealty to the Constitution, than a forei r if he were elected, or than an atheist to | vidence in court. PRINCE OF WALES AND THE SOUT Twenty-five Southern gentlemen, from States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alaba Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas Pennessee, casually brought together at J fork City, in their travels, Becking recrea >r health, have addressed a very high-toned jomplimcntary invitation to the Prince of Wn hrough Lord Lyons, to come to the South 'ore returning to England. Tl?ese gentlei peak of the attachment which we of the So eel for the queen and her government; of nterest which the future sovereign of the I sh empire should feel iu the broad agriculti egion where we reside?inhabited by gentlei vho own the soil and laborers who cultivati md supplying the material from which muc! he wealth and power of his land is deriv tnd of the great good which might result f lis visit, which would enable him to judge limself of our social condition, and carry i dm, they trust, an increased respect for our titutions. They promise him and his suit, he flunkeyism he must have been disgusted i n some other quarters, but the best and n cfined attentions of Southern hospitality, hort, the letter of invitation is a dignified ;entlemanly, though earnest and impressive leal to the Prince, and through him to the ;lish nation, to come to the South and judg ler society and civilization for themselves, i tot be carried away by the false statements false logic of a deceitful and ignorant philande thropy. iue Who can estimate the good which might have ion resulted from this one visit to the sunny realms the of old King Cotton ? Wo of the South have es- every confidence in the morality and beauty of oto our institutions. We believe that slavery is I of sanctioned by the Bible; that it is pre-eminenties ly adapted to the soil, productions and pursuits not of our clime; and that it is, and has been in all at ages, a feature of the noblest governments and most advanced civilization. We believe that the relation between laborer and capitalist is ect better marked by the difference of color and the race, since it must be one of mutual service and is- protection, or a constant war and clash of interla r ests. We hold to the idea found in the Bible an that the negro is born to servitude; and with a ,? wise aud noble-spirited master it is his happiest ed. and most improving condition. We believe that ing all these facts can be reached by the commonest ith observer, if he be hcnest, while travelling aion mongst us; and, of course, we are persuaded ore that if the Prince of Wales had visited us, he the would have returned to Europe a wiser and betwe ter man?prepared to be a "Peace-maker" aan wong the nations at war on this subject, and as thus to show his fitness?according to the promrth ise made to the Peace-maker?to inherit the by throne of that Empire on which the sun never 3 in sets. ira- But what course has the Prince seen fit to 5 of pursue ? Through Lord Lyons he has exprespon sed his sense of the kindness and cordiality of red the invitution, and a hope that he may be able 58i- to go to Richmond, Virginia, but he it to much der pressed for time that he will be unable to extend hat his visit farther South. "The courteous and for cordial invitation," is taken more as a compli30 ; ment to his "Royal Highness" and the British tri- nation, than the honest wish of freemen to open ac- the way to friendly feelings and sentiments of ose mutual esteem between sovereign peoples; and ern really we know not which is the more transpaoln rent, the egregious and truly princely vanity or iti- the simple injustice of Lord Lyons' reply. It is ed, uncandid to slur the thing over, and snub the )le- South, by saying that the Prince wanted time.? 'all He will have squandered by the time his tour is 'es- over, enough time in attending balls, theatres, Hr. fairs, and in hunting and other such kingly enion gagements, to have made a very respectable tour [est through, at least, a portion of the Southern un- States. We feel constrained, in view of the un af- seriousness and frivolity of his tour, and the cut grave questions which are agitating the minds ieir of the American poople, on whose settlement ice depends the prosperity of the British realm as ley well as the destiny of unborn millions, to rank im, the young Prince in this instance with a Nero ty- who was found fiddling away when Rome was on jad fire. be- We desire to see peace and the utmost cordiality of feeling reign among the nations of the id : earth ; but they must first be pierced with the f a Ithuriel spear of justice and right dealing to'8m ward each other, and the wound healed with the rui Gilead balm of a high, pure and catholic fellow?f feeling. No one can deny that the Prince has on- clung to his old prejudices, and refused to en;lo lighten himself on the subject of practical slavcn3 i ry. At this time when the whole world is in uld arms against the institution as it exists at the *ee- South, and this confederacy is well-nigh plunged out in all the horrors of civil war in consequence, it of a is not only sheer injustic to us, but such disreyor gpect shown for our opinions and conduct as > be amounts to a forfeit of the "entente cordiale" beac tween the two nations. Would to Heaven our don people would unite heart and hand io building ite, up every available means of Southern indepenthe dence; for it is degrading to the spirit of a free the people to ask alms at the gate of contempt. h/t IjOCATI AFFAIRS. rith The Enquirer. of The large space occupied by the Candidates, inn- and the unusual run of advertisemtnts, have 1 In excluded some advertisements, and the usual iod quantity of general news matter from this issue.

Of ber lingual attainments, Prof. Ingraham, in "The Sunny South," speaks in high terms. He mentions a Frenchman who says of Madame,?"She can speak five languages well, and I have seen her converse at the same time with a Spanish, German, and French gentlemen, around her, answering, ' questioning, and holding lively conversation with : each in his own tongue, and with a precision of i pronunciation and elegance of phraseology re- | markable.' ' Gilhohe Simus has a new volume of verses in press. The Pbince or Wales has been invited, through Lord Lyons, to visit the South.

Martin, and Rupcs M. Johnson.? From Lord Lyon's reply we learn that the Prince cannot extend his tour farther South than Richmond Virginia. Mrs. Gcrney's Letter is now asserted, by parties who are entitled to some oredit, to be a forgery. A private letter from Mrs. Gnrney is quoted, thus: "I know nothing whatever of the letter to which you alludo, and hope you will let the world know it at once. It is scandalous of those who have done it." She is in Paris. R. B.

On Monday morning last, the opening day of the regular session of the South Carolina College, John Feancis Hdohes, a student of the Freshman Class, was found dead in his bed.? He was a native of Edgefield District. The verdict of the Inquest is that he died by his own hands. The left side of his head shattered by a ball, a pistol still clasped iu his left hand (he was left-handed,) his posture upon his back, the shocking details of gore and?all, all these things left^^^^-ors no alternative than the verdict more unfortunate, "Weary of breath, Rashly importunate, Gone to his death." A committee of fellow-students attended his remains on the Monday-afternoon cars to his home in Edgefield. Musical Petttcoata. The last item of fashion-news from Paris is the invention of the (we quote) "Musical Petticoat"?whatever that is.

The volume is a kind of riium6 of travels and adventures in negrodom from the times of "Prester John" on down to Dr. Livingstone; through Thompson, Andersson, Rose, Riippel, Moffat, Andrew Smith, Cumming, Alexander, Edwards, and Barth, besides many more. It is anecdotal. We have tales of Bushmen, Kaffirs, Bechuanas, Coramas, Namaquas, and Hottentots, and niggers of all sorts and odors. We have elephants, monkeys, hyaenas, ants, antelopes, lions, hippopotamuses, baboons, crocodiles, and snakes; and (as they say out west) tcarey things generally.

Its high claims to success lie in the scientific attainments of the author, his long practice of medicine, his experience in invalidness, and his experience and observation upon this subject in the West Indies during the past season. The price is seventy-five cents. Mrs. Gwinn's "Poem3" is out. This lady, as toute le monde knows, is of Greenville, South Carolina. We have not had the pleasure of examining her book. It is dedicated to Judge O'Neall. The book trade generally is a little slow? languishing under the political excitement attendant on the presidential election and its etoe:tra.

The population of the American States is in many sections so sparse, that skilful Physicians are hardly available to them. Vast numbers of our people, are obliged to employ in sickness, such medical relief as they can hear of from each other, or indeed any they can get from any quarter. Hence arises the great con- 4 sumption of Patent Medicines among as, greater 1 by far than in any of the old countries, where 4 skillful physicians are accessible to all classes.' 0 Unprincipled men have long availed themselves i of this necessity, to palm off their worthless ^ nostrums, until the word has become synono- { mous with imposition and cheat. One of our j leading Chemists in the East, Dr. Area, is pur- 1 suing a course which defeats this iniquity. He ' brings not only his own but the best skill of our times to bear, for the production of the best ^ remedies which can be made. These are supplied to the world, in a oonverient form, at low prices, and the people will no more buy poor medicines instead of good, at the same cost, than they will bran instead of flour. The inevitable consequence of this is, that the vile compounds that flood our country are discarded for those which honestly accomplish the end in view?which cure. Do we over estimate its im- ; portance, in believing that this prospect of supplanting the by-word medicines, with those of actual worth and virtue, is frought with immense consequences for good, to the masses of our people.?Gazette and Chronicle, Peru, la. Negro Execution In Clarendon. I We learn from the Clarendon Hanner, tnat Sam. the property of Mr. Thos. Williams, of North Carolina, is to be executed in that District, on Friday, the 28th instant. He waa tried and convicted by a Magistrate's Court, on a charge of killing a slave, named Ned, the property of Mr. B. R. Gibson, of Clarendon District. We learned several days since, of the daring outrages and brntalities perpetrated by this < negro upon the person of a lady, and upon her premises, in the absence of her husband, but did not notice them, fearing a mis-statement.? It seems that he entered her d welling, and called for the.meat-house keys. These were not given in a direct way, when he inflicted severe l blows upon her?blows of a character calculated to take life. He was accompanied by another negro, armed.with a gun, whose purpose it was to shoot any one who might come along and interfere while the depredations were being committed, This exceeds anything in the way of negro daring which we have ever recorded, as M occuring in this region. It is well that such V prompt measures were adopted to hunt up in his seclusion (Sam was a runaway) and bring to justice this abandoned character. The Banner al9o informs us, that George, the property of Mr. B. R. Gibson, was also tried as being accessory to the marderofNed. He was convicted and sentenced to be hung on the 30ch of November next. In bis case an appeal has been taken.?Sumter Watchman.
