Mathewes occupies a poriion of our ad? vertising columns, to, inform tho people that he has a supply of ?Ood things on hand, which he is willing to dispose of at short profit.. As we have testod the mat * ter, on several occasions, and have always found him accommodating.and clever, we would*urge our friends to see C.

In less 'than a fortnight the people of South Carolina will repair to_ tho bnllol .box for the purpose of electing delegates to the most important body which has assembled within her bordors for many ?. years, and it is with a view to impress Jhe importance and magnitude ofthe oc? casion upon the masses that we arc in? duced to pen thie, article. Very many of ?ur people are seemingly indifferent as to the result of the approaching election, and we are truly sorry that there are hundreds who arc not qualifying them? selves as voters.' This is entirely wrong, and we feel assured that if such would so viously reflect upon tho subject, thcy would at on.ee insure their own qualifica? tion in order to jelcct tho wisest-aud mosi discrcot'amongst us to .represent the Dis? trict in the Convention. In our humble judgmont, iho men selected to discharge tbe exalted duties which will be required nt tho hands of the Convention, should be those whoso information and intelligence are equal to the mighty changes to bo ef? fected in our organic law?wh?.so patriot '.' ism and sincerity aro unquestioned, and whoso probity and integrity are such as to command respect and admiration. All these qualifications are necessary, and it behooves every citizen who has the good of his country at heart to see that. such < men alone are invested with tho. functions % . of a delegate. ? . ..'" ?r ? . ?i The Constitution will bo altered in many particulars, and some changes will be effected "which will institute a now or? der of affairs in South Carolina. -The basis of representation, popularizing the ^election of many imltortant officers, and other questions of interest, will come be? fore the Convention. Sagacity, sound ?judgment and matured ideas of political economy-will be required-to steer, tho -helm and produce desirable results in the *new relations about to- be assumed to wards the common government. With the offete ideas of a different period, wc are to have nothing to do?they belong to the past, bo it,blazoned with honor or stamped with ignominy. Under a new and progressive system, Our internal poli? cy must be effectually imbued with ener? gy, enterprise and industry.- Man of firm? ness and resolution must inaugurate meas ? ures to guide the people under such cir? cumstances.??? Time-servers and placo neekcrs should bo disoardod. The yco- j manry of tho'land is charged with the du? ty of expunging them from council, and on their action at the present time de pends much of the weal and prosperity of coming generations. With the anx? iety everywhere manifested to hasten the completion of our restoration as one of the States of the Union, and the consequent urgency of measuros to be in? augurated, the Convention, will have a short session. Its work will be executed with dispatch, and, if tho views of our present Governor aro sustained, the ma? chinery of che permanent State govern? ment will b e put at once into operation. To do this, will roquire a quick intelli? gence to comprehend the true interests of. the people, and prudenco and foresight to guard against radical views and prejudices in the formation of an instrument of or? ganic law. Assuredly the qualifications . of a member, under such circumstances, should bo ofthe highest order, and wo trust that the people will carefully consid? er tho claims and pretensions of those who seek to be their representatives'. ?--T-' For the Intelligencer. , Ma.

En . gaged in teaching school-at this place, it will be impossible for me to canvass the district, and my election, therefore, must rest entirely in the hands of my friends. In answer to tho questions propound ed to tbe Candidates, by," Vox Populi," I answer: . ' 1st. I am in favor of givingthe electiori of Electors for President ami Yiee Presi dent, the election of Governor and Lieu? tenant Governor, the'election of Commis? sioner Equity, to the people. 2d." I am not in favor of abolishing that clause of our State Constitution which ex? cludes ministers of the Gospel from a seat in the Legislature. t 3d. As to giving tho election of Chan? cellors and Law judges to the people, I will candidly say, that I have ever doub? ted the wisdom of the measure. You can not afford me room to argue this point, I will therefore, only say, that much as I fear they will have cause to regret the change in our Judicial system, yet, if the people, in the approaching election, clear? ly demand the change, I would not. op? pose it. Finally. I am only anxious that the peo? ple should elect their most able and firm men, to represent them in the Conven? tion. ? If they will do this, the State will suffer no -detriment. My services and abilities arc before them for judgment. If they are permitted to render that jndg ment,;uninfluenccd by calumny and mis? representation, I shall cheerfully acquiesce m ' WARREN D.

I would-answer that I have always been in favor of giving tho election of Electors of President and Vice President.

" The 5th question I would answer?1 hope tho good sense and holy callingof our Ministers of the Gospel would induce them not] to engage in politics; but I think, il any should offer themselves?and if they are eligible and the people see fit to elect them, I can'see. no reason why they should not serve.
