B Gkx. Harrison.?Wc observe that an attempt is
B making in Charleston to manufacture a small quan- |
titv of public opinion in opposition to the re-election 1
of ."Sir. Van Burkn to the Presidency, and in favor of j
W Can. Harrison, but we imagine it must be an up
hill business. Whatovor objections the people
.South Carolina, or any portion of them have to .Mr.
A an Bcren, they are not of such a nature, as to
i induce them to support Gen. Harrison. He is not
the man upon whom to rally even a respectable opposition.

In this body, at least iu the I louso of Representatives,
there does not appear to bo the slightest atten- [
tion paid to the public business. No one can pos-1

was before the House, if it wcro not for the fact,
that we generally fir.d at the head, "speech of 3Ir. j

a fellow, by name, Scholasticos, happened
to pass by a well, where pcoj)le were as-'
scmbled to draw water. But having no i
rope nor bucket to do so with, they were
deliberating on the ways and means of pro-,
curing those necessary appendages. Pending
the discussion, which the sapient'
youth had overheard, lie drew nigh, & asked
I
what was the matter? One of the group
replied, that they were talking about the
well, which was very valuable for its excellent
water. And how do you know
that the water, being so deep, is excellent?
"NVc know it, was the reply, because our
fathers and all our people have drank of it.
Urank. ot ill exclaimed tiie wise one, icnai |

that there is in the upper public square of,
our town, a well whose water is like truth,,

Besides, this appendage would, no doubt, be!

our Town Authorities could be induced to'

Wo, the urand Jury ot Sunitcr District,
fur Spring Term, LS-10, having taken into
consideration various matters of a local nature,
do believe that uo evil which now exists
in this community is attended with
more injurious consequences than that of
retailing spirituous liquors. We look upon
it as a nuisance to the community and
would recommend to the Legislature to
take such measures to remedy the evil as
tliev in their wisdom mav think nroDer.
eith-r l>; ':l>nHsliing the License Laws
altogether. increasing the penalties, or
taking sucii other course as they might
think better calculated to put a stop to the
evil complained of.
