The Palmetto Association.
The Anniversary of this Association, says the
j i.nnriesioii Jlrrctiry, will be held in Columbia
; on the 8th of May next, on which occasion tlic
i Anniversary Address will be delivered by Major
j General Samuel McGowan, a gallant member of
j tlicPalnietto Regiment. "Welearn from private
advices, tliat. it is th? intention of General McGowan
to include in his address a full and minute
account of the services of the Pahnettocs in
Mcxico, and we know of no one more ably qualified
to do so. Gen. Quitman, on one occasion,
said "lie hoped to live to see a true history of the
Palmetto Kegiiiient written." The hope of our
I brave and beloved commander is soon to be realised.
Tlie lionor of forming the Palmetto Associn!

The Candidacy.
! The following from the Edgefield Advertiser
1 should have appeared, but for an oversight, in
the lost issue of our paper ; and we take-pleasure
in now presenting it to our readers :
Wc ore requested to sav that Mr. Spann is a
candidate for Congress, altho' gh he has not
been able to visit the other Districts, either to
j sec or address tlie people. . His expectation
I was tli.it the Oovenor would not order tlie
] election before October, and that. in the rnenn{
time nn opportunity would he afforded the
various candidates to cnnviiM the Congressional
District. He requests us to add that he
( is willing however to address his fellow citizens
in respect ty his views of the Federal Constitution
?md the proper policy of our Government,
whenever called on ; although the space
! -r A\~. ? * - r
i/i unit- ijcmre me election nnrl his personal 1
engagements will not, he foars, permit 'anything
like electioneering, even if he had a (lis
.position for such a task. **
t Gen. Iionliam is well known to he fully in
the field, so it is unnecessary to say anything
in reference to that fact.
We are the more ready to make this statement
as one of our exchanges in the Congreasional
District has expressed a'desire for definite
information in the-matter.

Tho Connecticut Election.
From the returns of the Connecticut, election , (
it seems tliut the Fusionisls consisting of Ho- j
puldicanism,'Americans, and Abolitionists, have |
succeeded in electing the Governor and other j ^

noble result for tbe Democrats, when it is con- j J
sidored that Fremont's majority in Connecticut I .
J .In
over Huchanan, was 7,717. The Semite consists j ^
of 15 Fusionists to tl Democrats; tlic House of

liiiisterinl majority ; and according to the j
,??mloii 'fimn, this is not merely a victory of I
alnicrrtton's, but n decided triumph in the |
nis>; of reform. A larger proportion of l.i- j
erals have been returned than in 1852; and
ie extension of the RiifTrnge, the ballot, and |
lectoral districts were prominent, topics in the j
iceches of (he candidate*. Toryism has been
t a discount, and a majority of the new
loii*e will he pledged to Parliamentary
eform.

loroughly identified with the eausc of C?nlitutional
Reform.
Among the incmhor* rejected arc Cobden,
tright, fiihson, I'o.v, AVahnsley, and other
ending spirits of the league. The Times atributes
their defeat to the fact they have reed
too much upon the past, and whilst proving
Reform principles, tlle3- have k-pt aloof
om the agitation of the sul>jcet in Parliament;
hat they have been too much for cotton and
no little for their country ; that they counsel
;<1 peace with Ilussia regardless of the honor
f their country. The 'Jimc* thus discourses
pon the future prospects of Reform:
"With so ninnv new men in. nnd so many
Id men out, we shall have n stroncr Parliament
ut of doors. Goliden. Bright, Gibson, Lavird.
Fox. Mini!, and their fellows hare too

The Tucker Will Case.
We extract from nil interesting Report of
his Case, in the Inst issue of the Manner, a
>rief summary of the arguments of Counsel,
ind of tlio Charge of presiding Judges. The
Jase was tried nt Laurens Spring Term 1857,
md involved the validity of tlio Will of oue
Ur. Tutilv^r, n bachelor, who had devised all
lis estate to Mr. W. W. Belcher of Abbeville
District, a stranger, to the exclusion of bis'own
elation?. The will was impeached, on the
ground of the incompetency of the testator;
if undue influence exercised over him by his
negro"George, and that it was made in contra>'ciition
of the A. A. 1811, against euiancipa.ion.
The Testator was a monomaniac; beieved
iiT witchcraft ?t;c ; but was of a retentive
neruoiy, and was able to transact his ordinary
business. George was his body servant^ and
exercised considerable influence over liiin. lie
lad bouurht himself from lii* ?n.l
sras now in a free State. ;At hisiustance n deed
>f trust of his master'* flegroes, was executed to
tfr. Belcher, contrary to the Act of 1861.
rhc foregoing brief statement will suffice to
sxplain the points mado in the argument of
klr. Thoinaou, and in the opinion of tbo Court:
"Mr. Thom?>n, of Abbeville, opened the case
or the Will, and briefly but pointedly touched
ipon the promjnent points involved in the case,
lie argued that the case was out of the Statute,
>ccausethe Will was not a bequest of negro**?
.he ncaroes had been convevod bv to Mr
Belcher, and not mentioned in the Will; that
n regard to competency no proof ha<f been
brought forward*?tlie Defendants relied upon
he peculiar idiosyneraei?.Uf the testator in regard
to witchcraft, and other dulirfop&j that if
iiia was proof of incompetency, that MiegreoU

The Verdict of tho Jury.
At the suggestion of h friend, (we think a
very proper idea.) we direct the amount of
damages in our case l<i lie embodied in n me*
tnorinl of the issue deeided by the law and jury.
No rill eh ease has- ever before been presented
to n judieinl tribunal, and no such claim of authority
and power by a corporation ever held.
Having submitted to the outrage to test a
great, question for the benefit of the press and
people, we may reasonably enjoy the satisfaction
of preserving a trophy of the triumph of
riirht and principle?more valuable because
"wrung for the relentless anil of the law."
