was *a pncoclt frr.m vntinir Tii.-ti .>
of Senator Fitch. The ?riter, after speak- j

extracts from it, which 1 think will be ,
found worthy of S. S. .Prentiss in his

Mr. Filch hit off the new delegates, '

The balance, laboring under the ' embar* ^

Mr. Krum's position as Chairman of thnt
Committee is |>r<iof conclusive th%t our
Democratic institutions are yet frvm from

feebleness ot his understanding fur the.

Suhiller says: ,
' Against stupidity tho very gods fight unvictorioas,"
ind stands to-day, the highest official ex uao
for ita gioss and rank violation of!
Democratic usage. The minnrity'report,
>n tho contrary, was Aiistotlun in tli? I
lerenity of its logic, unimpeachable in its
tatoment of facts, and unanswerable iti its
conclusions. It differs-froin Mr. Kium's
eport, inasmuch as it is the production of
in educated gentleman, a logician, and a
vriter of power and clearness. It is a
locumenl all Democrats can reaJ with

Mr. 'Douglas' acceptance of the nomination?
because it had been mado without
any agency, interference or procurement
on his part, is thus happily satiiized by this
graceful young orator: ,
This is handsome. Since the bravo old J
Pagan days of Rom?r,when tlio Conscript 1

not had a more striking instance of disin- | r
teit'Sted self sacrifice. Evidently tho S<'n-M

tlie result of ton years of solicitation nr.d s

indulgences and pobt-cJ^4s; an attentive
forget fulness of. former principles, and an

assisted l>y a liberal exhibition of Belmont

The peculiar mode of selec^ng t^eir can- r

so handsomely greeted in an extreme Nor- v
thern community. Ileitis what Mr. Fitch <
said of Mr. Yancey: 1
If the Dougltfpitea havQ.- little argument,
it must bo granted fcoy have a desperate jj
lecunauy 01 epiiueis. Une ot tbe serious a
tnaledictiouR, conclusive at once of the. t
original purity, of the Douglas ticket, and f<
tbe actual sin of the tireckinridgo nornin.v .v
lion, is the oba'rge that we are Yanceyites. fl
That may or may not be offensive. L\?t uft *
see. The best reason adorn^-with the ^
bighe^loquence; ascourage to meet all a
comcRSfr the political field, and skill to 'to
confound them; eminence by^unhiersul 8

tThe whole line of the Laurens Railroad
presents but few fields of good cottou and
corn ; and from Newberry C. II. io Andereou

either.
It will certainly be very scarce winter and
priag for food and in<>uey. Tlio cotto(j. crop
promises worse than the corn, nmd the .means
of purchasing provisions will thus be very
limited.
