^CHARLESTON,
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 17.
(f-\ N Thursday hft came on the Eledion of an
Intendant for this City, who, agreeable to
the Act of Incorporation, was to have been
<h^n by the citizens #/ /urgf,and from among the
hit of Wardens. No ciozen, who, for the latt
twelve Months had paid a tax, and no Warden,
however favoured in property or pretexted in perfen
; -y tieemmy, was excepted to. The Ad was li
beral, generous end even merciful ; and the world
must acknowledge, that the State of SOUTH
CAROLINA hath, i„ this, as in many other Le
g fofoe merciu, surpassed every other in the uni
on, ( GEORGIA exceptec) in Deeds of political
Philanthropy, party equipoise and gracious con
cifegßfion..
.The Lift of-Wtodm ran as follows ;
Richard Ilotfon, John Matthews, Thomas Rad
"•'• Joshua Ward, George Flagg, John Lewis
Gervais, Thomas Hayward, Bernard Beekman,
James Ncilfon, and Thomas Bee, Efqrs;
And Richard ffefa, and Thomas Bee, Efqrs;
Rood loemoft on t„e Roll of candidates. From
the temper of Parties it was hence thought there
would have been much division in the Suffrage;
efpeu^liy as the former had pressingly requeued
loany of his friends not to vote for him, and as
"'"^/^d circulated, that if chosen, be w u/d
rrlurte. Two hundred and forty-one fermd
'" %b<lj number of the then voters; out of
wheh Ricked l\tfa, Efa, had 114, and Thomas
Jsce, zoB fofragrs. Ihe few remaining were
gyen to other. Gentlemen. Had every charac
ter^ V,TO was qualified to vote on that dtfy, giv
es tn his fufhage, no doubt Mr. Hutfon would
'"", ' ^^y mote, at teaft, from among the
''" 1/ begs; but Inch was the popularity of the
map, among this ciafrod citizens, that the pre
sence of the whole was not neceflary.
It is a pieahng refleaion to all these who have
b '™, the fo^ ti faperters of AMERICAN fNDE-
P^NDhNCY, that no change of times, not ev^n
tee meek CTanfoe of thegr&veft Legislators, could
Guce tne hero advocates et cur cause to fweive
from their old principles, or warp them into measures
ifeco'c^bie with the glorious Fellowship of
tarriufo-The public with, and the fofemn
tar,,orfo ot his Fellow-men's choice, after all its
'^^v^tages, having been communicated to the
7te e/^wtandact, .®e :re happy to inform the
g^usne citizens of this State in general, and cf
thid city in particular, that Mr. Hutfon has no
bly acquiesced in the ele&ion, and yielded to their
^treaties, by hjs having already qualified to that
^T^ '"', '' a ° not ''" e!ct.:on Taken place, Mr
^cm^s Radc'iff, Jun. w as much spoken of, in
the crowd, for fite,fot_fhis Gentleman, tho'
faid,to havebee^ fnely cenftrained to acceptof Hf
t:R Pr^ftion, is nevertheiefs deemed a very worthy
citizen—His friends were fab and so many, that,
incate of ary scrutiny with Mr. Bee, it was sup
posed the latter would have had a difficult fcram
blc for the Intendancy, however desirous, defiiea
tore, and denied of may to that office.
A. b.
