SEVENTEENTH DISTRICT.

There are certain jackson men in this district who
have been busy employed during the past year in de-.
vsng plans gain the Sena tora election this spring.
Extremely DESTROYS to find man bone Of their
bone" they have canvassed the heroic" force ofthe
district, but finding their numerical strength too small
to warrant the nomination Of declared Jacksonian,
they have set up quondam federast around whom
they may rally The nomination Of Gen. Sterling,
first made by n few youthful herotes 10 Ellsworth,
seconded by small sitting in Norfolk, and which was
finally brought to most brilliant contamination by
divided Convention oil JacksoD-men and few honest
democrats, is presented to the people for their
support! Do the Jacksonians suppose that the cleo
tors Of this district be caught by such miserable
manruveringi Do they think, by presenting Gen.
Sterling, TO gull the people iatO union Of sentiment
with themseIvesi That gentleman was first proposed
and his interests have since been sustained, exclusive
IN, say exclusively, by Jackson-men. His nomina-
toa is treated Jackson in the public prints iha, cir
culate in the distric,-advocated as scotland will be
supported such at the approaching election. The
democracy of the district cannot and tON compro-
mise their principles Ear as to vote for him.
Now let the honest electors look to it, whether by
supporting Gen. Sterling they do not play entirely in
the hands OF their foes aad Thus give an
advantage which may, for long time, os felt. 1 am
not opposed TO Gen. Sterling as ci,izen; but the
manner in which he was brought forward, and the
party that supports him, sufficient TO place the
nomination very low in the consideration Of the peO-
pie.

details Of the proceedings Of the South Carolina Con-
yention from day TO day. The members met on the
lib, and came to close on the 10Th. Some debate
was had, warm feelings thrown of, and some
bitter ana.hemas pronounced; but the Convention f.
nally passed an Ordinance, repeating all the former
ordinances, multiplying laws, &c. The following ordi-
nance was passed almost unanimously, there being
only four dssenents. THUS South Carolina returns

SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.

Mr.. Edtor-When the District System went into
operation, the eopIe of this county seem by common
consent to have adopted the principle that the mem
bers Of tile Senate should be elected (or two TERMS
unless some good reason should appear for superced
ing the candidate after the first trial. This policy il
is believed justified by many interesting considera-
lions. The tendency Of it is to give to the higher
branch Of the legislature the attribute Of stability, and
TO its members the qualification Of experienced the
Importance ofboh OF which in agoyernme nj OF checks
and balances need not lie developed. The people of
this county the last election chose new set Of can
didaes (Messrs. Pet,ibone and Miner having served
for two years, and Mr.. Mitchell having removed out
Of the county, and it will be admitted that the gentle
elected performed all the duties OF legislation in
that was creditabio 10 their constituents
No county occupied pro.sdrr station in the Senate
than the patriotic county Of L.ich6ed. Under these
circumstances the question arises whether the cleo
tors Of each Of the Districts will NOT adhere this
luiary practice Is there any reason why Messrs.
WILLIAMS, BUTLER, or SEDGWICK should be
dismissed from public employment Innovation in
this particular will lead the most disastrous conse
quences. confident appeal therefore, is taken to
the good sense and sound discretion of the electors
and we ask them TO pursue which is not only
required by justice faithful public servants but also
y the peace Of the community the homer of the
~, and the welfare of the state. TRUMBULL.

SEVENTEENTH DISTRICT.

Mr.. Editor-The Democracy Of this district feel
themselves completely deserted. Neither candidate
now before the people enter,ains those political senti
inens that congenia with the firm and tried de-
mocrats Of this district. We cannot vote for those
whose principles differ materially from own;-
not conceviug ourselves called upon either by the
voice OF duty patriotism, to surrender principles up
which we have long ac.ed-principles which we
deem vital TO the best interests Of country and
which by every honorable means feel determined
to support. In selecting man who will best unite
the democracy ofths district, eye can fall upon
one, who, by consistency Of conduct, intelligence, tr-
ed patriotism, and oflegislave experience, is more
deserving the office, will better discharge the duties
Of Senator for this district, than
PETER BIERCE, Esquire, of Corn,caH.
That gentleman is known throughout the disrict-and
al recent convention held in Salisbury for the pur
pose Of nominating Seaator for this district, he
ceived handsome suppor;-he votes Of all ,i,sG de-
mocFary being thrown Tor him. He then 10 the man.
whom we. in convention have virtually chosen--and

Mr. Edaor-We have now two candidates in the
18th District for pubic suffrage. 1t is not necessary
TO inquire into the of the nomination Of either
Both are before the public. And situated as is our
district think it unfortunate that two gentlemen,
heretofore belonging TO the same party in national rs
well as state politics. and each possessing the requisite
qualifications, should be held up. We must however
take things as they rise OF Gen. Sedgwick, it may
truly be said that he gentleman Of fair attanme mis-
and respectable ability. But Gen Sterling has cha
racter and standing in tie state conceive much
perlor to him. He is more aged man, better ac-
quanted with the condition and circumstances of the
country, and in my view altogether better calculated
Tor the office OF "grave and reverend Senator than
his youthful competitor. IL urging his claims upon
the electors of the district, would not speak dspara-
gingy Of Gen. Sedgwck. think it is fortunate tina,
our district has many capable Of representing us
in the Senate. AT the present time hope General
Sterling may succeed. And such believe is the opin-
ion of majority Of tbs electors Of CANAAN.
