 SOUTH CAROLlNA.-In this little Kingdom of Mir.

ARKANSAS.-Rumors have been rife for several days past that the whgs of this little state have elect co their candidate (Ier) to Congress; but the idea is preposterous that have given the slightest credi, to it.

 a1- We have occasionally had some of our friends ask us, why we did not publish more against Mr.Van Buren?" We have generally replied that we did no, think it would do any good-that we considered him doomed man, and his administration fast draw ing to closethat we believed the people had alrea- dy condemned him and his measures; and that to pursue him further neither wise nor poitic-'hat we were anxious to place before tile people, in their true coors the character and services, and quaca- ,ions of Gen Harrison, that they might be enabled to judge correctly whether he not worthy the high es, stuton in the ion, and in the world. rather than to be waging war upon MT Van Buren's personal character While his friends constantly assail. ing Gen Harrison with all of opprobrious cpl lhets---such as "coward," granny" dotard,' c.ged cnndidaie,'' and the hke-we believed it was sufficient to reLu, these charges, wthou, attempting t3 fasten similar ones upon h,s competitor. We wished and still wish him to be judged by his public acts, irrespective of his private character. Let him stand or fall by this ordeal, and shall be satisfied.
 The Great Loco FOco Convention of the two coun. ties of Liich6eld and New.Haven. held at Waiertown last week, and which was to be addressed by J. c. Smith, IT,, T. II. Seymour, snd other DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMEN ! was the greatest tor rather small est) humbug of the season.

The suspicious hour arrived-the marshas were appoint ed-a platform erected upon Bishops 100 acre lot the procession formed--marehed two and two to the ground numbering jus, ss ls sec,ions-.hs officers of the meeting appointedand then came the call for the orators. First certain pipedlar of Woodbury was called upon. He " was sick. very sick-not sick of the day, not sick of the cause, but sick at The stomach"-and sat down. Silence Feigned tor awhile, when gentleman from Betblem was called up-" be was no, accustomed to public speakng" "-and was silent Next somebody from Waterbury was called to the stsnd--he was unprepared to address such anmsos and kgkly respectable auditory, bus if they would adjourn the meeting foT ono week. to meet ID his own sOwn. he would ihai pubic speakers were provided" And the meeting probably the most wo- begOne looking set Of men ever assembled-was ac- cordingy adjourned to this day at Waterbury. = Whether the distinguished gentlemen will .,hen appear, remains to be told.
