DEAR SIR
The electoral campaign Of the coming fall alread,
exhibits its Importance by the mass ofshadow whlcl
it casts before We have to elect for Congress anc
for the State Legislature The Office OF Governor
is to be iled-of Sherifi-of Ordinary-and, this toe
independent of our civic municipalities. Appeal
are being made By candidates and their friends IL
the sutlragans. Mr. Brown, the incumbent of the
Sheriff4lty, with Mr.. Holbick, the Clerk OF the
Courts, and Mr.. Cooper, of the judicial magls-
trates, are the centre of the Court House clique
they are formidable, for around them rally the
young and the sulors of justice nor must we for
get the patronage of their position, and their own
acknowledged talents. Then comes the hosts that
are led into battle by the Council; this able body
Mr. Mcdonald stands in the van-a position accord
ed TO Ills abandonment of SELF or fortune has rals
I'd him above the desires of petty ambition)-his
trlthfulness TO his friends, but ABOVE all to will
hat seems to have the power OF energslng all thai
come within the magic OF the contact. The patron
,ge OF Council is said to be good tor three hundret
votes: you know we oil about fifteen hundred -
rse next distinctive body that presents itself, Is tn
fede raj ofhcers-Aiired lluger, Esq, may be said Il
prominent here: Mr. Huger, Is always deservin-
If notice, IN every enumeration OF eminent men -
HIS ancestors were of that noble which fled
from the persecution OF the Bourbon, nearly two
centuries ago and the hereditary chvalry OF class
that knows the right and fears not TO do IT, lives IN
OF the noblest principles, and highest integrity
Mr. Huger Is our postmaster he Is faVorte with
the merchants, because he is puncual, and his
clerks are attentive He is avorlte with the pco-
pie, because he has no anxleties about his position
in society, and hence every honest man inds
friend in Hueer. But as you are aware OF the wish
es of President Tyler in regard TO federal officers
medding with politics, those of Charleston (save In
the exercise of their right OF private opnon,) have
long ceased to be known at the histings yet not,
withstanding this, should Mr.. Holmes resign, and
Mr. Alfred Huger consent TO stand, he would OBJ
tain powerful support.
We may now mention the Bank powers, and
here Mr.. kerl}ovce claims your first regard II the
Petegruss, the Legare's, the Manigauts, the De-
saujoures, the Debansk s, the Dehons Ind the other
descendants of the Huguenots. and representatives
of the ancient planters and families OF Carolina
would lift the banner of Huger, Boyce and the
banks may raise a shout which the democracy, and
the mechanics, and the brokers, and the shop keep
ers may not refuse 10 answer. Boyce and the city
democracy some two years ago were fairly p'tted
against Col. Ash and the agricultural arIstocratlc
influence, and twice did the first push the plough
man OF Newberry into the Senate.
Col Thomas Leary Fis Ordinary of the district
his time expires next January. The office Is IN the
a candidate for reelection Like that OF the
Clerk of Common Peas-like that of the office
of Sheriff, and Treasurer, and Comptroller, the
compensation vsrges upon, If 1t does not exceed
5000 per aDnum. Mr.. Alexander Brown, II Is SAID,
will oppose the reelection of Col. Leary. Popu-
lar talented, and enterprisng, Sandy unquestlon-
IDLY is, he cannot succeed against honest Tom
Leary. II patient attention to the claims OF par
ties before his Court If an impartial admlnistra-
lion of Justice, that even unsuccessful suffers de-
light to honor-If an upright, enlightened and dill
gent discharge of the duties of otiice- the bland
ST manners, the most accessible dlsposlon-the
Sindest heart, the clearest head are recommenda-
ITEMS the good will of free, generous and just
constituency, like that of Chareston-if these, we
say, are virtues, and merits, then you may depend
on it, your friend COL Leary will be reelected and
by triumphant majority.
So after ALL the English (under Colonel Pollock
