Mr.. Editor-As the general election is

probable there will be an effor, made to di-
vide the District, and as this is a question
that will admit of u difference Of opinion
respecting its expedieney or proprie'y, |

question at the ballo,-box, by requesting
each voter to endorse on his ticket .Divis-

Should there be majority in favor of a
division, the Legislature Of course should
attend 10 il. If a majority should be against
a division, then i, would he useless and

9 What are your views in relation 10

To The second question. answer thai,
am opposed TO the remedy recommended

Mr.. itor:-Tbe Candidates for The
Senate and House of Representatives OF
Edgefeld District have thought proper in
their wisdom, thus far to remain silent,
upon the inleIrogalories propounded to

When } penned those mlerrogatories,

which must acknowledge / have been

it is the right ofeach voter to ask any prop
er question, and the duty of the Candi-
date TO answer, and particularly when so
important measure will be brought be-
fore those elected, as the change of the
Constitution Of our State.
Some of the o,her inrerrogatories are E.

!" HAMBURG REPUBLICANS

We commend to The friendly consider.
alton of our political friends, the Prospec-
tus, in our advertising columns, Of This
new Democratic paper 10 be established
in Hamburg. Such o paper is greatly
needed there, and as tits to be commenced
as soon as sufficient number Of snbscri-
hers is obtained to warrant il, and desira-
BILE that il should commence as early as
practicable, we hope those friends who
are disposed 10 aid il with their patronage
will do so withon, delay. The proposer,
Mr.. Cochran. is an intelligent man, ,anold,
firm, and consistent Democrat. .Sof exien-
sive practical experience in the general
and local political affairs Of the country,
and very able and efficient practical lprin-
Ter, and we feel assured viii furnish his
subscribers with an interesting and, valu-
able paper. The city Of Hamburg is
! place Of extensive commercial intercourse
with The State, especially the upper Dis
tricis ofil, the citizens of which will Of
course frd ilsto their interest TO take a pa
per there, aad that paper will necessa.
riIy exercise much influence over The po-
lItical principles of themselves and their
children. When we published the Au-
gusta Chronicle, it entirely accorded with
the politics Of this State, and had an ex-
lensive circulation in those ;Dis:ricrs. II
has since become a Whig print, and be-
ing conducted with talent and spirit, has
no doubt had much influence in producing
the increase of Wings there. The only
! ..oner in =HomhIra- -far1.erI va Democrat
ic one, is now Wing, an advocate of
Mr.. Clay. and many doubtless take il,
who wouldtpsefer Democratic paper, II
there was such on g in the place. 1t has
an undoubted right 10 advocate and pro.
mote The advancement ofits principles by
all honorable means; an so have they
who differ from IL; aud it is natural that
the laner. in their desire that their princi-
piles should have fair and equal chance,
should take an interest in the establish
ment Of Democratic paperin Hamburg.
Let all such, whether interested in the bus
mess in Hamburg or not, prove their faith
by their works, by lending the REpuBLI-
CAN helping band in the advancement
Of thai faith, for the first year at least
That fret year is always the time of trial
with n.1 paper The sum required for
a years subscription will be small mat
Ter to many devoted friends Of The Stale
and her great principles, and as they can
not consider The sustainment Of those prin-
ciples small and unimportant matter, We
trust they will literally aid this new move-
ment to that effect, with both their sub
|scriplion and their influence. We might
say much more in its behalf. but are con.
strained from il by want of room. and trust,
100. that it is moi all necessary. II will
afford US pleasure 10 receive and forward
