TIDINGS FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.
We see with pleasure strong signs in
South Carolina OF what is ever point of
honor but little inferior 10 a victory we
mean, a gallant struggle. The Wings
have determined TO dispute the State IN
the ensuing campaign.
Their plan OF operations is briefly point :
ed out in the following Circular, Of which
copy has lately been put into our hands

in the city OF Charleston have formed them :
selves into Clay Club. Our object, the
promotion Of the election of the great A.
merican statesman our means, all fair and
honorable effort TO pursuade and convince

| try from hands which have not hesitated
| to violate the most sacred rights for their
private advantage.
To these great ends we invite your at
,en,ion and cooperation, feeling fully as
sured that there is a mass of dormant en-
ergy throughout the State that needs only
to be put into action to produce the hap.
piest results.
