ELEcroRs By THE PEopLE:-Public attention

Presses Of The State, and addresses OF Candi-
dates for the Legislature, undergone some dis

but have heretofore sad but little ON these sub

derwent some change. We once were rather
inclined to be in favor Of the proposition gige
these elections to the people. We are not so
now. Subsequent reflection has satisfied us
that it wonld be fatal policy.
The high position now held BY South Caro-
lima results, in n great measure, from the fact,
thar in politics We are united people. What
spectacle do we now present. with utyery;
few Wings in the State, aud not one in the Le:.

bordering upon US; whilst they are split into
parties, waging an almost exterminating war
upon one another, we are quiet and peacea.

All that strength may soon he needed, and let us
not, in pursuit Of any vIsoinary scheme of, I'M

and strong position. Our State Government,

In reference to tile Governors Office. IL fif,s

il has been conferred. without importantly, 0r

will Just let alone these proposed tamperings
