Democratic majority in the State OF South
Carolina, a. the las, election for members OF
the State Legislature, was about .torty'sere"
thousand. Now, if the Wings haze any
strength in that State, il would have been ex-
hibited at that election. Aware that "Gener-

Wings ofthe Palmetto State. we will sup

FOX party unable to elect single member OF
the State Legislature, and it gives "the man
who ran against Mr.. Clay" clear majority
of thirty thousand IN South. Carolina. This adj

gives the Democratic candidate majority Of

people themselves what they have not decided

a concentration of wealth, in the hands Of
few men, TO be used for any selfish aud cor
rup. purpose they may choose, T. to create an
aristocracy of wealth in our midst is hardly
consistent with the principles Of Democratic
government. They have decided against your

"Fair Hlay" is out again in the Burling.
ton Gazette, endeavoring to show Burlington
the better market place Of the two, for which
purpose he quotes from an address published
by the Working mems Union, fan association
recently formed for the better protection Of
labor,) in which allusion was made to case
or two in which merchants had charged a
greater than the cash price for goods delivered
upon orders drawn for labor performed. The
statement was based upon these cases, and
had no allusion, we presume, to the general
customs Of our merchants, whom We consid-
er. without exception, liberal, high.nioded
and honorable. Did we not feel assured that
those who have traded at bo,hlpoin,s know
that better bargains can be had here than in
Burlington, we should pay further attention
to the matter.

Their satisfactory 10 every citizen, should be
urged as reasons for opposing its adoption
