prospect before the Democratic party in this
State, things are beginning to assume more
definite forms, and shapes are looming in the
horizon portendlng evil to the powers that be,
buoying hope in the bosom of the disconsola,e
members of the great National Democratic
party. Tho consolidation of that section Of the
party who divided in National point of view,
for sectional purposes, gives the Empire state
again into the hands Of its rightful rulers, and
the universal system of lavish expenditures
which the whig party have carried on lorthe
last two ycars, vii! in great measure, ruin
their own prospects for 1850. The whig
nominees, with the exception of Joshua A.
Spencer, and Samuel Stevens, are all the
present incumbents, but Mr.. Spencer, though
a profound and able lawyer, is opposed
to the present legal reforms which have
been made in The state, and inclines 10
the ancient mysticism and intrcacies of the
past, and even of the present, (ridc our own
s,atc) which for Judge, must act prcjudicial
to his interests with tho million; Mr.. Stevens,
is the nominee for the Office of state Surveyor
i'll place of MIR. Stewart, who has Just stept
into the shoes Of McAlfrin, the Engineer Of
the U. S. dry dock at tho Navy Yard, Brook
Ign, and being ncw man, and from the inte-
rior of thesis has no possible show for an
election Bcsalcs al, the Wings themselves
have great doubts; solnc o: the present in
cunbcnts, who have been rc-nornina,ed, are
not popular with their own party, sectional
divisions are Of daily occurrence in reference
to the Government spoile, some praising.
while others are c,crnaly d-g Gen, Tay-
lor's action in relation to the various wire. pull
llng-lnlercs,s in the state. On the whole
can see no chance for them although their
ticket is an excellent one. The hybrid ticket
OF the democrats, although the Union of ADO
hhonisfs to the old and true party is to be un-
iversally regretted in national point of view,
will most likely sweep the state, and if SO
Democratic Administration must succeed the
present misrule of the Wings. The country
nominations Of neither party have as yet been
made, but, from the way the wind is now blow
Ing, it seems decided tha, no Free.soilcr shall,
receive even nomination. Bu., truce to
Politics. The great subject Of intcres, for
some two or three weeks hls been the trial
OF the first batch o! rioters, (Astor-place, or Fo-
rest boys) al the late theatical cmcute, during
which the military were called out and peace
restored only at the sacrifice Of twenty seven
lives. At the head the number and tho Lion
Dff tho trio
l'ar!y known as Ned Buntlne, whose bantlins,
scarrllous paper bearing his name is well
known to all South Carolnians from his at
tempted attacks on some Of itS citizens; the
Jury after nearly three weeks arduous duty,
brought them in gnihy-and they were all
sentenced to the county prison or penitentiary
or different terms, tho largest, and greatest,
which the law allows being mcetcd out to the
leader Buntllne, viz: one year Imprisonment
and $3.50 fine, which seemed to have given
general satisfaction. On the same, day, his
wife, beautiful and intellectual lady, 10
whom he had been united under false preten
COS, and whom he has used in the most brutal
and shameful manner, obtained divoce from
HIM, which will prevent his attempting ma,r-
mony in future. We trust, after wears
rustication, he will come again into the world,
better man, resolved to use the abilities and
talents which Nature has gifted him TO bet
ter purpose. Talking of divorces, Mrs. f.
kcmb!c Butler, has at last been divorced
from her husband, in consequence of her non
appearance before n Pennsylvania Court, but
with permission that either party may marry
again, Of which privilege Mr.. Pierce Butler in.
tends to avail himself by leading to the (h)
altar Miss Bayard of Delaware State,
"Oh shame whore is thy blush
where does the girls, sense and taste lie I
wonder. The prevalence OF the fever, al,ho'
Oh mild type, in Charleston is to te regretted
but owing to the late period of the season at
which it has appeared, we have every hone Of
lis speedy departure. Trade is very brisk in
this city and prices are rising particularly do
mc5tcs. The burning Of The shp Charleston
has prevented several OF our Sumter merchants
rom receiving their winter stock purchased y,
the North, but, as they have made so ouick am
end and return OF them Oor they were all in
sured), we would advise them to purchase all
they can in Charleston. Their own interest,
however, would dictate this course, as pricos
must necessarily have fallen in the latter mar
ket, in order to obta;n even a slight glimpse
Of a Fall business.
