THE THIRD DISTRICT.

The last Hornets Nest and True Southron con-
tans the following statement of the " state of affairs
in the Third District:
estate OF AFFAIRS. As the whole State has
its attention directed towards this district we takeoc-
casion to make few remarks, which will set them
right upon the state of things here.
In the first place there has been entirely lost sight
of the distinction which few years ago, divided
men into parties, called whig and democratic. We
have been in search of Of the old partisans, but
we have not been successful in finding one.
We find some few violent Dockery men and a great
many States-rights Caldwell men, but as for the old
distinctions we seek for them in vain.
In the next place we get letters affirming the en-
couraging prospects of Caldwell; but these letters
come from men that belonged formerly to the two
distinguishing parties of the Country, and what might
appear strange to some, (but for the turn in the af
fars) those couched in the strongest language, are
from persons that ouce were wings.
And lastly, poor and rich, old and young, Of all
parties animated by the hope that the Major may
prove successful.
Mr.. Caldwell is an able debater, well versed in all
matters pertaining to Government, and has such
nobeness about hio that before the people, we know
no man that can compete with him.
The above is most cheering but few days vii!
solve all doubts. For ourpart, we have felt confident
from the first of Maj Cadwell's success and all that
is needed to ensure it is strong and united rally
the day ofelecon. We call upon the State Rights
of Moore, Anson, Richmond, and indeed upon all
men Of this stamp in the District, whom this paper
may reach before he election, to leaue uote unpo
e but to ,oork their gallant candidate from the ope-
ming Of the polls to the going do,on Of the sum- The
time for argument has passed, and the hour for acio"
has arrived. Great interests at stake in this ell
ection Gen. Dockerys uote he should be elected TO
the House, may turn the scale in auor Of the Consolida-
tionists Of the free STATES, and inuoue these States tn

himself party to the atrocious Decd Let this start
