For the Register.

Mr.. EDITOR Il see in several numbers
of the Register, communications recon-
mending sundry persons for the Office of
Judge of the Supreme court. &c, This
is as it should be. Let all the prominent
men suitable for the different offices be
brought before the people.
The new Constitution creates some new
offices and changes the mode of filling all
the old ones. This is also as it should be.
Let the people choose their own agents.
and make these agents accountable to the
people. Let this be accomplished and
Virginia will begin to look up. When a
man receives an Office now, it will not be
for life ; moreover. he will not have to
look to one or two influential friends for
that Office, but to the people,; and after a
reasonable term, he must lay that Office
down at the feet of the people, to be
again filled by him or others, as they may
see fit.
The New Constitution retains the Board
of Public Works, but that Board is formed
differently from the old one. The State
is laid off into districts by the Legislature.
and each district elects one member of
that Board. This is one of the most (if
not the most important offices in the gift of
the people. Upon this board of commits
sioners depends much of the prosperity of
our country. 1t should be composed of
practical business men.
This portion of the State will be entitled
to one member of that Board, and in cas-
ting about, my mind has fallen upon DOct.
JESSE Flowers. as very suitable person
to become candidate for that office
The Doctor is we'll known as far seeing
business man, and in my opinion the very
best man to fill the Office that we have in this
section of the State. know not what
the Doctors feelings are upon this subject,
but as he has always been the peoples
man, he is respectfully requested to allow
his name to be made use of by his friends
in connection with that honorable position.
This article is not written without consul
tation, and should he do as desired, he
will receive hearty support from
MANY VoTKRs.

KossUTH.

This man has created more excitement
throughout this country, than any other
person who has ever visited our shores.
with the exception of Lafayette. His
stay in New York was a succession OF
honors by corporations, committees and
individuals. He has made number OF
speeches in which he has declared the
object of his visit to this country TO be to
procure its aid and influence in favor Of
Hungary. He wants the aid of the peo-
pie in prosecuting the war against Austria,
and the influence of the Government to
prevent Russia from interfering in the
struggle. The former he is likely to get
to certain extent. as several gentlemen
of New York have already contributed
$1,000 each, and others have contributed
smaller amounts. A Hungarian Nation
al Loan Committee is about being estab-
lished in New York, to receive the amounts
of those disposed to contribute to this
object. The impression made by the ell
oquence of the Elk Governor in favor of
Hungary, has been very great among the
people, but what impression it viii make
upon the government remains to be seen.
We doubt very much, however, if he sue
coed, in inducing it to take any part in
the matter. The policy of this govern
ment heretofore has been not to interfere
in European affairs, or permit the pow
ers of that country to meddle with Amer
lean matters.
The sympathies of the American peo-
pie are always enlisted in behalf of those
who are struggling for liberty against the
expressions of tyranny, yet it becomes us
to be cautious how we endanger our own
institutions in commencing cruSad,,
against despotism throughout the world.
If the moral influence of this govei
ment can effect anything for oppressed
hungary, we should he greatly rejoiced
to see her benefited by it but the poll
cy of going further, is at least question
able.

umns with accounts of his reception.
speeches, &C., but we cannot refrain from
laying before our readers an extract from
his address made at Castle Garded. in
New York. He evinces love of liberty
and devotion to his country. which must
command the admiration and respect of
every true patriot.

HUMANE ACT.-There is much more
distress amongst the poor of our city than
any of us are willing to believe, and yet
from causes that some would think rldlcu-
lous, that distress does not reach the pub
lie ear. For instance, a lady who has
held prominent position in society, mo-
wing hand in hand with that class, which
is considered the very best, loses her hus-
band, and she has no resources to fall
back upon: What is she to do? She is
too proud to ask charity of those whom
she has met as equals, and even if she
was not, she feels that she might meet
with a rebuff, in case she did, which
would be too notifying to bear. OF
course she would rather call to aid some
of the elements Of her education received
in the days of her girlhood; say, instruc-
ton in music, teaching school, or the en-
Payments Of the needle.
Dropping in last week at a merchant
taiors store on Main street, between
Fourth and Fifth, we became from the
situation We occupied, an unwilling lis
tener to scene that reminded US of the
above fault that exists in society. A la
DIV came into the store-She was lady,
as her every appearance betokened-and
asked the proprietor for some vests to
make. That proprietor and lady had met
before, but it was under different circum.
stances, then the lady was the gayest OF
the gay, moving in a circle to which he
aspired not, for his associations were con-
fined to another sphere. She remember
| ed him, and hence the reason she appli-
ed to him with more timidity and morti-
feation, feeling that there might have
been time when he could have thought
himself hattered at some of her inconSid'
crate conduct. She was mistaken in his
character, for he always felt that he was
so much of man that the highest of ma
lures noblemen could not slight him, and
woman could not offend him.
That proprietor was most reluctantly
compelled to tell the lady that be had not
single job on hand, having given out
the last but few moments before, The
announcement seemed to nearly break the
lady's heart, for she Immediately exclaim-
ed: What shall do for myself and
children? l have no money. no work.
nor any means of relieving heir wants.
This is the seventh place, to which / have
applied, to all Of which have been rein
sed. For the sake of humanity, sir, 10
give me some employment"
Wepitied the poor woman, and so did
our friend, for she had no sooner made her
appeal than he ordered his foreman to cut
out half dozen vests which was done
and handed oNerto the lady to make

LEGISLATURE OF South CARoLIEA.-The
Senate adopted the resolution, asserting
that in fixing the day for the assembling
of the Convention, it was to enable the
people, in their sovereign capacity, to re-
sort to such mode of resistance as they
may determine upon, and TO vindicate the
State from the aspersion so layishly cast
upon her that she has submitted. in COM
mon with other Southern States. to the
past aggressions Of the Federal Govern
ment. In the House to-day. this resolu-
ton was laid on the table.
The Senate to-day, refused the appli-
cation Of the General Government for the
sale of the Lighthouse at Bull Bay.

~ Gen. Sam. Houston the hero Of
San Jacinto, the father of Texas, and a
candidate for the Presidency, has this
week taken his seat in the Senate. He is
in fine health, (says a correspondent Of
the Baltimore Clipper.) looks as vigorous
as the youngest man in the Senate, and
much more savage with his Tiger Vest,
which attracts the attention of every body.
The vest is the actual skin of the Cougar
or wild Leopard of Texas, which the old
warrior killed with his own rifle. Sam
Houston has been full of wild romance In
all his life, and he'll die romsntically.

GT We last week alluded to the wan
of proper organization of the Demo
cratic party. to enable them to unite then
strength and truly represent the sen,i.
ments of majority of the citizens of the
county in the selection of their officers
The recent vote for State officers in this
county incontrovertibly proves, that the
Democratic party is decidedly in the as
cendancy, and simple justice would seem
to demand that the political opinions OF
that majority should be respected in the
choice of rulers. This, however, was not
altogether the case at the last election
One gentleman was elected whose politi-
cal principles did not agree with the mas
ses. We have not word of fault to find
with Mr.. Moore, personally. Indeed we
esteem him highly as a man and citizen,
and will do him the justice to say, that
this is the estimation in which he is held
in this community. But we profess to
look farther and be governed by other mo-
tives than the personal qualifications of a
man exclusively, particularly when our
own candidates are not inferior in this re-
spect. We profess to be governed by
principles in the selection of our law ma
kers, and can, conscienliously. support
only such men as coincide with us in those
principles. We believe hat the measures
advocated and supported by the Demo-
cratic party, are the most calculated to
promote the best interests of the country,
and consequently, we are in duty bound
to support them. This we lily do by vo-
ting for a man whom we know will oppose
them, whatever his personal qualifca-
tons may be.
But voting for the opposing candidate
is not the only nor the most effectual
manner of contributing to our defeat A
want of harmony and unanimity of action
is the great cause of the discontinue of
our candidates in more counties than Har-
rison, and unless united and liberal dis
position is manifested, we never can pre-.
sent an unbroken front to the enemy, or
at any time be secure in the just represen-
tation of our political views. This can
best be accomplished by thorough or
ganization of our party strength. There
are several ways of doing this. which will
enable every part of the county to be fair
ly represented. and etfec.ually prevent any
person from being forced upon the party
by few of his select friends, or because
he imagines himself to be the best person
in the county for the particular Office to
which he aspires, The voters of each po-
litical party-those who are expected to
supper; them at the election, should Them
selves select the men for whom they desire
to vote.
We hope the people will serious
ly consider this matter and act as
they in their judgement may think best.
We give our own views on the subject,
with nothing at heart but the success of
the principles we have always cherished
and of the party with which we have al
ways acted.
