WEBSTER AGAINST SCOTT.

One of the signs that Daniel Webster is against
the ScottSeward ticket is to be found in the fact
that as Secretary of State he is giving the pubca-
ton of the laws to anti-Scott Wing papers. The
Editor of the Wilmington Commercial has Just re-
celved the appointment of publisher of the laws,
and IN reply to some remarks of the Herald, says
Mr.. WEBsTERs Letter, giving notice Of our
appointment, is dated - Washington, June "a so

WING PLATFORM. Mr.. Greeley thus expresses his
OPINION of the platform, and gives his running COM
mentary on it:
o., ne nextjob was the platform-a thorough Hunk
osh piece of homework concocted of Southern pine
ana rather awkwardly polished. Our friends were
GuNsed and urged by the Southern Scott men to let
pass quietly, as the Webster and Fillmore men had
;oed hands to pass it any how, and any violent de-
mlned resistance to its adoption by the Northern
OF Scott would subject them to odium, and
p a defeat Old Chippewa's nomination. So. af

FREE SUFFRAGE.

great measure remove all doubts about the propnety
OF the proposed change in the Constitution. But
aside from this popular demonstration there many
and good reasons for this change. 1t is said the two
Houses represent distinct interests in society, one has
personal and the other property qualification, so
that these two constituent elements representing
separately and therefore liable no imposition from
each other. But as the Legislature is framed

community. This distinction is barely kept up in a

reason why a law which has never been adopted in

terday states that Sunday night, about IL O'CLOCK
two persons came to the house of Mr.. HERRING, In
Columbia county, the Washington Road. nine
miles above Augusta, and called him to the front door,
and requested to be allowed to stay all night. He
asked them in. They told him to come out, as they
had horse and buggy with them AS soon as he
got outside the door. he was shot down. Mrs. HER
RING then barred the door, and prevented the entrance
of the murderers. About hour afterwards, they
returned and fired through auger hole In the door
and killed her. She died in a few minutes after be-
inp shot. They then entered the house and took
therefrom one hundred and seventy dollars.
Mr. HERRING survived to give the above partcu-
lars of the arocious affair, and still living at the
last accounts. He shot twice. and had two balls
in his body. There is no prospect OF MS recovery
from his wounds. He states that of the was

FREE SUFFRAGE. We publish in another column
the Proclamation of Gov Reid, issued in conformity
with an act of the last Legislature, in reference to
the questi on of the extension of suffrage. This
question will be submitted to the next Legislature
and if approved, will then be submitted 10 the peo-
pie for their final ratification. 1t has already passed
through the first stage of its progress. At the last
State elections, the people declared in its favor by
triumphanty electng Democratic Governor and a
Democratic Legislature. And it will become the
duty of the people select their candidates for the
Legislature with direct reference to this matter 1t
will not do recede from principle founded In
right and Justice, and approved by majority OF the
people of the State. But the Democracy have the
matter in hand-it is their measure-they orlgIna ted
it-they gave it form and shape, and they Will con,
summate it, under The leadership of their tried and
faithful champion, DAVID S. REID.
While on this subject. we will venture 10 make a
prediction. Our Wing friends will not dare to tace
the music of Free Suffrage in the approaching cam
pagn but will attempt to steal Democratic thunder
Their man Manly beaten in the last contest be-
cause of his opposition this republican principle
and they amt going to risk another defeat on that
rickety platform-take our word for it. They amt
in the habit of sticking to that amt Popu-
lar but we tell em in advance, if they can't keep their
heads above water without jumping on our raft,
they must drown-thats all
