Correspondence of the Advertiser.

TIE New papcr-the Consiitutional Union
still lives, and moves, and has its being believe
is generally considered throughout the State, as
curiosity-a lusus nature something to cause the
old folks to wonder, and thc-young ones to cape
and sturc. 1t is certainly something nep, it not
strange, it is the only ScoTr'paper in the Slate.
Now, Messrs. EDlroRs, do not altogether agree
with the Union myself bcnga Democrat, and 1t
Whig but still, can't for the lifu If me see why
it should seem any more strange for II to advocate
the claim of ScorT and GRAHAM, than for the
Standard and Ercning Ne0s to advocate those Of
PIERCE and HING. |, with very many others Of
this State, cannot see the difference, as far as South
Carolina and her interests and local institutions arc
concerned, between the two prominent candidates
for the Presidency Gen. PIERCE is citizen Of
one of the most rabd abolition States in the Uni"n
and he has given no pledges. Of his soundness on
the slavery qucstion-hc is good Democrat and u
moderate man, and that is all that we can say OF
him. Gen. Scorr occupies the same platform, and,
as far as we are concerned, may be placed in the
same category, with the exception that he is IL
Whig, and the more distinguished and prominent
man Of the two. But forget myself did not
set down to discuss politics, but to give yon the
news, from the great and growing metropolis OF the
Palmetto State. 90
Well, to begin as usual, withsthe weather-for
that is a subject that is..always new, spicy
and intercstng-at least one would think so,

The fever is still among us, committing its ravase'

We received the painful intelligence by telegraph
yesterday from Boston, that DANIEL. W WEEsrER wa
lying at that city in dying state. 1t was not cx
pnctcd that he would survive the day. How ar

and fell together, like the pillars OF some might
fabric, smitten by the touch Of time.
learn from the Erening .Ncns of yesterday
that CArELL, the Wing candidate in Florida ha,

other parts Of the Union. Indignation meeting
arc being held, and the outrageous proceedings dc
