South Carolina.-Some of our democratic
friends contend that South Carolina will vote
for Pierce and King. Certainly she will. She
would be unworthy the name she has won, il
she did not. Pierce's vote against the right
of petition against Freedom, against the
Improvement of the rivers and harbors-hs
known advocacy of free trade, and subserven-
CIV to the will of ]. c. Calhoun has won for
him a palmetto laurel that South Carolina
will ever cherish.
South Carolina vote for Scott! The idea
is prepasterous. The null;ficrs of that State
recolect too well the scenes of 1882 when
Gen. Scott presented himself among them,
with commission from Gen. Jackson, to
put down the Treason they attempted at that
time They knew the promptness with
which he acted then, and they know full well
as President he would act equally promht.-
South Carolina will not vote for Scott, and
we cheerfully concede her tof'ierce andKing.
Take her, for the wings do not want her I'M
til she changes her spotS.-[ Richmond Pal.

CHoLERA.-Considerab alarm has exist
ed at Princeton at intervals on account of a
few sudden deaths by Cholera. We are glad
to hear there have been no new cases for a
few days past, and the alarm is calming down.
The health on the line of the Canal above
Princeton is said to be vry good, and we be-
lieve laborers are at work on every section,
although they do not number SO many in the
aggregate, as they did before the late alarm.

%Gen. Pierce has made other speeches
hated and deplored Slavery. The Washing
ton Union copied letter on the 2Sth of June
from the Boston Post, in which the following
sentiment appears:
Who did not deplore slavery! But what
sound thinking mind regards that as the only
evil which could rest upon the land, The
man who would dissolve the Union DID
NOT HATE OR DEPLORE SLAVERY
MORE THAN HE DID; but even with it
we had lived in peace, prosperity, and secu-
rity, from the foundation of our institutions
to the present. time.
This speech was delivered November 90,
1850. The Louisville Journal, in speaking
of this, says:
The fierce denials, put forth by the Demo-
cratic presses, of the remarks reported to
have been made by Gen. Pierce on the sub
ject Of slavery in his New Boston Speech are
after their own admissions as to what he did
say, just about as ridiculous as anything we
ever saw or heard or conceived of in all our
lives. Just think of a set of full. grown men
admitting that General Pierce said he hated
and deplored slavery as much as Garrison
and old Miss Folsom, yet swearing and hunt
ing certificates to prove that he didn't say he
abhored it-admitting that he declared slavery
to be violation of Of the moral sense of the
whole world, yet swearing and hunting GER
tiiicates to prove that he didn't declare it to
be blot upon the character of the nation
admitting that he said he hated and deplored
as much as any man on earth the holding OF
human beings in bondage, and regarded it as
an outrage upon the whole worlds moral
sense, yet swearing and hunting certificates
to prove that the didn't say he felt a loathing

THE CANAL.-There- is a large amount OF
work to be done yet on several sections oil
the. Canal, and it is highly desirable the
health continue good along the line. DIR.
Hosmer, one of the principal contractors on
the unfinished portion of the Canal, and who
has been steadily engaged travelling along
The line for some time, was confined here a
few days last week by sickness, but again
started up yesterday to Princeton. He says
the sub-contractors are pushing forward their
work vigorously. We are sure it will be no
fault of the principal or under contractors il
the work be not all done by the stipulated
time, the LIST of November. Some heavy
work yet remains to be done, which most
probably cannot be completed in three
months.

Right heartily do we wish our friends
around us and in the country, could have the
same opportunities with ourselves to notice
by reading papers from every quarter of the
country, the spirit of enthusiasm marking the
Wings all over the country. 1t seems to us
that from almost every village and hamlet
from the valleys and from the mountains
frcn the Gulf and Atlantic coast on the
South, to the Northern lakes-a mighty voice
is swelling up as in 1910 and '4S, telling that
the Wings of the Union are rising in their
power. There is no mistake in this. We
here, have but q faint idea of the enthusiasm
waking our brethren in other quarters; yet,
with US the good feeling is now finding its
home once more in our hearts. Even in our
own State, every paper, and every citizen
who has been visiting other sections, bring us
most cheering news. The Scott feeling is
sweeping every thing before it. Hundreds
of Democrats in this State will vote for Scott
who never voted the Wing ticket before
Certainly the Wings have everything to en-.
courage them. No wonder the signs from
she other party betoken deafness of feeling.
They have no principles to fight for which
can possibly find a representative in thei
candidate. Their man is not worth fight
ing for, judged by anything he has ever don,
for his country or this people. They canno
point out to the people one single advantage
which is likely to accrue to the country o
people by the election of Pierce-not ont
Nor can they give one reason why the peopl
should vote for Gen. Pierce to the Presidency
He even has not the advantage of being abl
to claim votes for any personal merits or abil
ity or great services of his own. What un
der hesven Democrats DO claim fer him, %
upon what they claim the votes of the people
is more we fear than themselves can tell

Gratis held their head quarters, he would not
have voted for Harrison! As it is, if he
votes for Pierce, he will vote for the man
