WoRKMEN WANTED.

In our last paper, we urged upon our cit
liens the necessity of establishing Female
School in our village. We know not wheth.
or our suggestion will be attended with any
benefit "r not. We will not let it rest thus,
At any rate.
To confess the fact, we are ashamed, for
the honor of our adopted District; we are
ashamed to ncknow ledge TO our cotempora-
ries, this humiIiating truth, that there is not
Female School at Lancaster. Were we
disposed TO, we could give the names of
many here, whose duty it Is to make Efforts
to establish n school. Nor is il the duty on
ly OF those who have daughters, every villa
ger is more or less interested.
We candidly believe there are some indi.
vidnals who would be content to live on n
mountain, or in a celler, so they had enough
to eat and drink, and could s1ye dollar or
TWO for rainy day" Public spirit, en-.
'argcd comprehensivencss, a disposition to
Improve, to keep up with the times, all, are
foolish senlncntalities to some men. When
this Is the case, how are the offspring.

fathers preceipts, do rs he hid. plant cotton

money, if he did not make il ; they are of no
use to their families, scarcely, and him
drance TO new improvements.
But we did not intend, when we wrote
the caption of this article, TO say one word
on the subject of Female Education--at an.
Other time wo will--our intention was TO
speak of the lack Of workmen here.
We invite carpenters, brick-layers, pain
ters, boot-makers, silyer-snliths, sadlcrs,
tailors, ali, to come here; they will find
work. The Court House Is to be enlarged

is low here, provisions cheap, and we war
rant tradesmen's pay as good as anywhere

out OF employment 10 come to Lancaster.

Governor of the State

Every alternate year, each District almost
of the State, puts forth one of her sons as n
suitable candidate for the gubcrnat oral
chair. 1t is almost impossible for newspa-
per editor, to recollect the names of all the
nominees, and utterly impossible to give each
ones views on the political questions of the
day. Gen. Wallace, Gen. jameson, Col
Pickens, Gen. Adams, Col Brown, Mr.. YEA
don and perhaps others have been nominated
for the office. Who is the best suited to
fill the chair, we cannot say. We are some
what predisposed in favor of Mr.. Yeadon,
hoping as no military title is prefxed to his
name, he might abolish the Militia system.
Our opinion however is, that Gen. Adams
of Richland, will be the next Governor of
South Carolina

where false representations having been
made. articles of spurious quality have BEEN
palmed off to the unsuspecting, as genuine.
For instance, we recolleet some time since
of gentleman purchasing the Rock Island
Cashmere from pedlar, cheaper than our
merchants can purchase it at the factory.
Another Instance was told to us of wor-
thy citizen engaging one Of these pedlars to
procure for him, sundry articles of silver
plate, spoons. &c. and two or three fine
catches, which he intended as presents to
his grandchildren. The pedlar in due time
returned with the plate all marked accord
ing to directions, and looking as bright as
new silver, and also with the gold watches.
He was paid for the whole, something like
eight hundred dollars What was The con.
stcrnation of all interested, after II shsrt
lapse of time, to find that the plate was Ger
man silver, and the watches but Of little
value? These arc some instances which
have occurred here.
The citizen who purchases goods from
these fellows, though unwiIingly, is abso-
lutcly an abettor in the nefarious traffic
During the last winter and fall, several NOR.
camille establishments have been robbed in
Charleston no doubt there has, but some of
these stolen goods have been vended in Ian
caster District; therefore it is n clear propo-
sition, that the purchaser encourages the
pedlar to continue the traffic. Nor is this
all, these pcdlars are generally mean, low
like German Jews. They place themselves
on the same level as our colored population.
converse with them freely, and partake of
their hospitality at the same time they are
robbing them, (for the deception they prac-
tice amounts to thcft.) Who can tell then,
but that abolition doctrines are dissemina-
ted! We warrant, that many an act ofcrime
committed by negroes, if traced out, would
find its origin in the influence of some low
white men. We rccolect negro was hung
in one of our upper districts several years
ago, and in his confession made the signifi-
cant observation, that were i. not for te in
fuence Of mean, Lo,O tohite men, he would not
have been brought to the gallows.
What has become of the Merchants As
sociauon? We were glad to see the una
nimity on the part of our Merchants here to
unite in an organization of the kind, and
were of the opinion it would be attended
with benefit to Themselves. We had thought
that moro could be accomplished, than
merely soaring away the pedlars. What it
was in the power or sphere of the nssocia-
ton to accomplish, is better known to its
members than to us, but from what we had
heard, We really believed they had in con
temptation the accomplishment of more than
they have done. What has become of the
Association!
At another time we nay speak on this
subject again.

this association were good, and at the time
we penned an article in commentator of IL
which however, on account Of the lack of
hands in our office, at the time, could not np.

The special object of the association was
to put check TO the Illegal traffic carried
on by the pedlars, and reward of twenty
five dollars was offered, by advertisement In
our paper, for the proof to conviction, of
any pedlar or pedlars vending goods in the
District without license. The ADVERTISE
