The "Dog STAR of politics is in the
ascendant, and until after the NoYem-
Der election it will be the reigning
power. Men viii be rabid under it,
and viii be as ready to snap at their
friends as at their enemies. They will
forget that a man possesses any good
qualities, unless, with them, he supports
Fremont, Buchanan, or Fillmore. All
who differ from them in choice of men
or measures, viii be traitors and apos-
tates until the returns are published,
and within a week afterward they will
bemetamorphosed into the same genial,
good-hearted friends they were before
the nominations.
What fOHyi Are the millions living
happily under the protection of our in
stitutions, to hate andvillify each other
because they differ in regard to govern
mental policy, while, one and all, desire
the welfare and prosperity Of their COM
mon country.
1t would be well for the people to
reflect that all Of his bitterness of feel
ing is aroused for the advancement Of
fer men, and hat to the masses ii
is matter Of little moment whether this
man or that be President. The wal
of politics is one in which the leader;
win the laurels, and the services Of the
rank and file are forgotten. The mer
who enlist in such a war are 'fOols fol
their palms," and deserve the neglec
which awaits them when discharged.

Information has been received that
a man Of bad reputation, by the name
of Rae, had been hungthe dayprevious,
about eight miles east of Florence.
The circumstances, as reported to Us,
are as follows:
Rae had been engaged in a suit,
wherein certain witnesses had given
evidence that they would not credit
him on oath, and he had threatened
revenge. The spring at the school
house had been poisoned, and the
children Of those testifying against
him, having drank of the water, were
dangerously i'll. Rae was suspicioned;
arrested on suspicion, and believed to
be guilty, given FIVE days to prepare
for leaving the State. Heleft sudden

Hickory county and brought back. He
was tried by what is denominated mob
