PALMETTO BOOT AND SHOE polish.
MEssRs. EVANS & WOODWARD

MESSRS EVANS & WOODWARD,
WOULD respectfully inform the citizens of York
w vile and the surrounding country, that they
are still MANUFACTURING the above POLISH,
and are now prepared to ship to any portion of the
South. All who have used the Palmetto Polish, are
acquainted with its qualities and pronounce it to be
the best ever before offered to the public.
From the fact of its having tendency to protect
the leather, and is more durable than ordinary
BLACKING, and at the same time does not soil
clothing All we ask is fair trial, when all who
use it will be- convinced of its qualities over other
Blacking. Send in your orders to THOMAS H.
TOMLINSON, Esq, our Agent, or ourselves, and
they shall be promptly and quickly attended to.

hence the Importance of South Carolina emerging
from the proud isolation which she has occupied for
so many years, and of taking that position in the
National Convention to which the intellect of her
sons and the commanding weight of her character
among the southern people eminently enttle her.
1t seems strange to u.s. we must confess, that this
gallant State, which on every occasion throws her
suurages for the democratic candidate for President
and rouses in her behalf by the disntcrested magma
nlmlty OF her position the ardent feelings of the
democracy of other States should refuse to aid her
sisters Of the South and to encourage her sisters Of
the North, with her presence in those conventions
upon the decisions Of which many grave interests
depend 1t is, indeed to the credit and to the hon
or Of the democratic party that, while South Carroll
M has not mingled in the councils which have seec
ted our candidates. yet that in all cases the prnci
pies there avowed have generally met the approba-
ton of her investigating On impartial Judgment
And why, at the present moment, when the advice
Of the best friends of the constitution is needed to
protect that instrument against the efforts of its
worst woes-why should not South Carolina come
forward and take part in the deliberations at Cncin
natl when the democratic party meets in national
convention! We confidently anticipate that the &C
ton of that convention will meet the approval of
South Carolina. 1t is easy to that far rs re-
CARDS the doctrines there to be laid down, they will
be such as the entire South can approve, such as will
bring the democracy together as one unbroken
brotherhood. 1t would be cap-sheaf to the noble
column if South Carolina could be present when our
candidate is selected and our creed proclaimed to
add her voice to the ceremony which announces
both to the democracy of the American Uunion.

removed to the country cannot in justice to my
SELF without to some extent sacrificing my private

for the Office. The same reason would apply, if
should be so fortunate as to be reelected. I have
heard it whispered in certain quarters, that had
withdrawn in favor of particular candidate in the
field I can only say that such report is without
the slightest foundation. There are number of as
pirants for the Office, any of whom would discharge
the trust honestly and faithfully and to the entire
satisfaction of the District. repeat it that am
only induced to take this step, because my private
affairs imperatively demand it.

knowledgement of the debt of gratitude owe my

their duty has greatly ightened my abors and rem
