HON. 1F.IY PIcXENs.

Among the many duties of tho South Carolina Leg
slaturo during its present session. the election of
United States Senator is far from being the most in
considerable. Several names are before that body
upon their respective merits; and prominent among
these, Edgcfcld points with pride and hope to that
of her faToritc son, Hon. +. ". PIcKEYs. Such are
the relations Of Col p and our Editor that he has
been over-scrupulous in forbearng to advocate as
and our renders could have wished him to do. the
undoubed claims of this pure Patriot and sagncious
Statesman and in his absence, we feel prompted here
to write q word or two upon our own responsibility.
We say then that k4itmmediato district of COL
PrcKEss most heartily ad earnestly desires his cle-
vaton to the high post of Unitod States Senator It
is not that claim it privilege to be allowed to
furnish the for the unexpred term in controvcr-
sy, inasmuch we had the honor of filling portion
of that term with of the best and greatest names
of the age. Neitheris it because of any ambition, of
local character causing US to lean in our preferen-
ces to our side of tho State But it is because
we know the man we oGer--his patriotism, his devo-
ton to South Carolina md his eminent abilities and
is because we believe the present to be time when
Statesmen are needed in the councils of this Confed
cracy.
Upon these grounds naa'y tits, that the Immediate
follow-czcns of Hon. F. WPIcKESs willircceivc the
intelligence Of his election with the warmcst gratifca-
ton. 1t will he proud day TO old Edgofed, and no

Mr.. EDITOR If there is one luxury love moro
than any other while travelling, it is a properl.
conducted Hotel A comfortable Boarding House
is to the traveller what seasoning is to the food il
which he wishes to luxuratc. My good fortune
was such when returning to Carolina, after a few

HAMS, whose Hotel have noticed has been the
subject of remark by many others who have had
the like good fortune to partakc Of the hospitali
tics of his bountitul table Here my cpicuria
fancics and my dreams Of comfort met their fullest
realization.
Having been so we'll fed and comfortably lodged,
! (Which is the exception instead of the rule with
many Of the Boarding Houscs,) think too much
praise cannct be awarded to DR.. c., in the manage
nlcnt of his Hotel and the good accommodation to
be had there. Many respectable families of the
Town lave given up housekeeping. and find it to
their interest no doubt to board at the Doctors,

The legislator ss well as the priso-

coDyeniences Of wilderness life
The law Is no less sacred when
made in . log hut than when made

neither expect the perfection Of
lsw nor tho ersver iounalitics Of
the higher order of lrrislation.--

~ that "Jaines Titus was the on.
ly member of the Senate. lie sat
alone, aud decided upon the acts
Of the lower hou<, and adjourned
and INST sgsis with . fornality
quito ludicFous!" Nobody ever
thought of impssshins ssy law Of

bams simply becauee the Senate

the word senate hes the plural sig
ni6eation Of . number oil persons.
