PRocLAMATross.
John Calhoun has Issued two proclamations Tor Two
bogus elections; for the 2lst Of December on The
ProSlsvtry claufe the other on the nrsl M9taay IN
January, for State officers under the bogus Constti
ton. The returns in both elections are to be made 10
Bogus John.

PRo.sLAyERY CONVENTION.
A Pro Slavery Convention has been called at Lee
cou pton on the 1th day Of December next, to non
nate Pro Slavery candidates for State officers under
the CsurpeTs' Constitution.
Not hayil seen the names of any candidates pro-
posed. and beins desirous that good, conservative
men be selected, We very respectfully submit the io!-
| lowing ticket: r.. cu
For Lieuten ant Governor. John Calhoun.
For Secretary Of stats.............John Calhoun.
Foi Treasurer OF st.te.............Joh Calhoun.
We think this ticket would receive a cordial and
united support from all parties ana would not initiate
il the least against John Cahouns chances for the
Senate.

Prince Regent Of Ksnsss-John Calhoun-ss having
met with unqualified appreciation at the hands OF the
people. 1870
On the first Monday in January, 1858, another bogus
ele c'ion is to take place for State officers under Boz
der RI ian auspices, which will also be repadlaea oy
the Free-Stste party. The Prince Regent will then
spnoul CO the success of the Pro- Slavery candidates.
The usurpers hope thst by this tiue Congress VIII
have adopted the bogus Constitution so that their
Safe officers can immediately Assume NO functions
of tter several posts, thus extingushing the Free
State Legislature, and placing the Government en-
| tirely in the central Of the Raft Ans.
What a worthy and honorable game and what
pity it will be to have all the hopes OF The usurPer.
