SENsIBLE.-W have practical proof that
South Carolina, with al her insane devotion

We perceive that Col. W. S. Dogan, of that

for the Legislature, for the reason that he can
never enter the field as candidate for the Le-
gislature SO long s'as the treating mode of
clectioneering is allowed" The Colonel says
if candidate is elected by treating, s'his cleo
tion signifies only that he is good drfnker." "
We commend the Colonel's example to all
candidates for office in county-that is,
his refusal to buy support by treating.

OF Kansas have so long permitted Hamilton
and his gang of murderers to redden the soil
OF that Territory with the blood of Free State
men. The cold-blood assassinations in the vi
einity of Fort Scott cry aloud for vengeance.
and later intelligence from Southern Kansas
is that on the night of the 11th of June, four
more Free State men were killed on the Little
Usage, by the band of Missouri desperadoes
under the lead of Hamilton, Titus and Brock
way. The men killed were peaceable farmers.

news OF this fresh outrage reached him, and
1t is to be hoped he may come up with and ad-
miniter justsce to the ruffans.
