Editorial Nominations.

The Greenyillc Enterprise, in carefully
prepared Article of considerable longth, nom
mates Gen. VIZ. X, EAsLEr, Of that district,
for Congress, with tho very general impress
sion reiterated that Col. ORR will not be O
candidate. The True Caroliniaa has am
nounced its intention of supporting Col CAL-
noUN, of this district and tho Greenville Pa
kfot favors the election of Col AsmMoRE.-
This is an unusual course for the press of this
State; and whilst we shall not follow the
example thus SGT us, we do not dceire to be
understood as entering protest thcrcat. On
the contrary, if the people were divided in
political sentiment, or an issue of Importance
was to be decided by the contest, we should
not hesitate to commend such n course, and
run up our colors TO the masthead, labormg
earnestly in an honorable fight for right and
our principles. But the people arc undivi-
dcd in regard to federal policy and the con-
duct of governmental affairs; and, for aught
that is known, the candidates are with tho
people. Besides, any Of the gentlemen named
in this connection, would represent us with
spirit and ability. Under the circumstances
therefore, the contest must be personal in its
character; and We submit, with all due def
crence, whether such contcst---embittcred
perhaps with heated canvass, engendcring
personal feeling and strifc--will inure to the
public welfare, or add to the usefulness and
dignity of journalism. The experience of
the country, with the confirming evidence of
our best and wisest heads, are against it. An
enlightened public policy, having due regard
for the morals of the people, is at war with
such course. With these views, we shall
not enter into contest, which, of itself, en-
cites sufficiently the passions and prcjudiccs
of the people; and which, too often, are fan
ned into a fame by designing men, aided by
ready appliances and the more general de-
moralizing influences of custom and our cor
rupt and dcpraved nature.

Letter Of Gov. wise, Of Virginia.


PHLApELPHIA, Feb GA letter of
nearly four columns from Gov. Wise, in
response TO an invitation to attend thc An
|tILccompton meeting held here last eve,
ming, will be published in the Press to
morrow morning, Gov. Wise says that a
careful review of the Presidents Message
constrains him to differ with the President
of his choice. He protests against the mode
in which the Lecompton Constitution was
pretended to be submitted, as anti -Republi-
can and oppressive, and as offensive to the
selfIrespcct and mogal sense of free pee.
pie.
He admits that the conduct of the Topc-
kaitcs was violent and unlawful, and thut
their opponents acted under lawful authori-
ty up to the submission of the Constitution
t the people. But that has nothing to do
with the issue, is tho Consultation the act
and deed of the people, and is thesched-
iile republican? The wrong of the Pope-
kaitcs will not Justify the wrong of the {.c-
compton Constitution nor cure the defects
of the Iecolppson Schedule which, though
providing for its ratification OF rejection,
was submitted for its approval alone, with.
out allowing q vote uPon its rejection.
He concludes that there was obviously q
sinister and anti,reppbiioan purpose in {bss,
giving an unfair election rs To- part Of Tho,
Constitution with no election as to, tIle.

President that no people could have PR y

tion could not be held under the schedule,

We are satisfied that we are but express
ing the general qualification felt by the com
munity, in announcing the return of our
neighbor, Mr.. ALEX. RAMSAY, looking unusu-
ally we'll and in the enjoyment offne health.
For some years, Mr.. r. has been suffering
from acancorous affection on the nose. With
the experience Of b. f. SLOAN, Esq, of PEN
dlcton, before him, (who had been cured of u
like discase) he placed himself under the
treatment of DR.. GILBERT, in Charleston.
This treatment has been attended with graf
flying success. The part affected has been
healed, disfguring slightly the right side of
the nose. That the cure may be permanent,
is the earnest wish of Mr. R>MsAY's numor.

The Freeze

Immediately after tho fall of snow and
slcct, mentioned in our last issue, it COM
menccd raining, the rain freezing and adhcr-
ing, in large quantities, to the fruit and forest
trees. Finally, the weight became SO great
as to almost strip the trees Of their branches !;
IN many instances, breaking them off or tear
ing them up by the roots, In this immcdi-
ate vicinity, the destruction has not been so
great; but, in other sections of the district
the like has never been witnessed. The for
est and orchards have been damaged to an
uneSampled extent. Travel was suspended
generally, and much labor was required to
reopen the highways. The Anderson Ga
@ettc, referring to the freeze, says:
Soon the trees were covered with thick
coating Office, becoming so heavy as to strip
them of many of their boughs. Scarcely a
tree escaped whole, and though tho trunks
still remain, many of them stand as old sol
dicrs after hardly contested battle, with
some of their limbs taken off by the adyersa-
ry. The oldest inhabitants say they never
saw the like before"
Several of the mails from this point failed
to reach their destination on Saturdy last,
on account of high water and the dangers of
the falling timber. Fortho future, we hope
for better times and tho usual punctuality
although the weather., at the present time, is
exceedingly variable. To-day (Friday) is
warm and cloudy.

Kingstree.

The editor of the Lancaster Ledger, in an
interesting letter of editorial correspon-
dence," tells us pleasantly the way in which
originated the name of the capitol of vii.
liamsburg district:
"Kingstrce is an old settled place, dating
back VIC believe something over century,
The name is singular and it originated in
this wise In tho original grants of Lands
through this section made by ono ofthe kings
of England, certain choice tree, the white
pine we believe, was reserved to the govern
mcnt. The people called them tho Kings
trees. One ofthcm a very fine one stood up
on the edge of the Village and hence the place
is called Kingstrec."

Home Manufactures.

The prosperity of the country depends, in
great measure, on the industry and energy
of its citizens. Home manufactures is not
only source of wealth, but gives us the long
wishcd-for commercial independence This
continual outlay for almost everything used,
from a tooth-pick to steam engine, will keep
. us poor and dependant on our Northern
brethren" till doomsday. five must buy let
us also produce. True, ours is an agricultur-
al region and people, but that is no reason it
should always remain go. Labor, to he prof
itablo, must be diversified. We have been
led to these remarks mainly, by inspecting
recently Saddle manufactured by our re-
spectcd fellow-ctizeD, Col. JEPTHA NORTON.
Everything pertaining to it, from the tree to
the stirrups, is tho work of his hands. The
saddle is neat and durable, and is emphati-
cally homo production. Premiums were
awarded for tho work by the Walhalla and
State Agricultural Societies But far more
honorable tribute to our friends skill and in
dustry will be found in the example thus set
to the young and ambitious. 1t will be a
laudablo incentive in introducing the me-
chanic arts and home manufactures, with q
apractical lesson to the new beginner. Our
independcncc-social politicaland CONNER
cial-is in our own hands. Will we improve
the advantages nature has so layishly be-
stowedupon us? Our destiny, under Provi-
dencc, is in our keeping. IF examples like
the above fail to produce fruit it will be high
time to despair of the future. But of this we
have. no fear. There is too much good sense,
industry and energy in the land, toanticipato
such calamity. Our advice Isl improve the
time and present opportunity. 1t Gili yield
results rich and gratifying.
