The Legislature.

The Chester &al'dayd, in noticing the work
before the present session of the Legislature
and the elections it will have to make, saws :
Perhaps the most important vacancy to be
filed, and most certainly tho one in which
our people now manifest the deepest feeling
and interest, is that of United States Sena1
tor; and for this place the names of several
distinguished and influential gentlemen have
been mentioned. But w3 do not here pro-
pose to discuss tho names and character of
individuals who may have been spoken Of by
their friends, or who may have boen brought
forward by thcir families. or even by them
selves, as possessed ofevery virtue and hay-
ng every qualification, moral and intelIectu-
al, for this Office. We would merely urge
upon tho Legislature the necessity of being
perfectly ammoed-ontirely indepen-
dentm it's choice. Let man bo selected,
no matter how humble his origin nor what
his name, to represent not party nor n
clique in the State. but to represent the peo-
pie of South Carolina. Let us neither elect
nor reject man on any of those insgnif-
can't, trivial issues, which have been lately
agitated in some sections of our State; let us
drop all these, at least for time, and forget
our little home animosities in the grayor and
wcightiar business Immediately before as ::
lot MS select to be the colleague Of Hammond
in tho United Statot Senate one who, in
head and heart, in principles and politics. is
