have been monopolzng this field Of late
First, Messrs. HARRIS, of Illinois, and lIUGuEs
of Indiana, place themselves in fighting at

And last of all, in the congressional line, is
the difficulty between two other Senators
Messrs. GwLN, of California, and WILSON, of
Mass.--on q like protcnce. Challenges in
each instance were passed, but we are happy
to be able to state that they were "amicably

The Bank Of Ncwharry.

An article from the RIsING Sun, on our
first page, will give our readers an insight to
the discussion going on in Ncwborry district
relative to this institution. The prcscntmcnt
of the bank as anuisance, by the grand jury,
has given rise to the controversy. The bank
is defended by the President, Mr.. BoYD, and
the jury is sustained by Col. WnIr. WALKER.
Why Mr.. BoYD should attempt to "muz-
zlc the press" may be OWNED by our readers
If the conduct of the bank has been legal and
legitimate there is no danger to be apprebon-
ded from q thorough investigation Our i'm
preston is that there is something "rotten in

from the best information before us, the ap.
pOintmeut was not founded in wisdom, and
the recipient of the honor wanting in capac-

ton. What before was grouped in more or
less uncertainty, is now as apparcntas light
is from darkness The debate in the Senate
which VIC have transferred to our first page,
is ''proof, strong as holy writ" of his ignor-
Nncc and incompctency. The reply of the
officers of the Bank, through Mr.. FuRMAN
which we also publish, is thorough and com
plctc. The press has also spoken out boldly
on the snhjcct. and cchsurcs the honorable
gentleman in no unmcaning terms. 1t is n
matter of regret with us that VIC are called
upon, in discharging our duty, to do the same
thing It's more pleasant to commend than
to condemn, but the latter alternative only is
left us We believe it is the first time, in the
history of our State, that the checks of her

To A. P, IIdSNE, Esq, .senatoy:a
The extraordinary spectacle which YOU
recently presented, of Senator from South
Caroliua volunteering to impu@srinolrectly
the official conduct of ,pqtsF3n. of.lSs con.
stituents, and to assail a StateTinstitution
in which the interests and resources of the
State are intimately involved, must neces
sarily attract attention. In gencral, we
would permit attacks upon us to pass for
what they are worth, but the position YOU
occupy, and the place which you selected to
give utterance to your opinions (if your OK.
presslons in the Senate can be termed opin.
ions,) attach degree of Fictitious impor.
tance to them, and they therefore seem to
require some notice at our hands. we
should be the less disposed to notice your
remarks had they been drawn out in reply.
to an attack nIade on others. But you as.
sailed the Bank of the State OF South Car-
olina, when your constituents were made the
subjectsrat of commendation than rc.
proach. You appeared to disclaim tho
commentator rather than forego the oppOr-
tunity Of assailing us.
You arerepresented as stating, from YOUR
seat IL the Senate, that "we had Bank of
the State of South Carolina that has not a
shadow ofresponsibility attached to it,
If, in making this statement, you intended
to say that the Bank of the State, being the
property of the State, is not liable to legal
process and cannot be sued, you have not
"the shadow of" authority TO osupport your
opinion. 1t is as well established as the
existence Of the Bank itself, that it IL as
liable to suit as any other bank or corpora
tion.
But if you intended to refer to the sccu,
rity of the parties who may hold the obIi.
getions of the Bank, your position is eanaL
lypntenable. You should know that tho
faith of the State is pledged for the Bank !;
and it Is with unnlitigated surprise that we
fndi alleged, even BY implication, that
there is not&hc eshsslow cfresponsibaityD
in the pledged,faith 81 the State. tits a

The Summer Canvass.

The canvass for Congress and the Lcgisla-
turc, in some of the districts, is waxing warm.
The Spartan'urg Express, speaking of the
speeches made on saleday in that district,
says:
"The speeches were made in the Court
House, and consumed nearly the whole af-
tcrnoon, and strange to say, the room was
pretty we'll filled the whole time Eleven
speeches were made, varying from one hour
and half to ten minutes in length. All the
candidates for Congress claim to have enough
friends in the Congressional District to elect
them next October will decide this point
All the candidates for the Legislature. no
doubt, think tho same way about their Dis
trict; counting votes before they are pollcd
is, however something like counting chick
ems before they are hatched." Tho political
subjects discussed, were various and innu-
merable we cannot, therefore, attempt to say
what they were, or with what ability they
were advocated"
In Anderson, too, the cxcitementis getting
up, as the following from the last GazeNc
shows:
"Ou Saturday last Capt. Mattison's COM
pnny S. G. NJ, paraded at Gantt's Store,
three miles from IIonca Path. The ovolu-
tions were shortened so as to afford the can
didates on the field an opportunity of address
goodly numbers. Col. j. ID. Ashmore, for

speeches. No practical question being be
