BACKING OUT.

Our neighbor backs out from his assertion
that in order to defeat Mr.. Faulkner, it is me-
cessary to defeat his nomination. He says in
his last issue, that he admits no such thing,
and says, sit is perfectly well understood that
Mr.. F. has worn out his welcome with large
portion of the Democratic party" We are
aware of the fact that some good and true
Democrats, would prefer to see Mr.. Faulkner
retire this Spring from public life, but ma
jority, and we believe very large majority of
the party, are anxious that he should continue
to represent the District, and consequently
are endeavoring to effect his ncmiuation-not
by intrigue or wire pulling, but by fair and
legitimate means. There are a number of
reasons, which might be assigned, why the
friends of Mr.. Faulkner desire his return to
Congress They look upon him as faithful
and efficient representative, aud believe him
true to the interests of his constituents, and
are willing to sustain him, because they have
confidence in the man. There are other
Democrats who oppose him upon the ground
that he has held the position long enough,
and assert, with some propriety, that the doc
trine Of rotation should prevail. Another
class oppose MI. F.,because he failed to obtain
for them or their friends, fat places under the
Government. Of these, there is a large num-
Der in this Congressional District-more per~
haps than in any other District in the United
States. Some of these applicants, are no
doubt worthy and deserving Democrats, and
think that their claims should have been re-
garded-others are only Democrats, because
they hope to be benefited by it. The former
we would gladly see rewarded, if positions
could be obtained for them-tbe latter we
would like TO see continued in their present
positions, without reward or the prospect of
reward.

WHAT THEY SAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA
ABBEvILLE, S. e., Aug. 81 1858.
Messrs. FARREL, HERRING & CO. :

PHILADELPHIA.
Gentlemen.-The close attention which our own
affairs have required since the fire, has hitherto
prevented US from writing you about the Safe.
On occasion of the fire 10Th July, by which we
suffered large loss, our store, with a number of
other buildings was consumed. The Safe, of your
manufac ture, which we had the store, was ex-
posed to most intense heat, is we'll attested by
the effects on its strong iron frame, which, from
its faxed and scaly APPEARANCE, looks as though it
had been heated for a long time in a furnace STbe
Safe with heaps of molten glass and kegs of nails
fused into mass, fell into the cellar, surrounded
main, Gas the contents had been removed before
the fire reached us,) until the 2nd day of August,
The difficulty in cutting it open with the best
tools that could be procured, convinced us of it's
power to resist the attempts of burglars, and when
it was opened, we found the interior, to the as
jtonishment of all, entirely uninju by fire.
This test has SO fully convinced of the capa
bilities Of your Safes, that would not part with
the one we have in use for large sum, were we
debarred the privilege of getting another.
Respectfully yours,
r. II. WARDLAW & SON.

holding such meetings, toaappoint Dele gates

eralD Districts in the Congressional Convention
to be held in Winchester, on the 10th of

doubtless, acquiesced in the call of the meet.
ipgs on to>day, we regret to find there has
been some misrepresentation, on the part of
our Harper's Ferry friends. From what
cause, if any, we are unacquainted. Our on
ly object being to do exact justice to all, and
follow that course. which we hope will best
promote the harmony and success of the
Democratic party, can only sntjoin the fol-
lowing correspondence, leaving to our Har-
per's Ferry friends the choice of disssnsion on
the one hand, or unity Of action on the other.

on the 18th of March next.

On the above bull of accommodation by
the Winchester Republican, without even the
trial BY jury of his peers, the Leesburg
Mirror has the following. We shall leave it
to our friend of the fredericksburg Herald
to settle the matter with the supercilious Re-
publican.
USK1ND-The Mirror says: 1t is remarkable with
what rapidity the opinion of opposition friends
changes in regard to gentlemen who have the bold
ness and the independence to cut loose from
their scuttled craft and join the Democracy. AN
DREW HUNTER, Esq. of Jefferson, whose name had
been used IN connection with the 10th of February
nomination in Richmond, published letter with
drawing his from such association-an ex-
tract from which we have before p1blished-tecause
there considerations of public duty and of q
political character IN the way which chez cannot
disregard For thus doing what he had perfect
right to do, he is receiving the anathemas of his
whilom friends most Justify. We remember when
the name of HUNTER was regarded by the Wings of
the Did Eight District as the very synonym of all
all that was good, and pure, and noble, and great
but times have changed, and he is now denounced
as an 'excreseace' from whose radiance the party
be left purer We do not know that Mr.. Hunter in
tends to cooperate with the Democracy; but if be-
does, satisfied that he has no disire TO con-
ceaI the fact when occasion demands its avowal
Dupticity is crime that we never heard him charg-
ed WITH until he declined association with the nor
grel cross of Whiggery and Know Nothingism.
