The Next Legislature.

The next Session of the Legislature Of
South Carolina will be, perhap the most
important that mas convened since the days
of the Revolution. Ia view of this fact,
should not every District in the State arm
herself with caution ut the ballot-box in
October next. Heretofore. 1t has been the
custom and policy, in some portions of the
State, to elect Legislators on mere POPULAR.

cal principles which their representatives
entertained. We think that the present as
pect of political affairs, suggest another
course for us to pursue in the election of
our Legislators for the next session. In our
opinion principle ticket should be run
throughout the State, and by this course,
we will know how stands osr representa-
tives upon all the great and important is.

Let South Carolina send men TO her next

Be on the Lookout.

We desire TO put our citizens or their
guard against the absconding of their slaves
Last Saturday night, three oT our citizens
IN town had n slave each, 10 abscond with

circumstances which lead to the con,clion,
that suspicious persons are psowling about
the neighborhood. Our citizens can not
be too vigilant in this matter-Neuberry

The late fires in Texas and the bold po.
siton assumed by the abolitionists in the
border counties of Virginia, is a sufficient
manifesto to convince US, that John Brown
has not yet faded from the memory of his
adherents. We predict the whole South
in danger at the present time, while aboli.
ton fury r"ges with such n vengeance at
the North, Of injury from these worthless
marauders. IL seems from ,elegraphic dis.
patches hailing from different sections of
the country, that their designs are being
carried into effect, TO some extent. Al
though, there has been no rrbellious act
yet CON milted in our State, but SUI picious

slaves absconding from their masters, which
lead us TO believe, there is necessity of

The intense excitement throughout the
South. occnsioned by the "liarpcr's foary,"
was useless; We knew then where the
thievish scoundrcs were, now, We are not
acquainted altogether Of their whereabouts.
Such an enemy to our back is worse than

will meet with n disastrous defeat in No

what attitude should South Carolina as
sume! Should such an election precipitate
a revolution at the South by resuming our
original sovereignty! This crisis will very
likely he upon us during the sitting Of our
next Legislature We therefore think il in
cumbent on those. who wish to represent
