"ou'h carolina has thrown away her vote by
giving 1t, in a complimentary way, to some man
not IN the list OF conventional. nominations"
This isl mistake Although South Carolina
has not been represented in all the conventions
called tonominnto candidates for President, she
has not " thrown away her vote " but once since
1873. That vote was, we believe, given to Hon.
WILLIE P. MANGuM, of North Carolina, when
Gen. JACKSON was re- elected to the Prcsidencv
South Carolina has not yet regretted that vote
