HARsoN FRENCH HAS a VISION
The Columbia correspondent of that
sterling old journal. the Charleston
Courier writing under date of the
18th, about the recent Senatorial
canvass, in which the celebrated
Parson French was an unsuccessful
aspirant, tells the following incident,
which bears repetition: nd
Just here, because it finds proper
place in the history of this never to
be forgotten scramble for unm erited
honors, permit me to cite a case in
which either Providence or Parson
French was sadly at fault. With the
balioting of yesterday, fresh on the
tablets OF his memory, and strength
ened by the persistency with which
his twenty-four good virginal hackers
stuck to his cause, the immaculate
Chaplain approached Mr.. Sawyer,
with countenance demure and an
elaborate paper containing sixteen
defined propositions. which he offer
ed tor his mature Consideration. I
regret very much that the modesty
OF MI. French has denied me the
opportunity of spreading before you
what must undoubtedly be one of the
greatest State papers of the day; but
L have ascertained enough to synopise
as follows: II, Mansfield French,
candidate by the choice of large
portion of the people for the distin-
gulshed position of United States
Senator, have, after prayerful inyoca-
ton of the aid of the Almighty, been
convinced: First, That the true in.
terests of the people of this State,
demand that they should be repre-
sented in the Senate by one of un-
doubted loyalty, unquestioned ability
and unlmpeachable Christian virtues.
Second, That I, Mansfield French,
am the individual referred to by
Divine indication. Third, That all
other contestants should, from con-
siderations of patriotism and an ear
nest desire to see the material, social
and political prosperity of South
Carolina fully and freely advanced,
Immediately withdraw in my favor -
and so on ad nduseam. Do not re-
gard this allusion to the pronuncia-
mento of the spotless French, as q
Jest; it is hard, earnest fact, and the
only surprising circumstance in con-
nection Herewith, is that Mr.. Sawyer
and his friends failed to perceive the
presence of the Divine inspiration
suggested by Parson French, and re-
fused to compromise.
