South Carolina Election.

The returns of the election recently
! held IN South Carolina arc not yet sui.

the results. But If the unprincipled,
drsr'cahc trcacherv and bare faced
rascali,y of Gov. Scott and his adhe.
, rents sare to form any index to what tho
declared result Will be, we fear that our
friends OF sister Carolina have their
burden OF oppression aud dishonesty in
the presence Of the unp,ncip Died crew now
running their ship ut Star and speed.

fslen Il upon them for an additional
term.
The RrFormcrs have had mighty

numerical odds Of unpriuciplcd hirclings
to reScnc their State from such ignoblc
and rninons con.rol But alas, what
are struggles IN the defence Of right and
justice against the towers of oppression

AS regards The future OF the market for
hogs, there continues TO be considerable
speculation. The general impression
IS that prices must ru!o low, but tho
dioicult point is what may b.. regarded
