The fact is, we want to make all we can and

the government if we are treated well. We
cannot be blind advocates. That would be to
ruin our influence, if we could permit ourselves
to advocate such a course. We must be in

the facts that destroy the illusion. Hearing

the Sun is mean enough to investigate
the claim, and makes an interesting
discovery. The gentleman who was so
determined that South Carolina Democracy
should go before the country with the white
banner of absolute perfection flying over it,
is none other than Capt. F. w. Dawson, edi-

OF all the surprises TO which the reading

The type is large, loaded, beautiful; the two
volumes bound in one com prise COG pages; the
binding is half morocco, marbed edges. The
only other edition in the market that at all
compares with this or rivals 1t, is advertised
by the publisher ut $500 per volume.
Mr.. Aldcn's price when sold in sets or nine
volumes, IS little less than s100 per volume.
He now offers this single specimen volume
until September !, 1856, for the price Qf 1t can
