rence still to our antiquated notions in this
particular, even though we do locate a century
l>ehind the nge.
Thfire ar? some things so strikingly manifest
as to need no effort beyond a simple
designation to disclose them. That buying
rind selling votes in elections are base nnd
shameful tAnsactious?disgraceful alike to
the contracting parties and the country?of
a tendency subvefaivg of liberty and public
virtue?wo hold to be one of those self-evident
truths.
We tremble for the honor and safety of
our country, when we see, as wo have seen,
one man drugging another with degrading
draughts of intoxication, until sufficiently
soaked, he is prepared to cast his vote just
as his seducer wills him. There is no difference,
in principle, botween bim whose vote
is purchased at the bar-room board or the
frrocerv seller, and the ono who barters his
for round sums of gold. Alas for our boasted
republicanism, when such voters are to
contrel its destiuy!
Our Richland friend is a spunky writer,
and we hopo to hear from him often. It occurs
to us that, notwithstanding his affected
sin prise at our antiquarian impressions, he too
has some notions of his own, as well as we.
H What aDust!"
On Saturday last wc received the subjoined
note, and as it our property, subject
to our disposal, wc transfer it to the public,
even at the risk of pleasing the writers :
"Clinton, Oct. 13, 1854.
"Mr. Puckctt?Sir: Please find accompanying
this note three copics of your
j'rcss, wiin wnicn we are prouu 10 kiiow
wo can dispense. We subscribed for the
Press Inst spring. Our subscription we
suppose is about half gono. You can remit
to us tho amount due in wrapping paper,
if you are so disposed ; if not, we do
not wish to take a "single straw from a
drowning man."
Respectfully yours,"
The trite but expressive fable of the flies
on the carringe wheel occurs to our mind as
wo read the above rather indignant epistle.
Two flies (so crocs the story) alighted upon
a revolving carriage wheel, and observing
the dust which aroso from the rapid motion
of the wheel, one of them stretched himself
up to his loftiest height and sung out to his
companion?"Now, see what a dust we
raise!"
The concluding sentence of the note discloses
very plainly its originating cause.?
We defended Col. Brooks, when he was
most unjustly assailed, and we defended our
| self likewise; wc did so boldly, fearlessly
and zealously, and this resort of our quondam
subscribers to inflict punishment for
our temerity will bo about as effectual as
the settling of the flics on the carriage
wheel.
They doubtless suppose that upon their
withdrawal depends the early demise of the
Press. That our friends may not be alarmed,
and put forth any extra exertion to
fill the vacuum created, wc take occasion to
Bay that we have this day more than fifteen
hundred sensible subscribers, of all classes,
political and religious; and we are proud
to know that we can-dispense with the support
of not only this^disaffected trio,but of
all othert! whoso souls are little enough to
suggest a similar plan of revenge for what
we have written in reference to the late Congressional
electiou.
Among those who disaj?*e<?d with us on
that subject are some of our most cherished
and rcspected friends ; and, whilst we are
far from uttering any winnings of repentance
for what we have done, -we would not be
understood as expressing ourself indifferent
to their continued friendship and patronage.
On'the contrary, wo appreciate them more
highly, if possible, than if perfect congeniality
of sentiment bound us together.
As to the "wrapping paper," we have
none to snare nt. nrojw>.nt. Tn wn nlnim
to bo under no indebtedness tothe Laurens
trio. OuRjHredecessor rccefve&their raon-j
fy, and we -have supj>lie<Ltl|pm with the paper
five months for jKftmffg. If they insist,
howler, and^Willi^form us at what valye
<A?y-estimate Jhe.'unexpired term of tlifer
Bubsonptio'n, we will pay their order.
But we are inclined lb thjjkthat theliumber
of the Press which returned was
more tba^ an Equivalent for the outlay they
bade in th?*pring, since it seems to have
stirred thes&le on thoir stomachs, and that
is certainly^a ijqfa at thJaaeason of
bilious disease*,
We cannot,guJufljfttoieu, "scratch off" yoqr
names until we to place a r&fr
wrinkle on your bdms: If you, ipteqfl . to
stop a paper whenWer it oeases for a moment
to'Apeak your sentiments, never pay
in advance. .

Messrs. Editors:?Your paper of the \

' i
leople of Richland District not a little. r
Why, sirs, yon mow us down as the cradlcr 1
loes the green grass of the meadow. You
irst take a wide sweep against our practice t

enow that this is a time-honored custom,
ind that our sand hill population look to the r
.eason of Elections with the same expecta- 1
ion that somq of your planters look to the [
gathering and sale of their cotton crops ? *
L'rue, the receipts may not in some instances '
>e the same, but from fifty to an hundred f
lollars for a vote, (with groceries also for the j
amily,) is something for a poor man; from u
.wo to five hundred dollars to a prominent n

" In passing along I learned that Dr. Mar- 01

id been robbed of five hundred dollars. Ii
0 lin<l it laiil away in a drawer, with the 0
cw of remitting it to Charleston, and when ^
3 looked for it, it was gone. Suspicion ?
>on attached itself to a poor scamp by the
imc of Dickinson, who had been about

as out of employment, and being a secin- ''

j is usual with those who find a helpsss

rudence to take care of himself, had fed tul

few days before the loss was discovered, r
