DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT. WHAT NEXT? Faom the various items of election intelligenee received by the late mails, we gather enough to ren der it certain that FRANKLIN PIacs has been successful in reaching the Presidential Chair. And we must take the opportunity to say that we are as much gratified by his election as we could have been by that of any man North of the Potomae. Our Congressional Records bear most ample testimony to the fact that lie has ever stood boldly for It for entire non-interference with the domestic institutions of Che South-in short, that he has invariably voted and acted, in regard to this question especially, with our own Calhotm, Without exaggeration, it may be -aid that but few, even of our Southern politicians, have spoken more decidedly or voted more regularly ,.n the side of Southern interests than has FRANKLIN PItECE from the remote Northern State of New Hampshire. In addition to this degree of political soundness, it is something cheering to hnow (as we do from information variously derived) that he, who is to occupy the highest and most influential position in the United States for the next four years, is a man. not only of strong mental ability, but of high princi ple and noble impulses-in other words, that while in piossession of ani intellect saflicient for the skillful guidance of the helm of State, he ha3s a heart 1.rge andi liberal enough to crnfrie hins to appreciate the right and to purtie it with dteisive envegy. To know then that we are to have at tihe head of our govern. auent a man of anch qualific'ationis is, we repeat, cause of congramiulntion. It is certainly i consum m ion which, sis tumithos ago, could scarcely have heeni expected. rie mere triumph of the I)eino cratic Party is not the point which we desire to emnphasize: for that has all along been certain enough -hut thu placing of one in the lead of our affairs. who thoroughly sympathizes with our section and has never lievitated to espouse our cause with generous enthusiasm, is an indiention of retrrning reason, at least in the Democratie ranks, which should not be ,lightingly regarded by the people of the South. FaAsmim .tN PtEscr is our avowed friend. Ie has just passed through the ordeal of a Presidential can. v ois with the declaratioti of that friendship emblazoned up-mo Iis hanner, unretracted, unmodified. We have every reason tip b.-ieve that lie will remain faithful to his antecedents. We have grounds to hope that the tendency of his adminiistration will be to give the Southern States that " equality in the Union," which i- their dearest heritage. If this be so, (and we is. agine it is even moire that prohnble,) slhouh not hi elevation to time l'retidency afflord to every Sou:hern patriot sume real satimfaction ! if we are to abide iti this Utnion as it now stands (and it does seem that we h-ve no choice but to do tit,) is it not rational to r -juice at an event which given some pronisie of better days to our insulted section ! What philoso. phy is there in standing aloof, it silent and niorose dignity. refusing to avail ourselves (of the chanees which may ofer for the restitution of our power and psition among our coir1ederates, and yet afnid to soy to them " we leave you in disgust!"

RE-DISTRICTING THE STATE. TirE duty of re-arranging otr Congressional Dis tricts devolves upon our present Iegislature, and, be ing the work of thelapproachinig Session, will be dis charged now in a few weeks. It is a business which should be well considered, and which should be regu lated, as nearly as possible, in accordance iwiihh the wishes of the various Districts. As uric means of ascertaining these wishes, we would suggest that the Press of the State should signify, at as early a day as possible, what each one regards as being the prefer ence of the section it represents. Soms general ex pression, to this efect, might be of considerable aid to those gentlemen who may undertake the prepara. tion of plans to be aibmitted for adoption, and des patch might thus take the place of prolonged confu sion. For. ourselves, we are impelled, by what we feel and know to be the desire of many of our fellow. citizens, to express our preference briefly and can didly. The Congressional District we desire is one made up of the four Districts, Laureus, Newberry, Abbe ville and Edgefield. It is unnecessary to say that we mean no disrespect to Lexington by this preference. We would willingly be associated with old Saxe Gotha, dial riot our being so involve an extension of our Congressional District which wotud place its ex tremes unduly distant front earl other. The arrange. inent we propose above is recommendrd, we thitnk, by several considerations. First, it would give us a de. gree of compactness wtld c irtiguity. othernise unat. tainable. Secondly, it Aoubl cotmrprise a pecunharly hominigenrouts population. Thirlly, it would be pro. ductive of greater harmony and satisfaction frtom the fact that there i4 .dnost coinstant interoirse bet weeti the citizens of these tramed Districts, and there would consequently prevail amongst us a better understand ing. grealer liberality towards each other and a tie cessarily higher tone fitan we could hipe for under any other arrangement. Fourthly, these Districts make up what has been known since the days of ti tevolution as the Old '96 District, and the associa tiis which hang tarontid that hallowed remienibranec woa!d be as liiks to bind us together for all ine. Thieee reasons, superadded to tie fact th:,t it is, be. yoid a doubt, the desire of these Districts to be tir mited, indtice us to present the combin:i-in as una eminently proper to he made by our Legislature, amk we respectfully reguest it at their hands. We have understood that the interests and pros pects of different Congress-men will probably have sIme bearing otn the arrangement of the ne w Dirtriets To this we beg leave to enter our most earnest ob. jection. This remodtelling is not Ihr the advairen1w of individual interests, nor is it for this generatior alone. It is for the people's advantage anti the State' futurer as well as present well-being. And we thinal it shiould be etersined with reference to these con siderations and these only. TIlE VOTE OF SOTIl CAROLINA.

Hence it is thit ae have so little Poetry among us, and so little' idea of the beautiful, the sublime, or the picturesque either in nature or art. Hlence it ix that the very bowelIs of the most impene trable mountains are worked for gold, and hence it is that instead of admiring Oqe0 or Pelion or Soracte the pick nxe would he heard- to resonnd upon their sides. If the fabled Pactolns should roll its golden stream by our dwellings it would no longer be an object of wonder and admiration. Instead of cel brating it in song and rend'ring it immortal in verse, a company would soon he -fornied to turn aside its current in order to wash itsg.igolden sands. But to return we really think, that any man who would say to his negroes, becauise for sooth a lovely tree shaded his scanty field, "cut it down, why cum hereth it the ground," or who would dig a ditch through his own field, an not cnntinue: it either over or down the side of a public road, thereby pre [venting a dirty pool from settling in the highway, deserves for his pains to best the bottim of that. where Pope's h'eroes are embraced by the iad nlymnphs.
