From the Carolna Times. TIE ELECTORIAL QUESTION. We might safely rest the general ques tion on the observations already nade. But there are those in our day wlio profess to believe an election of electors by the legis - Ir.ture to lie an usurpatiou of the rights of the people, upon the ground that it is both unrepublican and unconstitutional. It is, of itself, a complete vindication of our present mode of appointing the electors, that it was adopte I in the palmy days of the rcpuhlic; and that in all the vicissitudes or more thai tixty years, it has been adher ed to amid amendments of the Constitution itself, without complaint. It dates back to the very year of the constitution; to the time of those who achieved tho revolution which gave us both the Constituti:n and a republic-and in fact, all the real liberty we enjoy But it appears to us that our mode ol election is susceptible of an easy defence, We therefore proceed to consider the objec tions referred to. As no exception has been taken to the expediency of our mode-and it is univet'ally admitted that it has ahvnys worked wll-we shall confineo ourselves to its RN1PUIL1ACa NisJ1 and CONSTITUTIONALLTvY and of these two pnints in their order.' -There seems to be a vague sentiment aflual in society, ahd which is but a crude form of the. wildest radicalism, that that government is freest in which all its power is imm cliate ly exercised. by the people. Ent if it wet possible for a republic so absolute to exist, it is deminsti aile that it would be the mos1 odious form .of. tyranny the mind can -con. eeivv. There could be no check to bind a majoritv ; for it could rot enact anything superior to its own will, which is supreme. TLero could be no pro'tection to the itizen, CXcept at the sufl'eranco of his fellows. II would also be tio weakest of all govern. n- ents in respect of self-defence, because all its 'title ion3 would be exercised by unwieldy numnlers. And further, it migt he shown that the more absolute the po) er the peul)le engrossed in tleir own hands, the more must they part with, wthn the exigencies of the State muighmt inexorably requtire ant agenit, as ess -ntial to the very existerce of the body Such.a.government would bo well or ill -administered as foly or madness ruled the -hor-. Slinorities would have no rights; and in self-defence there would be combinations among the citizens, to protect themselves -from each other and from the State. Against a system of chocks and balances, and corn with a constitutional republic. They will thus have demonstrated to thenrselves, that they have eumerged from a form of govern mtent, int which their rights were absolute, yet, none secure, to one, in which by wvell adjusted chiteks tupon their own power, they had secured the highest (degree of libet ty; from a despotismn, in which the will of. a bare'majoiity was supremte, to a free comn miontwealth. in which the weakest citizent may defy the opression of the whole State itself; fr-om an absolute demr oeracy, in whichm life~, anmd liberty, and property were held at the caprice of the hour, to a consti ttrtional republic, in which the power of tumbers was dlispensed under the auspice's of law and order; in w hich a batlance of powe'r conserved tho rights of minorities; an-i inz whicht all its action, delayed through well ordered removes, was crownmed- with the -wisdom of the second thought. rThe philosophy of the republicamn forms of goverunent may bo summed up itn a word. It is impossible, where the powers of adl are equal, to rule withouit being ruled. When, thterefore, rights are unliimited, the. ruling ,power is absolute ; but where they are re tttricted b)y commni checks, that powt~er is -to some extenit restrained. Every sulrrendekr, therefore, of .: power which an individutal may capr-iciously exercise, secures so miuch freedoma; for it preserves him fromi the ca pricious exercise of it in others. Now the due measure of the surrender of the rights ntecessary to attain these high ends, will always be a probmlem, btecabse it is not a mamtter of demonstrattion, but of judgmenrt. But if its ulterior limit may ntot be defined, yet thmere is a pomit shoit of whicht it miay not stop. Every system of Jiberty must embrace all those muaxims antd conventions whitch the commont senise of mankind int every age hits approved. Law is, itsolf, but the embodiment of the maxims of experience ; antd the whole structure of our society rests upon well established con venitions. Thus, in theory, all ment are soiv. ereign; but the coniventtionmal sovereigntty resides in the voters. Again, it is of the essence of sovereignty that it ha's no supe rior. An extremist would assert that won-.en and minors* are enslaved becaiuse they are excluded fromt the ballot box. Btt whto but a radical or miadman wouldi chatnge thtis state of thinmgs for a mere abstractioti?. Agaitn, in theory, thte abstract idea of eqnal rights has beena run into A bolitionmism. Ins practice, it is our boast, that "slavery is the very corner stone of our repttbbean edifice." lIn short, all the radicalism which clogs the civit~zation of our day, is but the *derivative of acknwledged rightts, urged to ani extreme. Wen c-all the nltraists whIo emjbrace these a :bitratctionS, fanatics ; antd so they arec. ltt the~y are only the grtat leading minds and their followers, who ha~ve ouitrunt the genius of..-lieir ideta to the goal ton whicht it tenmds. Nowv of all tho .ab~stractions uponi whicht the theory of a republic rests, an unqutalifi cd receptIotn of nonte has been mtore insisted oni than thtat which asserts time capacity of the people for self govertinent. They have been pronouced innd~tlibbs,. omnitpotent ; and hir voice has lbeent impiously called the Women amst minors constitmite f.,nr-fiths of our white popmlatiffn.

Were a community beginning afi to construct i republic, it could fishio after no ideal form ; for though it w< cheerfully acknowledge thegreat fundan: tal truths, that all power spiings fromn people, and that all are free and equa would still be obliged to limit these absti tions by the sense, in all time, founid ni sary for human imperfection ; they wouk qliged to blend with their polity, that g unwritten system of liberty, wAhich grown up through centuies of ex:perie under the geius of the common law.

Br'ooks to N Bright, as follows: IkOUsE OF REPRzsEN~TATI'ES, May 29. Sr:I have seen in the ,publie journ: this morning the report oh' the comm.ittee the Senate directing an inquiry into an a sault nade by me on the 22d inst., on Senator from Ma ssachusetts. It is with unt'eigned regret I find in t repo t that what I had intended or~ly as redress of' a personal wrong had beeni co strued' into. or must necessarily ho held, a breach of privileges of the Senate. Whtil making a full and explicit disclaimer of at such designt or pur pose, I ask leave to st that for the occasion, considering myst only as a gentleman in society, and und no official restratint as a member of t ouse of Representatives, I did not adve to or considfer there was any alternati, restraint imposed uipont me, by reasoni th the offence camne frm a member of ti Senate. I had read attentively and care'i fy the speech delive:-ed in the S.c.nate, the 19th and 20tha instsn., by the Senati from Massacebusetts, and f'ound therein In1 guage which I --egardled as unjustly reflee ing, not only uponi the' histoly and charai ter of South Carolina, but also upon a friet lnl relative. ro such language, I th ough Ihad a rig! to take exception, onder the circumnstaince Iue Senator from South Carolina, who w: eff'eeted by these remarks, being absent fro h Seat. and to city.

If JA3ss BucuAN.Ai lives to see tihe -11th March 1S7, lie will he President of the Unt.-d States. His abilities and characteris. ticsare such as will ensure to his Adiminstration success if not brilliancy. Perhaps, under all the cir cnmarcem of the case, tie is the very best choi ce that could h-we been madte for the weal of the whole Union. That he will receive the. cordi4i support of South Carolina, there is at present no shadow of donht. A cuitempnranry and friend of CALIOUN, and an honest patriot of the true Jefferson school, lie may yet he the great initrument of rescusing his country from the vories of abolitioiism and consolidationism. We hail his noina:ian with pleasure; neither can we see that it is at all impaired by the addition to his ticket or the gallant Ureckenridge of Kentucky. *I nak to Contrtsune my Poartion."

Entroit: As the peasoi for fishiig p.art.L' esalf arrived, and as each one of them must have a histuri an, I send a brief. sketch of an occasion in ieiuch- i. participated not long Since. A considerable crowd of ynng lndies ad gelile m-n met at Riley's Ford, on Little Saluda, o' Satur day morning, the 17th May, well eqnipped with ishooks, lines, bait, &c. After tie utu.l ceremony of slaking hands, bowing and casting side glances at the ladies was over, a general warfare commenced upon the int noc.nt fry. As all cotiJ not fish at the same place, the crowat naturally divide-a iti'elf into smull grotups. Now the valley begins to resound with the merry -laugh ; the perch, which a miwinent before .p ,rte.I in Its natural element, fl;uic s upirt ter-a firma, &te., I &c., &c. For fear we weary your patienEc, we pass on intil time for rerreshment. The party now reiirel to aea:ul grove-and ol! the deliciouts feast that was there spread out upon Nattre's tible ; every thintg suited to the taste of the most fAtidious epicnre; candies, al. mrads, witht sparkling cordial, reldered doubly bril liant by the radiant smiles of the fair ones. eAfter partaking of the delightful feast, the company seated themselves to enjoy tle cool breeze and pass lite hours away in social conversation. The reader mightI rea sonably exclaim " Old Cupkl was there." Yes, al thongh in disguise, lie could be easily recognised by a close observer; but how many were the victims of his unerring dart, we are utnable to say. It may he he wotr.ded m, lor one; for I have a strange feeling about the region of that organ ialled the heart, and if I do not find myvelf In a state of convalescence short. I ly, I shall apply to lie physician. The party, now refreshed, retired to a lake hard by to spend the remaining- part of the evening in their delightful sport; but soon the sound of distant thunder admnnisles tli'em to seek for lielter. They heeded the admonition, and left for their respective places of abode. Thus ended the " Saluda fishing party." We are fearful some of the ladies got wet; if they did not they were more fortunate than OxE GF THE PARTY. ARTIVAL OF STP aT ORIZABA.
