I This would save them, for the Greenville road is making money,-but -the Stockholm- I ?rs in that road will hardly be willing to 4 liitch a losing concern to their road, when r in times past it bad "been so sorely afflicted. * If the Laurens Rail Road be not united ^ to tho Greenville Company, it must come c to naught. It will not bd the first in- r stance that a railroad has been abandoned, ( n this country, for want of support. v Comparing the Laurens railroad with 4 lie proposed Lancaster railroad, the quesion propounds itself. If tho Laurens 11 oad, situated in the most flourishing see- ' f t ion of tho "S'ate, cannot pay, what would ^ _>e the fate of ours! If the stockholders v In the Laurens railroad aro satisfied to liake these subscriptions, contributions, rajrcviiny iiu iihvi?-i lor mcirmoney, ami u Outlier, willing to advance from time to ime in order to keep up tbo road, coneht onl; wi;h the convenience afforded ^ Lent, it may do very well; but men gen- ^ iraily, arc not so far imbued with the j pirit of enterprise as to remain satisfied villi such results. It would require lite v tpek holders to be pretty well supplied in t iinds, and for no portrou of the weight to 11 all on the weak. We have thought that r utflic event of the Lancaster railroad bt- |; ng built, we might be in the situation of r 1m Laurens stockholders, with this differ- i; mcc, that we are less able to l>ear the 0 turjeu of being taxed to keep up the oad. The Laurens Itailroad, nor can we hink that the Lancaster Railroad, would j, 0 fur benefit its district as tn render iu (| nxation productive of profit. Theso ideas are given fur wli-il they are | vorth. We are strongly in favor of pubic improvements, but when such improve ileitis ultimately become the means of ^ inpoverishing our j>eopJe, it certainly uoks. like suicidal policy to furnish these . cry means to effect our own ruin. Again, it is worse for a district, a coin- ^ nunity, to have a railroad and then aban Ion it, than never to liave one. 'Jim re- , ictiaft favors emigration, and produces ^ liscontent in those who remain. It is ike giving one a taste of heaven and then ending him to purgatory. At this lime, ? 1 is hardly probable that a railroad will is built to Lancaster, at hast for a long ime to come. If we goon improving, as j re have done for tbo last year or two, (_ >ur people may be belter off tlisn if they q isd a road. Let our people keep on pro f, re-sing, let them pay close attoution to ^ heir business, let the farmer try to emu t. ite his neighbor, the merchant endeavor 0 a be to the top of his business, let all, of u very trade and vocation, always keep in j( uind lhat they arc engaged in a common t| uuseJ viz: the welfare and interest of the c istrict, and we will occupy a position j quid to any who enjoy railroad facilities. H ibove all things should our people be 0 r>nie more aw akened to the Imnefits of 8l ilucation. The State provides liberally || tv the education of the poor, let those w 4io are unable to provide for the school- ti )? of their children, avail themselves of v his aid.

THE CADET KoCWtll OK jllt asSOCIATION. The oratiou before the Cadet 4th of uly Association, which was delivered by '.adct John 1>. Wylie, of Lancaster, at the litadel Academy, was favored with a veryill atteudance. It was to have been aprehended that the place being, to some xtent, removed from the business portion f our city, the oration might have been rerlooked, among the many other ob?cts of attraction, but the reputation of lie young orator, and the feelings of our itizeus favorable to this institution, in* uceu a very general disposition to attend, nd the nw'lenee was larger even than ur young friends had permitted themelves to hope fur. The address was diveied in the open court of the Academy, rhi e the company assembled were dislibuted over the court and balconies rbich surround it. Of the sentiments ex resseu id liua address, tlte following is a rief a* The orator rose and delivered an adreaa which had been carefully prepared, ihicli evinced considerable literary ability nd an intimato and just appreciation of lie political questions which are, at pre*ut forced upon the consideration of the ountry. Assuming that ho could not rr, in supposing a Charleston audience smiliar with the incidents of our revolu ionary history and duly impress *1 with he glories that surround it, with a brief illusion to some of the circninstance*, nore immediately around u* which bring he period of our struggle back to our renemberance, be enters at once upon tho onsideration of his mora especial subject* for this he baa undertaken to consider he eslent to which our future is indicr.ed by the preeent political oocdilion of >ur country. In entering, however, with totno little ntrapidity, upon debatable grounds, be ook occasion to state that bit opinions acre submitted without tho authority of he institution to which ho was attached, >r of the corps of Cadota from whom he lad receirod his appointment, lis had jesn elected to the position with llio perfect liberty of selecting his subject, end o4 sxhibiting it by the light of bis indiridual ntclligenee. In the opening of bis tubjeet he aaoumid that when nations depart from lite jreat principles of social constitution which forms the framework of tlieir institutions, ind the ruling and combining principle o( their nationality, they mast cease to cot* it as nations, or fall hero positions of national authority and power, and the ex eat of deterioration wtU be in proportion v" w a to the efforts which had been necessary to Are attainment of the forms of a political constitution, and to the success which has * distinguished ife practical operations. Of ' this truth iiortro hod France are distingnished instaWces. Home, while her sons adhered to Ate principles "Of bet dhYNfcr ^ constitution stood prctad fttid rhtpVegfrftble, ' but departing from those a*?d bocCtfhitlg the miserable devotee of plcaaore rather i ihau the champion of principle* \tmy he- came fit subjects to the rapine nntl plan- J der of the Goths and Vandals. ? In view of this position he took occa- ? sion to refer to the threatening aspect of * political affairs in this country. lie stated ? thnt tho war of 1812 had scarcely ceased before the Missouri question came up to the exhibition of the f ct that we were no longer one people, and occasioned the first < blow to the constitution cff our country, i This division, so often bridged tvith eotir- I promises, still stands, and the fugitive slave law itself is an acknowledgement that the constitution is incompetent to ef- ' feet tho chief design of its adoption?tho protection of State rights; but not only is there a difference of sentiment between tiro two sections of this country, but there is a conflict of interests, which there is very little Irope of ever reconciling. Calhoun, Clay and Webster, have sacrificed their lives in the effort to effect it; and ' after this there can be but liflle hope that 1 others will be more successful. One ovr- ^ donee of the existence of this conflict of 1 interest- is tf? bo foliml in tlio mournful 1 vacillation* of our coun ry in respect to 1 Cuba. It is further to bo seen in the ef. 1 forts to prevent the Kinney expedition. The only possible hope of co operation and co-existence between these two conflicting 1 section*, is in a rigid observanco of tho 1 constitution. Hut this has lost its claim 1 to tire respect of our people* Tests of re- 1 ligious opinion have been considered we cessarv. Tho timo-honored laws of natu- ' ralizatiou are considered insufficient for this occasion. And altogether, the constitution is quite too old Cushioned a concern for tho enlightened spirit sf modern progress. There arc many of the claims of the Know-Nothing party, which are in contravention of its most sacred principles. Every thing indicates an approaching crisis, and it is imperative upon every Sorthern man to arm himself for the occasion, and pursne will) unhesitating firmness and devotion,the path to which duty I prompts him. And in reference to this ' course, the young orator closed his address " as follows : ' ' In viow, then, of auch a consummation what should be our course ? With the track our fit hers tn>d before us, why hesitate? ! When n long train of abuses usurpations, < persuing invariable the same object, evinces n determination to reduce na under absolute ( despoitsm it is our sorted duty, to throw ] ofT such govermcnt and to provide new gurrds for our future security. Thus spoke our veteran ancestors of "76, and thus should npc.ike the South in her present emergency; ar.d thus, ere long we hope she 1 will speak. "In the ensuing conflict, gentlemen, yon ' will know the position of your 8tat^ That < flog acknowledges but one.

Kush to its rescue*?plant yourselves l??neath it, and leave it not till the palmetto wave In triumph over oar ransomed righta; or it it muit fall let there be no Carolinian eje to gar.c upon ita defeat." This address required about 45 minutes for ita delivery, and at many points of its progress was highly npplnuded. EDITOirSTABLE. Blacdwood's Maoazike. , Contmtaof Juno number. The Rev.
