Mr. E'iitoi : We Concluded our last article with a comment on the road from Wil liamston to Wilson's Uridjjc, on Saluda River. The crops from Wilson's liridge to Cowan's Bridge on Reedy Itivor, arc goncr.dlv pretty good. The Into corn has been greatly injured by the late drouth. In the lo\Y.jr n.irt of (Iraohville and utmor mrfc of ? r i L turaus district, they have not h.-id any rain, only one or two small showers ("just enough to lay tho dust) for k'ix or seven AV3oli8. The cotton crop, it is thought, will he very slim. Wo enjoyed the rido thnmirh this nortion of the country verv C A ?' " J well, from the fact that a grout many of the placcs we passed wore pleasantly associated \rith the past. We arrived at Kdon, in Laurens district, just us the bright (tod of day was shedding his last resplendent rays i o'er hill and dalo, and ^ildin<c the lofty , oaks with its mellow golden hue. The sccnc was enchanting-?the nir fragrant with the hanging foddor, which had beon gathered just long enough to produce a di'lieious odor to those who have uny tasto for farming. Eden is situated in one of the I ploasantcst and healthiest portions of tlic 1 district. And if one of the most romantic places in a district surrounded bv beautiful oaks and hickorys?roses and varies ited flowers,and twining tendrils?and occupied by a kind and accommodating gentleman, ami u number of lovely and highly accomplished young ladies, with plenty of all the neoessafifta of lifo will constitute an Kd'un in this country, the place is right'y named.

Wo were surprised to ( lind so much opposition to the road in good old Laurens. Wo have always looked upon ' it as a pattern to other district*. The vil- ! lago is the most moral and refined of any j in the State, a '-spirit of improvement" j scents to pervade every breast. They h tve j recently built a splendid Presbyterian Fc- j male College in the village which is destin- J cd to he of great benelit to the district and ; State. They have nt present something ; over 90 scholars. l?ut, why confino your; spirit of improvement to your own district? We all know that there is annually so much j money paid into the State treasury, and we j moreover know that that money in some | way or other will he expended. Well, now i let us put tlu question in plain terms. Ts j ?liyv i._r ....i -i i I I mil: li 11 jy pujigi IHHUIU 1110 1|U^U<1UIUVC III present that promisea to he of more real j and lasting benefit to the Stale, yen, the j whole th in tiie Blue liidgc Railroad? j We answer thore is not.

Tlien why | not vote for the men who will vote for fur- I inor appropriation Dy me ^tatc at the noxt j sitting of the Loginhituro, or at any other time it should be needed. Mr. Editor, you j must excuse me, for instead of making one digression, \yc havo made a double di^reh- i sion. l)ut our motives arc pure, if we do have h bungling way of expressing tbc'u. The congressional onnvaes also is tjuito exciting throughout the oongrcsbi mijiI di*-1 t> let. Each candidate ?oe:ii8 confident of 8UJbnM and their friends seem more eonU- I dent than they. For instance: C<<1. A^u- ' mohk's friends count lii<11 1,500 votes in I Anderson, 1 ,i>vJ0 in lMokcmj, 1 in I 1 ( irnoiiV'illn nil!) ill Kn n'f-inKnr.r v - 111 1 ; '"'ri, "<" w | iii Union, which will undoubtedly clect! him.

Col. Jonks' frienda count him from *2,000 to 2,'i00 votes in Greenville, from 700 to #00 > in Pickens, the same in Anderson ami l'n- ! ion and some 500 or 000 in Spartanburg, I which will elect him also. Hut wo cannot j tell "who will be Governor until after the election." lJut if a person will travel over the congressional district and believe all | tliey lio:tr, tliey will at. once come to the i oupcluH on that thoy will all bo olocted, and j on tlio other hulicl, tliey wouiu come to tiio Conclusion that neither of tlio candidates wore fit to bo constables, let-adone members to Congress. But since the days of Wakukn li. Davis, our mountain district has been as well, or better renrcscnted. than any other d'lHitfetin tho 8tito. And wo are confident that in tho hands of citlier of tho three candidates now boforo the people it will not lwose any of its former popularity. l>ui our impression, from wlnit we have heard during this short tour, is, that Mnj.

Col. Orr has never failed sis ;i Southern man to appreciateand understand the Northern National Democracy in their relations to the South and to the Union. At the South the opponents of the Democratic party labor to defeat it by making Southern Democrats believe that all Northern Democrats are Abolitionists. On this point Southern men are art to be too eredlilting* *) Till lu?llOVIIIIl til'lt t ill VV'lw\l.\ ? ,v ** 'r- *? * * *- * * w. in is treacherous to tin: Constitution, they denounce the whole indiscriminately, and thus furnish the Abolitionists with the argument they use must effectively to draw oil' Northem Democrats from their fraternity with the South. Looking back, we find that tho united Northern and Southern Democracy have twelve times electcd Democratic Presidents. In neither ease could they have succeeded without this union. Look j* i ?? ? n i .1 lorwani, u isc<|uanv cicav 111:11 success can conto only from the. same co-operation.? IJenec the idea ought not to ho entertained North or South, that there i? a distinction.

The nu neriial h.it..lice in the 1 . t< htweeu the two ( !. silic 1 oils o S.at .< in no longer he relit d on for all ctjii !d?r un union. The Nation;.I Democracy in t'.c free Stat' 8 is tlie only snl titnte. and tlii^ has become the indispensable safe-guard of the I'nion. Ilow iumoi tant. th<>:i. the r;? I * latious between the Northern mid bout'tern IV'inocnicy- The South eunnot, oleet ;i T'c idont but with the National Democrats oi the .North, when united, they always haw and always will together hold tlie Administration. Now llio practical issue 011 State lli<>'ht? has eoine down to the Mile upon question of the power ot' Congress over.slavery in the Territories. On every other point the Northern and Southern united Democracy have achieved permanent victories. First, th?"y settled it, that by the Consti tuliou no State had granted to Congress any power to interfere witU its domestic institutions ; and that consequently its forms of labor are its own, just as inviolable as its forms of faith. Historical research litis developed a great fact to strengthen this position now impregnable, viz: that t lie colonics instructed the delegates they sent to the Congress, that they should agree to ueclarc the unilea euiov.ies independent only on the condition " that the regulation <fl- the internal a flairs of each colony should bo li ft to its own Legislature." John llaucoelr. of Matsa chusetts, was the fivst ti? introduce this principle into tlio Constitut'oti of tlio United States, hy his nincuduignts, ' reserving to the respective States all powers not delejjnted to the United States." But Massachu setts hsu- persistently repudiated Hancock and the Constitution, and demanded con solid.ition : first, when she wanted her coin moroo, nnd second, when she wanted her tariff to rulo the Union. Now she demands Northern consolidation to rule the South by insisting that Congress sh ?1! prohibit slavery in the territories. Defeated everywhere else on the former dogmas, she has just defeated herself on the last, by her iiepTesentatives in Congress voting for the Crittenden-Montgomery bill for tho admission of Kansas. thus conceding that the new States shall decide the question asto slavery. Tt is Encouraging to note the progress of the argument and tho force of constitutional truth. First, thoy were compelled to admit that Congress has no power over slavery in tho old States ; when they inaisted that they could restrict it in ? now State and struck at the sovereignty of Missouri. Hut tlitt Nftrihnrn nnil Southern cy nettled the prinoijile thero that u now St ito comes into tho Union with all the. poworH of an old State, because CoQgretw chh admit nothing loss than n St'to. Th* ofior iuude in that adjustment wag admitting <1 ji'OUJI I iUlU Ufi it u!v!S!&m of th?* rights of tho States in tho Territories.?- i From flint error sprang up tho conflict on j tho i??Mo uf tho. powur of Congress to prohibit slavery in tho Tcrritorlow, ?n?l hero ? great swarm of jjpmoeruts ufc tho North rushed into Abolitionism. Tho honest HltiOMg them woro misled by the specious argument, that if slavo Inbor wont into n Xcrrfoery, free hrbor murt do < lint the National Dcmocvnt.s saw live soj>li- j istry and replied. " by the game rule, that it' tree labor only is to be admitted, that excludes the South with her labor, and that i is unjviHi tomo jHmtii, lor tlie Territories I i belong equally to nil." A sound I'mou man could not fail to see, that to settle the constitutional question of shivery in Territories, the same rule \vn8 to ho applied i;* in the equality of the j ()!ll and IH'.U' S'f^tos mill flint tv-.u n equality of sill t Iso States it) all tlie Terri' toritB."
