Wo may rejoice at the. termination of the political existence of this corrupt and corrupting ad ministration. Prom the chart of politic*! prin liples which (?en. HAKIUHON has given us in bis Dayton speech, we hive, reason to be lieve ami hope his admit? ?st ration will be what tho Southern W bigs expect and wish-strictly republic-ill and regardful of tho rights of .'io Sentes, in opposition to the consolidation and Federal doctrines of the present Dynasty in pow.jr. The Government, its at present ad ministered and practised, is essentially ?1^^ electivo monarchy, with the forms and name of a Republic. All power is fast concentra ting in the hands of tlie- executive, with a ma chinery and part)' patronage and operation which may alway? nominate the succession, ami give the peoplo thc n unc of choosing a President-when, in reality, the President names and elects his successor. I regret the position South Carolina will Oioupy among the Southern States. She will stand utmost isolated and alone in that sectit.u, whore of all sections, union is more absolutely necessary for her strength and very existence. Thc vacillating and (luctuating course of some of ber politicians has placed hor in that uu torfrriare predicament.
