' . . COLUMBIA.. Friday Morning* March 13, I860. The aristocracy of England and the old tory journals are becoming much alarmed at the rapid decadence of their ancient prestige. -The recent appointment as Premier of Mr. Dis? raeli, a man of the people, who roso by his own exertions from almost the humblest of social positions, and whose highest honor coveted'is that of "gentleman of ?tho press," is re? garded as almost a fatal blow to the time-honored institution. As socie? ty's brains become enlightened, the oyes cease to be dazzled -with the tinsel of court trappings. Feathers and coronets fail to lend dignity and imperial purple to impress with awe. The practical tendency of tho ?ge, does not even stop here, since mo? narchies are forced to seek among the commoners that intelligence for go? verning, tho privileged class seems no longer to afford. The barrier once cast down, it must Boon sink into contempt and ridiculo. Titles will doubtless ere long he as cheap as old clothes, and the Battle Roll of Hast? ings Abbey sent to the National Museum of Antiquities. Half a cen? tury ago the descendant of the Percy turned salt miner, and the Douglas cured fish, but even then the aristo craOy of England was rich in most of its ancient glories. Now sadder times have come upon it. It might with? stand assault, but what salvation was evor in store for an institution once touched with the blighting shafts of ridionle, or belittled with contempt? It will be a great day for England when the last blow falls; when her titles, ceremonies and baubles are stowed away like old lamber os they are, in her great store-house of his? tory, there to moulder ond minglo their dust with that of the ages they irradiated with their grandeur ond their glory. The Chief Justice of the United States is paying the penalty exacted by party spirit, for the crime of having opinions of his own, even on questions of low.' Referring to his recent letter to the Senate, tho Wash? ington correspondent of the New - Haveu Journal says "it is pitiful to see o man of such splendid powers, and otherwise noble character, so de? voured by aspirations unworthy of him, that his best friends cannot put full confidence in him;" and the more unscrupulous of the radicals at Washington, the New York Times : asserts, do not hesitate to denounce 1 him as seeking a nomination for the Presidency from the Democratic party !

Scott for Governor,- and pledging Iiis cordial sypporty was read. B. F., Whittemoro offered \iu re? sponse a complimentary r?solution, returning the thanks of the Conven? tion, and pledging their support to Col. Robertson for tho position of United States Senator. The resolu? tion was unanimously adopted. Lemuol Boozer, of Lexington, was selected for Lieutenant-Governor on the third ballot. The following ad? ditional officers were then selected: Comptroller-General-Dr. J. C. Nea gl?. State Treasurer-N. G. Porker. Secretary of State-F. L. Cardoza, (colored.)

Grant was recommended as a candidate for President of the United, States. The following despatch, addressed to a prominent member of the Con? vention, explains itself: "WASHINGTON, March 9.-House will not probably admit more mem? bers from any State than the number authorized by the law after the last census appointment. "SCHUYLER COLFAX." Mr. Leslie, on behalf of the can? didates nominated, on behalf of the Republican cause, oil who loved their country, and all who liked to hoar their friend from Darlington (Mr. Whittemore) sing, begged thatf he wonld be allowed to sing, and that oil the friends of the cause would joiu with him in the chorus. Mr. Whittemore then led off in singing, "Rolly Round the Flag," which was joined in by all present, Mr. Leslie keeping time with a ruler. On motion, the Convention ad? journed sine die. No PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.-The Washington correspondent of the Bultimoro Gazelle, who is not always wrong, says: "Nor must I refrain from exposing a new 'device of the enemy.' It Beems tho radicals have determined to hold no Presidential election at all next fall. They argu? that tho Con? stitution nowhere appoints a time for indulging in such tom-foolery; neither does it make direct provision in case of the removal, &c, of the President and vice-President, but expressly leaves the whole of these matters to Congress. It is contend? ed, therefore, that tho legislative branch of the Government, by o mero ad, may continue Mr. Wade 'or any other man' in tho Presidency for four complote years from the day of his 'inauguration,' there being no referenco whatever in the sacred in? strument to tho '4th of March.' Upon looking into tho Constitution, E do not hesitate to say that Congress lins more colorable authority to do such a deed than it has for nine tenths of tho legislation already in? flicted upon the country. This course will undoubtedly be taken by tho radicals if 'Democratic victories,' as they aro called, shall continue." . It is certainlv odd ononrrh that Cider Justice Chase should now give as a reason for again postponing the trial of Jeff. Davis, that he must first preside at the trial of Andrew John? son. When Davis fell into the bonds of justice, Johnson, of oil men in the country, most earnestly demanded his trial and punishment. Three years have passed away, Johnson himself is denounced as a traitor and enemy of the country, and the trial of Davis is postponed in order that tho trial of Johnson m?y be prose? cuted.-Nev?

RECjtPTjto?K.-This patriotic -Union soldier-who hos taken upon him? self the praiseworthy task of giving che lie- to th? unfounded assertious of tho enemies, of tho Constitution and the Uni?n-the radical, party that Northern men were not safe in the South,-by proceeding on foot and unattended through tho States of the latd South?rn Confederacy, bearing the stars and stripes with him. ' He was met on the tho Milledgevillo Road, outside of the city limits, by a deputation of oitiziuis iu carriages, one of which was provided for him, and iu which he. was taken to the Planters' Hotel, where he was wel? comed by our local brother, john L. Ells, formerly of the Confederate army, but now of tho Constitutionalist, who deliveredn .neat and appropriate speech, which was listened to by a very respectable crowd and loudly cheered. The Sergeant is a good walker and stauds the fatigues of his journey very well. He will remain here as the guest of our citizens itntil Mon? day next, wheu he will again resume his toilsome march toward the capi? tal of the country, where his patri? otic task will terminate. He deserves well of the Southern people, for he is really their champion in this task; aud we earnestly commend him to their good grnces and kind attentions along the rest of his toute.
