Jfy l)far Sir : I have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of yonr invitation to preside over the Demnciatic meeting of Monday next, ' " I have long since determined to abstain from further participation in political life atid therefore find myself compelled to d? clinc the honor you proffer me. 1 should, however, be glad to attend the mealing as, a private eltiren, diJ not engagements of a domestic nature, rendered Imperative by my long absence from the country, detain me from the city upon the day in question. ' I gTadly avail myself ..f this opporlun 11} to express my coniioueu neatly tliy with the Democratic cause, and my ardent wishes for the success of llioee cou.-titutionsl principlca for which the iceent war was undertaken by the North. Separated as I thus aui from the distinguished soldier a ho litis been chosen as the leader of our opponects, I know that you all' agree with me in the highest respect for the services he has rendered our country; but it is my conviction that the measures of the party which has placed hin; in nomination are hut contaniii.ntiot s of strife, snd can never restore pence or constitutional supremacy, and thus comp'eto the wotk which he and other brave soldiers so ably commenced. The war was only the first . epoch in the history of the struggle lu which we have been so long engaged. "The work of the soldier is, I trust, for. ever ended, and it remains for th* people to fulfil the great objects for which they, or their sons and brothers, were called to the field.

Charleston has long ;ago iooKe<i m m trade of the Great \V?at to sustain and in crease her commercial proaperliy. But strange to say, tiie iofluenees of the city have overlooked, and sfiil overlook, the greatest and moat important railroad roote to her fur North-Western trader We mean the extension of n Railroad from Gi-enville to Asheville, some sixty miles only, where by not on'y the East Tennes-ee. Kentucky and Ohio trade will he recur, d. but the vastly important, and valuable, and inoreas" ing trade of \V< stern N< rth Car?>!li a. The latter trade would supply Charleston bono tifully with all those products f?>r which she is now dependent on New England; and she eonM be an exporter if she would of apples, potatoes, hotter, cheese, cabbage ete.,e'?c., instead of importer. This short, id comparatively cheap and eai-ily built road of only sixty 'miles, would do more for Charleston and the Slate, than any now In contemplation. Yet Charleston over looks it utterly, and ia straining every nerve for the Blue Ridge Ilond alone, which can never give her any trade Ironi Western lfortb Carolina, worth mentioning, ami wli ioli is absolutely tin ice or at least ye( twice as lorg ond as c<#tly a route to Knox ville as th? line by Ashexille. We mean, the unfinished line yet'lobc put on contract. I.et the Blue Ridge Road be built in due time if I hey choose, but I Is *? Jirtt consideration is, to meet at once the Tenneesi o snd Kentucky lines at Aaheville, whereby Chsrb *t?n would roaliee an betantially u I the profile ?| the Blue Ridge Railroad, and much niort besides. \t ill Charleston look through th# heart of Western North Carolina towardi J.onisville, Kentucky, or confine her vision solely to the long stretch nl barren mono tains and tunnel# on the route, which skirts the m<?t unproihictive regions of the North Carolina coiifii.ee and of (teorgia along the lo*g. arduous and costly line of the Blue Ridge route f We sKall sec whether the citizens of Charleston will knoet #nd eon ruler their direct in tereat in fitfemstter. We have great don! t( a'lout it, fna-m'ich as the t haihst n 're and the Charleston talkers have never < ' jtei.t seemed to give it cny aeri. us atici.ti >n' b Ok -1 ~ ^ ^ _ u .j imjjl i iw-ge f HI 8 Episcopal Tiiannial Convention. Ti ii Cnnventivn,' re| resenting the entire body of l'!|>i>eo|ia1!int in the United Stit*?, is now in session in New York. This, then in the fit at church territorially reconstruct] eJ. It k{|\ be a long tipae, in ell probability, bdore the Methodist audlVnabyierbtn Churches North and South will come to getffJV, fn consequence of the faefv that the Northern churches of |lt*ee denomination* have made political docllinea a leal of fel Inw*l?lp. The Baptist Ctlurchea of America, and nil over the world, nevar did have, and can never have, aa anch, any- eentrnliant ion, or Cleneral Assembly or convocation of mHlhoriUtfi+e power. The Charleston Afovar* has a very inter eating cli'orial reepreting the Epiaeopal Convention. We are plenaed to eee the secular ?pia?a Itcatow some attention upon the great religion* organiaatlons wliieli ? iat in thia and other ennntriea. The forma of church government, whilet they admit of individual excellence and nndoitbted piety in many peraona, in every communion, yet in thoir tendency exert n prodigious influence either for good or for evil; not only upon the mne*ee who adhere to thia or that chnr?h, but upon society, nod upon civil gov-rnment end its administration ? It Reenta to or it were ea?y to show that in all ages I he forma of religion existing among a pcnp'e, h*ve materially modified the forma <.f government and the law*. This is a great subject never dlscuseed l.y our statesmen or by the political or literary journals. We Nlirteu'ly believe there will never be tlie greatest |uissihle progress made in the knowledge of the laws which Rn?tai? <>r which undermine civil liberty, ti'l states men and political writer* boldly venture upon such discussions. We maintain that. In proportion to the cenlrnl despotic power exercised by a church or religious hivrar by over the conscience* of its adherent* will he iil'iiiiately the civil despotism and political centralisation. But wc do not propo-'O, ourselves, to enter at present, up on thi? broad Uncultivated field ; the titnaa arc riot now auspicious. Wc entirely concur with the J/fmiry on the Paiish question. It has teemed to n?f with all deference to the canon maker* ot the I'p:Sir-prl Church, that the rule established prohibiting any. minister ? f that denomination fr?in preoebiug. w ithout special permission, anywhere in the paiieli if an other, which only ha* ideal existence for a j town, county or ?eciion, u totally ioappli. cable in this country, if not wrong everywhere. Why should an Rpieco| al c'orgyman b? requ*r?d to claim in a town or village. that his pariah embracee, not only 'he town or district generally, but. the pulpit and inside of ev?ry Presbyterian, kl-lholut or Baptist Chureit wthin su<di town or district.

Marshal Serrano, acruiu|)3tiicd by seven gonerals of the regular ariny, entered Madrid on 8alnrdar. The soldier liKocutors enjoyed a triumphal oral ion, in which tho eitixon* and military took part, and which, according to our cat>le telegram description. partook ot the character of as fine a 'turn out" us coul.I lie witnessed in New York, even about "these times" of a Presidential election. The strocts and huildiugs of the capital, public edifices and private niauv sions were decorated iu tho most sunurh manner; the side-walk.., squares and houae-stopa were crowded with people; there was an immense procession, and tho generals were bailed with * wild enthusiasm." A military parade and review of the National Guard followed?a very fine affair, and which evoked the most fervent expressions in manifestation of the popular will. The inscriptions borne on the banners rv-aflirined tho sentence ot the expelled daynasty, and proclaimed the programme of the reformed policy o( the nation in a few short. 1ml decisive sentences. These were, " 1>o*ii with the Bourbon," Sovereignty of the People." ** licligiuus Liberty " and " Frre blaciilioD." With their case thus set forth to the world, and their future intentions thus enunciated, the Spaniards cant* down to practical work. Marshal Serrano addressed the uialtitade, informing them that ne had united with General Prim, in calling Marshal Rspartero, Duke de Vittoria, to the head of the State. The cable telegram d<>cs nut say in what constitutional capacity, or under what designation the old soldier Is to scrre, hut it ro?y be presumed that it will he as chief of a provisional government, pending the drafting of a Constitu tion and the submitting of it for ratification or amendment to the jmopie hj universal suffrage. A new choioat was then formed, with Serrano us President of the Council, Prim Minister ol tVar, Senor Mados Minister of Finance, Scnoi Oloyaga Minister of Foreign Affairs, and othei eminent reformers with portfolios.
