But whether such Whig voters (|f ?an be made to turn out much belter, at a ] future election without another hard cider excitement is a question for the consideration of politicians. Democrats think th#y cannot, Whigs think they can.? ' Tiihe will shew. There is a rumor that the si ate of Mr. Clay's health renders it necessary f?>r hiin to1 resign h s seat in the U.

Were there tio important principle at stake to prevent the resignation of Co!. Preston at this tiine we have no doubt that it wnufJjK' much more agrceabelo his feelings to retire from t!ie S mate Han c? to remain in it under existing circumstances. Ret there litis been for vears a gradual and alurmiriT declension in our s. n political insifitulions. There has heen a growing tendencv to pass through ullrti < ? 7 democracy to anarchy. >Ve shaii at pr< sent, however, advert to this tendency only at the point where it hears upon the subject before us. From the time w en the prose,*constitution went into operation, selfish demagogues, as well as a few true, but shortsighted and misguided patriots, have been striving to break down that feature in the government which was designed to give it stability and fixed character bv rendering it, in w P 7 seme measure,independent of tire frequent and evanescent changes to which popular opinion is necessarily liable under the itifiucncc ?f free institutions. And they have, to no inconsiderable extent, sue ceeded in accomplishing their purpose, in several of the states. The {'rumors of the constitution having learnt from ex periencc, under the Articles of Confederation, the great evils of rendering (be tenure of .ofiare by the representatives of the states in Congress, dependent upon the mere will of the state legislatures, provided, in the hew constitution that the re prostatativrs^q the states shouKl hold their places for the term of six years, and, that, independently of any change of opinion1 in }ho states or their legislatures in the mean time. But it has now in some slates, heroine the practice, in palpable violation of (his important provision of. the constitution, to instruct senators out of their seats, or in other words, to recall them, just as often as the fluctuations <if eiihei local or general noli tics, or the short-lived intrigues of unprincipled demagogues can 1)2 made to effort changes in th,e party character of the stale legislatures. And ;nstances have occunedof instruct tons being . t given by the legislature of the same slate of a character cian.elrirnllv Opposed tc .? it ... . each other, at intervals nt no! more than a ft/ L ? % 7 single venr and of Senators lining recalled, with commissions' fo. six rears, who had served only a single session! The gonera! adoption of such practice would be nr effectual change of the constitution on tills point, anc! would he carrying the country hack, not openly and fairly,- but hv stealth, to n provision in the Articles c?l Confederation wbic.h past experience had ;;;oved tr work so \crv I adiv that v.r judicious slalctiuan thought >f retaining it. * U'iiv do not those who wish to limit the term of senatorial s<:r*.ice, by toe mere changeable will of the shite legislatures, come to the p ant openly and boldly, like fair and honest men. I>v proposing an amendment of the constitution to that effect ? Evidently because they know t!.c deliberate opinion of the public would be against them, and that they could not procure the adoption of such an amendment. No State in the Union would vote fur it. What they cannot do directly, thev therefore, attempt to do indirectly, hv occasional insidious and passionate appeals to party prejudice ; and hy sophistical misrepresentations of the doctrine that n representative is responsible to his const:! nuts. ii is true that the representative is responsible to his constituents; hut th<s responsibility iSth fined and controlled by ilie constitution and laws of the land, which govern the constituent as well as iiie representative. Yhe present is the first time, so far as we recollect, that an attempt has been made in South Carolina to subvert this important feature ir: our constitution ; and the honorable lot of resisting the attempt has fallen upon Col. Preston.

Preston is an il- ! t ' hydration of this, and we cannot doubt.:1 ' that her further course towards him will ' I continue to be an illustration of it.
