Rail Rfoud Again.. It really seems that nothing comes in th way of the Charleston Press, which can ptissibly bie tuirned against this road, which they do not eagerly seize and publish, to gratify the morbid taste of their disappoint edl aid repining city. 'The-y could have proc tired the roacl, which they ar now trying to injure; buit which in reality is in. juring them so much, direct to their city if they had have displayed sny public spirit or enterprise. It wasfirst offered to trrem and pressed upoin them, but they refused to do anything for it, and now that it hns beena built without them, and doing well, they be-in to repine, become sore and peevi "h, and vent their spleen in abusing the road and ill connected with it. Now all this does no giod. Such a course can never benefit Charlesion, and it injures n0hoey but theimielves, It only tends to alicnate the friends of the W. & M. Rail road, to create enemiees and divert trade eswhere. We think our Charleston frieis are pursu.ng a mistaken course T1,e thing is done ns iw, and it cannot be helied. The wisest course then would ce:n to e to take it good lat uiredly, a:id mi:ce hie best of it. These reflections have beeii railled fo rth from reading in tho (urice of the 221 inst., the communica tion of soeic pee vish and fret ful, gouty or dly, eptic traveler who hia been over our roal, see mc how mneh fault lie coul titl wIh the rm:i, cars, ho.sts, houesic, cco eiuco'rs and every body els ;-in fact there is suarcely a stIltetnce in his Comuminica ticn, tru beiioing to end, that does not cntimn a emiplmnt. WIen he reaches Sumotervilte he says, "got there the worst aiu colhh-st hreaekfist er er served to Chris trans, for (ifty cents each : host would make a good jailer, liush the pceiple foir Iheir 1mNits and crimes by bal tare, and keep ti: ht 0ie dolor to exact black-:iail. )h ! iiy ccuetntrv, all ti;- worst of won de'.rs in the State o' Suth Carolina." Now as regards friend r:1ercmucA.r., the the pohte aid attest eve proprietor sftie Il:rlee 1house, we are aide from experi ence to deny any. such asserttons. Anrd all who hye, ihke ourselves, partaken of his nice, clean, well prepared, and hut breakfasts will most readily join us in tes tifying tlat he is the very man to please the' public. Ve have no doubt that all of " South Carolina's" assertions, (for such fr the mone he ussulmies) have about as 'i-mch foun tidat in as this gratuitous miisno icer of Mr. Aretcmncs.t.'s qualilications. And we are sorry that our city papers can tied nothing better than such trash as this wihiiiin, comilphdiit to ill: up their columns with ; and sincerely hme Ihat the W. & M.

From the latter, we oight safely antici. pate, the greater portidA of our revenue : if the Scupremo Court did not interiore, and decide it unconstitutional, because "i it wvas taxing inmorality." Between you and I, I am rather inclined to the the opinion, that the decision would be right; for 1 have the impression, that much of the money, that should ldninister to the comforts of the " loved ones at horne," has been spent here, in immoral practices." We second the General's notion, and request bin at his earliest convenience to inform Its whether or no, there are any boys in California.

This Association, about which so much has been said and written of late, was forined lit Sumtervni' on the 25th January last. It now numbers, we have been initi rmed, some hund red and filty members and is accomplishing wonders fior our village. Before it went into operations, you trot only could not walk the streets at night without being jostled ofl of the side walk by so:mie rough dirty "darkie," but you could not find a servant at home when one was wanted. You couldn't keep an egg, a chicken, vega table or any thing of the kind, and you couldn't find a polite industrious sobner negio in the village ; but now our ser vanits are at home and always in their proper places. They begin to look neat, sober, ail contented, and a body can trust them a little beyonzd their "ling 'rs end." We occasionally, two, get eggs fir breakfast, and chickens fir dinner. -So much then fur what it, has dune in Sumierville; and we have i'-ard, even. tf greater wonuders that it has dtone fhior 'onr (ounltry friends.

It is gettin thne our people were being iniiorincd upon tie merits of this quest on, as we understand it will form one of the principles involcod in the ii xt Congress : " Mr. EIoTott : There are two sugges. tions in regird to a ch:iue im the niotde of appoinin g Electors of President atd Vice I'resident, which stem to mue to carry weight with theni. but while I make them) I wish to .io)vo' all sympathy with laj. 'erry and his deiagog ism. First : The coisti ution provides that each State shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature may direct, a number of Electors. &c., &c. To the Legislature is thus given thetpower of providing the mo:1e of appointlent-nut the power of appointimg. Now, it is a maxim of law and ol co: nmun senise, that when a trust is giv en to devise a miode of doing anything, the agenlt cannot suplersede the~ pwer ai~d ex.' cute tihe trust hintself. A trustee to app.oinit ani ageilt cannhlliiself exenlte the trust for i hidh the aigenit is to be appo01inted. 1t such1 a trustee were to aippoint. himiself, it would be frauduienit and void. All that ihe Legislat nre, thiereto, canl do~ is to de vise a moiide of apphoinltmient. The Legis. laiture is not thne conistituienciy of thec Elcc tors to be aphpointedl. Th'le electors are to derive their authority from somec source to be directed byv toe Legislature, not lriomn lie L'-gishature itself. 1 (10 not see that thios objectlonl to the competelcy of the Legic' latuore can lie larly and hoinest ly met01; or that the present. node of appoilitintg Elec tors is oilier thtan a usurpation of iower not puroperly bielonging to it. Seconid :lai regard to thle question who of right ought to be thec constituiency of the Elecntoral College. It is very clear that thne appi rit unent of that bodly is to bie sruide by the Slatentb h eiltr o it i assmeso betheState, it is a usiurpa lion. Now, what is the State, as recog. iized and established by the 'onitutioni 01 the Uiiited States ?
