Atmong by no mreans the least inater esting Celebration of' tihe past wee'k was the turn out, on WVednesday. of'the' Claremont Tlroop, whlo as uasual com. memnorate their Anniversary and theo day together. There was a goodly gathering from all piarts of the District and a fair sprinkling of the ficir, who are always ready otn such oc-casionts to greet and cheer the Orator with their smiles. The oration wasn deliver-ed in the Court House at 11 o'clock by TnIOMAs M. LOoAN Jr, one of' thae Laroop era. Tho popular sentiments and con clusions drawvn by thte speaker were well delivered and recoi ved with tnp plause by the audience. At two o'clock the troop with their guests, the Saumter Riflemen, Beat No. 2, and a numa ber - of citizens adjgg-ane 1 to a table,, that groaned with'the good things of the ,kitchen.

It really seems that nothing comes isn I the way of the Charleston Press, which can possibly he t, rned against this road, which they do not eagerly seize and publish, to gratify the morbid taste of their disappoint ed and repining city. They could have procured the road, which they are now trying to injure; btt which in reality is in. jtriig them so much, direct to their city if they had have dis.layed any public spirit or enterprise. It wasfirst offered to tim and pressed upon them, but they refused ti do anything for it, and now that it has been built without them, and doing well, they beglin to repine, become sore and peevi.Vh, and vent their spleen in abusing the road and ill connected with it. Now all this does no g-mod. Such a course can never benefit C.h:rlesion. and it injures nuioiy but them-selves, It only tends to alienate the friends of the W. &. M. Rail rioal, to create enenies and divert trade tlstewhere. We think our Charleston friewils are pursuing a mistaken course 'T'e thing is done nmw, and it cannot be hIelped. 'lhe wisest course then would -ce:n to e to take it good n:ituredly, and m:!ke Rie bt of it. 'T'hese rellections have been called ft-rtl from reading in the C'ourice of the "2l i inst., the commtinMi'a tijn of somet peevish oand fret iul, genty or dysteptic traveler who hai been over our rr.:el, see inttg how toich fstit lie could f find wit ii tir road, cars, hosts, houses, con uittct' rs and every boly elsa ;'in fact there is scar cly a sentence in his comutiinic:a. tion, fromn begioiting to end, ait does not contain a rspi hu it.

Now as regards frienl Ml trit-:.r., the the polte tul attur: v proprietor ofthe Ilarlee 1 louse, we are aic from experi enee to deny any. such assertions. And all who have, lke ourselves, partaken of hin nice, clean, wvell prepared, and but breakfasts will most readily join its ins tes tifying that lie is tie very tman to please the politic. We have no doubt that all of " South Carolina'.," assertions, (for such i; the name he nsitones) have about :is emtuch foundation as this gratuitous misno timer of M\lr. MtitEr.t.'s qtulilicr tions. And we are sorry that our city papery (on find nothing better than such trash as this wthitin complhint to 1i1: up their cohuns with ; and sincerely lotp. t hat tie W. & M.

The book was received from her hands by D. ). G. M., Ltno, who with a few appropriate remarks placed it in the possession of P. G , CurrTio, who rose .nd in behalf of his brethren accepted the gift. le com mented at some length upon its appro priateness and beauty-showed the conformity of the Oider with its les sons of Friendship, Love and Purity, and closed by assuiing the audience and especially the fiir donors that as Odd-Fellows they were bound by and would endeavor to abide by and carry out into practice the pure and holy precepts taught in its sacred pages. Another ode was sung and P. G., W. It. H us-rER, the Orator tf the oc. easion, was introduced to the meeting, who, in a speech of great eloquence and beauty, in which he ably vindica ted the practice and principles of the Order, entertained the audience .f-r over an hour and closed aiid the hearty plaudits of the asseiaige. The procession then returned to the Lodge room and dispersed without anytiing occurring to inarr the occasion. Mr. lIc ~-riae's speech was an able one, and lie has been requested to furnish the Lodg-e with a copy for publicai.n. We are .sure that we but express the wish of inaniy out of the Order as well as the Lodge, when we say that we hope. he will give his consent and per tnit the publication of what, we think, will do the Ji der a great deal of beinelit. e We find the folikswiig coicise and point el ieter in the Curoiinian, upon this in tcresting qiiestion, which is so sioon to be discussted be.ore onr peo ple, and retrarding two of the views presenteI as foreihIe and somi w halt crginal. we imsert tile letter entire into our columns. It is gettini tiee our people were bing iifriicd upon the merits of this iuescton, as we Understand it will form one of the principles involved in the next Congresi "Mr. Ei>To.it There are two stiges. lnons im regard to a ch:iuige im the imoe of appointing Electors of lresideint and Vice P'resident, which seem to mhe to carry weight withii theni. but whi le I onke theii I wish to.disovow all sympathy with Maj. 'erry and his deuagogisi. First : The consti ution provides that each Skate shall appoint, ill such manner as the Legislature iay direct, a numiber of Electors. &c., &c. To the Legislature is thus given the power of providing the mo:!e of ippointinent-nut the power of appointing. Now, it is a maxii of law and of co1tnon sense, that whien a trust is giv en to devise a tuode of doing anything, the agent cannot sujmirsede the power aid exe cute the trust hianself. A trustee to app~oinlt an1 agent canno~it himiiself excute tile trust for whichi the agenat is to be .appoinited. 1t such a trulstce were to aippoinit himaself, it would he fraudul~ent and void. All thlat Ihle Legislatuire, the~refore, can do is to de. vise a modse of apapointmenit. The Legis. latuore is not t he conlstitiiency of the~ Eiec tors to tbe a ppointed. The electors are to derive their :oithiority froin sorne source to be directed by ine LegislJature, not tromi lie L'-gislature itself. I do not see thait tis obajection1 to the comiipetenicy of the L egis. lature can lie faarly and hoinest ly mlet ; or tha th prsen moe o apoinmgElec tors is oilier thtan a tusurpationi of power niot properly hie!ongiig to it Secoand : la regard to the question who of right ought to tie the coiistituency of the -EI~,torail Caillege. It is very clear thaut tile appoin iinent or that body is to be ma~de tby the State, not byV the Legislaiture ; for it it assumiies to be the State, it is a usuirpa ion. Now, whiat is the State, as recog niazed dand establishedi by the constitution oh t he Uiiited States ? Th'ie State oh South Curoliina is repiresenited inl the general guv ernmeint, in part, by its miembilers to the Illuse oif lIepresentatives, iaind the repiresentti on inl thlat hlouse is fixed by thle nlumbier of her inihiibutants, countliimg thlree :hi~ls of thie blaick pilopuationi.
