Our SPECIAL ELEeTIoN.--We entertained
hopes, that our neighbor Of the Democrat,
would, IN charity TO himself refrain from pro-
claiming the result of the special election. in
this county, as democratic victory. But
alas all human hopes are IN vain.
Win our neighbor be kind enough to inform
his readers, how far the vote in this election
fell short Of the vote in November; and vii
he be kind enough to inform them how many
wings voted for Mr.. Leake, because he is in
favor of repealng the liquor law. If he vii
give this much desired information, pefAap:
this readers may come to the conclusion, thai
both parties felt so much apathy on the subject
that no trial ofstrength was had.

info play TO perpetuate the rule Of a |
political party-the evil of making the |
President the chief of faction, instead
OF the head of the nation-of render |
ing him a selfish politician instead of
disinterested patriot. We hope
then that this necessary amendment of
tn Constitution will be set about al
once in good earnest and we would be
highly gratifed to see our own Legis-
lature take the initiatory step in so BEN
eiciaI a reform.
The limitation Of the Presidential
tenure to a single term would render
another reform absolutely essential
it would be necessary TO extend the
term beyond the period Of four years.
Under the four years system, our
country is even now, too frequently for
its good, convulsed with the perva-
ding and demoralizing excitement of
Presidential contest-before the waves
of one popular tumult subside, the bill
lows of another begin to swell, the
halcyon never broods on our troubled
waters, and the country is never in a
perfect calm-is stranger TO con-
EDITION of healthful repose. An extern
| ded Presidential term is in this view,
necessary, whether we limit the incum-
bent to a single term or not.-But il
we adobt that limit, ali extension of the
term will become requisite for Other
reasons. First, it will become neces-
sary, in justice to the President. Foul
years will be entirely too short peri
cd, he could not do justice to himsel
in the eyes of either his own genera

For the Arcns.


Mr.. EDITOR 1T is not my design in pre-
senting the name of citizen, as a suitable
individual to represent this State, in the Con-
gress of the United States, to pronounce an
elaborate eulogy upon his character.
1t is sufficient to say, that, he is a man Of
age, experience, of much political information
and the true unainching, the long-tried advo-
cate of that political creed, which adorns the
minds and warns the hearts of two thirds Of
the citizens of the south and southwest. Du-
ring the late, long and exciting conflict, many
a noisy politician, entered the arena with an
expectation of being promoted to some place
of honor or profit; yet, in the selection of a
representative, we should fuel ourselver under
no obligation to listen to their CLAIMS but
should look to some individual whose history
of observation, is the history of tins country,
whose mind is not moved to extravaganza by
youthful ambition, who was not one ofthe in
terested knights in the recent political tourna-
ment, who feels no other inducement to ele-
walton than his country's call. and no other OBJ
ject IN accepting place than his country's
GOOD whose avaricious desires have not urged
him into the vortex of wild speculation whose
hands have not been blackened, and whose
heart has not been corrupted by engaging in
the Banking traffic of this country.
If the Wing Convention should desire TO-
promote the interest Of this nation, if they
should act the part of true patriots at the sac
rifce Of sectional prejudice, party intrigue or
personal preference; we feel well assured
that. they can not pass unnoticed-that they
comet, indeed, find any man III this portion q
the State. who has more merit, and conse- |
quently more claims to their support 1aan

Presbyterian Church Case. The
law case between the Old and New
Schools, came up in Philadelphia this
week. The whole court, as is known
had some months ago ser aside the
opinion of JudgeRngers, and ordered
a new trial.--At the Court this week.
Judge Kennedy presiding, the Counsel
for theOld school moved that this case
should take precedence of all others;
but the New School Counsel opposed
the motion, on the glound that, it be-
ing unexpected, were not ready; and
the Court refused the motion, which
brought the case so low on Calender
that it will proabIy not be reached this
term.-N. Z. Jour. Of Com.
