We are glad TO see that the Eastern Cla-
ron takes ground againat the amendments
to the Constitution in relation TO Elections.
We think the press of the State should ge-
nerally speak out Surely radical change
in any one feature OF the organic law s a
matter of sufficient moment to call out the
sentiments Of public journalists.

mr. We arg in favor Of the proposed
amendments, first, because there are now
too many officers to be voted for at one
time and secondly, because we think II
would be best to separate the elections for
Judicial and County Offices, administrative
in their character, from those for State and
National Offices. At the election next
month, there are some hirtg-ihree offices to
be filed, and from among the multitude Of
aspirants, II is frequently mere chance if
the bost selections are made, where so ma
ny are to be choseni In no State Of The
Union are so many offices elective by the
people, and yet in no other State, we be-
leve, Is the election for all offices required
to come on at the the same time. The OBJ
jections TO the proposed amendment, Of the
expense of separate elections, and Of the
increased burthen upon the people in COM
polling them to turn out to the polls often
er than under the present arrangement,
appear to us so exceedingly trivial as scarce
to deserve consideration. We have seen
nothing else urged against the proposed
change. The small additional expense or
Inconvenience should not, and will not, be
thought of by the people, If, as we believe,
the change will tend to the improvement Of
our already excellent system of elections.

or The exploded hnmbug OF the culture
of cotton in the East Indies, is being re-
vamped and held up as a scare.crow to
our planters, by some OF the most unscru-
pulous wing tariff papers, The impractl-
cability OF the scheme has been over and
over again proven by indisputable facts,
and the test Of actual experiment. The
effort TO revive this dead bug-5ear, is We
rification of the old adage that drowning
men catch at straws," and is fit rather TO
excite mirth than to elicit serious reply
The wing papers, it seems TO us, in resort
ing to such expedients, treat their readers
as an minimizing set of dotss who never
exercise their memories as to things past,
always ready TO be guled by the REPETITION
of any fictitious pos,nlate, however oft or
amply refuted And the same will apply
to all the arguments (f they deserve such
title) relied upon to sustain the unjust,
unequal, oppressive system of'protection"
to particular pursuits.
