PRESIGENTEtt CANVASS,

OCR widespread country will soon become
thoroughly agitalcd b. that greatest of ell tcrres-
trial elec;ions-:he election of President and Vice.
President of this glorious Union" 1t is an
election which involves more powcr and patronage
than any other now known among men. Nor is
this remarl: an empty truism. /, conveys mean
ing wide and deep. 1t means that Il government
of seventy years growth has already oui.s,ripped
every predecessor. 1t means that North Ameri-
can Repubicanisln, willie securing freedom to the
individual, has been obliged at last to oncentrate
an amount Of influence in single man, not far
short Of the Monarcs strength Il means that
our civil institutions are becoming daily more cx.
posed TO the chances Of revelation or subveryion,
from the rapid increase Of strong temptation acting
directly upon The passions Of corrupt or ambitions
statesmen. 1t means that we are not far from
harlnga Russian Autocrat, with his ten thousand
parasites -cre!ing amidst the luxurious privileges
of this wealthy Western Republic 1t means
'much more-but we have indicated enough 10
show the overwhelming consequence of this great
election. 1t affects, more or less sensibly. the
rights and the happiness Of every American free
man. And the question occurs. 10 us as South
Carollnians, "shal We stand by in gloomy indif-
ference and suffer this important occasion to pass,
without cxerting what little strength we have 10
give it n turn favorable 20 Southern prospery:"
We incline decidedly to the opinion that such
course would be in direct violation of our duy to
ourselves and to the country. 1t is becoming bu,
too evident that the difficulties in the way of get.
ting out Of the Union are almost insuperablc. |
What dishonor then, or what Inconsistency even |
would there be in setting ourselves to work
for our redemption in the Union! If this be n |
correct principle, what matter, of greater impor-
tance than the election of President, can claim
our wa.chful attention at this time 1t seems TO
US to be but the part of wisdom to make the best
Of a 'hard case" And we are disposed to do SO
in the present instance. We trust then that if
South Carolina is to remain in this Union, she
will begin tocanvass this election with the res, of
ler sisters, and join such of them as are identified
With her by interest and position, in turning tho
,reat Presidential tide to the best purpose possible.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.

FLANK Roads have, thus far, been invariably
successful in every section of our country and
under every condition of things. Throughout the
North, they are beginning to be appreciated as
possessing some very important advantages over
Railroads In one instance at least. Road of
this kind is known to compete successfully with
both Railroad and Canal. 1t is the opinion
OF all practical men who have any acquaintance
with such subjects, that Plank Roads, if advan-
tngeously located, afford the besr paying invest
ment of the day. We nave ourself heard some
skiful calculators announce this as their belief
among the rest, the able chier.engineer of the
Greenvie and Columbia Rail- Road Mr.. GREGG's
authority ought also to be conclusive on such
matters, and he is Jealous advocate of the
Plank Road system. But TO our object
We desire to call the attention of the capitalists
OF EdgeGeld to the Plank Road now in progress
among US, commencing at Hamburg and to termi-
nate somewhere about Greenwood, in Abbeville
District. Some ten miles of this work is done and
is paying from twenty to forty per cent upon the
investment, more generally the latter figures being
correct. To carry it ont according to the charter
will be an easy malter, if men, who live upon the
route and have the money to spare, will only ex-
hibit their shrewdness and public spirit by becom
ing stockholders under said charter. 1t will not
only be an easy thing, bu. doubtless most prof.
table one. There is farless uncertainty and far
less risk in this investment than the builders of
The up-country Railroads are now encountering.
Bot an honorable pride and good nerve are carry
ing those works ON TO certain success Will the
aeople of Edgefield fail to grasp the only chance
sh taem to forward tksir prosperity!
