SPIRIT OF INSovAT1oN.-There is a
growing disposition on the part of few
restless politicians in our State, to plunge
her into the widest and most dangerous in
novatiot,s. Foiled, perhaps, in their efforts
to reach distinction through its legitimate
channels, but still entertaining some vague
and underlined ideas of personal aggrandize.
ment, they are willing to peril the prospects,
and jeopardize the dearest interest OF their
State, under the hope that amid the turbn-
lence and excitement which will ensuc, they
may be thrown upon some height far above
,h,.ir present elevation.
The apparent design Of these disorgani-
zers seems to be to restore to the dear peo'
pie for whom they are all at once most
unaccountably enamorcd their long lost
rights, by giving them direct vote i'll the
election Of Electors Of the President and
Vice President OF the Federal Union, and
"eqnaIizing," as they artfully torn it, ou'
present basis of representation.
But the careful observer cannot fail to
defect the flimsy artiGce, and to discover
beneath the deeper purpose Of attempting
to 70; ce the State into one of the two grea
parties which now distract the Union. Il
their only object was a bona Gds change
in the electoral system, we might per
haps be induced to consider the question
simply as matter of expediency, but whcl
we see the fell purpose Of disturbing thu
solemn compact entered into by the fathers
1 r g. a
petuate the integrity and unity Of the State
with the insidious design of attempting t'
seduce her from her cherished principles
strict adherence to State rights and Stat
polity-by holding within her grasp fedora
honors aud cmolumcnts, we are disposed t.
resist all innovations, and to invoke the ai'
OF the conservative Press throughou th
State, to nip at once, and in the bud, thi
paricida purpose.-Laurcnsville Herald.
