The Leather Inspector.

Gov PACKER has appointed JOHN K.
GAMBLE, Of Germantown, leather inspect
or for Philadelphia. This appointment is
an admirable one in every respect. Mr..
G. is most exemplary citizen, ard Is
greatly esteemed in the community where
be resides He was u delegate to the
Harrisburg Convention, and was the Only
representative from this district who voted
against Lcconptop, and thus truly repre-
seuted the sentiment of this great city -
The Press, (foyaey)
Very good. But our Ieighbor Of the
Aryus, on .he other hand, looks dagger.
at Mr.. Gamble, and utters the following
most sinister growl at Gov. Packer:
"ArroixrHESr.-GUver Packer, has ap-
pointed John X. Gamble Of Germantown, a
Morocco dresser! To the Office Of Leather
Inspector, Perhaps the Governor feels IIch
enough since the passage of the Sunbury and
Enc bill, 10 indulge in morocco boots, and
does not realize the necessity Of an Inspector
for leather OF coaser SORT"
Now as We wish to "kecp peace in the
family" we otf.r the :ollowins most dis
interested remarks: a party, like a man,
has not oaIy head, but it must have also
Il stomach aud other inferior organs. We
advise, therefore, that the fine accomplish
cd morocco gentleman be retained iu his
present post to Indicate the well known
fact that the brains, the intellect Of the
party are dead against LecOmpton ont
let some thick. headed Lecompton man 10

indicate that the stomach Of the party

coJ sAia-go with buchanan, aud for the
Lecompton swindle. Now,as Paddy said,
this wud be fair and a;qnal." The hun
cry stomach which was SO ably represent

ilk at the Harrisburg Convention would

And at the same time the brains Of the
prrty, embracing such men as Douglas.
Fosuey, Montgomery, with our neighbors
Billmyer, Frick, and many others, would
be represented in the State appointments
By Mr. Inspector Gamble. But we warn
Gov. Packer, that, whatever else he may
neglect, he must not neglect to throw some
bones into the Boa.C Constructor stomach Of
the LecomptOn Democracy. True, they
are mentally as well as numerically in.ig-
niti;ant; but their capacity for food is
enormous. Besides, as Mr.. Gamble is a
Free S5ilsr, We don't see how any Lecomp-
,onite can object to his inspecting all the

The Anpeal.

In Justice to Col. uAYNE, VIC have trans
ferrcd to our first page his appeal to his "fel-
low-citizcns of the State of South Carolina"
in relation to his recent remarks in tho Sen
ate. Aftcrrcading it carefully, we have been
unable to see wherein his explanation ex-
plains itself. lie still maintains that the
Bank of the State of South Carolina partakcs
of the character Of a political bank, subject
to no responsibility" This statement is in
correct. The bank is under the supervision
of the Legislature, and is subject to be sued,
either at law or equity, and is not therefore,
without responsibility. Mr. HAYNES oppose
tion to the bank, rs connected with the State,
is part of the discussion with which we
have nothing to do now, but perhaps it is n
sufficient excuse for him to give to IAN adj
niring world" his opinion and views on the
intricate relations ofbank and State. Aside
from what he said on the subject of the banks
his remarks were incorrect absurd, and al
together unworthy tho place and OCCASION
As we have snid before, for Col. IIAYNE per
sonally wo have the profoundest respect and
regard but, as United States Senator, we
cln sec nothing in hm to commend. On the
contrary, much is said and done that it is our
duty to rebukc, and we trust we may always
have the moral courage to discharge our du-
ty to the public in such respects. We hope,
however, we arc done with the honorable gen
tlcman and his unfortunate blundcrs for all
time to como.

At Home.

Col. ORR returned from Washington to his
home, in Anderson, last week. lie made us
a hasty visit on Friday last, connected with
his professional services in suit pending
here in the Court of Equity. His constitu-
ents will be pleased to learn that he is in the
enjoyment of good health, and is looking re-
markably well for one who has been dischara-
ing the trying and arduous duties of Speaker
of the House of Representatives for the last
six months.
Col, Oars position which, in Importance
and influence is really the second ono in the
government, is exceedingly laborious, and
much of his time is necessarily consumed in
dispensing the usual courtesies and civilitics
of life in Washington We merely mention
this fact, to show that where his constituents
have not been remembered by him as usual,
that n necessity, not mere pretcxt, has been
the ruling cause.
AS Representative, not one in the coun-
try has discharged his duty with more ability,
efficiency or faithfulness and his position
at this time, as public man, is surrounded
with more hattering prospects than that of
one in the Union.

Are you in favor Of tho completion of the

p,rtant enterprise
conccde it to bc the right of the people to

request in this instance.
am and have ever been warm advocate
of the Blue Ridge Railroad enterprise, salts
fled that the completion Of this road would
contribute greatly to the interest and pros
pcrity of Pickens District--opcning markets
within her borders for tho sale of her produce
and facilities for its transportation to every
market town in the State. AND not only
Pickcns District but every portion of South
Carolina, will be moro or less benefited by
the cOnsummation of so grand an enterprise.
Hence, if elected, will vote for further State
aid for the early and successful completion of
this Road. Other Districts have prayed and
secured aid from the State, to build roads
running through their borders, and why
should not Pickcns District come in and claim
her proportionablc share of the public fund,
which has been 80 lavishy distributed and ap.
propriated by our Legislature to Roads in
the other Districts while We have a road OF
our own to build-at least Road in common
with tho State, and from which Pickcns Dis.
trict must derive as great if not greater advan-
tagcs than any other portion ofSouth Carolina
1t seems to me tho people of Pickcns Dis
trict would be blind to their own interest to
it unnecessary to assign my reasons i'll full
for favoring the enterprise, conceiving tho
same reasons which have to be entertained
by every intelligent citizen of this District.
