CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
~ AUGUSTA.
Wednesday Evening. March 22,1837.
William H. Roane, a cousin ofThomas Ritchie
lias been elected Senator to Congress from Vir
ginia, in the room of Richard Parker, brother-in
law to Thomas Ritchie. Mr. Parker was elected
Senator a few weeks ago, but not liking the situa
tion entirely, resigned and was elected Judge of
the General Court of Virginia, arid about the same
I) time Mr. Nicholas another cousin or brother-in
law of Mr. Ritchie was also elected Judge. We
inertly mention this family affair for the purpose
of letting our readers understand that editors
sometimes got to be men of consequence. Mr
Ritchie is right, perfectly right, in having the
c laims of his kin first satisfied.
We find in (he Richmond Enquirer the pros
pectus of a now literary-political periodical to be
published at Washington City. It is to be de
voted jointly to literature and to the promulga
tion and support of the democratic doctrines.
The editors lug into their prospectus a recoin
mendalion from Gen. Jackson, he being the
great apostle and prophet of modern democracy—
this was done to ensure its reception with the
democrats. We wonder whether it will maintain
the charter-breaking doctrine? If so, we recom
menff it to the editors of the Constitutionalist and
Standard of Union as a proper conduator for dis
charging a portion of the democratic fire with
which they ate sur-charged upon that subject.
THE PARTIZAN LEADER ;
A Talc of the Future, by Edwaud Wm. Sid
nkt. In two volumes.
From the character which preceded this extra
ordinary work, we have seldom, if ever, taken up
one with deeper interest, which was excited still
more by the late period of its arrival here—attri
butable, as we learn from Messrs, RtciiAnns &
Stoy, (who, as usual, have been indefatigable in
their efforts to meet the wishes and expectations
of the public,) t) extraordinary delay in the trans
mission, as it was forwarded them at the earliest
moment, and should have been received in No
vember last.—Our excited anticipations, general
ly so unfavorable to a fair judgement, have not
been disappointed ; though, by the bye, we have
read with too much interest, eagerness, and haste,
for anything like criticism, or at least, verbal cri
f‘ ticism ; but if we may judge from that interest—
I and certainly it is no bad criterion for a tale of
H fiction—it is a work of no ordinary power and
ability, and certainly from a master hand, or at
ff: least, a master mind 1 rich in the gifts of a bril
’ liant fancy, fertile imagination, and glowing clo
ys quence; with much knowledge of the human
V heart, fervid patriotism, and intimate acquaintance
with the public men and affairs of the country.
Its characters arc drawn to the very life, and
many of its incident, beautifully, eloquently de
picted, and deeply affecting. What can be more
„ bo than Douglas Trevor’s noble and generous dc
h fence of his cousin Delia, with all its immediate
results?—what more touching, than his fathers
- letter of advice to consult his uncle ? Or what
can be more graphic and striking, than Arthur
Trevor's first interview with Witt, and Schwartz
or the camp scene, in the mountains, the skir
mish at Jones’s Ford, the subsequent battle there
&c. &c. ? But we must read the work again,
for we have been so completely led away from all
[ thought of criticism, by its general and often thril
ling interest, that we arc wholly unprepared to
speak of it impartially, in detail; and arc inclined
to think there are few, who read it, but what will
I be, like us, unsatisfied by a single perusal. We
will endeavor to give one or two extracts from it
I hereafter.

I rived at this port last evening from St. Augustine.
I We learn from Capt. S. that a few moments be-
I for# he left, an express arrived fiom Picolata, da-

I that the Indians attacked that place the evening
I previous, and were beaten off, the bugle was

The notorious Andrew Cue, captured!
This Negro, belonging to Col. Guo of this city
K who ranaway from his master in Juno last, was
■ captured on Thursday morning at 4A. M., by a
■ detachment of six men, under Lieut. John Ferei
■ ra, of Capt. Hanson’s company of Mounted Vol
■ unteers. Andrew is a young negro, not excecd
■ ing 21 years of age, and active and enterprising.
I He went off and joined the Indians, and alter be
■ ing with them some weeks he returned clandcs-
I finely to town, and held a meeting with some of
I his friends and enticed some of them off. At
I this time, he stated, that he had become high in
I the confidence of the Indians, and he only want
■ cd a while man’s scalp to make him a great man.
I On several occasions since, he has made his ap
-9 pcarance in the vicinity, and was with the gang
■ of negroes when Capt. Hanson killed John Caj
■ sar, at which time he received three wounds.
I He says he bled considerably; until his strength
■ was almost gone, and since that time he has not
I seen or spoken to any person whatever, lie has
I remained in the neighborhood of the place he
■ was wounded, subsisting on roots, &c., until he
I was induced from hunger to come to our neigh
■ borhood for provision, and which resulted in his
I capture. Andrew is in prison. We have not
■ seen him. We understand he gives the details
■ of a plot which was formed by the Indians and
I Negroes, to attack and burn the town. So many
■ reports and stories are in circulation as to what
■ he says, it is difficult to believe them, and we will
■ not repeat them. An Express arrived herefrom
■ (fen. Jesup this morning, bringing despatches as
I late as the 12th of March. We understand he
I Is not so sanguine as to the result of the treaty,
■ lately entered into with the Chiefs,as the letters
■ published in our last. He expressed doubts as
I in the ability of the Chiefs to govern their pco

From the N. 1. Courier $ Enquirer, March 13.
The Failures in ST. Orleans and Ihoir
Consequences.
We gave in our columns yesterday morning,
the particulars ot the failure of several of the
largest houses in New Orleans, and the fact that
a large house in this city was implicated in their
transactions to a very large amount, suppressing,
however, the name of the house in this city. The
house referred to, was that of Messrs. J. L. & S.
Joseph & Co.; and at an early hour they called
together a number of our most prominent mer
chants and others, before whom they placed an ac
count of their liab. lilies, and their means of meet
ing them.
It appeared by this statement, that they had
accepted for the houses of Herman II Son, Her
man SI Hriggs, and Thomas Barrett SI Co. all
of whom by the last advices had suspended pay
ment, to the amount of §2,050,000, and thalthey
had forwarded to them upwards of §400,000 of
assets —making the total of their liabilities with
the houses in question, about §2,500,000. They
also showed by their balance sheet, that on the Isi
Jan. the house was worth nearly a million of dol
lars. On this representation, Mr. Copperlhwail,
assistant Cashier of the Bank of the United States
who had come on for that purpose, offered in
behalt of that institution, the loan of one million
of dollars, on condition that the Banks in this
city would advance on their part, sufficient to car
ry the house through its embarrassments. It was
obvious to all, that if the houses in New Or
leans had not suspended payment, or if they
should be enabled to resume by the aid of the
Banks in that city, the House of Joseph A Co.
would not require any aid; and after mature de
liberation, the gentlemen present advised them
to suspend until Monday, or until mote favorable
information should be received from N. Orleans.
This advice was adopted by the Messrs. Joseph,
and immediately made known to the immense
concourse of merchants in the street, who were
anxiously awaiting the result of the consultation.
It has never fallen to our lot to witness such a
genetal panic as existed in the city during the
whole of the day ; and although there was oer
tainly some cause for apprehension in consequence
of the extended operations of the,House of Messrs
Joseph and the influence which their failure and
the failures in New Orleans might have on those
connected with them ; yet we must be permitted
to say, that the alarm was far greater than was
warranted by the facts of the case. It is admit
ted by all that the three houses in N. Orleans taken
collectively—and they are in fact all so united as
to make them one concern—are solvent to the
amount of millions.—Then again, their drafts
which have been accepted by the Messrs. Joseph
& Co., ate the property of the New Orleans
Banks who had discounted and sent them here
for collection and those very Banks are princi
pally owned by the paitners in the embarrassed
Houses. Under all these circumstances, there
should be but little alarm for the ultimate payment
of all their liabilities even if they should not re
sume payment, while the probability is certainly
very much in favor of the supposition, that the
New Oilcans Houses will be enabled to resume
pay incut immediately through the aid of the banks
in that city.
Yet even palling the very worst complexion
on the whole matter, but very few houses in this
city, would be compelled to stop in consequence
of the failure of the houses in New Orleans, and
the Messrs. Joseph here ; and it does not become
a community like this to give way to a panic on
the first appearance of disaster. Our merchants
have suffered much, and uselessly and wickedly
been made to sulfur by the maladministration of
the affairs of the Government; but notwithstand
ing this, their resources arc not exhausted, and
taken as a body, they arc not only accustomed
calmly to look danger in the face, but un
shrinkingly to meet it. We call upon them,
then, not to suffer themselves to anticipate evils
which we fondly believe arc not in store for them;
but as they have repeatedly done before, stand
shoulder to shoulder, and firmly meet and triumph
over every opposing obstacle. The time has gone
by when the failure of any house, or any dozen
houses, can give reasonable cause for a general
panic.
P. S. The Express Mail which arrived a', half
past three o’clock, yesterday .brought to the Messrs.
J. L. & S. Joseph & Co. the following letter:
New Ouleans, Marcli 9, 1837.
Mossrs.'J- L & S, Joseph & Co.
Dear Sirs —We addressed you on the 7rh inst
in relation to the affairs of Hermann, Briggs &
Co. Since then their matters have taken several
different turns, and at last by the proposilion of
yesterday, promise an early and a satisfactory
adjustment, of which there is scarcely a doubt, as
the points of the arrangement, in a measure, came
from the banks themselves.
Our time being all taken up in endeavoring to
effect those arrangements, leave us no leisure for
any other object, and as a consequence, our ad
vices must bo short. Suffice it, however, now to
say, that Reynolds, Marshall & Byrne make a
new house both here and in Natchez, for the li
quidation of the affairs of Hermann, Briggs, &
Co., and to the which their whole fortunes will
be carried—certainly not less than three millions
of dollars —and in the course of to-day, or to
morrow, all the Banks will certainty come into
the measure, giving the parlies 9,12, 15, 18,21
[ and 24 months for the payment of their debts, —
their northern liabilities to be arranged for fust
but the manner is not fixed. Our position with
the House in question has so much impaired our
credit as seriously to affect our negotiations,
which wore our only reliance for a while to place
’ you in funds for our maturities; but the very
> moment their business is settled, we will remit
you the whole amount of our debt in some shape
- or other, acceptable, wo trust, to all the parlies
- concerned.
In the mean time, do not if you can possibly
. avoid it, suspend your payments, as you will nei
■ ther lose by the parlies, nor be placed under cash
- advances many days after this reaches you.
f Yesterday morning six of the banks had agreed
t to the proposed measure, and we have this mo
i ment learnt that two more, whose boards have
• just met, have also come in.
. Yours, truly,
THOMAS BARRETT & CO.
; The following is an extract of a Letter from
• Allen Clark Si Co. to S. M. Allen SI Co. in
■ this city, dated New Orleans March 9th.
i “ Negotiations arc still going on with regard to
. Hermann, Briggs & Co. It is now proposed
5 that the old palners form a new House, settle up
: the old concern, and bring their private fortunes
5 in to take up all the bills drawn on the north
■ by drawing on the house here, at 9, 12, 15, 18,
s 21 and 24 months. Most of the banks have come
t into the measures, and the matter will be settled
s to-day.” . .
I These letters were confirmed, in all their im
t portant particulars, by numerous communications
t from other houses in New Orleans to this ciiy ;
I in consequence of which the Messrs. Joseph SI
i Co. caused it to be announced on our Bulletin,
s that they would resume their payments this day.
e Subsequently, however, the gentlemen who had
, been called to a consultation upon their affairs in
i the morning of yesterday, and under whose ad
s visement they hnd determined to suspend their
- paymenls until Monday, recommended, that inas-
J much as the Messrs. JusF.rn had not received any
- remittance, and as there was a possibility of the
i arrangements alluded to, not having been carried
- into effect, it was more advisable, under all the
, circumstances of the case, to defer a resumpt on
s oftheir paymenls until further and more definitive
e advices should be received from New Orleans.
, Under these circumstances,howevot de.-ir.nis
f the Messrs. Josephs & Co. were of resuming their
- payments, it become their duly to act in accor
dance with the advice of their friends, and in con
sequence, their payments will not be resumed un
til their advices from New Orleans are of such a
1 decisive character, as shall warrant their friends
■ hero, to recommend such a course.
, There can be no doubt but the Express Mail
this evening or to-morrow, will bring accounts
of the final determination of the New Orleans
Banks in relation to the houses which have sus
pended ; and there appears? to be as little doubt
among those who are most qualified to give an
opinion on the subject, that the result of their
deliberations will be favorable to the very respec
table Houses which have so unexpectedly been
compelled to suspend their payments. Should
this be the case, it is unnecessary to add, that the
house of J. L. & S. Joseph & Co. will immedi
ately resume their payments without finding it
necessary to ask for aid from any quarter—which
result to their present embarrassment, will afford
universal satisfaction, separate from the general
interest which alt have in the solvency of a house
so extensively connected with the commercial
transactions of our city.
Fron the New York Commercial Ado. March 18.
VERY LATE FROM BERMUDA.
By the brig Eliza Bermuda, we have files of
the Royal Gazelle to the 7th of March inclusive.
• The Eliza brought a number of passengers, who
were on board the Enchantress, lost oll’Bermuda.
These emigrants wore in great distress on
their arrival at that place, and prompt measures
were taken for their relief. Sir Stephen Chap
man, the governor of the island, advanced from
his privy purse, a sum sufficient to carry them
to their place of destination.
The imports at Bermuda in the year ending
January sth 1837, were to the value 0f£155,586
sterling; of which £69,192 were from Great Bri
tain, and £37,137 from.tho United States.
The exports were only £27,262, of which £14,-
501 were to Great Biitain, and £2,830 to the U
nited Slates.
Os vessels entered 10 were from Great Britain,
62 from British colonies, and 48 from the United
States. Os vessels sailed 9 fir great Britain, 08
for British colonies and 49 for the United States.
On Sunday, the sth, Bermuda was visited
with a terrific gale, which, it is said, surpassed
any thing of the kind ever seen in the lower is
lands. The roofs were blown from many hous
es, and several small crafts were sunk. The brig
Walsingham was ready for sea—she was driven
from her anchorage upon a small island, and be
came a perfect wreck. The London Packet lost
her foremast, and was otherwise damaged. The
ship Hampshire parted all her shore fasts. The
American schooner Lucy and Margaret drove
from her moorings—both were driven ashore on
Hon. Island. A ship’s boat, bottom painted
white, with a quantity of boards and shingles,
drifted down the North side, on the Clh. An
other ship, bound to New York, had been driven
ashore, but was got off, and had arrived ot St.
George’s—sec details under the marine head.
From the same.
NEW GRANADA.
The Bermuda papers furnish later advices
from Carlhagena, in extracts from the Jamaica
papers, the British brig of war Wasp having ar
rived at Kingston on the 2d of February. Mr.
Russell, about whom the difficulty with Great
Britain arose, was a passenger in the Wasp.
The remuneration required for him—§sooo was
paid, the judges and magistrates concerned in
Ills sentence were dismissed, and the apology de
manded was made to the Briti.-h flag.
Shortly after the commencement of the block
, ade, two French vessels of war arrived oft’Canha
, gena, to look after the property arid safety of
French subjects. Five small vessels loaded with
I flour were sloped by the frigate Madagascar, and
the inhabitants were reduced to great distress.
The French Admiral supplied the respectable
families every morning with bread from his own
ship.
The Jamaica Conservative says that President
Santander went on board the English commo
dore’s ship, to negotiate for an adjustment of the
quarrel but that Commodore Peyton asked him
if be was authorized to give up Mr. Russell, and
being answered “ no,” told him to get into his
boat and go on shore, adding that his orders
were only to blockade, but that if a gun was fired
he would blow the town to pieces. It is stated,
that the President and the commodore took a
drink together before parting. We suspect this
story to bo altogether apocryphal.
The blockade was of course at an end, and the
ships had returned to thoir West India stations}
Mr. Russell had sailed for England in the Wasp,
PHILADELPHIA, MARCH 14.
The Atlantic coast is all alive to the subject of
Telegraphs, since the disasters of the late winter
many of which could have been prevented by
their existence. We understand, that Mr. John
R. Parker, the enterprising proprietor of the Bos
, ton Telegraph, has been applied to, to establish
Semaphoric Telegraphs at Nantucket, to commu
nicate with Tuchunuchlsle, thence to Edgartown,
Holmes’ Hole, Tarpaulin Cove, and New-Bed
ford, whence they will, no doubt, afterwards be
extended to Boston.

SPEECHES OF MESSRS. CALHOUN AND
PRESTON.
We hoped to be furnished by the Committee
of Arrangements with copies or notes of the
Speeches of our ’Senalors at tho dinner of the
17th, but have been disappointed by the early de
parture of both Mr. Calhoun and Col. Preston.
Wc hope, however, that they will gratify the
general desire to see their Speeches in print. In
the mean time, we offer from memory the follow
inh sketches, of course to a great degree imper
fect.
In responding to the second toast.
Mr. Calhoun addressed the meeting, and after
some introductory remarks, pertinent to the occa
sion, proceeded to give a perspicuous and rap'd
sketch of that series of corrupt measures, by which
the Government of tho United States had arrived
at its present height of disorder and iniquity. He
dwelt upon the removal of the Dcposites, by which
the whole treasure of the nation came under the
control of the Executive, to be employed, as it was
employed, in corrupting the Press, and buying
the people. He showed that tho vast speculations
in public Lands, the mad outpouring of the East
into the West, the feverish eagerness of our capi
talists to chalk out Ronicsand Londons, on every
brook in the vale of the Mississippi, originated in
the depositing great sums of the public money in
the Western Banks - and consequently, that the
surplus Revenue; against which tho late Presi
dent and his parly exclaimed so furiously, was
tho direct effect of Jackson’s own favorite mea
sures: Ho remarked upon the Compromise Act,
that its object was not lo exterminate the rriami
factu es of the North but lo deliver the South
from a system of unequal and unjust taxation—
to confer a great good, with the least possible evil.
He fully exculpated the manufacturing interest
from any share in the late attempt to shake the
compromise—bo said that attempt was the woik
of politicians alone, with the purpose of rc-em
broiling the North and South—he showed the
necessity of that act—the completeness of its final
operation, lo reduce the Revenue to the wants of
Government, and in the meantime, the nccessily
of distributing the surplus among the Stales, lo
whom it belonged. He pointed out the motives
of the dominant party, in opposing the distribu
tion, and showed, that in spite of their momenta
ry and miserable triumph, the measure would yet
prevail—interest, patriotism, and every good
principle, he said, would unite lo carry it into
»Tect.
He alluded to Mr. Walker’s Land Bill, by
which was attempted lo be introduced and legal
ized, more than t''e present mischiefs of Western
speculation and Executive patronage.
After having given a tiue and unvarnished pic
ture of tho present disorders, he proceeded to ex
press a st ong confidence in the ultimate triumph
of the good o' ct the cm! —the Reform of the Go- 1
r vernment and the restoration of the Constitution.
- He said he saw his way through the present con
- fusion —the Distribution measure would prevail
- —he believed that tho Public Lands would be
i given up lo the Slates—the Administration must
s yield to those measures or fall before them. Ho
had the strongest assurance that the Government
I would be reformed and that Reform must come
i from the South—the North never had, and in na
i lure of things could not reform tho Government;
■ the South hod never united for Reform without
t effecting it—there had been but two Administra
i tions of four years —the two Adams’ had both
r been swept out of power by the union of the
• South—the present incumbent was iminausura
i bly inferior lo either of them in talent and dignity
1 of character—he had none of the despotic popu
i larlly of his immediate predecessor, that he lacked
his audacity, his promptitude, his inflexibility—
b all those striking and stern qualities which had
i conducted the latter through his astonishing ca
-1 rcer of usurpation—Van Buicn must stand by
I conciliation—if he failed in that ho was ruined,
■ Ho then alluded to abolition—he considered it
I the mightiest evil that had ever threatened our
Government, and the only cause now in opera
tion sufficiently powerful to effect a dissolution of
the Union—he believed the great body of tho
. Northern people to be sound on this question ;
but we must remember that the Northern Slates
■ were themselves divided upon great principles,
1 full of parties, and agitated with sharp and ab
• sorbing controversies—all their local interests lay
between us and_cut oil’ or chilled their sympathy
1 with the South—the Abolitionists were strong,
active, uneomptoniising—their support was an
object of sufficient importance lo enfore the silence
—in many cases to buy the voices of those who
wished us well—wc could not depend upon the
North—we could not depend upon the Govern
ment—we could only depend upon ourselves. He
left it to the people of tho South to determine the
time and mode of action on this momentous sub
ject, but it was his opinion that to be successful,
it must bo prompt, energetic, and universal.
He spoke of Texas, and at that name was in
terrupted with long and loud cheering, and his
concluding words on that topic, pronounced with
deep emotion, that “Texas must be annexed to
the Union!" wete answered with a universal
burst of applause that showed hosv glowing was
the sympatay ol the people of South Carolina
with the heroes of San Jacinto. He pointed out
clearly the vital importance lo the South of tho
annexation, and after a few other remarks, con
cluded, amid great cheering with a toast, which,
owing to his early departure from Charleston, we
are sorry to say, wo could not obtain.
MR, PRESTON’S SPEECH.
Mr. Preston made a warm and graceful reply
to the sentiment drank in his honor. Ho said, at
any time, and under any circumstances, lo be re
ceived with such lively and strong marks of re
gard by his fellow citizens, would excite his warm
est gratitude, and form his proudest liappinc-s.
It was peculiarly gratifying at the present time—
they had been engage! in a desperate struggle
for the poor remains of a mangled Constitution ;
day after day during the last Session, they had
sat in their seats and seen an infuriate and ruf
, fian majority, trample ruthlessly on the best in
terests of tbc country, to gratify private ambi
tion or party madness—they had witnessed
scenes to make the heart of the patriot dio with
in him—they had at times been almost disposed
to think they were forgotten at home—the recep
tion of the evening had thrown from his heart a
load that had weighed heavily on it during the
unsuccessful opposition they had made to a ma
jority determined to triumph, even if it wore over
honor and decency—at every stop they had been
. defeated, their voices unheeded, their remon-
C stranccs despised—still they had kept lo the
, post which South Carolina had assigned them;
j they had sat in their seats, when by the pale
glimmering of midnight lamps, that desperate
j majority clustered together to glut their venge
, ance upon the honor of the Senate, by defacing
its records ; while many senators tied with hor
t ror from the scene of iniquity, they wavered not
from the stern mandates of their duty; and
. though the blood swelled in their temples, and a
, mist at times came over their sight, they looked
I on and saw the hangman Secretary draw the
, foul lines over the records and blot out the honor
, and independence of the Senate.
I Ho was in the House when it was supposed a
member had presented a petition from slaves.
| Never should he forgot that scene, ho rushed in
. voluntarily and unconsciously into the midst of
the crowd that tho phrenzy of the moment had
, uvvcp together, he left that the long dreaded cri
s sis had at length hurst upon them, that the Un
-1 ion was dissolved, that the bright quiet of peace
had been suddenly put out in the blackness of
fierce and deadly contention. Next morning
f that pari of the House whore the Southern mem
bers sat was empty, not a seat in it was occupied.
The other side was filled with an amazed and
i anxious assembly. The motion of tho South
■ had come like a thunder-stroke upon them, and
l they felt the depth of the difficulty into which
■ they had plunged. Then was to be seen.contin
, ued the Orator, the fatal effects of Southern di
■ visions. Had tho Southern members confirmed
! firm for two hours, the North would herself have
done, us justice and given us a pledge of lasting
security ; but they looked round upon eacb olh
, er, and gathering up the scattered embers of do
mestic party, forgot that they were Southern
, statesmen —they dropped away by one and two
’ into their scats, and left the great question where
| they found it.
This question of Abolition, Mr. Preston said,
bo regarded apart from an! totally disconnected,
with every other. Here lie felt only that he was
a Southern man, and he claimed the South as his
party. WE MUST UNITE! And wo mis
took the Abolitionists if we expected to crush
them by addressing to them, motives of fear. He
had seen them in the furtherance of their object,
pour out money like water, and he believed they
were ready, if the occasion called for it, lo pour
out blood like water. Fanaticism knew no fear.
He then proceeded to comment in a strain of
inimitable wit upon the change of Administra
tion—the old lion, lie said, had gone off roaring,
and his successor had come creeping into his
place. Would that you had been there, fellow
citizens, to have marked with what quaking awe
the vermin of the palace peeped forth from their
corners to watch the departure of the mighty
beast, dreading each moment lest he should turn
and scorch them with bis hot breath, or sweep
them off with a blast of his throat ; and when
the last footfall ol the ictiring monster faded in
distance, how they drew a long breath, rose on
their hind feet, and scampered away in flocks to
celebrate the Saturnalia of liberated slaves. You
would have seen, continued ho, that the reign of
terror was at an end, and that the dynasty
ofanother, and far different animal, was lo suc
ceed—under the new state of things, the South
has (hr less to fear from the court quarter —the
Ex-president was a man of violent passions, of
indomitable will, of hot resentment and animosi
ties. When he took his stand, lie kept it, though
tho Constitution and the Union should crumble
into wreck around him—ho was ready for war
to the knife to gratify every caprice—what lie di
rected was done, the man whom he denounced
was excommunicated from the congregation of
tho faithful—but the most striking characteristic
of his successor was limberness —he must go
with the aurrenl—he could notmake.il:—some
indeed who had seen him come puffing on the
breeze had mistaken him for the demon of the
storm—he was only the chaff before it —he was
not the man to moke and unmake—to setup and
pull down at his pleasure, to issue proclamations,
to browbeat Congress,—to send insulting letters
and smother unsavory laws in his breeches pock
et:—it would indeed be the height oflho rid.cu
lous for Mr. Van Burcn lo thrust his lamb-Uko
carcase into the skin of the dead .ion, and attempt
lo look terrible. Why he would toar you like ,
any “sucking dove!” lie must be polite, cautious
and conciliating—he must obtain as « servant
what his political father commanded as a ina-ler
—he knows full well that the union of the t'oirth 1
would bo fatal lo him—hence his anxiety in his
inaugural lo sol us at rest on the only question
that was certain to unite Us —but ho had not
promised to follow tbo principles of his predeces
sor, and as the groat principle of the laic Adminis
tration was an utter contempt of all the pledges
given to the country, we had a right to expect
that the copy would in this part bear the strong
est resemblance lo the original. What then was
the position ol South Caiolina ? confined Mr.
Preston. The now administration had themselves
decided it—they came in as a Jackson Adminis
tration—they gloried in being called by the name
and wearing the livery—it was but a fresh batch
of politicians struck out by New York machinery
liketenpenny nails 1 But they asked us to wail
and try them—had wc not tried them for the last
eight years? Should we tty them again ? God
forbid 1 Let them buy and sell those who were
in file shambles—South Carolina had no price.
Their aim was to prevent union here, to l#ep
awake sectional jealousies, to shower gifts and
honors—to make golden promises to all, to tickle
the North with one side of the shell and the South
with the other, while the little animal at the cen
tre runs off with the oyster.
Mr. Preston then spoke iff a strain of impres
sive eloquence on the splendid prospect which
the aunxeation of Texas to tho Union offered to
tho South ; but we cannot attempt oven to sketch
this part of his speech. In truth the absorbed al
ien .ion of the gue-ls, their countenances chang
ing with every change in the theme and tone of
the orator, the repealed bursts of acclamation, the
very walls that shook with each emotion of the
throng—these were the only true reporter of the
eloquence of that memorable night.
From tho Mercury.
Dinner to t!:e Ccrollna Senators.
On tho arrival of those distinguished men in
our city on Monday the 13th, it was immediate
ly decided to give them an evidence ol the esteem
and admiration which in they are held, by invit
ting them to a public entertainment. According
ly, on the day following, a number of our citi
zens assembled at the City Hall, and called Gen.
Hayno to the Chair; when Col. Lynoh, after of
fering some icsolutions which were unanimously
adopted, was appointed by tho Chair with six
other gentlemen a committee to wait on Mr. Cal
houn and Col. Preston, and tender to them on
behalf of tho meeting an invitation to meet their
fellow citizens at dinner. The invitation having
been accepted, preparations wero immediately
made to anange the best eiiteitainmcnt that the
very short interval between Tuesday and Thurs
day would allow.
Our enterprising and energetic townsman A.
Stewart of the Carolina Hotel, on being applied
to by the Committee to provide tho dinner, with
great alacrity promised to serve up a good one;
nor did he disappoint expectation.
On Mandny at 4 o’clock, a large number of
our must intelligent and respectable citizens weie
seen gathering, and passing through tho entrance
into the Hotel, uml thence into one of Mr. Stew
art’s new Saloons at half past (our. Tho Hon
orable Senators were conducted lo tho apart
ment by tlio Chairman of the committee of ar
rangements, where they received the salutations
of their countrymen, with that easy urbanity for
which both of them are so conspicuous. We
are happy to say, that hoik of them appeared in
excellent health, notwithstanding a session ami
climate at Washington of file must trying char
acter.
Dinner being announced at 6 o’clock, tho as
semblage was organized by tho Chaiman of the
Committee of arrangements, and at the sound of
music, moved towards the dinner room. Gener
al Hayne look tho Chair at the head of the table,
as President of the day. The Honorable Henry
Deas assisted as first Vic-Prcsident, and Col.
Thomas Pickney as second.
It was a gratifying spolacle. On cither side of
the President, sat the eloquent eons of Carolina,
and on the right and left of them our enlightened
Chancellors, with the exception of the venerable
Dcssuusuro, who we regretted lo hear, was hin
dered by indisposition from being pscsent.(n) A
bout two hundred gentlemen, including the Hon.
Mr. Grayson, of Beaufort, and a few invited
guests, sat down to three long parallel tables. On
no occasion, in an assembly of the same kind,
brought together too, in haste, have we ever seen
a more accomplished or intellectual number of
Carolina gentlemen, and the demeanor of the
company during the whole evening was precise
ly what it should have been. After the cloth was
drawn end the hall cleared of servants and all the
implements of confusion, Col. Lytiali, Chairman
of tho Committee of Arrangements, rose and in a
few brief and emphatic words enjoined order and
silence while the Officers of tho day were an
nouncing the Toasts prepared far tho occasion.
As soon as ho resumed his seat, General Hayne
stoaod up, and delivered (he following sentiment,
which went home to the hearts of all, and pro
duced an enthusiasm of feeling, that proved it
had struck the right chord.
South Carolina —The venerable Mother of
usall. Rich in her productions—richer in her
civil and political instilutions—but richest in
the virtue and devoted affection of her children.
The fine Band of Mnsic then struck up, and
poured into the Haloon the full volume of a
beautiful air. When silence again was restored,
the President rose, prefaced the following senti
ment in honor of Mr. Calhoun, with a few of
those pertinent and feeling remarks which la
ways flow so readily from his lips.
John C. Calhoun. While Carolina is justly
proud of his high talents and excellent character,
his heroic efforts to reform tho Govcrment—re
store tho Constitution—support our Institutions,
—and thereby preserve the public Liberty, and
establish a perpetual Union among the States ;
entitle him to the admiration and gratitude of the
whole country.
The most enthusiastic and long continued
cheering was returned by the company to this just
and noble sentiment, and Mr. Calbonn vtood up
to speak under the influence of feelings deeply
and sensibly affected, and at the close of bis mas
terly and powerful speech, the venerable and pat
riotic Henry Dras rose, and impressively pronoun
ced the following sentiment in com pliment to
Col. Preston:
Our distinguished Guest, William Campbell
Preston.—He has ably and eloquently vindicated
and maintained Southern Rights and Southern
Institutions, and triumphantly sustained the hon
or of our State. We greet him with a hearty
well done.
This gifted, high-minded, and eloquent man,
rose amidst the most deafening and repeated ac
clamations, ni.d pronounced a harangue, which,
for keen invective, wit polished and pungent,
graphic description, and gorgemisness of language
lias never been surpassed by any man man of his
Jay. He concluded with the following setiment:
The Constitutional /lights of the South —For
their maintenance her hopes are. in the justice
and patriotism of tho co-Slates—her confidence
in the energy and spirit of her own citizens.
When the calm again rcturnoj, Col. Pinckney
gave
The Hon. William J, Grayson —ln retiring
from the councils of his country, he carries with
him our grateful recollection of the consistency,
firmness and patriotism of his public life—high
admiration of his talents and virtues—and ardent
wishes for his prosperity and happiness.
This sentiment also, was received with the
most enthusiastic cheering, and Mr. Grayson re
turned his thanks in a brief, modest and graceful
speech.
Our distinguished guests withdrew at 10 o’-
clock, end concluded the evening, as it should be,
at a private party, in one of those elegant man
sions whoso polished an! refined hospitality, has
largely contributed to build up the reputation of
Carolina for accomplished manners and social en
joyment.
