Southern Quarterly Review.
We received, a day or two since, the January
number of this truly able Southern work, and have
devoted as much time to its examination as our oth
er engagements would allow. Besides the critical
notices, which embrace the “ Mysteries of Paris,”
“Alison’s History of. Europe,” “ Harper's Pictori
al Bible,” Mrs. Ellis’ “ Pictures of Private Life,”
Kendall's “Life of Andrew Jackson,” “ Neal’s
History of the Puritans,” and some others of minor
importance, the articles arc six in number; and all
are written with force, elegance, spirit and good
taste.
The first article is upon the French Revolution,
and takes up about a hundred pages. The author
refers to the various histories which have been
written of that interesting and extraordinary epoch
in the annals of the world; characterising Alison’s
as able in stating the list of grievances, but defec
tive in linking together cause and effect; Mignet's
as the most condensed, philosophical and beautiful
narrative of the progress of events; Thiers’ as the
most copious and expanded; and Carlyle’s as pre
senting the ablest and most diamatic view of the
scenes al the revolution, as well as the spirit and
motives of the actors. He then turns historian
himself, and gives a clear and comprehensive ac
count of the causes which produced those sanguin
ary struggles, interspersed with illustrative anec
dotes and philosophical remarks, presenting a vivid
and attractive picture ot the whole, made so not
less by the writer’s clear conceptions and graceful
diction, than by the magnitude of his subject. We
have seldom spent two or three hours more instruc
tively, than in the perusal of this article.
Art. II. is a review of a volume of Poems on
Man, by Cornelius Matthews. Mr. M. is but little
known as a writer of poetry, and the selections
from bis work made by his reviewer, do not strike
us as indicating high poetic talent. The reviewer,
however, from whose observations we shoald think
to be u good judge in these matters, regards him
“as one of the most promising of the rising genera
tion of American authors.”
The Report of the Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs is the subject of the third article, and all who
read it will be anxious to procure the document it
self, and will no doubt find additional interest ir. its
pages, in the feeling of sympathy for the aborigines,
which the review is calculated to excite.
The fourth article, upon the “Relations of the
Ancient World,” we have had no time to examine.
A beautifully written and laudatory notice of the
volume of poems recently presented to the public
by Doct. Pcrcival, is the next in order, and we are
happy to perceive that the writer can appreciate
and is disposed to do justice to the merits of one of
the most highly gifted of our American authors.
The last article, a dissertation upon the philoso
phy of Socrates, indicates learning and research;
and will he relished by those who are able to ap
preciate it. The writer is a warm admirer of the
Grecian sage and philosopher, and hat.les right
valiantly in his defence.
We have .hus briefly spoken of (he articles in the
number before us. That they arc honorable to our
literature all will admit who read them, and we on
ly regret that a wider circulation of the work is not
obtained, to elevate the character and improve the
taste of Southern readers.
—
Louisiana.
linn. Henry Johnson, (Whig) has been elected
l. 1 . S. Senator from Louisiana, to fill the vacancy
occasioned liv the death of Hon. Alex. Porter.
Mr. Black's Speech.
We publish to-day, a speech from Mr. Black, the
only document which we have had’lhe plensure of
receiving from him this session He asks its
|iuhlication “as an act of justice,” because as he
alleges, we have censured his course in some of
our editorials. We comply with the request, not
as an act of justice, (for on the subject of receiving
abolition petitions wc have not censured him,)
hut through courtesy only. On this question we
are with him, though we may not he afraid of all
who differ with us, nor ready to denounce as abo
litionists, all who think that the'21st rule has failed
to quiet agitation, and are therelorc willing to sec
it abandoned.
Executive Nominations. '
The nomination of Jame4 M. Porter as Secrota
ry of War, and John C. Spencer, as one of the
Judges of the Supreme court, have been rejected
by the Senate. Parties in that body seem to vie
with each other in their cflbrts to embarrass Presi
dent Tyler. His nominations arc subjected to the
severest scrutiny, and, we cannot help believing,
frequently rejected without good reasons. What
ever reputation Mr. Porter may have brought into
the Cabinet with him, he seems to have been found
industrious and competent in the discharge of the
duties of his office. Mr. Spencer is acknowledged
to be an able man, and has a high reputation as a
lawyer—we think it hardly probable that ihe-Pres-
ident w ill nominate a more suitable candidate. •
The nomination of Capt. Shubrick, of the Navy,
as Chief of the Bureau of Clothing and Provisions
in the Navy Department, in place of Isaac Hill, re
jected, has been confirmed fay the Senate.
Mr. Colhomi’s Letter.
The anxiety which is felt in all quarters to under
stand the position of Mr. Calhoun on the Presiden
tial question, ds well as the interest which attaches
to every production of his pen, has induced us to
spread his late letter before our readers, although its
length excludes much other matter, which to some,
at least, would be more acceptable.
Like every thing else emanating from that gentle
man. in this letter are marks of the strength and
peculiarities of his intellect—it is searching, spec
ious and metaphysical; but wanting in those com
mon-sense and practical views, which create con
fidence and secure success. Mr. Calhoun is an ab->
stractionist, in the fullest and most comprehensive
sense of the term. Whatever theory he may choose
to adopt, he runs out to its utmost verge, and per
sists in maintaining it in all its parts, regardless of
consequences, even though it may involve a rcduc-
tio ad absurdum. In the case before us, he con
tends, perhaps correctly too, that in a nomination of
candidates for-tho Presidency and Vice Presidency,
«the relative weight qf the States should be main,
tained, making due allowance fortheir relative par
ty strength.’’ But bow is this “relative party
strength” to be ascertained? In the constant mu
tation# of pasty, the vot? at one fclectipp is a very
poor criterion of what may be expected at the suc
ceeding one. This year, one party may hold the
majority isp State; in the. next, the scale is‘turn
ed, and the late minority become the majority.—
And where party majorities are preserved from
year to year, the aggregate of votes is constantly
changing, and these majorities are lessened or in
creased according to circumstances. However
correct, then, this principle may be in theory, it is
utterly impracticable to reduce it to any satisfacto
ry application:
Mr. Calhoun argues in favor of an election of del
egates by districts, and voting per capita in the
Convention; first, because it is more advantageous
to the small states, and more analogous to the con
sultation ; and secondly, because it brings the elec
tion nearer the people. A part of the first propo
sition is certainly true to sorae extent, but how
much does it add to the weight of the small Slates,
to what they would have by general ticket 1 It
would be hard to point out any gross injustice done
them by the general ticket plan. If such injustice
existed, is it likely that a Urge majority of the small
Slates would accede to it? It is well known that
Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Missis
sippi, Michigan and Rhode Island, have elected
delegates by State Conventions. Are not the pol
iticians of these Stales as intelligent as those to be
found elsewhere ; anu would they, if any material
injury was likely to he done them, have adopted
this mode in preference to the one recommended
by Mr. Calhoun? And how does the Constitution
interfere with the general ticket plan ? Does that
instrument command an election of electors for
President by Districts ? No, it leaves that ques
tion to he determined by the legislatures of the
several States; and they have unanimously adopt
ed the general ticket plan. This plan, then, is not
only in conformity with the Constitution, but with
universal practice. Is it not unreasonable that
this practice should be sought to be overturned by a
single State, and all who choose to adhere to it, be
denounced as dictators ?
The second objection, however formidable in
theory, is not one of practical existence. If dele
gates are chosen by districts, the counties and
towns composing those districts, must send del
egates to the district conventions; for the peo
ple could not assemble en masse. The dele
gates to the National Convention must he appoin
ted, not by the people directly, but by their dele
gates in district conventions. In Georgia, our del
egates went directly from the people to the State
Convention, and there appointed our Representa
tives to the Baltimore Convention. The same
course was pursued in Alabama, and so far as we
know, in all the States, except New-York. That
State is too populous to have delegates from every
township, and consequently county conventions in
tervened between the primary meetings and the
Slate Convention. This was done from the neces
sity of the case, and is an exception to the preva
lent system. It will be seen, therefore, that with
this exception, the people hare as direct an agency
in the selection in one case as in the other. The
objection is too small for the man and the occasion.
Mr. Calhoun, we think, is in error in contending
that the election of President by the House of Rep
resentatives, constitutes “as much a part of the
election as the other,” by the electoral Colleges.—
We look upon the election by the House, as an
alternative, in case of a failure of the other and bet
ter plan. Surely if a majority of the electoral votes
are given to an individual, the election is complete
—he is chosen without the aid of the House! If
the electoral colleges fail to elect, then another
plan is tried, (not a part of the same one.) and the
House of Representatives elect the President.—
Now, if it be necessary closely to analagise the
nomination to the election, the proper course is sim
ple and obvious. Let the Convention meet, and
the delegates from each of the States give the
number of votes to which they are entitled in the
regular election, and in such manner as they may
be instructed by the authority under which they act.
If no one obtains a majority of the whole, then let
the namesofthe three highest candidates be presen
ted, and the delegation from each State give one vote,
s the House of Representatives does, when the
election devolves upon that body. This would
make the mode of nominating conform to the mode
of electing, as prescribed in the Constitution, and
would obtain what Mr. Calhoun seems vainly stri
ving to accomplish. Had he recommended this
course, there would have been reason and common
sense in the argument.
But it is unnecessary farther to review the argu
ment of this letter. 'Ye regret its publication, be
cause it is calculated to produce difficulties hereaf
ter, apd induce many to stickle for minor points
who otherwise would never have thought of conso
ling their disappointments in this way. It shows,
too, a distrust, a want of cordiality, which should
never find a place among brethren of the same po
litical faith. Mr. Calhoun and hi; friends well
know, that if the Convention were to be constituted
and vote as he suggests, it could be of no earthly
benefit to him—it would produce no change in the
final result. Indeed, when the party is so equally
divided between two or more favorites, that a vari
ation in the mode of nomination would make any
difference as to the candidate selected, we doubt
whether there would be any benefit in having a
Convention at all. If we have reason to hope for
union and success, the majority must be decidedly
in favor of the candidate selected; and it will gen
erally be the case, as it is note, that public opinion
settles too strongly in favor of the popular candi
date, pending the election of delegates and before
a formal nomination is made, to allow a convention
to violate it.
Mr. Calhoun's name is not to be presented to the
Baltimore Convention. Wljether it shall go before
the people or not, he intimates is to he left to his
friends, though we presume that, as heretofore, he
will reserve to himself the right of determining that
question in the last- resort. We do not believe,
however, that any efforts will be made to get up a
party for him.
Of his own vote at the election he speaks in such
manner as to leave us somewhat In the dark;
though we gather.front it that he cannot support
Mr, Clay, and that he will not vote, for Mr- Van
Buren unless his friends go for free trade and a
gainst the : reception of abolition petitions. We have
reason to believe that on these points, Mr. Tan Ba
re n's friends will pursue such a course as will sat
isfy all of Mr. Calhoun’s reasonable scruples, and
hence we shall look for his support of the Demo
cratic candidate. 1 He must know that Mr. Van Bu
rnt hiptself is against abolition and in favor of on
ly a revenue Urifti hut ho cannot, like Mr. Gal
houn, mould tho opinions and actions eif all bis
friends, to the exact pattern of his own views.—

From the Augusta Washingtonian.
Messrs. Editors.—I understand that the Stu
dents of Franklin. College enacted another of those
disgraceful scenes, for which they have so distin
guished themselves, on the occasion of the visit to
Athens of Mr. John W. Hawkins, the distinguished
Temperance reformer. This gentleman was mo
lested on both nights of his lectures, and the con
duct of the students to him, and the disrespect to
die audience, was such as almost exceeds belief.
This is not the first outrage of these literary row
dies. Mr- Taylor, another Temperance lecturer,
was equally badly treated. It would Seem that
these students learn as much laziness as latin, and
much more rudeness of conduct than either good
sense or good manners.
1 hev are thrice welcome to the wreaths ,wlijch
encircle their brows—won and worn in a cause in
which every victory is a defeat, and its highest hon
ors—disgrace. I understand also that the Profes
sors were not present on either occasion, nor many
of the citizens, in consequence of anticipating a
disturbance from the Students. ORDER.
Remarks.—We copy the above in order to set
is author right as to the facts of the case, and to
disabuse the public mind of the unfavorable impres
sion its publication is calculated to create, in refe
rence to our citizens and the college. In speaking
of the visit of Mr. Hawkins to this place, in our last
week’s paper, we refrained from alluding to the dis
turbances, because of the insignificance ofthe actors,
both in numbers and character, and because we did
not desire to bring odium upon a whole community,
in consequence of the bad conduct of some half a
dozen boys. And we now only speak of it, be
cause an erroneous statement, and one calculated
to do us injury, has gone forth to the world.
Mr. Hawkins arrived here on Monday week, and
delivered his first lecture the same evening. The
weather was unfavorable, and the notice Was far
from being general. The audience, therefore, was
not large. Shortly after the lecture commenced,
some two or three persons in the gallery interrupt
ed it by making noises with their feet; but this was
promptly quelled by a few of our citizens, and the
lecture proceeded without further disturbance.—
On the next evening a large concourse was in at
tendance. The rioters, foiled in theirfirst efforts,
procured a quantity of Scotch Snuff, which they
clandestinely sprinkled in one portion ofthe house,
and which, in the first part of tho lecture, created
very general sneezing among the audience. At
tempts were made to discover the offenders,, but
without success, though we learn that their names
have since been ascertained. From this statement
it will be seen with what truth the writer above al
leges that the citizens staid away, anticipating a
disturbance.
It is proper to remark again, that no one suppo
ses there were more than half a dozen engaged in
the pitiful outrage on either night; and the mass of
the students, as well as the citizens, made une
quivocal demonstrations of their indignation at the
abortive attempts to break up the meeting.
We feel humiliated, that there should be asingle
individual among us, so utterly debased as to be
guilty of an offence of this kind, and we think we
share this feeling in common with the mass of our
population. We doubt not that the Faculty orcivil
authority, will promptly do their duty, if furnished
with evidence ol the guiltof any student or citizen,
and that measures will be taken to prevent a recur
rence of such disgraceful scenes hereafter.
been satisfied if the candidate advocated correct
principles, without making him responsible for the
acts of all his supporters. But even these, as we
said above, we think will be found satisfactory, and
we therefore hope, notwithstanding our apparent
divisions, for a' strong, united, and successful efiort
at (ho next election.
