Ing this bill as it came from the House;
but they cannot be more intent on as
serting the power than I ora against its
assertion, and in maintaining our rights
and equality in reference to all the ter
ritories belonging to the Union. I, for
One, shall not yield an inch, nor give a
Vote which can, by implication, be con
strued to surrender our full right and
equality as meihbers of the Union. The
North cannot have a deeper interest
in asserting absolute power over the
territories, than the South has in resist
intr it. If it be important to her, as the
means of extending her power and
ascendancy over this government, it is
still more so to the South to resist it—
hot only as indispensable to the preserva
tion of her rights and equality, but her
safety itself. Thus thinking, I can
tseither vote for the amendment, nor the
bill with the amendment, if it should be
adopted.”
Thus spoke the great Southern Sena
tor and Statesman, than whom a purer,
hobler patriot never breathed the atmos
phere in these United States—at the
bare mention of whose name the proud
Southern heart throbs aloud, and the
eyes of her people involuntarily look
Up! I was born within a few miles of
John C. Calhoun—have seen him often
at my father’s house—knew him well—
and though, in reference to old party
issues, ahvays a Whig, I never yet saw
the day when I would not have preferred
him for President to any man in-the Un
ion. As long os he lived I was for him for
the highest office in God’s world first,
last, and all the time.: and now that
his body lies mouldering in the grave,
I am for vindicating his memory from
the assaults of Whigs, Democrats, and
Union-Savers, come from what quarter
cf the compass they may.
In the extract I have given above
from Mr. Calhoun’s speech, 1 beg par
ticular attention to tl>e words putin
italics: They suggest a multitude of
ideas, a very few of which can I touch
on in this article. I want all Demo
crats, (not “ dry rot’’ leaders,) in the
Sixth district, to think of this one idea
for a moment: The Baltimore Demo
cratic Platform, of 1848, preached in
favor of “ non-intervention” on the
slavery question in the territories.—
That party had a large, controlling ma
jority, in both houses of Congress, at
the time of the p-.issage of this Oregon
bill in 1849—and yet, in the teeth of the
said “ non-intervention” plank, in the
said Platform, we find a Democratic
Congress passing the Wilmot Proviso,
and excluding the South from territory
as big as six such States as Georgia—
done for the purpose, too, in the language
Oi Mr. Calhoun, of“ asserting the abso
lute and unconditional power of Con
gress over the territories, thereby estab
lishing a precedent, to exclude the
Souih from all oilier territories of the
United States, then possessed, or after
wards to bo acquired !*’ And the deed
was done—the Oregon bill passed—be
came, and is now the law of the land!
I leave the reader to see for him-el( the
difference between the profession and
the practice of those who figured at
Baltimore in 18481
And let it never be forgotten—never
lost sight of—that HOWELL COBB,
the mats who has forced himself, unin
vited and unasked, before the people
of the Sixth District, as a candidate for
Congress, VOTED for this Oregon
Bill, with the infamous, abolition Wil-
xnul Proviso attached to it! The vote
tfhe reader can find by turning to page
J98, of the Congressional Globe. In
ahe list of yeas, are found, side by side
■with Howell Cobb’s, the names of all the
Abolitionists in the House, at that time;
such men as Giddings, Wilmot, Ash-
mun, Benton, Chask, Collamer,
Hamlin, Hunt, King, McLane, Root,
Smith, Wentworth, Wick, Win-
tukop, <fcc. &c., all of them Abolition-
its, or out and out free-soilers, in deadly
hostility to the South qnd her rights as
protected and guaranteed in the Con
stitution.
" i And, kind reader, what is Mr. Cobb’s
I excuse for Voting this way ? why, that
Oregon lay North of 36 Q 30 min.!!!
A proposition was licicc made, in the
florae; to extend the Missouri line
through to the Pacific, and voted down,
for the reason that; by implication, it
might be construed in favor of the rights
of the South, south of the line 36° 30
min.—end after these votes, in the
House, demonstrating the intention of
the anti-slavery members, not to concede to
the South any rights whatever, in the
territory of the United States, North or
South of avy line, the bill was put upon
Its final passage, HOWELL COBB
Voted for it, and now has the
hardihood, the demagogueical; braZen
faced impudence to attempt to justify
and sugar-coat the infamy of that vote
by the poor, pitiful excuse that the tejyri-
tory of Oregon lay north of the Missouri
Compromise line !1! Can humbuggery,
deception, and trickery invent anything
lower down and more supremely con
temptible than this, and will the honest
men'of the Sixth District again suffer
themselves humbugged, deceived, and
tricked out of their suffrages by such a
man ? Heaven, patriotism, and the
memory of John C. Calhoun forbid it!
Is not Howell Cobb a nice man to be
prating now about the rights *of slave
owners in Kansas, and the admission of
that territory, into the Union, as a slave
State, being “ the paramount question
of the day ?” Is the question of slavery
there any more “ paramount” now than
the question was, in Oregon, in 1847,
when he, (Cobb) by his vote, helped
Giddings, Wilmot, and Company to ex
clude slavery from the latter ? “ Para
mount,” indeed ! The 1 paramount' quqs
tion of the day, in the Sixth District, is,
Ought and will the people again send
Cobb back to Congress, to barter away
their rights in Kansas, for the Speaker-
ship, or some other political considera
tion or preferment! Kansas, every
inch of it, lies north of the Missouri
line; and if it was constitutional to
pass the Oregon Bill, with the Wilmot
Proviso tacked on to it, because that
territory lay north of 36 deg. 30 min ,
can it be unconstitutional to pass an
amendment to the Kansas Bill, at the
next Session of Congress, with that
same Proviso for its only element and
substance? If Mr. Cobb, acting under
oath, voted for the one, will not Mr.
Cobb, under the same solemn .sanction,
vote for die other ? The passage of the
Oregon Bill, in the opinion of Mr. Cal
houn, “ established the precedent!’’
The fiee-soilers swear that, a*, the next
Session of Congress, the Kansas-Ne-
braska Bill shall be amended by the ad
dition of the Wilmot Pioviso! They
(the Abolitionists) confidently rely on
Cobb’s help in this business! He acted
with them once, and was rewarded by
the Speakership, at the very next Ses
sion or -two after he voted for the Provi
so in the Oregon Bill! Messrs. Gid
dings, Wilmot, & Co,, will say to Mr
Cobb : “ Come, old fellow, you voted
with us to exclude slavery forever and
eternally from Oregon, and you excused
yourscif to your constituents with the
pretext that that territory lay north of.
thirty six thirty; now, come up to the
scratch, and help us to do the same
thing with Kansas and Nebraska!—
These territories are also north of the
Missouri line; you can vote with us,
and be entirely consistent, and your
constituents will again credit auy thing
you may say to them by way of excus
ing the infamy of your vote!” And if
the bid is high enough, who, judging
from the past, can doubt Mr. Cobb’s
course when thus appealed to by his
amiable, abolition confreres? •* His
tory is philosophy teaching by exam
pie.” The passage of the Oregon Bill
and Cobb’s vote on it are matters of
,l history” now, and the ‘‘philosophy”
with the voters of this District will be
to make an “ example” of the said Cobb
by allowing him to stay at home!
In the counties composing the Sixth
District, particularly those bordering on
the Savannah, are hundreds of new set
tlers, from the Districts of Greenville,
Spartanburg, Anderson, and Pickens
South Carolina, a large majority of their.
Democrats, of the school of the great
Calhoun. Ts there a single one of these
that will vole for Howell Cobb, after
reading this article, which is true to the
very letter ? John C. Calhoun would
not <( yield an inch nor give a vote”
which would be tortured into an admis
sion that the South wa9 not entitled to
her rights and equality in all the terri
tories of the Union, Oregon included.—
He always stood up manfully for the
rights of his section. He loved the South
and her institutions with a fervor amouut
ing almost to phrensy. He spent his
life, destroyed his health, and wasted
his substance in defending the South
ern people against Northern aggres
sions ; and when his spirit was exhaust
ed, and he was unable to stand on his
feet, he wrote out a speech, propped up*
in his sick bed—his last, his dying
speech—against the .machinations of
free-soilers and A bolitions; handed the
manuscript to a brother Senator, (Mr.
Mason, of Virginia,) who read it for
him to the Senate of the. United
States! Such was Mr. Calhoun !—
such his devotion to the South and
her cherished institutions! What
man among us, with a Heart of flesh,
who did not love him when in life, and
who does not mourn him now that lie
is dead ! For all of his devotion to the
South an-I her Constitutional rights; we
find Howell Cobh,- in 18S0-’5I, bedaub
ed and besmeared all over With the
filth of his abolition vote, stumping it
all over Georgia, denoucing John C
Calhoun and Charles J. McDonald, and
those who believed with them, as trai
tors," “ disunionisfs” and fanatics—
dangerous men; to be detested and ab
horred, spit upon and hissed from- the
commuuity. and from the privileges of
political, civilized society ! ' And all for
what ? because they did not, like How
ell Cobb, vote with the Abolitionists to
exclude slavery from Oregon!
Mr. Cobb is a marvellously proper
man to talk of the rights of the South
ern people, Kansas, and of the threaten
ed aggressions of the Abolitionists of
the North on those rights! If there is
any meaning in voting, then, Cobb is
just as trustworthy on the slavery ques
tion as Joshua R. Giddings, of Ohio, or
Davy Wilmot, of Pennsylvania, and
not more' so! Giddings and Wilmot
voted for the Proviso, and so did Howell
Cobb! I will not trust any of the crew,
whether from the North or from the
South, on the slavery question, or any
other question, having or remotely pro-
niotely promising political capital, or
preferment!-^^reytleCfeived me once
and that'was their'fauTi; ifthey chisej
me again, it will be mine! Politically
I would not be willing to Mrust such
men in a house of mill-stones, or in the
neighborhood of a stout assemblage of
good-sized mountains ! Such tricksters
and political mountebanks ought not to
be invited to a respectable corn-shuck
ing or log-rolling, much le-s to take
their seats in the Halls of Congress for
the purposes of legislation.

For the Southern Watclim in.
Carnesville Lodge, No. 186 T. A. M
Regular meeting, Aug. 7,1855.
The undersigned, to whom was as
signed the duty of preparing resolutions
expressive of the feelings of this Lodgi
in reference to the death cf our beloved
brother, Pleasant C. Langston, who de
parted this life at Alpine, Ga., on the
9th ult., make the following report:
Death has entered our circle and, for
the first time since the organization of
our Lodge, we are called upou to mourn
the loss of a member. Our friend and
brother, Pleasant C. Langston, is no
more 1 In the death of brother Lang
ston, masonry has lost a bright and
shining light, our Lodge an efficient
officer and much beloved brother, and
society one of those buoyant, joyous
generons manly spirits that diffused
cheerfulness and good feeling through
out the circle in which he moved. To
his parents, he was an affectionate and
dutiful son—to liis brothers, he was ever
ready to extend his protection, and share
with them the fruits of his own labor.
Although not favored with early edu
cational opportunities, yet his energy
and caste of mind had already placed
him in an enviable position as a mem
ber of the Bar, and indeed he was made
up of so many of the better elements,
that, at no distant day, he would have
attained marked distinction in his pro
fession. But, alas! in the bloom of
youth and vigor of manhood, our broth
er has been summoued from all earthly
cares and trials to the presence of the
Supreme Architect, to enjoy everlasting
repose and happiness. Brother Lang
ston never attached himself to any
church, but ere his spirit winged its
flight, he gave his friends every assu
rance that a happy immortality awaited
him. . Farewell, poor Langston, God
grant that we may meet thee again in
‘he fpi ril-would.
As a tribute of espect to the mend-
ry of our deceased brother,
Resolved, That we bow with humble
ness to this infliction of divine Provi
dence.
Resolved, That we sincerely sym
pathise with the parents of our deceased
brother; and in token of respect for
his memory we will wear the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days, and
that the furniture and jewels for our
Lodge be clothed in mourning of sixty
days.
Resolved, That a blank page in our
book of record he inscribed to his me
mory.
Resolved, That the Secretary of this
Lodge be requested to forward a copy
cf these resolutions to the parents of
deceased, and to furnish a copy also, to
the Southern Watchman and Southern
Banner for publication.
