w 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.

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.
