those of no other man of his day and generation.
We should like much to be enlightened m t.ns
matter, bv full information from an authentic
source; but, in the meantime, we lay betore our
readers, the following cheering evidence, taken
from an exchange paper, that the great champi
on of the South was also a soldier ol the Cross.
Charleston Courier.
“IlFi.toio.as mews of Me. Calhoun. From
the re port, says the N. V. Observer, which those
about him gave, of the last hours of this distin
guished man, it has been inferred by many, per
haps by most, that he affected to die rather as a
philosopher than as r Christian. A southern
gentleman, we regret that he does not give his
name, assures the editor of the Puritan, that this
impression is not justified bv Mr. Calhoun’s char
ac;er. We certainly rejtlce if this be so, and
v. e take great pleasure in quoting the following, ,
from the letter above mentioned, in respect to
his religious convictions:
“In the spring ot 1841, I became acquainted
with a clergyman, who had been the settled pas
tor formerly of the church (Presbyterian 1 am i
very sure) in Mr. Calhoun's parish for more
than 30 years.
“He told me that Mr. Calhoun, soon after his
settlement, requested the organization of a Bible
class, of which he desired to become a member.
The class was formed, and Mr. Calhoun never
failed being present when at home and circum
stances permitting. lie became, to the use the
words of his pastor, “the most devoted member
and the most thorough and genuine advocate of
the great fundamental doctrines of the Bible, as ,
understood by orthodox Christians he ever
knew.” He believed fully in the doctrines of
Regeneration and Sanctification by the Holy
Spirit, and so deeply was he impressed with the ‘
truth of them, and of his own lost condition, that
very often he came to trie prayer and enquiry
meetings, and with tears implored th ; Church
for his conversion.” During the ministry of this
clergyman the Church enjoyed sevsral revivals,
but in none of them did Mr. Calhoun find reiiet. •
and yet he could not and would not abandon f
his orthdox sentiments.
“In conversation with another clergyman,
about two years ago, 1 was informed that Mr. j
Calhoun had, a few months before, found the j
‘peril of great price,’lor which he had so long j
and earnestly sought; that his mind was calm j
and at ease, with his Redeemer.
“ThatMr. Calhoun was an honest and most |
upright man, of stern integrity and almost ui:- 1
exampled purity of private life—a true and un-,
deviating patriot; devoted!) attached to his coun- j
try and her best interests and honor no one can !
deny. That he was an evangelical Christian,
and died supported by the Christian’s hope, and j
with Christian philosophy,l have no doubt.”
The Southern Convention at Nashville.
We have received by telegraph, the proceed- j
mgs of this remarkable body, to the close of the |
seventh day of its session. We say remarkable :
body, for it is so. Its proceedings have been
characterised bv dignity—its .sentiments, as ex
pressed in speeches, resolutions and amend- j
ments, are lofty, generous—embracing the good
and welfare of the whole Union —moderate, and |
just—just to both the North and South. What j
a contrast with the conventions that have been j
held North, West and East, antagonistic to the i
institutions ofour Southern States? On the one |
hand, we see the Southern convention meeting, j
organising, without trick or fraud, its members j
openly and above board declaring their object to :
he to preserve the rights of the South under the !
federal constitution —to retain their equality in |
the Union ; and by securing these objects to more ;
effectually and surely perpetuate the Union it
self. No base and low motives are in the minds
of those members. They have no selfish polit
ical motives to actuate them—they have no par
ty to make, and no political adventurer to push
forward to the Presidential chair. But one great
and noble sentiment pervades the Southern as- j
semblage, and that is, how best the South—her j
institutions—the rights of those States in theUn- j
ion—the honor, the safety of their families and i
firesides, can be protected and saved from the!
mad and unsparing demon of fanaticism which I
is sweeping over the North, and whose aim is
to destroy the South. On the other hand, we j
have had the Buffalo Convention, originating j
with few disappointed politicians, and comp ased
of men of all shades ol color, ot religion, oi poii- ;
tics and of wickedness —a convention got up in ,
fraud, consumated by treachery, which has not j
only mined and destroyed a great political party,
who, in the main, were disposed to do justice to
the South, but has convulsed all sections ot the
confederacy, and brought our glorious Union to
the brink of dissolution, where it even now
is standing.
The design of the originators of the Nashville ;
Convention was pure and patriotic. Far-see-1
ingmeii—some of whom are in another world— j
saw, felt, and knew, that a feeling of discontent j
and alarm prevaded a great portion of tiie South, :
and that it was spreading rapidly. They knew ;
also, that party feeling had so divided the South !
as to give the impression in the North that the J
South were not united, and that they would not j
resist the Wiimot Proviso or any other obnoxious j
and unjust measure which the majority in Con- j
gress might force upon them. They felt that 1
would the South but forget minor matters, meet ;
in solemn convention, called in reference to the |
greet and vital question upon which nearly the :
entire South think, as one man, and present an 1
unbroken front, and show the North that hey
were in earnest, the danger would be passed, jus- i
tice would be accorded to the South, and the J
Union would be saved.
The .State of Mississippi led off, and recoin-j
mended the Southern Convention to meet in .
Nashville, this June, naturally supposing that i
the present session of Congress would act be- |
fore that time, and pass the obnoxious proiiso, j
depriving the Southern States ot their lights in ■
the Union of States, rendering the assembling of j
this convention a matter ol safety; cr that the j
difficulties would be satisfactorily settled, v lien
the necessity would be at an end, and the in ten- j
tion of meeting at Nashville would pass away \\ ith
the causes which counseled the proposition.
Congress have done nothing, but have rattier ,
fallen back from the determination formed by a ,
majority ot members at the commencement ot
the session—the people of the North have had
their attention awakened to the danger, by tins ,
and other caucuses; their sentiments have mate
rially changed in favor oi the Southern cause. ;
This change has re-acted upon members ol Con
gress, and the chances of the South for getting
their rights assured, and their interest in the
territories protected, are far more favorable on
the Ist of June, 1850, than they Were on the Ist
of December, 1819.
No sooner was this convention called, than it
was met by one universal howl from presses and :
people (with some expectations) throughout the ‘
hee*States. Nullifers, disunionists and traitors,
were the mildest terms used towards the dele
gates as their names appeared. The most false,
lying, imaginary treasonable motives and designs
were fastened upon the convention months in
advance of its meeting. 1 his was not all.
universal and so startling were the charges
against the Nashville Convention, that a \ er\
large portion of the southern press got frighten
ed, and began to condemn it. The old nullifi
cation prejudices against the immortal Calhoun
were re-roused. It was wsserted by many press
es in the South, that the proposed convention
was another move of the dictator, and arranged
by him for the express purpose of separating the
go util from the north, forming a southern re- j
public, and placing himself at its head—thus
bringing on civil perhaps, causing an
insurrection of the shvvcs, with the loss ot that
species of property, and the lives of the owners.
Aspiring Senators and members ot the House ol
Representatives reiterated these absurd lalse
hoods on the stump, among their constituents, :
in some States of the south. In the lace, and 1
inspite of all these obstacles, the southern Con
vention have met, and they have done nobly un
der the circumstances. The following states
sent,

.—and from what we know of these delegates,
they arc the most abfo and sagacious men that
can be found in their respective states. The
opening of the session was marked by the deliv
ery of an address from the presiding officer.
Judge Sharkey. So fully does it express the de
signs of the convention, it deserves to be perpet
uated, and we give the following noble extract: —
The several states, he said, had united ; equal.
rights had been guarantied to all by the constitu
tion, that those rights had been violated and that
the government could not stand the shock of j
this desecration of the constitution. The con
vention, lie declared, had not assembled to de
vise measures to protect the rights and porperty j
of the southern people, but to preserve the gov
ernment which had been handed down to them
untarnished. It had not been called to prevent,
but to perpetuate the Union. Who, he asked, j
were better patriots—those who would wait
w ar til! a direct calamity had fallen on the coun
try, or those who propose to adopt measures to
avert the calamity ? It was for the convention
to devise a remedy for the evils under which the
south was laboring, and for the people to carry j
it out. Heirusted that a remedy would be’
found. In conclusion, he repeated that th* ob
ject of the originators of the convention was not
to dissolve the Union—the slanders of its ene
mies to the contrary, notwithstanding. He ex
pressed a hope that the Union might be the last
thing to perish amidst the universal wreck of
matter.
A committee was appointed to draft resolu
tions. On the sixth day they were reported to
the convention—they consist of thirteen—and
on the seventh day were taken up and adopted
unanimously. They will be found in a previous
issue. They should be read by every citizen, i
North and South. They breathe fourth, in ev- i
ery line, a spirit of justice, patriotism, common ;
sense, and constitutional truths, which will strike j
home to every American heart. They will make j
a profound impression upon every Southern j
member ofCongress, who is not party mad, or j
sold lor a future office. The Southern Conven
tion will issue an address, and then probably ad
journ.
Resolutions ol the Southern Convention.
Nashrille, June 8. 1850.
1. Resolved, That the territories of the United
States belonging to the people of the several i
states of this Union as their common property ; j
that the citizens of the several states have equal ‘
rights to migrate with their property to these |
territories, and are equally entitled to the protec- ;
tion of the Federal Government in the enjoy- j
meiit of that property so long as the territories
remain under the charge of that Government.
2. Resolved, That Congress has no power to j
exclude from the territory of the United States j
any property lawfully held in the States of the j
Union, and any act which may be passed by i
Congress to effect this result is a plain violation j
of tiie Constitution of the United States.
3. Resolved, That it is the duty of Congress to 1
provide proper governments for the territories :
since the spirit of American Institutions forbids i
the maintainance of military governments in
time of peace, and as all laws existing in Ter
ritories once belonging to foreign powers
which interfere with the full enjoyment of reli
gion; the freedom of the press; the trial by ju- i
ry and all other rights of persons and property !
as secured or recognized in the Constitution of!
the United States are necessarily void so soon as j
such territories become. American territories, it j
is the dut y of the Federal Government to make
early provision for the enactment of those law s
which may be expedient and necessary to secure
to the inhabitants of and emigrants to such ter
ritories the full benefit of the constitutional rights
we assert.
4. Resolved , That to protect property existing
in the several States of the Union, the people of
these States invested the Federal Government
with the powers of war and negotiation, and of
sustaining armies and navies and prohibited to
State authorities the exercise of the same pow
ers. They made no discrimination in the pro
tection to be afforded or the description of the
property to be defended, nor was it allowed to
the Federal Government to determine what
should be held as property. Whatever the states
deal with as property the Federal Government
is bound to recognise and defend as such.—
Therefore it is the sense of this Convention that
all acts of the Federal Government which tend
to denationalize property of any description re
cognized in the Constitution and laws of the
States, or that discriminate in the degree and
efficiency of the protection to be afforded to it,
or which weaken or destroy the title of any citi
zen upon American territories, are plain and
palpable violations of the fundamental law un
der which it exists,
5. Resolved, That the slaveholding States
cannot and will not submit to the enactment by
Congress of any ‘ law imposing onerous condi
tions or restraints upon the rights of masters to
remove with their property into territories of the
United States, or to any law making discrimina
tions in favor of the proprietors of other prop
erty against them.
6. Resolved, That it is the duty of the Feder
al Government plainly to recognize and firmly
to maintain the equal rights of the citizens of the
several States, in the territories of the United
States, and to repudiate the power to make a
discrimination between the proprietors of differ
ent species of property in Federal Legislation. :
The fulfilment of this duty by the Federal Gov- j
eminent, would greatly tend to restore peace to ;
the country and to allay the exasperation and j
excitement which now exists between Ihe differ- ;
ent sections of the Union. For it is the deliber- |
ate opinion of this Convention that the tolerance j
Congress has given to the notion that Federal [
authority might be employed incidentally and
indirectly to subvert or weaken the institutions
existing in the States confessedly beyond Fed
eral jurisdiction and control, is a main cause ot
the discord which menaces the existence ot the
Union, and which has well nigh destroyed the
efficient action of the Federal Government it- j
self.
7. Resolved. That the performance of this du- |
ty is required by the fundamental law of the j
Union. The equality of the people of the sever- I
al States composing tlio Union cannot be dis
turbed without disturbing the frame of the Araer- j
icau institutions. This principle is violated in !
the denial of the citizens of the slave-holding j
States of power to enter into the territories with
the property lawfully acquired in the States.—
The warfare againgt this right, is a war upon
the Constitution. The defenders of this right
are the defenders of the Constitution. Those
who deny or impair its exercise, are unfaithful
to the constitution, and if disunion follows the
destruction of the right, they are the disunion
! ists.
8. Resolved, That the performance .of its du
: ties upon tiie principle we declare, would enable
Congress to remove the embarrassments in
which the country is now involved. The va
cant territories of the United States, no longer
regarded as prizes for sectional rapacity and am
bition, would be gradually occupied by inhabit
ants drawn to them bv their iuterests and feel
ings. The institutions fitted to them would be
naturally applied by governments formed on
American ideas and approved by the deliberate
choice of their constituents. The community
would be educated and disciplined under a re
publican administration in habits of self govern
ment, and fitted for an association as a State, and
to the enjoyment of a place in the Confederacy.
A community so formed and organized, might |
well claim admission to the Union and none j
would dispute the validity of the claim.
9. Resolved, That a recognition of this princi
ple, would deprive the questions between Texas
and the U. States of their sectional character, I
and would leave them for adjustment without j
disturbance from sectional prejudices and pas- j
sions, upon considerations, of magnanimity and |
justice. . . i
10. Resolved, That a recognition of this prin
ciple would infuse a spirit of conciliation in the
discussion and adjustment ot all the subjects ot
sectional dispute, which would afford a guaran
ty of an earlv and satisfactory determination.
11. Resolved, That in tire event a dominant ;
majority shall refuse to recognize the great con
! stitutional rights we assert, and shall continue
to deny the obligations of the Federal Govern
ment to maintain them, it is the sense of this
, Convention that the territories should be treated
as property, and divided between the sections ot
’ the. Union, so that the rights of both sections be
adequately secured m thcr respective shares. —
That we are aware this course is open to grave
objections, but we are ready to acquiesce in the
adoption of the line of 36 deg. 30 min. North
; latitude, extending to the Pacific Ocean, as an
extreme concession, upon considerations of what j
is due to the stability of our institutions.
12. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this ;
Convention this controversy should be ended,
either by a recognition of the constitutional rights !
of the Southern people, or by an equitable par
tition of the territories. That the spectacle of a j
confederacy of States, involved in quarrels over
the fruits of a war in which the American arms
were crowned with glory, is humiliating. That
the incorporation of the Wiimot Proviso in the |
offer of settlement, a proposition which fourteen
States regard as disparaging and dishonorable,
is degrading to tiie country. A termination to
this controversy by the disruption of the Con
federacy, or by the abandonment of the territo
ries to prevent such a result, would be a climax
to the shame which attaches to the controversy ;
which it is the paramount dutv ofCongress to
avoid.
13. Resolved That this Convention will not
adjourn without making an adjustment of this
controversy, and in the condition in which the
i Convention find the questions before Congress,
it does not feel at liberty to discuss the methods
i suitable for a resistance to measures not yet
| adopted, which might involve a dishonor to the j
Southern States.

J “How so, Pat?”
“An’ sure, when it cotched afire, wasn’t I

“My boy,” said a wag to a sharp featured
little fellow, “can you inform me who it was
that struck Mr. William Patterson?”
“Yes, sir,” said the urchin, with a saucy
(winching of the muscles of the lip. “It was
the man in the green spectacles vot owns the
black dog.”
The wag was fairly bagged by his own
game.

I From the New Orleans Fricc Current, June 15.
Our last report left the Cotton market in a very quiet
i state, as but lew buyers eamc forward to operate, and
j prices were feeble. During Saturday, Monday and
| Tuesday the market presented a vory dull aspect, and
only about 2800 bales were disposed of, at irregular pri
ces, but in most instances at a traction in favor of buyers.
On Wednesday the market opened quietly, but as the
day advanced, quite an active enquiry sprung ip, which
resulted in sales of fully 7000 bale?, the market recover
ing a position of more firmness and steadiness. This
renewal of the demand led to the impression that parties
were in possession of the latter, and favorable advices
: Irom Europe, and this was confirmed by the appearance
of dispatches in the papers of Thursday morning, an
: nouncing the arrival of the Canada at Halifax, with ad
vices of an K 1 advance in the Liverpool market, and sales
j oi 65,000 bale s , of which 20,000 bales were on speculation
! af>d4Coofor export. Them was again a fair en jury or,
Thursday, and some 4000 bales were disposed of at firm
j prices. Yesterday the America’s letters came through,
i and but few buyers appeared in market. At the same
1 time there was but a moderate supply offering, particular
| l v of Louisianas and Mississippi?, which are held at very
I full rates. The sales, therefore, were confined to about
j 1600 bales ; making a total for this week of 15,400 bales,
| taken for England, Spain, the Continent and the North.
! As we have already remarked above, prices in the early
j part of the week, were irregular, and generally in favor
; of buyers, but the rather large business of Wednesday
: and Thursday has tended not only to impart to the mark
| et more steadiness and firmness generally, but has en
i ahled holders to obtain slightly improved rates for mid
dling Louisianas and Mississippi?. * The supply offering
consists principally of Tennessee?, and North Alabamas,
for which there is not much enquiry.

STOP THE MURDERER!
STEPHEN DOLES was murdered in Muscogee coun

TERRY. Terry is about 22 years ot age, and weighs
in the neighborhood of 140 lb?., wears his hair very long,
which is rather bushy, and very black. He is quick
spoken in conversation, and is large featured and badly
sun burnt. He had on when he fled, a pair of snuff eolor
! ed pants, black cloth dress coat and a black fur hat. He
