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, pELEGATES TO TIIE NASHVILLE CONVENTION. Alabama 36 M ississippi ‘J* South Carolina 10 Texas - • ~ Virginia 8 Florida * Georgia 18 Tennessee 3 Arkansas 2 “ Total .—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. “Och, an’ what’s your honor agoin’ to give me, seein’ as it’s myself that saved yer honor’s house from burning to ashes entirely ?” J “How so, Pat?” “An’ sure, when it cotched afire, wasn’t I tiie second one that hollered fire first ?” “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. !

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. New York Cotton Market, June 15. To-day 1800 bales of Cotton were sold, the market j firm, ana in favor of sellers, middling Orleans quoted I at 12i cents. 28,000 bales have been sold during the \ week. MARRIED, In Girard.
