Sam Houston—Again.
This great Union saver again fc appcars before
the country, “singing that same old tune.” We
never think of him without regretting that he
was permitted to live through the struggle for
Texan independence, in which he won so much
glory. A Mexican sword or bullet, properly di
rected, would have perpetuated his renown; but
cruel fate has decreed that he should survive his
manhood, and that the imbecility of age should
fritter away the hard earned fame of his early
life. The resolutious of the Legislature of South
Carolina, calling upon her sister States of the
South to meet in convention for the purpose of
taking united action in reference to the future
encroachments of tho abolition power, were sent
to the Legislature of Texas, now in sessioD. In
transmitting these resolutions to that body Gov.
Houston accompanied them with a message in
which ho insinuates that the proposed call is a
disunion movement, and recommends a negative
response to the invitation.
He passes this slur upon the action
of a Southern State when confronted by the fact
that tho declared purposo of the call is to adopt
such measures as will prevent disunion. Every
half witted man or intelligent baby knows that,
if what has happened to excite the Southern
heart, cannot break its lethargy, fanaticism, em
boldened by our stupor, will quicken its jpace and
force us to a position whence dissolution is the
only method of escape. To arrest this tendency
of things, resistance is necessary—either physical
or moral. The Legislature of South Carolina
proposes to employ the latter. Her statesmen
have thought that if the Southern States would
meet and consult together, they might resolve
upon a course of policy by which tho South could
yoi, bo secure in the Union. They thought
further, and wisely too, that, if in that conference
this were demonstrated to be a vain hope, the
sooner it was known tho better. The speech of
Col. Meinminger before the authorities of Virgin
ia, exposed tho absurdity of the idea that this is
a disunion movement. It is eminently conser
vative. It proposes to heal the malady in our
federal relation in tho only manner by which it
can bo reached—by dirocting against it the mor
al power of united Southern opinion. We trust
tUcxt iUo Legislature of ToaOß will yopudiftto tbn
advice of her Governor and that, tho Executive of
no other Southern Stato will covet a share of his
What has become of the Atlantic Tele
graph?—lt has been proposed by the friends of
the Atlantic Telegraph, says the New Orleans
Bulletin, that the work upon it should be re
commenced during the coming summer, and a
new subscription of stock was commenced some
time since in England. It is to bo hoped that the
enterprise—of the ultimate success of which there
can be no doubt—will be carried through during
the present year, when some other great lines
will be finished. The East India line from Lon
don to Calcutta has already been completed to
Aden, on the Red Sea, and by the Ist of August
the India Board at London, can hold hourly con
sultation with the Governor-General at Calcutta*
Bombay or Madras. This line will be speedily
extended to China. We are not behind-hand in
telographic enterprises, and it is highly probable
that before the next New Year’s day the tole
graphic liue across this continent will be complet
ed by a wire between San Francisco and St.
Louis. With the Atlantic cable, we could then
complete the eleetric chain around the world, and
put a girdle round about the earth in less than
forty minutes.
}£si.The New York Daily News writing a day
or two before the election of Speaker, thus re
marks: “Nine-tenths of the merchants of our city
—and we learn that the same is true of Boston
and Philadelphia—believe that tbe election of a
speaker from the Southern States would be tho
best antidote or palliative that could at present
be offered to their wounded and outraged feel
ings. It would say to the South that we loved
them and confided in them, and that we respec
ted their rights and were determined to defend
them. Let it be so, then will peace, prosperity,
and union again be ours.”
The Speaker Elect.
The Wasbington correspondent of the Charles
ton Mercury writes tbe following in relation to
the present Speaker of tho House of Representa
ti\ :
Mr. Pennington is “a fine old Jersey gentle
man.” who was Governor of that State from 1837
to 181 b, during whieh time Congress refused to
receive Representatives contesting seats, to whom
he had given certificates bearing the “broad seal”
of the State, which was a partv-word in the Har
rison campaign. He resides at Newark, where
i.uu\\ vehicles and crab-apple champagne, with
u .“? er n °tions, are manufactured in large quan
tities tor a Southern market, and is far from be
ing entitled to a place among the bigotted Re
publicans. Indeed, it is no secret that, thougha
true Black Republican, he has something of

Debate in the Senate of the United States , be
tween Senators Fitch, of Indiana, and Wilson,
of Massachusetts, on Thursday, Jan. 26, 1860.
Mr. Fitch. I understood the Senator from
Massachusetts to put an interrogatory to the
Representatives of the Northern Democracy on
this floor. Without assuming to say what tbe
north-western portion of tho party will do. I
think I can tell the Senator what they will not
do. In the event of the policy now advocated by
the Senator becoming the dominant policy of the
Government, and thereby diiving off the South
ern portion of the Confederacy, the North-west
will not remain attached to New England.
North-western Democrats are not now disunion
ists, and they hope the day is far distant when
disunion will be the remedy for any domestic
difficulty; but they can readily be made disun
ionists by the policy and acts of the Republican
party; for if that policy prevails, and the acts
arising from it continue until the present Confed
eracy is thereby dissolved, we of the North-west
shall bctuiiitj tllouulonioto, so far txo oxir ■political
connection with New England is concerned.
There would soon, from being a Northern Con-
North. We have no sympathy or affiliation, with
the political Republicanism of New England—the
source and origin, as we believe, of all our pre
sent domestic troubles. When that Republican
ism ends in what must be the only result of its
success—disunion—we, of the North-west, will
soon relieve our social circles from the pollution,
and our political communities from the poison of
its mad fanaticism, its free-love, Mainelawism,
and negro equality.
Mr. Wilson. The Senator has undertaken to
answer a question, and he has not done it. I put
the question noiv to the Senator: if Mr. Seward,
Mr. Chase, Mr. Bates, Mr. Banks, or any other
man in the country who is spoken of, or that may
be selected by the Republican party, is elected
President of the United States. I ask that Sena
tor if he will sustain the men who are now threat
ening to dissolve the Union; if he will join in
resisting the inauguration of such a President ?
Mr. Fitch. Does the Senator expect an an
swer now ?
Mr, Wilson. Yes, sir.
Mr. Fitch. The question, Mr. President, has
been already answered. In that event, we of the
section from which the candidate would be selec
ted, although we should oppose to the utmost of
our ability his election, would not deem the fact
of his election a cause for a dissolution of the
Union, but the pernicious doctrines of his party
might well be taken exception to by the South :
and if that section should deem his election and
the principles of his party, which he would be
bound to carry out, sufficient cause for dissolu
tion, the North-west would not long be found, af
ter dissolution, acting with those whom we should
know to have been its cause—the New England
States under Republican rule.
Mr. Wilson. Then it amounts to this; that if
these gentlemen who are threatening to dissolve
the Union go out of the Union, the Senator is
not ready to go with them. [“Yes, he is.”] He
does not deem that sufficient cause; but if they
do go out, then he is ready to dissolve the Union
himself.
Mr. Fitch. The Senator need not misrepre
sent me.
Mr. Wilson. Ido not intend to do so, sir.
Mr. Fitch. I say when his party by their
policy and their acts have forced upon the South
a dissolution of the Confederacy, we, of the
A\ est, will not remain parts of the Northern Con
federacy, associated with New England; but in
the North there will soon be an Eastern and a
Western Union. Our social and commercial re
latlono in tUc gicat > alley or me Mississippi and
its tributar es, are more naturally with the South,
aside from its peculiar institution, than thev are
with you of New England: and our political
affiliation is much stronger with the c tizens of
the South, who strive to maintain the Constitu
tion. than with you who disregard and are seek
ing to violate it
Mr. W ilson. —The South has changed its opin
ions. and the Democratic party has changed: and
because we have not changed, and will “not fol
low these new lights, but stand by the doctrines
of the fathers, we are denounced as enemies to
the country; and if we follow out our convic
tions, it is threatened that a disolution of tbe
•Union will follow; and the Senator gets up here
and throws out the idea that if these gentlemen
do go out the Union, he will go out too. He and
the people of the West will not remain with New
England.
Mr. Fitch.—l desire the Senator to put my po
sition precisely as I stated it. He first repre
sented me as saying that if the South, because of
encroachments on them, chose to dissolve the
Union, we would directly or indirectly aid it in
so doing. The Senator well knows, as every
Senator within the sound of my voice does, that I
did not say anything which couldjustify such an
inference; but on the contrary, what I said was,
that when, by the acts of his party, the South
were forced out of the Confederacy*, leaving us of
the North in the Northern Confederacy—a rem
nant of the existing one—we would make that
remnant still less by severing our political con
nection with New England.

OBITUARY.
JOHN HODGES DRAKE, Senr., died in Au
burn, Alabama, on Sunday the 11th day of De
cember, A. D. 1859, in the 93d year of his age.
The deceased retained his health and physicial
powers in an uncommon degree until the first
day of Dec- mber 1858, when he had the misfor
tune to receive a fall, by which two of his ribs
were fractured and his system, generally, so
shocked as to render: him entirely helpless for
the remainder of his life. His sufferings were
v< rv rat 1 r considerable time after this sad
acid ic: ;, nu l . during the most of his long con
finement he was free from much actual pain—
sometimes seeming to be doing so well as to in
spire his ii ends with the hope that he would live
to complete hi century of years and honors.—
About threo weeks before his death his system
seemed mere evidently to yield, and without suf
licient recuperative energies, he gradually sunk —
his spirit departing at 25 minutes after 12 o’clock,
on Sunday evening the lit hDec. 1859.
It will be gratifying to the many absent friends
of the venerable deceased, to be assured, that du
ring his long confinement, he received every pos
sible attention from physicians, friends, relatives
and faithful servants. There was not a moment
of time, day or night, for a year and eleven days,
that he was not tenderly watched and nursed by
those who made his comfort their chief stud and
conc- rn. Mis wants were ever kindly anticipa
ted, tnd luosc softer and more delicate attentions
alwaj jo grateful to the afflicted, were bestowed
by a devoted, gentle daughter, who was ever
present to encourage, toeoinfort, to soothe and to
“minister unto.” He truly appreciated the at
tentions and kindness of all, and never forgot nor
neglected to be kind and polite in return. He
was entirely conscious of his approaching disso
lution —was prepared for the oft dreaded ordeal,
and fully realizing the promise, “Lo ! I am with
you always,” he deliberately placed his bands—
closed his eyes, and his time-worn body sunk to
rest, whilst his spirit, released from its earthly
tenement, returned to God who gave it. Thus
has passed from earth, one, venerable in years—
a Patriarch in wisdom, respected and esteemed
by all, paid blessed of Heaven.
The life and character of Major Drake, faith
fully written, would furnish much that would not
only be interesting, but profitable for imitation
and study The writer feels his incompetency to
enter into a biographical detail and hesitates to
attempt even a general outline.
John Hodges Drake was born in Edgecombe,
(now Nash,) county, North Carolina, January
29th, A. D., 1767. Although he was too young to
take part in the struggle for Independence, he
nt <xa i cured in ‘’tße Guy a tlicifc tried men's ouulSj**
and with tbe example of his father and elder
brothers, who periled Hieir &
love of right and justice, that characterized his
life. The writer has often heard him recount
many stirring incidents of revolutionary times,
and loved to see his noble countenance lit with
the lire of patriotism as he would relate them.—
One incident especially, of which he was an eye
witness, seemed to warm bis whole soul with fire.
It w s the attack on his father’s house, in 1781,
by a Captain Beard and his band of tories, briefly
alluded to in Wheeler’s History of North Caroli
na. In this attack, his father, a brother and two
neighbors contended, hand to hand with Captain
Beard and his company of over fifty tories, until
they were overcome and cut down, their bodies
covered with wounds.
Major Drake lived in his native county, Nash,
(formed from Edgecombe in 1777,) for more than
seventy-five years. There the vigor and prime
of his life and energies were spent, and his integ
rity, sound judgment and great general informa
tion were ever recognized by the people. Indeed,
for over silty years he was honored with some
public trust which the people freely bestowed in
compliment to his faithfulness and competency.
He served in the North Carolina Legislature, in
the House ot Commons, from 1792 to 1796, and
in the Senate in 1860 and 1805. He was for more
than thirty years Clerk of the Superior Court of
Nash county, and for a greater length of time
served as a Justice of the Peace, an office, in
North ’arulina, without emolument, but of honor
and responsibility,
In politics he was not a partizan, but always
governed by principle. He understood well the
history of the Government—the rights granted
and reserved. States Sovereignty, and States
rights equality were cardinal tenets* in his politi
cal creed. Fully appreciating the elective fran
chise, he never failed to vote at a Presidential
election wheu constitutionally qualified, ami vo
ted conscientiously and consistently on all occa
sions * hen he exercised the privilege.
Asa citizen, his long life of active public ser
vice is evidence that he was useful and esteemed.
He loved order, and was from impulse ever a
conservator of peace. His mind was strong and
active—and quick to analyze and discriminate.
His opinions when formed were generally correct
and c nclusive. Hence he vas often appealed to
in matters of controversy between his neighbors
and friends. His habits of iudustry and temper
ance may perhaps in some measure account for
the astonishing preservation of his physical and
rnenta energies. His mind was clear and the
senses scarcely imy&iieU up io mo last hour Os
his Hie.
In socV intercourse, his extensive general in
formation together with a rich fund of anecdote
ever at c tnmand, made his company much
sought, tor instruction and pleasure. No oneen
joyed iu a rational sense, the pleasures of society
m - rtiau :e did. He had the happy faculty of
a i inc himself to any circle, and of making
e - . feel at ease and pleased in his presence.
He k-d to witness the sports of youth, and to
hear toe prattle of childhood, always happy to
contribute o their enjoyment—perhaps present
ing some new recreation, or offering some inge
nious .<si * he exercise cf their minds, careful
ever to the “useful with the agreeable.”
The writer has often seen him seated, surrounded
by a circle of children, and entertaining them
with some pleasing reminiscence of other days,
to which they listened with delight—each eager
to catch every word that fell from the lips of
“Grand Pa Drake.”
Major Drake was a Master Mason. He was
initiated into the Order, in the town of Halifax,
N. C-, near seventy years ago. He loved the
tenents of the Order and on every convenient oc- j
casion, it was his pleasure to mingle with the
craft. The writer can never forget the profound
impression made on his feelings, on seeing this
venerable man, then near ninety years old, as the
oldest *Mason present, carrying “the Sacred Wri
tings,” in public Masonic procession. Though
always unobtrusive, he seemed to fill this office
with peculiar pleasure.
In all the relations of life he was fully equal to
bis assigned positions. He was generous and
brave, with a heart alive to every noble sympa
thy. Asa master he was humane and indulgent. ,
His servants loved and reverenced him truly. j
His friendships were disinterested and true, and j
nothing seemed to give him more pain than to find j
them misplaced. Asa husband and father, he I
was tender, gentle, kind and indulgent. He cher- j
ished in sacred remembrance the wife of his j
youth —the friend and companion of his riper
years. Together, they journeyed hand in hind, j
for many years, down life’s path-way—a large
family had been reared up to bless them —then he
gave her to God and to Heaven. Twenty years
ago he deposited her remains in the family bury
ing ground at the old hon estead. But twenty
years had not obliterated her memory, and desir
ing that his dust should mingle with her’s, ho re
quested that his remains should be borne to his
old home and deposited by the side of her’s.—
From these two, now silently sleeping, there are
living, over one hundred descendants. May they
cherish their memories and love the virtues which
their lives exemplified.
Major Drake was a believer in the religion of
the Bible. Sixty years ago he made a profession
of religion and was baptised in Swift creek, near
Marne's Chapel, Nash county, North Carolina. —
He was a great Bible reader, and his views on
the mysteries of the Trinity seemed to be unusu
ally ciear. He was a Baptist, but not a Sectari
an, nor fond of religious controversy, yet, would
defend with a “thus sayeth the Lord,” when liis
religious belief and views were attacked. He
loved the service of God, and was always a punc
tual attendant at church. Even in his latter
years, Sabbath after Sabath, his bent and vener
able form might be seen tottering on towards the
House of Prayer. There, none gave more at
tentive hearing, or caught more eagerly, every
word that fell from the Sanctuary. His faith re
mained unshaken up to his death. Indeed, in
his last hour it shone most clear. Feeling that
God had been gracious and kind to him, he bore
his bodily afflictions withe-.;, a murmur, and when
the dim vista was and his own strength
failed, he realized in its fullness the great promise
and found the rod and the staff to support and
comfort through the dark valley and shadow of
death. Panoplied with the all-sufficient strength
he met undismayed the Grim Monster, and died
a triumphant Christian.
After his death on Sunday, his body reposed
in the house of his son-in-law, Maj. J. F. White,
where he died, until the Tuesday following.—
On Tuesday morning an appropriate funeral dis
course was pronounced by the Rev. M. B. Har
din, Pastor of the Baptist Church at Auburn.—
His remains were then taken in charge by the
Masonic fraternity and borne to the depot, where
the last sad honors, peculiar to the order, were
performed. It was then placed on the ears, and
attended by a number of his children and friends
it was safely conveyed to the house of his son,
Dr. John G. F. Drake, Nash County. N. C., arri
ving there on Thursday evening. There it was
visited by many who knew and loved him long
years ago. The old and young, kindred and
frieuds, testified their respect and veneration. On
Friday evening, the Ifith December, 1859, in ac
cordance with his request, his was buried
the old family burying ground, by the side of his
deceased wife. Now they sleep—but in the great
day they will arise and join the happy throng,
singing praise forever to Him who redeemed
them. So mote it be. W.
