The following loses none of its humor-by be
ing directed against tbe class of men generally
ao far above its application; .
'Che Loud Call, or, Disinterested Pars,on
There H.v’d a Passon, sis we’re told,”
But when or where we know not;
'Who oft his snoring flock would scold,
Thrent'ning that they to HeaV’n should go not
But rather down to hell be hurl’d,
If they would not abjure the world,
And count as.dross the filthy mammon, Gold. .
It chanc'd at length, this godly wight
Who stoutly fought the christifkn fight,
Elsewhere received a loudtr call:
What tho’ the stipend was a trifle more
To one that plac'd in wealth so little store.
This iujd no weigh! you know at all!
’Twas not the cash, —oh 1 no—
But ’twas the • Lord commanded’—
•And though 'twas hard co go away,
Should he refuse ‘ the Lord’ «’ obey,
Ami be a careless servant branded !
JNo sure—-so he must go.
The parting Sabbath n> w arriv’d.
And all his simple folks contriv’d
To hear their Priest’* farewell ;
He ply’d them long in righteous slrajgi,
.Bade them from darling sins refrain,
And in sweet concord dwell;
To hate the world, in holy ways be bold,
And shun the soul’s seducer, glittering Gold.
The service o'er,
Before the door
The parish gentry catheT’d round :
Smiling, the good man came Among them, .
Seized on their offer’d hands and wrung them; .
‘ A saint on earth}’ the grannies cried,
T hen roll’d their eye-balls up- arid sigh’d,
And droop’d their farewell curtsies to the
ground. .
Behind the rest,
To bid the priest good bye,
In nature’s sooty jarkef dre.-,t r^j-«
Old CsesarTatlte'—wag and mighty sly,
J&owing, the stick ofybony began
,A confab with ihe go/d despising mao;

•Ah ! honest f tcsar, yes it must he so;
lam sorry too.
That 1 am forc'd away
But then, you know, ’twould never do,
'The Lord's loud call’ for me to disobey. •'

g. CAROIaINACONVENTION
Columbia, March 11.
The Convention met, pursuant to the Procla
mation of the President —was catted to order at
12 o’clock, and opened wiih prayer, by the Rev.
Mr. Ware, a member.
The President (James Hamilton, Jr.) then ad
dressed the members as follows ; .
Gentlemen :—Iu exercising the power of call
ing- you together, which you were pleased to
place in niy "hands at your adjournment, I have
both regretted and been sensible of the inconve
nience to which ( must have subjected many of
you in being compelled to leave your homes at
a season so essential to ilife success of the agri
cultural tabors of the whole year. Ft must, how
ever, -have been manifest to you from tfye nature
of the proceedings of this body lit its foi liter
meeting, that its re-assembling after the adjodrir
rij.'irt dT Cougiess, was an eveni tis-highly prob
able occurrence. Before, however, this neces
sity was demonstrated I was officially apprised
by ilie Governor ol South, Carolina, on the 6th
February, of the arrival of a commissioner on
the part of the State of Virginia, bearing certain
resolutions adopted by the General Assembly ot
thht State, respectfully so icitipg of tins State, a
suspension or rescinding of the Ordinance of her
CortVention until the adjournment of the next
session of Congress. These resolutions were ac
c mpanied by an application on the part of the
gentium lii.in this commission, that this Cotnten
tioh;sh'oiiVd be converted at ail early meurenl.—
The high source from which this mediation etuu
•trated, the friendly dispositions by which it was
obviously dictated, home, toi>, and advocated bj
a gentleman so Jong and so ‘advantageously
known as atiiong the most able aud devoted
| champions of the rights of the States, left me by
what 1 was qui e'sure would be your own deci
[ siort. no other, alternative (if niv own inclinations
i had been Wanting') -than a compliance with the
wishes of that distinguished -Commonwealth as
! cnihmmucated by herwoitliy Representative.—
As [ was, however, perfectly satisfied that no
decision on the proportions of which he was
j. bearer, could be in irte piior'ro the adjournment
ofXJongrcssj the period of your Mfipriibling has
| beet) arranged to meet both-conUngcilCtes.
| You have thus assembled, Gentlemen, and the
pioposed.merHatipii of Virginia, is met cQuciir
| rent!y by tire p 1 usage of ail icl by tbe-Congress
i of the-IbtihidT;tales. niodifylng tho Tariff ofabe
j L4fh of July last, and oy an act entitle*! “an
I art more effectually to provide for the-execution
' of the Rt venue Laws.”
Tn bringing both these laws (o'your view,‘and
invoking your mature consideration of their
provisions and objects, it would not become me
to rr. ke any suggestion as to the course it be
hovus you .to pursue in reference to these m«a
suros if the fi st is not in all respects satisfac
tory. as coming up to that measure of justice to
which the South had'a fair claim an I is. liable
to some important ohjiictious, it, nevertheless,
provides for the commencement of an early,
.though gradual amelioration of that system,
hgai.ist which we have so tong complained, and
'for an ulterior recognition of the constitutional
principles upon which our rijhts'are a-smned to
rest In fornii.tg your estimate, however,, of
whatever may be its intrinsic value, you will
not be insensible .to the fact, that it is .a com
promise of extrema vexatious and conflicting in
terests-made in the spirit of peace-, as an ofb-r
--big <l4the concord and tranquility of our com
mon country.—lu such a spirit our Representa
tives in Congress voted for it, and in such a spi
rit must we consider it, whaievfif may be our
final.decision on. the ra asure. T-hik adjustment
however, comes to us at least with this compen
sation lor the justice Which it yet withholds-!
that all that has been beneficially accomplished
by it for-the country, is to be atiribu ed to fire
action of this Convention, and the enCigy, de
cision, and love of liberty, of that people, !ij»
whom our praceedings have been sustained.—
\Ye mav spreiy say this without an unworllry
vaunting, when the most able of our opponents,
has.borne testimony to the truth of this fact
It is.greatly to lie regretted, with t» single view
to the harmony nnd rep ise of the country, that
this adjustment should be accompanied by liie
other measure to which I have invited your at
tention.
If we could regard the act, which provides by
itsfiflfej ‘‘for a tnoje effectual execution of the re
venue* laws,” but which in fact, provides for the
coercion of a soveieign itate in this Union, as
an empty defiance got up as a mere salvo for the
w uuded pride, or'to gratify a worse pas-ion of
the Executive, might permit it silently to puss
by, with that reprobation With which not posteri
ty alone, but at an emly moiftent, a conteinfto
rary age, will visit it, standingirtrpotehMy, as it
will fetnnd, a dead letter on our Statute Book;
hut as a precedent engrafted on onr Laws, it is'
of the most sleriou* ami portentous import, fur
nishing, as it does, the most uuequ vocal evi
dence, that as far as the authority of law extends
(independently, Ihkriks betoGod, ofllie spirit of
a free people) by a single act of legislation, the
character of our Government is changed, and a
riiilitary despotism placed ut tlie disposal. f the
Executive, when he shall determine in his own
discretia », that a fit exigency has arisen for its
exercise. The broad usurpation in this hiiv of
the right on the part of t'ongress to coerce a 3<>v
ereiirn Stale in this Union, when this pow er was
solemnly withheld by the Convention that form
ed tha Coiistiiution, the u ter annihilation of our
-judiciary in cases xlearly within their exclusive
jurisdiction, and the stil! more revolting circuirt
stance that rnPbeyiifr the laws of tbfcir own
Stare, and atecuting the mandates of tb'-ir own
CourtSj the lives ofour citizens are placed at the
merry of the standing forces of the Union,
concur to present an epoch in the politic liberty
of the country, which ought not totre ntlowed to
pass without your uniuiadver.ion. An t you will
permit me further to’ r- in irk _ whether the ad
justment of th« Tariff be deemed satisfactory Or
not, that much remains for you to do in making
of consiiiutional record in anenduring form those
great conservative principles, which borne
us yet through this contest, to say nothing of the
necessity vs providing those securities which
may in all future time command the fealty and
obedience of those who receive the protection of
our taws.
You will now, I trust, allow me to refer to a
matter which is personal to mysetf. The dis
tinguished staiion I now occupy, I owe to the ae
cidpnia! circumstance of my having been th
Qhief Magistrate of this State, when the Con
vention .first assembled.
Another individual now on this & »or fills that
post. I feel that I am not aLoue paying a prop
er deference to an established and valuable pre
cedent, but a jnst homage to superior persona!
claims and more eminent qualifications. when I
signify in the presence of this Convention, that
it is my purpose, afier the reading of the corres
pondence ( now communicate, between the
Commissioner from Virginia and the public au
thorities of this State, to resign th s Sent.
In making this declaration, permit me to su
per-add to it my unfeigned acknowledgments for
your past kindness and confidence, and ray-fer
vent prayer that the God of all mercy and truth
may so order and goveyn our proceedings, that
they may redound to the liberty, peace, and
happiness of our country.
The Roll was then called, and 131
members auswered to.t!ieir names. After
which, the correspondence was read, the
Preamble and. Resolution of the Legisla
ture of Virginia, and- a Communication
from Mr. Leigh, to the Convention,
touching the matter* at issue between the

Last evening the. Spnate was err-wded
to a Jate hour. John Randolph attended
the evening session. He cieated consid
erable sensation in Ins intruducTou to tile
Senate. A number u| HiejSenatorx went
up and spoke to him.’
Mr.Clay was one of them :&i< is soi l

“Mr. Randolph,” said a gentleman “you
don’t hear Mr. Dickerson, —shall I te
quest those people to- stand out of yc*ur

in his-peculiar shrill tone—“l have heard
that same spoech many years ago.”
When his mao,.Juba, or some other ser
vant, was putting tbe Squire* into his car-,
liage, a considerable crowd pressed a
round to atfe the oddity of his oppearnnee.
“Be* quick,” said the Squire—“or I shall
have my. pockets picked before l got to

other characteristic anecdotes told of Rail;

MR. RANDOLPH, and afttr him, JUBA.
These gentlemen seeni to have made thnir
appearance again upon the stage, but the
foruiof in such a sh tpo as to induce us to
believe he nytveoiers to play out tlte last
scene oftlte singular diarna of his life.
The curtain must before long drop upon
his extravagant performances. He stems
however to pursue his characteristics to
the last.—The master ftjtssion strong in
death is his. Though now almost tyorti
in the last thread, he is still the same
Randolph who alvvavs, abroad and at,
homo—Tri the Capitol or in tlte Public
Tavern, hail his hands upon every man
and every man's hand* upon him. Bona
parte, we are told was a soldier' to ihe
last—he died exclaiming “ 7’ete d'armee-,
as if watching the current of a heady
fight,” says Sir Walter Scot', his bistoir
an. The lasi words of Gonerril Charles
L6e, thfv. unfortunate soldier of the Revo
lution, who died in a tavein in Philadel
phia, were, *‘siand by me, my lirave«
gl^nfLdiel•s. ,, Tlte last words of hint of
Roauolte, most be snina jioiti'ed s neaxm
in keeping with* his temper and his whole,
life. And from ail accoums this seems
to be his presort! vein ; for has he not but
the other day ca! Ist! the President—the
Pfesideut whir is his otrn man. —has he
not called him Andrew Jackson Esquire;
and lias he not said of bis old brother
and compeer in politics Thomas Rhchie,
(what is, alas ! but too true !) that he is a
man of seven principles namely, five loa
ves and two fishes l All this he has said,
and many other llandolphonianA, which
we will on-» day collect and arrange under
their proper head. (
Juba too is abroad—the honest J.ube—
the Faithful Achates of these times. We
have a high regaid for Juba, We class
him among our distinguished men.—And
cort-ainly he is not' unknown to fame for
he has often-figured in the Newspapers ;
those modern trumpeters to renown. Ju
ba however is not ambitious of distinction.
We have been told that ho delights in
quiet retirement, and that like his race,
he is fond of wandering through the woods
and gathering those plants and roots which
have a medicinal virtue. —he is a great
fellow for ointments —cures bruised shins
and rheumatisms, and broken or sprained
legged horses. This is his vein. He
goes about culling of simples, whilst his
master goes about gulling of simplts . O
happy— Juba! happier thou, than him
whose Juba thou art ! Such is Juba—-and
certainly.
When Juba dies,
Mute nature will mourn her worshipper,
and celebrate his obsequies !
Thus much lor Juba Let us now come
back to old John,— Duke of (jaunt.—
“Old Gaunt, indeed ; and Gaunt in
being old.”
The character of John of Gauot,—a
distinguished citizen of the Republic of
the United States.
H 6 is oue of the most uncommon and
erratirk productions that Nature hasgiv*-
eu birth to io the last hundred year#: ..ho
is indeed one-of the rarest men that any
country has yet produced.—He is nut to
be judged of by the ordinary rules of
creation ; for like those hallucinatioirs
that sometimes appear in (lie heavens, he
freqt’ly’shoots out madly from his sphere,*
and compels the world to gaze in wonder.
Nature in some things especially, has mar
ked him altogether different from his spe
cies :he has no beard as most men have.
In the length of his limbs, and tbe length
sis Ins speeches he resembles ttemity ,
more than any other man of ihe present,
times. * He i-s altogether peculiar and of
bis ow n sort. “Heteroi lite in all his do
clensiuns,” there aie peculiar rules that
apply- to h im. He is fjong by Pvsttion
’ stud Short by Authority, as they savin
Latin Prosody when the usual rules do
not-apply. Asa politician, member of
Congress, or ihe upholder of a Pai ty, ho
is siiTl the same uncommon character: —as
lie is’to* ber praised, but like small
beer more for bis lively qualities than his
"usefulness more for Ins.
