6REETIKO TO AMERICA.
Written by Bavakd Tavlor, and sung at her
first Concert in the United States, by Jenny
Lind, on Wednesday Night, September 11th
1850, at Castle Garden, New York :
I gleet with a full heart, the L ind of the West!
Whose banner of stars o’er a world is unrolled;
Whose empire o’ershadows Atlantic's wide
breast—
And opes to the sunset its gateway of gold !
The land of the mountain the land of the lake*
And rivers that roll in magnificent tide—
Where the souls of the mighty from slumber
awake,
And hallow the soil for whose freedom they
died !
Thou Cradle of Empire ! though wide be the
foam
That severs the land of my fathers and ihee,
1 hear, from thy bosom, the welcome of home,
For Song has a home in the hearts ofthe Free
And long as thy waters shall gleam in the sun
And iong as thy heroes remember their scars,
Be the hands of thy children united as one,
And Peace shed her light on the Banner of
Stars!
From the Augusta Republic.
The “Submissive” Policy.
Dining the while course of the present
c fitrn\eisy, Between the North and the
S *uih, there have at a 1 times been found
>nme among us, who have opposed anv
plan of defence, agitation among the peo
ple, or any preparation for an emergency.
At every aggressive step <>f the Free Soil,
ets at every new outrage ii flirted upon
• iir section, they have been ever ready,
•iih pliusiMe cries ofthe Union and
peace, to excuse he trespass and overlook
the wrong. Instead of showing the South
ern people their danger,and putting them
on their guard, that they might prepare
for the worst, all their efforts have been to
lessen the appeatance of danger and throw
ridicule upon those, who wished and en
deavored to point out the alarming state,
to which things were evidently hastening.
Many have thus been led to believe that
there is tioca se of al u m—tha no aggres
siotis have been made upon their tights,
and are wholly ignorant that the whole
North is a se liotial party, handed together
for the purpose of destroying the inslilu
tion of slavery by excluding it from the j
com . on territories, aud finally crushing it
in the Stales, jhe Northe> n Represettta
ives. with hut few exceptions, stand upon
the Hoot of Congress, under positive, in |
si weti ms from the Legislatures of tlicit
several States, to oppose slavery in any
and all forms. The Government itself, it
cannot he denied lias shown evident signs
of positive hosti ity to the South and her,
institutions. Those who are so slow to !
understand the true position of the North, j
should reflect upon the many instances in
which her Representatives in .Congress
have shown this feeling of deadly hostility
to slavery. Tiie passage of the late bills,
depriving the South of all share in Califor
nia. and virtually excluding her from from
New Mexico and Utah, is but one among
the many instances in which this disposi
tion to deny us justice, has been shown.—
The South, at first, contended for one half
of the territory. The North refused it
She then desired, by offering the Mis
souri Comp omise, to obtain one-third
But she obtained not only not one third, \
hut not one foot. The m itives wnich may j
influence Southern men to submit to such
gross injustice, inflicted time after time,
are their own. That they are ill ad-ised
—that they do not comprehend the true
state of things, the real objects of the Abo-1
litionists and Free Soilers—that they trust I
too implicitly in the tender mercies of the I
North, we think it cannot be doubted. But
yet the consequences are the same We
believe it to be too true, that many of our
people are slumbering in false security,
and do not dream of their fearful condi
tion
And even at this day, after all the terri
tories a'e virtually taken possession of by
the North, and not one foot in the pos
sessi ti of the South, there are some a
mong us, who avoid the evils and dangers
which in their view, seem to threaten the
peace and security of the Union, are wil
ling to submit quietly to the so called
s home of adjustment, for fear forsooth,
that hereafter may be offered somethin!;
worse! They seem to forget that every
new exaction only ptopares the way fin
anolhev more exaacting. and that if they

yield to one, the way is but opened up for
fresh demands mote insolent and more de
grading. Every backward step on the
pait of the South, so far, has been imme
diately followed by an advance on the
pai tof the North. There is no cessasion
to the spirit of fanaticism.
It is very evident that such a policy as
this, can never lead to favorable results.
Such a course can never secure protection
to the rights and institutions of the South.
Such a course can never retard the move
: ments or check the encroachments of the
| Free boilers in their mad crusade against
i l * )e institution of slavery. Such a course
j never pacify the country or presetve
j the Union,
i he submissionists of the present day
by their timid policy and readiness to
yield to any and all exac'ions, and willing,
ness to adopt any measure proposed un
der the name of an adjustment or palia
tive, are pursuing a course directly oppo
site to that which wou and secure a just and
practicable settlement ofthe present dtffi
culty. But still they say that their object is
to avoid the evilsand dangers which threat
en the peace and securi’y of the Union.
lint will these evils and dangers lie avoid
ed by submitting to injustice and enduring
sacrifices and wrongs with Job like pa
tience? History, the chronicler of the
past, furnishes no example of a people ob
taining their rights by a submissive and
cowardly course of policy. The past ex
peiience of the wot Id is full of warning
on this point. And in the present instance,
there is nothing to hope from the justice or
magnanimity oftheNorth. A section,which
was bound to us by fraternal feelings and
fi a ernal ties, is now fast becoming es
tranged. Instead of a fiietul and ally, it
is becoming a jealous rival The proper
ty o! Southern men is now wished to he
excluded fiom a territory larger than all
the Stales of the South, and this, too, by
act of Congress. To this territory the
South has as clear and just a right as the
North, and yet we find some Southern
men ready to sanction the deed, and hope
iu this way to secure peace and harmony
to the Union. This mete hope—this less
than bare possibility—this pitiable faith in
palliatives, will at last change to hitler
disappointment, and end in uner futility j
It caunot result in nothing beside.
But these evils and dang rs which threa
ten the Union—what causes them? Has
the Sontli created them l Is it her
fault that clouds darken the Heavens?
Have any deoils of her’s caused the storm
cloud to grow blacker and blacker, and
gather in threalemngfury over our heads?
VV e ask, wiu t ate these evils and where
do'.hey come foun ? Will die submissi' n
ists answer. Should they do so. could any
answer be given than that the skirts ofthe
•South are clear in this matter, ami that it
is no faul of hers that the Union is endan
gered. If it can lie shown, that the South
has caused them, we will also he submis
sionists, and strive to render justice in any
case, where the South can he shown to
have acted unrighteously. But while we
folly believe that the present difficti! y has
been caused by unprovoked and fiagratn
Northern aggressions upon the const ir u
ti mal rights of the South, rather than be
submissionists, we would rejoice iti the
names (with which we have been honored)
of “Agitatois” and “U 1 ras. ’ Such names
o us are invested with no terror. Th*;*
hi i ll it no shame, and, in fact, are thrj surest
evidence that up have done what little
we could, to subserve the cause of the
South, and arouse the spirit of resistance
to unjust and unconstitutional measures.
This whole difficulty can be easily settled.
As soon as the North withdraws her
unjust and insolent demands, and is dis
posed to art in a spirit of conciliation for
the settlement of the difficulty, agitation
will cease. until then, never !
Mr. A. H. Stephens’ Letter.—As op
portune to the times, wffen Mr. Stephens
will soon be to home on the stump, preach
ing submission to the people ofGeorgia, we
re producebis Clinton letter of 1848. The
Columbus “Enquirer” published this letter
in an “extra!’just before t’>e Ust Presiden
tial election. Just now, that paper would
be glad if the memory of it were buried in
the ocean.
The burthen of Mr. Stephen’s argument
then, was, that be never would consent to
a compromise that did not repeal the Mex
ican anti-slavery law; and the fact of his
position now is, that he HAS consented to
such a compromise, and is advising his pen
pie to sutnbit to it. Bah ! It is a favorite
idea of Mr. Toombs when his constituents
kick up and get a little restive, “ Pshaw !
they know who they belong to.” Although
Mr. Stephens is not such a blunt rollicking
fellow as bis friend “Bob,” and does not
b'urt out his contempt of the popular in
telligence quite so boldly; yet his opinion
of the gullihiTity of people must be equal
to bis colleague’s,if he expects tod re tail
to their satisfaction, his errors then and his
suhmissionism now.— Columhus Times.
The Convention.— Mr. Toombs a
Candidate. — We perceive by a commu
nication in the Augusta Chronicle, that the
Hon. Robert Toombs, the modern Hamil*
car ol valiant speech and hard swearing
devotion to Southern tights, is suggested
as one ofthe candidates for the Conven
tionon the ticket.
Every body can see through the tran
sparent clap trap and humbug which is at
tempted iu the use ofthe term Union. It
will not deter sensible men who consider
the South wronged, from voting for
Southern Rights men for the Convention:
But it may be as well to quote a sentence"
or two of caution on this point, from the war
eech of Mr.Toombs.delivered 27th Feb
ruary last, on the President’s message
communicating the Constitution of Cal
ifornia.
“This cry of Union is the masked hat
teryf oi >i behind which the Constitution and
the rights of the South are to he assailad."
•'Let the Sruth mark the man, who is
[for the Union at every hazard, and !o the
last extremity. When the day of her
peril comes, he will he the imitator of that
historical character, the b ise Judean who

pearl richer than all his trih
Forcible words, and t rut ful We leave
the application with our readers.—Augus
ta Constitutionalist, 29 th ultimo.
From the Mobile Tribune.
Backing Uct —We are gralifi and to
learn that some of those who signed a call
jforamee ng inthi.scity to rejoice overthe
• admission of Calif rnia, the passage of the
bill to dismember Texas and make free
soil ofthe part dismembered, have since
withdrawn their names. They signed
the call in haste, and without knowing or
inquiring in o ils exact import. On find
ing that such a meeting would he dis
graceful and injurious to the character and
business of the city like honest men and
good citizens they withdrew their names,
and have lhu3 refused to sanction it
The act is worthy of imitation, and we
trust that others will follow the example.
We shall presently publish additional
cxttacts from the abolition papers for the
purpose of showing our readers that those
who propose the meeting alluded ;o, will
ave nothing to do but ech back the shout
and joy ofthe free soilets Says one of
‘he Ab lition papers: the admission of
California “ is an emphatic and substantial
triumph!” Says another: "It is a great
triumph!” Says a third,’’California is now
admitted as one < f he States ofthe Union,
made such unquestionably by the anti-slave
ry pmerr f the North. By sufficient ener
gy,” it says, "both New Mexico and Utah,
may he saved for f.eeso;!,” !t :s possible
that the same agitation, which has secured
California,” may throw freesoil enough
into much of wliat is given toTexas secure
to it hereafter freedom as a State, “slave
ry,” it continues, “is about to lie dri\><i
from the District of Columbia, the
system,"by these measures cessed by Con
gress,” lias been shaken to its foundation.”
“All this,” it says, “the hated anti-slaver
and freeso'.’, labors ofthe country have done
and future ages alone can estima’e its
Value. While we hare no I effected all we
desired, wc have still reason to he grateful
to that favorable Providence which has
crowned our efforts with so much success" —
asuccess Mobile is requested to shout over
with all its might ; one extract we copy
again in full as follows.-
But no man must put off his armor ex
cept in exchange for the winding sheet!
Work enough is before us and we have
acquired great advantages for doing it.
These must not be lost. If we endure to
the end, we shall conquer, the poor slaves
be tree,ourcountry redeemed and tiieworid
relieved of slavery’sterrible burden. It is
already circumscribed, exposed, condemn
ed and mus* fall. Who believes all that has
taken place to this object with the prayers
labors and sacrifices in its behalf have no
providential design! It is not so. Slavety
is to cease—that is what it means and no
thing elsfe. Courage then and frith.”
These are the strains of abolitionism,
c mgratulatiug itself and the world of fan
aticism with what has alrea'dy been secur
ed through Congress, as a signal of greater
triumphs. ‘ No man must cease work,” it
declares; “we have already acquired great
advantages by our work, and these advan
tages must not he he lost. If we hold out
tor the end. we shall conquer and slavery
be foiever abolished e ery where !”
Is it proper we ask that Alabamians
should join in giving eucouragmentto these
fanatics by approving what they thus re-
joice over as the signal of the success of
their great ulterior ends—the total hu
miliation and destruction of the South?
Again. Throughout all the Free States,
the passage of the Calif<#nia bill is receiv
ed as a great and joyful] triumph. Tri
umph over what ? let the reader ask liifh
selt. Not certainly over the North. Is
it fit that Southern men should join in this
triumph ?
Still again. We are not aware of a
single paper, or active politician in the
free Slates that is not for freeaoil. There
is not one of these papers or politicians
that does not rejoice over the whole series
of measures which they are called on to
approve. The ultras or abolitionists, ex
cept the admission of California, condemn
these measures. Why? Simply because
they do not secure them as much as they
want, and are resolve to have. The Tex
as boundary bill, they reject because Con
, gress agrees to pay $10,000,000 for a ter-
I tory which they intended to obtain with
out pay. Why throw away this large
sum, they argue, when we might have
taken the soil wihout paying for it? So
on the rest of the measures. They were
not abolition enough to suit their purpos
j es, and secure their intentions respecting
: all the territory over which the United
States have any control. The moderate
Frew S' ilers every where are satisfied
with what they have gained, while the ul
tras are more than satisfied with the ad.
mission of California, from which the slave
holder is excluded as though he were a
felon or a brute.
Is it proper, we ask sgain, that Mobile
should join in those shouts of victory
which are raised in the Free States as
a piesage of the total downfall of the
South ?
Anorher Step Forward.— Not more
than a week ago, we drew attention to the
fact, that the proposition in the Seriate to
abolish slavery in the District of Columbia,
received five votes. We then said, that
at the next session it would get twice as
many, and that in two years it would pass.
Well, the question has come up again,
already; and sooner, even, than we expect
ed. Mark the progress in only owe week.
We learn from the correspondent of the
Charleston Courier,that on the 19th Sept.
Mr. Hale moved the commitment of an
agitation hill, with irissructions to provide
for the abolition of slavery in the District,
Wesuffei the correspondent to tell the
sequel:
‘Hale’s proposition was put to avote.and
to the surprise of all, it got nine votes, viz
Baldwin of Connecticut, Davi.i and Win-
throp so Masschusetts* Ewing and Chase
of Oil in Horr.lir: -f n_.l __ .r u?:_
11 ilaiiiiui tuu.Hie, l/uugtj ui iv 10*
consin, and of New Hampshire and
Seward. The other day it bad five votes
that of Mr Upham of Vermont,
who was not to-day present.—So there are
10 votes already for this mischievous pro
position. The negative vote was forty-on#.
So this measure has doubled its affirma
tive vote in a week. Now there is scarcely
a suhmissionist in tbe Sooth who has not
said we will resist if slavery is touched in
the District.’ Well it is touched aud wil]
he abolished. Can any one doubt it ?
Can the issue be staved off? Then why not
meet it now? Why wait till We are weaker
—till we are hound hand and foot? Now
is the accepted time. If we do not resist
now, we never will. —Columbus Times.
CoßttEcr Speaking. —We advise all
young people to acquire in early life the
habit of using good language, both i©
speaking and writing, and to abandon as
early as possible the use of slang words
and phrases. The lortger they live the
more difficult the acquisition of such lan
guage will be; and if the golden age of
youth—the proper season for the acquisi
tion of language—he passed in its abuse,
the unfortunate victim of neglected educa
tion very probably will be doomed to talk
slang for life.
Money is not necessary to procure this
education. Every man has it in his pow
er. He has merely to use the language
which he reads, instead of the slang which
he hears; to form the popular speakers,
writers and poets of the country; to treasure
up choice phrases in his memory, and
habituate himself to their use, avoiding at
the same time that pedantic precision and
bombast Which bespeaks rather the weak
ness of a vain ambition, than the polish of
an educated mrud.
There is no man, however low in rank,
who may n >t materially benefit his financial
condition by following this advice, and
cultivating at the same time such morals
I and manners as correspond in charactei
1 with good words.

A Fugitive Tribute to th 4 Memory of tbe
HON. JOHN C. CALHOUN:
I
“Death opens wide the gates offame, and
shuts close the doors ofenvy after.” Calum
ny quick of scent and sharp of tooth, stops
its hunt at the portal of the grave. This
shining mark which has latoly fallen be
fore the shaft of death, ennvered in its
signal fall a nation’s heart, and takes from
among the living all envy, and transfers to
the dead the true meed of merit. So lin*
it been, and so will it continue to be with
the illustrious patriot and statesman, the
lamented Calhoun ! His life, character
and services belong to posterity. In the
grateful remembrance of that posterity,
will they live, as lung as “earth bears a
plant, or the sea rolls a wave.”
“Nothing c«n cover hit high fame but Heaven !
No pyramid get off his memory
But the eternal nubstance of hia own greatnefi.'
Ilis private life was a model of virtue,
carrying with it the simplicity of arlessness
stripped of affectation and void of guile.—
The philosophy of his morals plucked up
vice by the roots, and administered to the
soul that medicine which purifies the im
perfections of tiie flesh.
His public life was a counterpart of his
private, marked by a stern, inflexible in
tegrity, a deep sincerity of motive, and a
straightforwardness of purpose. He was*
in the most enlarged sense of the term, the
standard of an American statesman.
In the discharge of the many and ardu
ous duties devolved upon him by bis coun
try, while coming up to the highest ex
pectations of his friends, with the distrust
ful modesty ofTerenCe.he felt "homo sum;
nil htlmdni a the atiinum." However
much others dissented from his political
views, all awarded to him perfect exemp
tion from duplicity and intrigue. The
legerdemain of policy formpd no part of
his life. Ilis course was always open,manly
and bold; his sentiments pure, elfevatod
and noble ; his language terse, chaste and
pointed; his genius inventive, rapid and
powerful; his analysis severe, searching
and profound; his logic compact, stern and
iron bound; hia arguments close, finished,
and locked to h?s premises; hi* capacity
for generalization,and condensing the larg
est amount of thought in the fewest ntirq,-
berofwords, unsurpassed. His snaecTiea
are the highest monuments of ftrtrid known
to any age, and will stand in their solid
grandeur, so long ag the*forco of language
and the triujjjpTi of intellect survive mat
ter.
Graspiag the private worth, the socinl
virtues, and tbe towering intellect of John
Caldwell Calhoun in one picture, you have
the beauties of earth combined with the
alii mutes of Heaven.
His country mourns his loss, and his
country has no man to stand in his shadow !
He died with his arms around the pillars
of the Constitution.and with a prayer upon’
his lips that his embrace could continue one
brief hour longer. The angel of death was
inexorable, and he was torn from the idol
of his political devotion. Jn the separation,-
the constitution has lost one of iwproudest
ornaments; the rights of man a fearless
advocate; and his own native, cherished
South, the champion of her cause, the
right arm of her strength. Terrible is
such a calamity at this perilous juncture!—
The guiding star of the South has fallen,
and twilight rests upon the horizon ! But
whatever may be the destiny of the South -
ern Slates, and the fate of all the S itos,
they have no truer friend left behind than
the one who has gone. In the fullness of
time, his services will be owned, bis saga
city appreciated, and the name of John
Caldwell Calhoun enrolled in the capi.
tol, side by side with the Conscript
Fathers ofthe Republic. B. £.•
