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 MACON, (GA.,) SATURDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 5, ISSO. 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 for thirtypieces of s lver, threw away a 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.
