Newspaper Page Text
T^nrT.lt'x/indria Uazette, and repub
lished in the Richmond Enquirer of the
Ist. It cannot fail to secure an attentive
perusal. It breathes the sentiments of
many a Democrat, and has described so
fully and so eloquently some of our own
thoughts that we heartily give it a place
in this, the first No. of “The Enterprise.
The course it suggests to Mr. \an Buren
is one so honorable to the great states
man. and would be so beneficial to the
great cause, that we have for some time
looked forward to it with much hope,
and not without some expectation that
it will be finally taken. In this we are
also borne out by some remarks of the
Ex-President, found in another column.
Mr. Van Buren, for his fame, is in a
most fortunate position. Elected once
to the Presidency, he was run a second
time, and thongii beaten, (by what means
we all remember) a large portion of the
party are anxious to bring him forward
to a third contest. This proves the un
broken hold he has ou the affections and
confidence of the people, lie has, how
ever, rivals in those affections and in that
confidence, for there are others equally
distinguished and meritorious, who have
* pial seats of honor in the hearts of their
countrymen. A large portion of the
people are calling for them, asking to de
posit in their hands the exalted trust and
place upon their brows the chaplet of
honor. The party is somewhat divided
—Mr. Van Buren has it in his power to
speak peace to the troubled waters, and
by such a course to complete his own
giory, to ascend a height of fame yet un
attained by any save “ the Father ol his
Country,” to sit by the side of Washing
ton, having, like him, magnanimously
refused to receive what so many are anx
ious to bestow, and having like him also
proved how nobler it is to give than re
ceive—a height from whence he could
look down with pity and commiseration
upon the poor base, false-hearted attempts
of his political adversaries to crush him
forever—securely seated far beyond the
reach of the longest shaft drawn hy their
strongest arm—-a height from which, with
proud satisfaction, he could view the
marching of the great army who are to
fight the battle of free principles, and
know that its distractions had been healed
by his touch—could see them united and
moving on like a phalanx of invincible
veterans, conquering and to conquer.—
How noble such a course ! llow worthy
Mr. Van Buren.
But we must bring these remarks to a
close, and only add the letter of “A 4 ir
ginian,” which is accompanied by two or
three columns of notes by the Editor ol
the Enquirer, lor which of course we
have not room: there are, however, a
number of extracts in these notes, going
to show that Mr. Van Buren is still pop
ular. Now we do not like this—it looks
too much like the Whigs of IS ID, at
tempting to show by a hundred certifi
cates what, if true, every man in the
whole nation must have known long be
bet'ore, (that Gen. Harrison was brave.)
No it is no longer necessary to extract
from newspapers to let the people know
in what estimation the country holds that
patriot statesman, Mr. Van Buren—and
liis compeers who are spoken of for the
highest office in the gift of the people are
equally known and admired. Their ser
vices have been their country's—their
fame is all pervading-—no school boy
lias it now to learn, for
“ The waters murmur of their name;
The woods are peopled with their fame;
The meanest rill, the mightiest river,
Rolls mingling with their lame forever.”
From the Alexandria Gazette.
The ground which Mr. Ritchie takes
in relation to Messrs. Calhoun and Van
lliiren, seems to be altogether fair and
unexceptionable. 1 am ready to meet
him upon such ground and give him the
right hand of fellowship. lie says ; “we
would most cordially co-operate with him,
(“A Virginian,”) in electing Mr. Calhoun,
if he should be the candidate ot the Re
publican party, and would not “A \ ir
ginian,” equally assist us in electing Mr.
Van Buren ! 1 answer emphatically yes,
provided he receives the nomination from
a Convention so constituted as to express
fully and unequivocally the sentiment of
a majority of the party, [I.J 1 conceive
that it would be the duty of every Re
publican to support him, under such cir
cumstances. But would every Republi
can so act ? Are there not Democrats in
every State committed against Air. \ an
Buren—men who refused to vote for him
at the last election, and would he still
less inclined to support him in the next
men who have become thoroughly dis
satislied with him, and would choose
rather not to vote at all than to vote for
him? There is a deep rooted prejudice
against tiie man, which will always set
powerfully against him. [2.]
Air. Van Buren in the election of ISIO,
only got seven States out of the twenty
six, besides being defeated by a very
lartre majority of the popular votes, and
how can it he supposed that the mighty
tide of public sentiment which overwhel
med him then, will he turned in his favor
in 1844 ? AVliy has he become all at
once so popular? What has happened
to produce this result ? Are the people
anxious to acknowledge to Air. 4 au Bu
ren, that they have wronged him and
are willing to make amends for the inju
ry 7 ? True, it is, that public sentiment
is favorable to the cause of Democracy,
and so perhaps, it ever will he, hut ibis
in no manner removes the general pre
judice against Air. Van Buren, or restores
him to the confidence of the people. I low
then can we expect a different result from
that of 1840? It is important—nay, it
is indispensable to our interest, that we
should bring back into our ranks the dis
affected of IS 10. Should Air. Van Bu
ren be nominated hy a National Coi.v. n
-jjjo. X verily, believe that so far from ex-
able to carry Virginia
for him, but still it would lie impossible
to elect him. Ido not believe, however,
that a Convention so constituted as to do
ample justice to the wishes and views of
a majority of the Republican party, will
nominate Mr. Vail Buren lor the Presi
dency. [3.J
If Mr. Van Buren, forgetting his own
personal interests and looking exclusive
ly to the success ot his parly, would de
cline a nomination, the party would no
longer he divided, but would rally 10 a
man around the great Southern states
man and patriot, with the certain prospect
of a brilliant and enduring triumph.—
Such a step of patriotism, magnanimity,
and disinterestedness on the part of Mr.
Van Buren, womd secure to him, a fame
as lasting as the rock of ages ! Mr. Van
Buren lias enjoyed honors enough to sat
isfy the highest ambition. The Demo
cratic party have done every thing for
him which in reason or justice they can
do. They' have once elected him Presi
dent of the Lnited States, and afterwards
they supported him for a second term,
thus keeping out of the field the other
prominent men of the party for eight
years, and should he be run a third time,
these men who are quite as competent
and deserving as him-mis, would be kept
back for twelve years, unless, indeed,
their friends determining not to submit
to such an act of injustice, should bring
them out and give them an equal chance
with Mr. Van Buren lor the Presidency.
This might be done.
Mr. Vail Buren should never suffer
that party who have lavored him so high
ly to hazard their success in his nomina
tion. Let hi n for the sake of his party
and for the good of his country, withdraw
his claims—Let him throw his weight
and influence into the scale of him who
gallantly came to his assistance when he
most needed friends. This step would
be responded to by the great mass of De
mocracy, though 1 am aware that the old
party hacks would oppose it. In this
class 1 do not mean to include Mr. Ritch
ie. No, no. 1 have too much respect
for that distinguished, able and fearless
champion of Republican principles and
rights. llis is a higher destiny—it is to
command and not to obey. [I.J
ll Mr. Calhoun should lie selected as
the candidate of the Republican party 7 , he
will receive their united and rigorous
support. Every true Republican will
light under the banner of “Free Trade,
low duties, no debt, separation from
banks, economy, retrenchment and strict
adherence to the Cunstitulion.”
But, above all things, let us choose for
our candidate one who combines, in his
character all those elements calculated to
awaken that degree of enthusiasm and
personal interest for the man , so neces
sary 7 to carry him through the campaign
successfully. There is this happy com
bination in the character of Mr. Calhoun.
The Republican simplicity of bis man
ners—the noble and generous qualities
ol his heart—his constant readiness to
sacrifice self to principle and duty
—the unsullied purity of his private char
acter—lns lofty bearing—his virtue pat
riotism, and love of justice, are all calcu
lated to w.ii upon our esteem and affec
tions—and when we look to his far reach
ing sagacity, his profound knowledge ol
the science of government, his pre-emi
nent abilities as u statesman, his firmness,
decision and energy, his high-soukd in
dependence, and rare moral courage, we
have the surest guarantee that the great
and important interests of the Republic
would receive anew impulse, new life
and vigor, from the sound and whole
some measures of Ins administration.
The policy of Mr. Calhoun wou'd be
one of wide spread benificcnce; and like
the gentle dews of Heaven, would dis
pense its benefits equally to all. He
would call around him the sages and pa
triots of the land. He would place hon
est and efficient agents in every branch
of the public service, and bold them to
tile STRIC TEST ACCOUNTABILITY. He
WOll'.d RESTORE THE CURRENCY Rlld
introduce the most rigid economy in
to every department of the government.
II aving no ear for demagogues and syco
phants; and no unworthy motives to
control his conduct, fie would administer
the Government upon pure and elevated
principles, placing it upon its true Con
stitutional basis, and making it produce
all those great and glorious results con
templated by the wisdom of its illustri
ous founders.
But whether Mr. Calhoun ever reach
es the high destiny tor which he seems
to have been born or not, of this at least,
1 his friends may be assured : 11 is name
\ will go down to posterity ill a blaze of
I glory—it will live in the triumph of Re
publican principles—it will shine ill the
records ol immortality. Nor envy, nor
malice, nor slander shall ever tarnish the
lustre of his name !
“As some tall cliff that rears its awful form,
Swells the vale, and midway leaves the storm;
Though round its breast the rolling clouds arc spread,
Eierual sunshine settles on its head.”

—We understand that a locomotive is about to he
shipped from this city, lor the purpose of being placed
on the St. Louis Railroad, in the State of Missouri.
It will be the first one that has ever run on that road,
and it is exported for the e :press object of furnishing
tlu city of St. Louis with coal the ensuing winter.
It may not he generally known, hut it is no less a
fact, that this excellent Railroad is one of the most
| profitable in the Union. It has heretofore been trav
i t iled over by means of horse power only, therefore,
by the introduction of a locomotive it is calculated
that there will be coal to the amount of one million
I bushel per annum carried to St. Louis, being one
i half of all the produce which at present passes the
j Ferry at that city. The Railroad was formerly own
ed by the Hon. W. C Anderson, us St. Louis, but
it is uoxv in t ie hands of an enterprising capitalist.

IS h<Sw well seined,
amongst those who think, that tlx- diffu
sion of education, and the instilling of
pure principles of Morality, can alone
afiord a sure safe-guard to our republican
institutions. An effort, (which at the
time appeared enthusiastic and visionary,)
to combine the one with ihe oilier, and
thus to refine the heart while we enlight
ened the head, gave rise in our Slate to
three institutions ot learning, under the
protecting care of the three leading de
nominations of Christians. It has been
mv pleasant lot, during the past week, to
witness the Commencement Exercises
of Emory College, the Methodist Semi
nary; and as a friend of learning and a
patriot, 1 can but confess myself proud to
be able to testify to its advancement and
usefulness. Whether they can effectually
mingle the waters ofSiloah’s fount with
those that flow from the eternal springs
of Science and Knowledge, is a problem
vet to be determined, lint one tiling is
irue, a well of usefulness has been here
opened up, which combining with its
Sisters, and the mother Institution, our
own Franklin, will send forth streams of
learning to lertilize and make glad our
land.
Oxford, (the seat of the College,) is a
pleasant little village, imbed Jed as it
were amid the classic groves that sur
round tile College Buildings, with notu
ing of show or ostentation —peace uud
quiet seem the most striking features of
tue place. These, together with its hos
pitable inhabitants, and the deep religious
tone of the community, render this vil
lage well suited lor the site of a Seminary
lor the Education of Youth.
The exercises commenced with a Ser
mon from the Rev. E. L. Wittich, on
Sunday, the Kith inst. Not arriving un
til the day following, 1 was deprived the
pleasure of hearing this discourse, which
was universally approved by those who
were present.
On Tuesday evening, was the Exhi
bition ol tile Junior Class. The follow
ing are the names of the Speakers, and
their respective subjects:
John Thomas Hardeman, Macon, Ga.
Ol what has Georgia to boast !
E. 1). Pitts, iSetma, Ala. The pleas

J. F. Lawson, Burke Cos. Tendencies

\\ . J. Kennedy, Columbia, >S. C. Par
ty Spirit.
J. 11. Lyons, Newton Cos.
“ Os making many bonks there is no cnJ,
And much btudy is a weariness of the flesh.”
To remark upon each effort is impos
sible, and to distinguish between them,
would be invidious. The composition
of all was goad, the delivery easy, and
the modulation full and distinct. Much
may he expected from these voting gen
tlemen, at their next commencement,
should they continue to improve, during
the ensuing year. To Mr. Lyons, I
think l can promise a rivalry, even with
his distinguished President, should he
continue to cultivate his powers, of wit
and humor. A crowded audience, in a
large Methodist Church, honored their
youthful efforts, among whom I was hap
py to recognise his Excellency, Gov.
McDonald.
On Wednesday, at 11 A. M. were the
Commencement Exercises of the Gradu
ating Glass, of which I cannot say less,
than that they equalled the expectations,
that the Junior Exhibition bad excited
in my mind. The following are the
names of the Speakers, with their several
honors and subjects:
Rufus W. McCnne, Butts Cos. Ist
Honor, Salutatory Addresses.
James A. Maun, August-, Ga. The
obligations of Government to Educate
ihe Poor.
George T. Burton, Newton C . Fash
ionable Education of Females. [Ex
cused.]
John R. Billups, Columbus, Ga. Sci
ence applied to Agriculture.
11. H. McQueen. St riven Cos. 3d Hon
or. The love of Praise—its use and
abuse.
Irby B. Hudson, Eatonton, Ga. 3d
Honor. Ultraism.
W. C. Hodges, Columbus, Ga. 3d
Honor. “’Tis distance lends enchant
ment to the view.”
R. Watkins Lovett, Striven Cos. 2d
Honor. Atheism.
T. D. Hutcheson, Oglethorpe Cos. Ist
Honor. Valedictory.
After the conferring of the degree of
A. B. oil the Graduating Class, the Pres
ident, the Hon. A. 15. Longstreet, address
ed them for some time, in a peculiarly
appropriate and chaste oration. The ef
fect of delivering, instead of reading his
address, was very evident, and much
feeling was manifested on the parting of
the Preceptor and Pupils. I could but
remark during all the Exercises, the per
fect confidence which seemed to exist
between the Faculty and Students.
At 5 P. M. the annua! Oration before
the two Societies (Few and Phi Gamma,)
was delivered I v the distinguished Ad
vocate and Philanthropist, Joseph Henry
Lumpkin, Esq., who, for two hours in
a continued strain of E oquence “ made
war upon war.” To pay it the highest
j tribute of praise, will be to say, that it
was his finest effort. Those of our read
j ers who have ever heard him, can appre
ciate this criticism. Those who have
not. should avail themselves of the first
I opportunity.
