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.” A VIRGINIAN. Fauquier Cos. Va. July 21, 1843. Tkade, Enterprise and Business op St. Louis. —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. Philadelphia Sun. 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.

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.

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. 3 I*rices llebured per Cent.
