,t >of Georgia, whigs ns well as republicans,
‘ n0tc ilicni well. They are not the opinions

"t whig leader: neither do they emanate
from a

! . ] \Vhigg er y an( l Federalism—Boston.—
, ament here upon such declarations is unne-
Cissirv- The reader cannot fail to make the
ocrinfercncc and wespeak to]inteIligeut mdd
a d Southerners—judge ye of their import!
•* It will he admitted to be a general prin-
■ 1« of morals that every man who foresees
v jl on j can prevent it, and does not choose
**nrcrent it, is himself responsible for that evil;
W nd 1 Would apply that remark not only to the
Vgtiro American parly, but by an awful op-
plication to another party that exists among us.
T|i»re could not have been « man in the Uni-
• Sjgtct who did not see that in withholding
vote from the Whig candidate he aided di-
Ztiy the election of the Locofoco candidates
for President 1D d Vice President, and that the
choice of these Locofoco candidates must in-
critably result in the Annexation of Texas.—
Was it not proclaimed from every lull-top ?
It was told to Mr. Birney and his followers
Uin and again; ‘-If the Whig candidate is
chosen, Texas is out, and you know it; if he
j, not chosen, Texas is in, and you know it.”
JJut they said, *'we do not vote for Mr. Polk.”
Very well- But > ou l ’ 10 nicaiis Of preVeri-
tin" the annexation of Texas ; you knew your
t ,v*i power. By joining tluise as anxious as
you are, or as you profess to be, to prevent it,
you could prevent it: If you did not join
them it would take place. You did not join
them, and it did take place.
Gentlemen, tlfs is a subject on which I have
Jeep feeling—very deep feeling ; and I think
it must stanJ on the pages of history as the re
corded judgement of mankind, that those among
u3 who asserted themselves in a peculiar de
cree friends to universal liberty, have, by their
oiro deliberate act, fastened the chains of sla-
Yerv on a great portion of the black race over
a vast extent of tins continent. Il is to me
the most mournful and most awful reflection.
Iknowtliat thousands of gentlemen who took
such a course, say that they maant well. They
meant well. 1 am not to scrutinize their mo
tives ; they must answer for those elsewhere—
but 1 beseech them, now, not to full into anoth
er such mistake. It is thought, it is an idea,
I do not say how well founded, that there may
be yet a hope Pur resistance to the consumma
tion of the annexation of Texas, (Enthusiastic
applause.) 1 can only say, for one, that if it
should fall to my lot to have n vote on such a
qiestion, and l vote for the admission into this
Union of any State, with a Constitution, which
prohibits even the Legislature from setting the
bond man free, I shull never sIioyv my head
again, depend upon it, in Faneuil Hall. (Trc-
roenduous cheering.)
But, gentlemen, suppose it to be so ; suppose
the case in the ensuing session of Congress,
your members fairly ami freely protest against
the consummation of this annexation; why, how
are wo to stand in Massachusetts t Uow are
wo to stand in Massachusetts? Are we to
have the gentleman who is nominated by the
Loco Focos, the governor of the State, and
light the battle under Iris auspices ? By dis
sensions among ourselves, and ists of several
oilier candidates, are we so to prostrate our
selves? While we are to sustain these great
principles in Congress, aic yvc to be sustained
at home? No, gentlemen! Bull say again,
thiil everv mu i who gives a vote for any other
man ilmn George N- Briggs, does, in that re
aped, all in iiis power In weaken Die authority
with which his representatives in Congress can
stand up, and protest any longer against con-
fumniiiiiig this unn •x uion.”

| The New Orleans Daily Delta, of the Sth
j inst., says: “At an early hour yesterday morn-
I this distinguished individual, accompanied by J
I the Committee of Invitation from this city and a J
| deputation from Mobile, arrived at the lake end I
of the Poncliartrain Railroad in the mail boat i
, Creole. The committees, with their guests, re- 1
j mained at the Washington Hotel, where they j
breakfasted, till 11 o’clock, Yvlien they came to
town in a special train with two engines attached
placed at the disposal of the committee of ar
rangements, by the directors of the company. |
Mr. Calhoun’s reception by the vast multitude i
assembled at the Railroad Depot to greet Iris
arrival, was highly flattering and enthusiastic.
On leaving the cars lie was met by His Excel
lency Gov. Mouioiif Maj. Gen. Lewis and suit,
and by the city authorities, yvIio, in the person of
the Mayor, welcomed him to our city, in a brief
and pertinent uddress, which was responded to
by Mr. Calhoun, amidst the deafening cheers of
the immense throng who crowded around the
committee of Reception, lie was then conduc
ted to un open carriage, drawn by four magni
ficent greys, in which the Governor, Secretary
of State, and the Mayor of the City took seats.
The procession was then formed, the Leg ion
on the right and fire compnuics 9 and 10 on the
lettj and marched through the principal streets
of t he city; in accordance Yvitli the programme
winch we published yesterday; receiving a
salute from the PIhc6 d’Armes ns it passed, and
was dismissed in front of the St. Louis Hotel, j
where suitable apartments bad been provided
by the city authorities of their distinguished
guest,
'1 lie Bulletin of the same date* says “We are
authorised to announce that the Hon. John C.
Calhoun, the illustrious guest of New Orleans,
will be happy to receive, from ten o’ clock this
morning until two in the afternoon, at the St
Louis Hotel, all citizens who may desire to visit
him. He will beat the St.Charles at half-past
twd o’dock, and a collation will be prepared at
half-past three.”
Mobile, Nov. 5.
Mr. Calhoun.—This distinguished gentle
man reached our city yesterday, and took lodg
ings at the Mansion House. Information was
received early in the morning, by Capt. Kinney
of the Noxubee, that Mr. Calhoun was a pas
senger on board the H. Kinney, which was ex
pected in the course of the forenoon. The fine
steamer Montgomery was immediately charter
ed, and at half past 10 o’clock, the committee
of reception, attended by a large number of
gentlemen, and a band of music, proceeded up
the river to meet and escort the city’s guest to
the quarters that had been engaged for his ac
commodation. They met the H. Kinney.some
six miles above the town, and returned to the
wharves at about 12 o’clock, where a vast
crowd had assembled to welcome to our hospi
talities the min who has borne so conspicuous
and distinguished a part in the most interesting
events of our history during the last thirty
years:
From the wharf lie \Vas conducted to Iris
rooms at the Mansion House, where at 1 o’
clock lie was waited on by the corporate au
thorities: His Honor the Mayor greeted him
Yvitli a brief address, tendering him in behalf of
the city a cordial welcome, and inviting him to
our hospitalities, to which Mr. C. made a /bill
ing and appropriate reply. The remainder of
the day was spent in receiving the calls of citi
zens, nnd in fiank and Cheerful conversation.—
Hu is in excellent health and fine spirits, and al
though in his reception cVcry thing like show
or display was can fully refrained front, ho was
doubtless better pleased with the informal-, but
not less cordial greeting extended to him by all
classes of our citizens without distinction of
parly. He will leave here lot NcW Orleans
we understand on Thursday morning, on his
way to the Memphis convention.—Register.

John C. Calhoun.—Tlmre are a few men
to whom when there is real danger in uffirirs,
the eyes of the people instinctively turn for
guidance and help. In the midst of political
strife suclt men m-iy be ns much nnd even more
abused than leaders of a different characler.—-
There are other men who are elevated in times
of peace and prosperity, but when dark clouds
arise they arc instanty forgotten. Air. Cal
houn belongs to the first class, Hb is revifed
when in office, but lie is no sooner out of office
titan the people of all parties begin to desire his
return. True, must men at the North have
thought him wrung, sometimes; but no one
ever double! that us n statesman he belonged
to the very highest rank, and very few, if any,
however much they have 11 led to do so, Have
ever been really able lo expel from their minds
the conviction that he is an honest and sincere
patriot, and us m ich above most politicians in
moral, us he is in intcllcctu >1 greatness. When
the office of Secretary of State was made va
cant by the std nccidfiit On board the Prince
ton, and Air. Calhoun’s name was mentioned,
the whole country culled him to that station.—-
Now there is the .same desire that lie should re
turn to tfie Senate. Tito position winch lie
'took in llie Senate on the Oregon questi iu, Yvas
so profoundly wise, that the attention of patriots
through llie country was fastened to it with
strong a|>provn-!. .Now that the furious and
reckless portion of the people talk crazily of
injustice and war, that approval desires the re
turn of this statesman to the place Yvhere he
may again enforce the same councils of wisdom.

THE SMALL POX.
There have been two or three cases df Sdiall
Pox in the city. The disease was brought
here by a stage passenger from Macon, and
was communicated to two persons who travel
led with him, and to u negro yvIio waited on
Inm. All the cases have been removed out of
tire city, and having taken the pains to ascer
tain, Wc learn that there is not now a case of
lire disease in tire city. Tho cold and frosty
weather, nnd the precautions against its sprea
ding-, will we believe, arrest any further Conta
gion. We make this statement of facts for the
benefit of our country loaders, who are liable
to be alarmed by exaggerated reports. There
is very little uneasiness fell here, upon the sub
ject.
Dr. Hoxey confirms the above in the follow
ing, handed in, after our statement was in print.

Tuesday evening, Nov. lltli, 1815. f
The undersigned has tlio satisfaction to in
form the public that there docs not exist a sia-
gle case of Small Pox in the citv.
There are four cases in the Hospital, all do
ing well, two of the cases received the infection
from travelling in the stage from M icon with
tho gentleman who had the disease—and the
other was hi* nurse. All of them were i nme-
dialely removed to the Hospital.
Many rumors nre ie circulation. This state
