the Aactrine of Um greatest happiness to therefore imperfect Our readers may,
tbs greatest number. One hundred per
sons hare no right to have happiness at
the expense and injury of ninety-nine. If
slavery is not best for the African, and
doesn’t increase his happiness, it ought to
be abolished. If it does, then our insti
tutions are founded in nature—we are ful
filling our destiny and we should stand
njpoo this higher law. He wouldn’t sup
port' a'Constitution that was inconsistent
with this higher law cf nature. And un
til the “ieopud can change his spots, or
the Ethiep his skin,” don’t tell me, said
he, that |t is unlawful to hold slaves.
He had been asked, with these views,
what fete become of the country? Fa
naticism might be spreading at the North;
but slavery is getting stronger and will
cqnthtue to get stronger whether in the
Union or out of it
Ifthe worst must-come, let it come—he
was not afraid of the consequences; in or
out of the Union slavery will grow strong
as time goes on.
When he entered Congress, the Missou
ri ^Compromise excluded slavery from the
Territories; now it is not excluded from
a portion of land over which floats our na
tional flag!
' Ho alluded to the anti-slavery sentiment
which prevailed in Virginia in the early
days of the Commonwealth ; and argued
that it is useless to war against the- pro
gress of events. Every restriction has
been taken off of slavery ; a fugitive slave
law has been granted. There arc more
men at the North to-day who believe in
the social and moral condition of slavery
than when he went to Congress. AYilber-
force’s theory has foiled; Carlyle has re
pudiated liis abolition doctrines; and even
the London Times has partially kept up
with him in his opinions. Freedom for
the negro has been tried in the West India
islands, and foiled, and the defect is now
attempted to be remedied by the introduc
tion of Chinese coolies, under the title of
“apprentices.” They bad. better resort
to the original state of things.
All, he continued, depends upon our
selves, for the future. With our constitu
tional rights, and with the present princi
ples of political policy, in his judgement,
we arc just as safe, and even safer than
we ever were. We must remain united;
if we are ever divided, our day of doom
will surely come. All nations when they
cease to grow begin to die; we should
then endeavor to expand and grow. Cen
tral America and Mexico, are open to us.
He docs not believe that the country is
large enough; but believes that a diversi
ty of interests will strengthen the govern
ment better than if all were homogeneous.
He looks forward in the future to the ac
quisition of Cuba; but was never in favor
of paying Spain much money for it—not
more than one or two millions of dollars.
If Cuba wants to come into the Union, he
would not ask Spain ; but would be in fa
vor of repealing the neutrality laws, so as
to give our people a chance to help her in
her wish.
He saw no reason why we should pay
thirty millions for it; wo have already
6pent several millions in preventing Amer
icans from going to Cuba—and he wants
the United States to quit holding the Is
land while Spain sinks it (Cries of go
on.! go on!)
The best time to quit, resumed the
speaker, is when nobody wants you to
quit What I have said about the prin-
ples of slavery is a new thing. Philoso
phers never thought much upon a govern
ment founded on nature. All things now
are slow in development &c. lie alluded
to the theories of Copernicus, of Gallileo,
of Adam Smith, of W atts, of Newton, of
Fulton—to the steamboat, the telegraph,
Ac.—all were slow in development; and
the snino principle will apply to our gov
ernment
He would now take his farewell leave.
My race is done, said he, my career
is ended—whether for good or for evil
the record has been made up. He has
endeavored to perform bis trust to the
best of his ability. He docs not quit the
services of his constituents from discon
tent ; for he is perfectly satisfied, if they
are.. Ho would not change a single act of
his past life, and was perfectly willing
that his public acts should be squared, by
the rule of the Grecian statesman: “On
all occasions a public man should act not
only as If he thought the act was the best
that could be, but as if it was the rery
host that could be done.”
He would not say that he would never
hold office under anr emergency: for that
however, gather some idea of the views
and principles which the retired states
man carries with him into private life.
We presume the speech will be writ
ten out by Mr. Stephens, and furnished to
the press for-publication.
As soon as the speaking was over, the
loud mouth cannon was placed in Greene
Street, and loomed forth sixteen discharg
es—one for each year of Mr. Stephens’
service in Congress.
m THE DINNER.
At four o’clock, about two thousand
persons, a large. portion being ladies, as
sembled in the long spacious building of
the Savannah and Augusta railroad de
pot Six tables, reaching nearly the en
tire lenggth of the edifice, were supplied
with the substantiate of life, prepared un
der the charge of Mr. Daniel Kirkpatrick.
The dinner was abundant, well cooked,
and' a thousand more could have fared
sumptuously from the quantity of provis
ions provided for the occasion.
. After dinner, Senator Hammond was
called out and mada a few remarks—and
other gentlemen replied to calls. At the
time we were called off Mr. Stephens was
speaking.
Niagara River Crossed on a Tight
Rope.
The Buffalo ‘-Courier” gives a detailed
account of the feat by M. Blondin of walk
ing over Niagara river on a tight rope.
We make the following interesting ex-
tracks :
At 5 o’clock the daring Frenchman ap
peared at the head of the cable, and gave
the signal to fire the gun. He had doffed
his purple vest, cap, wig and trowsers,
and appeared bareheaded, in a flesh-color
ed shirt, tights and hose. Owing to some
mismanagement, it was found impossible
to fire the gun, and after waiting impa
tiently for a few minutes, Monsieur waved
his band to the band which struck up an
inspiring strain, and Monsieur boldly star
ted down the rope to the yawing chasm
at a slow but steady pace, while every
man, woman and child, held their breath.
Blondin himself was probably the cool
est and most indifferent person in sight of
the two nations. The sun about twenty
degrees above the horizon, hot and bras
sy, darted his fierce rays full in his face,
but he calmly and quietly pursued his
way, using his balance pole, which was
of enormous length, but very slightly.—
On reaching the fourth guy, about one
hundred feet from the bank, he paused—
sat down—then laid down calmly on his
back, at which the whole of the im
mense throng were visibly affected with
palpitation of the heart, and “even the
boldest held his breath.”
After a moment’s interval, Monsieur
again arose and walked nimbly, stopping
only once more until he reached nearly
the centre of the gorge, where he balanced
himself on one foot, again laid down to
rest, and finally sat up, beckoning to the
Maid of the Mist, which was below with
a large number of people on board, to ap
proach him. At the same time he drop
ped a line to which, when the steamer
came up, was attached a small bottle of
w-inc, which he hoisted up and emptied.
The conclusion of this was greeted with a
loud applause from the assembled throng
on both sides of the river. From this
point the Frenchman made his way with
out stopping, and at a rapid pace until he
reached the opposite end, when the long
pent up anxiety of the crowd found vent
in loud and oft repeated cheers. As he
approached the Canadian side an excel
lent brass band greeted him with “Get
out of the Wilderness.” The whole time
occupied in crossing the chasm, including
the stoppages, was seventeen and a half
minutes. At six o’clock and ten minutes,
precisely, a shout from the Canadian side
recalled the spectators (or what there was
left of them,) to the river bank, from which
Mons. Blondin was beheld setting out on
his return. This time the passage was
made much quicker, as the daring artist
only paused once, in the middle of the
river, to rest himself, making the passage
in exactly seven minutes. Ho was re
ceived on landing with shouts of applause,
the band playing “Yankee Doodle.” We
learn that Monsieur Blondin will give an
other performance of a similar kind on the
Fourth of July, (Monday,) when the prob
ability is, that there will be a largely in
creased attendance.

COMMENCEMENT SERMON.
The annual Commencement Sermon at A . R. Wright, Lewis Tumlin and
this College was preached on Sunday last | g ty Chastain were placed before the Con-
by President Rambaut, from the follow j vent joh. On the first ballot CoL T. had
ing text—EccL 9th verse, 11th chap.: j th e largest number of votes, but not a suf-
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; f5 c j enC y to secure his nomination. We
lot thv lioort fhppr tlipp in indavs ... . .. f . . .. .
and let thy heart cheer thee in the days
of thy youth, and walk in the ways of
thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes *
but know thou, that for all these things
God will bring thee into judgment”
He stated that there were two interpre
tations to the text: the one was that the
young would follow the propensities of
the heart, and that this might be con
strued into an exhortation to follow these
inclinations, as had been urged by some:
that the other and more sensible view
was a warning, for God for all these
things would bring them into judgment.
Many passages of scripture were cited to j insert them,
prove this point, on which he mostly j
dwelt. He urged and fully explained the
doctrine of total depravity of the human
heart, and that by following the inclina
tions of the heart young men would be
led into moral disorders—that hundreds
of these snares were constantly besetting
their path, when they least expected it:
that while mankind had some redeeming
qualities, all were prone to sin : that man
was both spiritually and carnally inclin
ed, and that the development of thc one
or the other depended in some measure
upon the proper and logical training of
thc mind. In this connection he had ref
erence to a number of noted characters of
the world, among whom were Augustine,
Locke and others.
Infidels, he said, deny that there was
any conscience—that conscience was the
result of education. He stated broadly
and in plain terms, that the man who de
nied the existence of conscience was a
knave or a fool. On this point he dwelt
freely, and urged that judgment was ex
ercised in matters of conscience : that all
beings rational had a sense of dependence:
that this was clearly proven to exist from
the fact that all looked forward to a judg
ment day, and that while there were ma
ny sins which the judgment of the laws
of the land could not reach, yet there was
a day coming when all these should be
exposed to light Among these he spoke
fully and freely ofhypocrisy, double-faced,
trebled-tongued, and held it up to view
in its most glaring and hideous features :
showing that a day would come when he,
who could smile in your face, and at thc
same time stab you to thc heart would
be judged by his deeds and the inmost
secrets of his heart be exposed to a gazing
throiig—that though the hypocrite might
pass here free, yet surely and certainly
God would call him to judgment and
mete his portion with those cast into outer
darkness.
Ingratitude was another of these sins,
will not go through the numerous ballot-
ings as to the varying success of the sev
eral aspirants. After the 17th ballot and
no choice having been made, a motion to
adjourn sine die was made. CoL J. W. H.
Underwood, of Rome, then made a speech,
urging harmony, and the Convention ad
journed over to the next day. On the re

Post Office Department
The recent disclosures of the numerous
frauds perpetrated at the Post Office in
Philadelphia lias aroused thc Post Master
light; and should he succeed, which we'
hoptfthe will, he will not only gain credit
for himself, but add another laurel to the
Administration. If there be any branch of
our Government that needs a corrective
and supervising power it is the Post Of.
fice. Since Congress, limited the salary
of Post Masters to a maximum there can
be no question but thousands of dollars
have found their Way into tiie pockets of
Postmasters, deputies and clerks which
should have gone to swell thc Treasury.
In speaking of this matter the Charleston
News says:
“Mr. Holt will probe this matter to the
bottom, and establish a more rigid system
of accountability, whereby a saving to thc
Treasury will be made of many hundreds
of thousands of dollars a year.
These examinations, it is also thought,
may probably require the displacement of
several hundred deputy postmasters who
have fraudulently got possession of more
than the amount of their proper salaries.
Letters will shortly be addressed to the
larger offices throughout the country up
on the subject”

The final exercises of this Institution
closed on Thursday last The entire pro
ceedings were interesting, but especially
so on the test day. The graduating class
acquitted themselves handsomely in the
preparation and reading of their composi
tions.
There was a large audience to listen to
the address of Dr. Felton, and none who
were in attendance, we are sure, but what
were well repaid. Having no means of
taking notes and not being in distinct hear

any outline of it Those who were more
favorably situated speak of it in high

Hen. Shields’ Home.
The honorable Senator from Minnesota
was honored with a public reception when
he arrived at his home, Faribault, in that
State. In his speech on thc occasion he
is reported to have said:
“ I made my pre-emption, as you all
know, on the Faribault prairie. I paid
for it with my own warrant which I re
ceived for my services in Mexico, the
only bounty which I ever received from
the Government of the United States for
those services. And I will venture to
say that I am the first General of thc
United States army who ever made his
own pre-emption with his own warrant
Now this I think, is a home to be proud
of—a home which I hold sacred, because
I purchased it with my own blood. ”

only Bulow’s corps, and including those
who only fell on the field, the loss in kill

the young ladies indiscriminately, plainly
showed that there was no collusion be
tween teachers and pupils, and that noth
ing but a thorough knowledge of the stu
dies could have prompted answers so rea
dy. It would be useless to attempt to
speak of the classes separately, but We
deem it sufficient to say that all did well,
very well—from the lowest to the highest.
Such arc the fruits of competent, faithful
teachers.
On Wednesday night the young ladies
gave a Concert to a house crowded almost
to overflowing. Though the performance
was entertaining, the perplexing buzz and
hum of the thoughtless caused such con
fusion as to cut short the exercises before
the programme was completed,—thus
doubtless robbiug our ears of much of the
sweet melody of sounds prepared for us.
Thursday being Commencement day,
the multitude began to assemble at an
early hour, and soon thc house, was filled
to overflowing with a most genteel audi
ence, with countenances bright and hearts
buoyant with anticipation. A few gentle
touches from the musical Angel's of Prof.

ferring the degrees was appropriate,
chaste, parental and affecting—at the
close of which Dr. W. II. Felton deliver
ed an address, truly a treat to all who
heard it, and such as it has seldom been
our privilege to hear: suffice it to say that
it was one of Dr. Felton’s happy efforts,
and wc do hope that it will be given to
thc public in a more durable form. After
the benediction the large assembly began
slowly to disperse, all seeming to feel well
repaid for their attendance.
In conclusion, we would bespeak for
this College a liberal patronage. Its sev
eral chairs seem to be most fortunately
Riled with an able and devoted faculty:
and we most cheerfully recommend it not
only to the Methodists, but to the coun

No movements of the contending arn.ies
are reported to have taken place since the.
battle of thc 24th June.
The details of the Iasi battle have not
been received, nor any estimates of the
losses.
Thc Austrians and Sardinians admit
that their losses have been very great.
Napoleon says in a dispatch to Paris,
that he took six thousand prisoners, three
flags, and thirty cannon.
. The Austrians had re-crossed thc Min-
cio.
Gen Hess has been appointed comman
der in chief.
A dispatch of the 25th from Napoleon
to thc Empress Eugenie, says : “Thc en
emy withdrew last night. 1 slept in the
room which was occupied in the morning
by the Emperor of Austria. Gen. Neil has
been appointed Marshal of France. Thc
Austrians crossed thc Mincio for thc pur
pose of attacking us with their whole force,
but were obliged to abandon their posi
tions, and withdrew to the left bank of
the river, after blowing Up the bridges of
Gorta. AYc took thirty pieces of cannon
and seven thousand prisoners.”
Private dispatches say that thc Aus
trians had thirty-five thousand men plac
ed hois du combat; that the}’ lost sixteen
flags and seventy-five cannon.
No circumstantial account of the battle
had reached Paris; but private dispatch
es intimated that the French army had
suffered so severely as to be unable to ic-
sumc the olfensive. A'ague rumors place
the French loss at twelve thousand in kill
ed and wounded.
The.battle was fought at Salferino.
The Austrians were making prepara
tions ior another battle, under General
Hess.
The Austrians acknowledge that they
were obliged to retreat after suffering
such extraordinary heavy 1 >sses.
Thc Emperor Napoleon is reported to
have been constantly in the hottest part
of the battle.
The Emperor of Austria it is stated,
will soon return to Vienna on important
business.
.Large re inforcements are- constantly
leaving France, and an attack on Yicr.na
was expected on the 28th of June.
One hundred and seventy-fire thousand
Austrian reserve troops are on their way
to Italy, and they are called the flower of
