■ Obsequies of Mr. Calhoun.
I Onr city has passed through a scene that
Ewill never be forgotten by those who witness
'Sed it. Grander displays have been often
Brnade, but the feature of this ceremonial was,
'Hthat it absorbed the whole thought, and soul.!
Hand presence of the city. All shared in it,
■and Charleston was as one house of mourning.
■The outward aspect of the city on Thursday
■ was very striking. Through the whole line
■designated for the procession, a distance of
Bmore than two miles, the public and private
■ buildings were draped with mourning, and
Sat many points presented a singularly impres
gsive spectacle. On this line of streets also
S was gathered, early on Thursday, nearly the
■entire population of Charleston, —at many
(places in immense throngs, but everywhere,
(grave, orderly, and almost noiseless. Other
□ parts of the city werte deserted, and one could
(walk the whole length of a street, meeting
[(scarcely an individual, the houses and gates
□all closed, and stillness reigning ab.soluie. The
{intensity and universality of the feeling which
Idrowned all other interests, which removed ail
straces of the common avocations of life, which!
[permitted only itself to have place and ex-B
Ipression, was that which gave to the cercmo K
Bnial so strange a solemnity at the time, anils
[will impress it so indelibly on the memory olg
Bihose wiio participated in it.
B There was another feature of this memor-K
Sable occasion, the importance of which to tlieH
■ grace and dignity, and consequently to th<g
■ impressiveness, of the ceremonial, cannot beg
(over-estimated. Very much was
(The programme of the movements and cere-13
□ monies was complicated and made up of many Is
Jparts. Yet there was no confusion, no otni.-Es
jsion, no mistake, to mar the decency and com-g
Ipleteness of any part. All was done as had®
■ been arranged, and a plan that seemed com-S
Ipiicated and difficult in the reading, unfoldedß
itself so harmoniously as to appear perfecllyl
simple in the performance. This is the high®
est praise of those public functionaries anfij
good citizens who gave their thoughts andj
labor to the ordering; and directing of the core-u
monies.
The arrival of the steamer Nina, bearing!
the precious remains of our beloved States-]
Iman, was a beautiful and touching commence-]
itnent of the solemnities. The Nina had bee;.:
[specially and most appropriately lilted up for,
[this mission, and Brought from Wilmington
(the remains, with the several Committees]
[that accompanied them. On her arrival all
[the bar, the Metamora and the Pilot w-r/ out]
Ito meet her. The mail steamer Gov. Dudley,!
[the Revenue Cutter also joined her; and the]
I whole, with measured movement, their colors!
[at half-mast, and the Cutter firing minute]
Iguns, passed up nearly the entire length ofi
Ithe city, to the landing place at Smith’s wharf.l
|The Committee of the Senate, having in|
[charge the remains of Mr. Calhoun, were!
[Messrs. Mason pfVa. Berrien of Qa, Davis of 8
Miss. Dickinson of N. Y. Clarke of R. Lands
Dodge of lowa. With them, by invitation,!
were Messrs. Venable of N. C. and Holmes!
ofS. C.
At the landing place the Special Guard ofg
Honor took charge of the remainsand bearing!
them up from the boat placed them in the!
funeral car provided for the ceremonial. A J
detachment of the military, consisting of thej
Marion Artillery, the German Fusiliers andj
the Washington Light Infantry, ail under com-j
mand of Capt. Manigault, formed theescorij
of the funeral train to the Citadel Square |
The Evening News furnishes the following!
idescriptton of the hearse, or magnificent fun< 6
ral car vhich was drawn by eight horses]
clothed in deep mourning, and each held by?
a guide:
“The hearse at the ba‘e was sixteen feel 9
long, ten feet wide, and six feet high, with a>: jj
elevated platform, twelve feet long, seven feeiS
wide and raised two feet above the base;!
eight pillars springing from this platform, an<i|
surmounted by a cornice twelve inches deep.B
The ridge of roof was elevated two feet.j
finishing off with plumes four feet high—|
making the whole height from tbe gfoui.d tog
tlie top of the plumes twenty-three feet. |
“The base was covered within six inches!
of the ground with heavy folds of black cloth.i
with deep fringe at the bottom, and black and?
white twisted cord on rolls of black crape aig
the top with festoons ot black and white crape I
hanging from rosettes of crape. The elevated!
platform was snangl-id in a tnrre OS the bt>«hl|
.with deep festoons ot black crupe, secured by£
Icordjj with heavy black tassels. The eiglnj
pillars were covered with black crape made]
white crape. The above platform inside tlipj
pillars was elevated by three steps, the whole]
covered in black, with twisted black and whiti I
cord at the intersection of the steps, and onj
the top of these steps was placed the coffin.l
which was partially covered with a pail of j
black velvet, with borders of deep black silks
fringe, and a Palmetto worked it? silver in each!
corner and centre.
“ The groundwork of the cornice was black.]
with silver bands -or mouldings around the!
top and ornamented at the bottom of tbe frieze!
with silver stars, placed at intervals. The!
arms of the State, emblazoned in silver borders:
ornamented the centre of the two sides; these!
shields were draped with black crape.
“ The corners were surmounted by eight!
black plumes, one over each pillar, supported!
by silver balls; the bases of the plumes were!
covered with heavy folds of black crape. The!
angles of the roof were covered by silver rods,!
terminating at the top with a silver ball, onj
which was secured the central plnme, wnichj
was camposed of black ostrich plumes, and!
heavy pendants of black crane.”
Betwaen 12 nnd 1 o'clock the cortege reach-!
ed the Chadol Square. Here the various parts]
of the priipession had assembled and were ap-j
propriateljarrauged,occupying, with intervals,!
the entire yquare; while an immense throng!
of spectators filled all the surrounding streets,
and every paint from which a view of the cere
monies could be obi ui ned.
Mr. Alderwan Banks, the Chairman of
the Sub-Con]nittee of Reception, having]
introduced the Committee of tiie Senate of
the United StnUs to Gov. Seabrook, Mr. Ma
son, on behalf olthe Committee, addressed his
Excellency as follows:
Governor Seahtook: The Senate of the
United States, by its order, has ieputed a
Committee of six Senators to bring back the
remains of their late’colfeague, ym.r ilijstri l
ous statesman, John Caldwell Calhoun, to I 's,
Inative State.
He fell in the fullnexs of his fame, without
stain or blot, without fear, and wi'hout re-
proach, a martyr in the'great and holy causeM
to which his life had been devoted —the safety
and equality of the Southern States in their fe
deral alliance.
It is no disparagement to your c,l ate or her
people, to say their loss is irreparable—for
Calhoun was a man of a century, but to the
entire South the absence of bi» counsels can
scarcely btLsuyplied. With ajndgment stern,
sßMretded, aiKl purpoaft iwtooifrSbM,
was united a political and moral purity, that
threw around him an atmosphere which noth
ing unholy could breathe, and yet live. Bui
sir, I am not here to eulogise yout honored
dead. That has been already done ih the Se
nate-house, with the memory of his recent tri
umphs there, clustering around us, ind by
those far abler than I. It is our melanefiolyS
office only, which I here perform, on behalf ofK
the committee of the Senate, to surreudet alii
that remains of him on earth, to the State of!
South Carolina; and, having done this, o«rl
mission is ended ; we shall return to our duties’
in the Senate; and those perform- d, to our se-|
perate and distant homes; bearing with us the]
treasured memory of his exalted worth, and
the great example of his devoted and patriotic
life.
Gov. Seabrook responded as fallows •
I receive, Air. Chairman, with the deepest
emotions, the mortal remains of him for whom
South Carolina entertained an unbounded af
fection. Implicitly relying on the faithful ex
ercises of his great moral and intellectual en
dowments, on no occasion, for a period of
about forty years, which constituted indeed his
whole political life, did her confidence in him
suffer the slightest abatement. Although the
spirit that animated its tenement of clay now
inhabits another and a purer mansion, yet th,
name of John Caldwell Calhoun shall live
while time shall be permitted to endure. Thai
name is imprinted in indelible characters oi
the hearts of those whose feelings and opin
ions he so truly reflected, and wid forever b<,
fondly cherished, not only by his own country
men, but by every human being who is caps
bie of appreciating the influence of a giganti,
intellect, unceasingly incited by the dictates oi
wisdom, virtue, and patriotism.
In the name of ifca people efthe State he si
dearly loved, I tender, through you, to the Sen
ate of the United States, their warmest a,
know lodgements for the honors conferred b
that distinguished body on the memory of on -
illustrious statesman, and by this Committee I
iask the acceptance of their heartfelt gratliuue
for the very kind and considerate manner in
which, gentlemen, the melancholy, yet honor
able, task assigned you has deon execured. ' |
Tbe first of April, 1850, exhibited a scene in!
the halls of the Federal Congress, remarkable I
for its moral sublimity. On that day, the!
North and the South, the East and the West,!
together harmoniously met, at the altar conse-j
craled to the noblest affections of our nature,!
and moved by a common impulse, portrayed®
in strains of fervid eloquence, before tho as-E
sembled wisdom of the land, the character andj
services of him around whose bier we are as-g
sembled. To every member of the Senate andg
House of Representatives, whose voice wasH
heard on that solemn occasion, South Carolinas
proffers the right hand of fellowship.
I trust it will not be considered a departure®
9 from the strictest rules of propriety to say to
£an honorable member of Congress before me,
Sthat the Palmetto State owes him a debt of!
Igratitude, which, at her bidding, and in obedi I
Hence to my own feelings, I am imperatively]
at this time, to liquidate in part.*
sFroin the first day of Mr.. Calhoun’s protract-S
Had illness to the moment when death achieved]
fflbis victory, you, Mr. Venable, wdre rarely ab 8
ffisent from his bedside. With the anxious soli-s
geitnde of a devoted friend, you ministered to!
Shis wants, and watched the reflux of that no-|
able stream whose fertilizing powers wereabout!
Sro be buried in the great ocean of eternity I
sFor services so disinterested, spontaneously r
Sbestowed by a stranger, I offer the tribute of 8
g hanks, warm from overflowing hearts.
3 Mr. Venable made the following reply : Thea
■ manner in which your Excellency has bqpnj
Ipleasod to refer to the attention which I was j
Jennbled to bestow on our illustrious friend, has!
■deeply affected my heart. It is but a lepeated!
Expression of the feelings of the people ofi
■ Charleston, on the same subject, contained in ’
11 resolution which has reached me, and for ■
(which manifestation of kindness, I now return «
to you and to them, my most sincere, rnosi 5
heartfelt thanks. Nothing ‘has so fully con- J
Ivinced me of the extended popularity, I should ]
rather say feeling of veneration, towards the '
statesman whose death has called us together !
to-day, as the high estimate which you and !
your people have placed upon the services of a |
humble friend. Sir, the impulses of human-®
ity would have demanded nothing less; and !
It hat man is more than rewarded, when permit- a
ted to soothe the pain, or alleviate the suffer-«
ings of a philosopher, sage, patriot and states-1
man, so exalted above his cotemporaries, that [
were we not admonished by bis subjection to i
;he invasion of disease and death, we might S
I well doubt whether he did not belong to a su
perior race. To be even casually associated I
with his memory, in the gratitude of a State,|
is more than a reward for any services which!
i could render to him. Sir, as his life was u|
i chronicle of instructive events, so bis death,§
lyit furnished a commentary on that life. It isjjj
said of Hampden, when in the agonies of deaths
rendered mere painful by the nature of hisa
wound, exclaimed, “O, God of my fathers,!
save, savd my country”—thus breathing the|
desire of his sou] on earth into the vestibule!
>f the Court of Heaven. So our illustrious®
friend, but a few hours before bis departure,|
unployed the last effort in which he was
ped to utter more than a single sentence, say-3
ing: “If I had my health and strength to-zlc-s
voteone hour to my country in the Senate, Is
could do more than in my whole life.” He is|
gone ! and when, in my passage here, I sawfe
he manifestations of deep feeling, of heart-g
felt veneration, in Virginia and my own Caro-iB
Una, I felt as one miking a pilgrimage to theß
mmb of his fathers, whose sad heart was|
cheered by spontaneous testimonials to theK
merits of the one he loved and honored. Bul|
when, with this morning’s dawn, I approachedg
your harbor, and saw the city in the peacefui|
Lest of a Sabbath, heard not the stroke of the!
pamtner, or the hum of voices engaged in the f
I 'easiness of life; when, from the deck of the!
steamer, in the midst of your harbor, I couldg
lescry the habiliments of mourning which!
consecrated your houses—the stillness, theg
polemn stillness, spoke a language which!
wentto my heart. But when,added to this, II
behold this vast multitude of mourners, I ex- E
claim: A people’s tears water the dust of oneg
Iwlio loved and served them. No military fame!
I was his; be never set a squadron in the field.]
i'he death of the civilian and patriot, who lov-I
pd his country and bis whole country,-gavcß
I rise to this great demonstration of sorrow and I
hegard. Permit me again to assure your Ex I
jcellency, and the people of Charleston, and ol a
| South Carolina, that I shall ever cherish, a- I

Gov. Seabrook then addressed the ’layor.fi
the Hon. T. Leger Hutchinson, as follows :
Mr. Mayor: I commit to your care theseg
precious remains. After the solemn ceremo-i
niesof the day, I request tljat vou put oveiß
them a Guard of Hotter, until tfie hour shal l
arrive to consign them to their temporary rest-i

Mr. Hutchinson replied as follews :

trom your hands, with profound emotion, tin I
mortal remains of John Caidwell Calhoun—j
a sacred trust confided to us, to be reltiuet M
until the desire of the people of South Carob-M
na, expressed through their constituted au B
thoritles, shall be declared respecting their ti M
ual resting place. M
The procession began to move from ib<
Green at one o’clock, the military in advance,
then the hearse, followed by a long train ot
carriages, conveying the Family of the deceas
ed, the Senate Committee, the Governor and
suite, the committee of Twenty-five, and the
• everai Committees from Wilmington and the
interior of this State. Next followed the pro
cession on foot—the Fire Companies, the Free
Masons,Odd Fellows, Sons of Temperance,
and other Societies, arranged as in the pro
g amme, a long cavalcade of citizens forming
the rear. The procession first moved into
King-st., and down that street to Hasell, thence
Ito Meeting-st., and down Meeting to Souibjj
Bay, thence to East Bay, and up East Bay toS
Broad-st., and thence to the City Hall, the endH
of the movement. Its entire length was near-S
iy a mile apd a half. The military formed on®
me south side of Broadest-, the Hearse rested®
before the entrance of the City Hall, and be-B
tween them passed successively the several®
divisions of the procession. This scene of®
■hs.inpiMneiU.ma j>erhwj>s the most beautifr l|

reigned through it, the public buildings wrap ®
ped in mourning, the hearse motionless before
the temporary resting place of the dead, the
impress of the whole solemn pageant which
was here concluded, each added ns own force
to complete the effect.
The Body was here taken from the Hearse,
conveyed into the City Hail, and deposited in
the Catafalque constructed for the occasion,
where it lay in state in charge of the Special
Committee of Two Hundred, until 9 o’clock,
lyesterday morning. The following descrip

g’rom the Evening News :
S “The interior decorations of the City Hall

I gracefully draped in mournipg, and all otg
I 'he windows hung with curtains of crape,l
I trimmvd with white, the festoons of each win-
I dow formed by a mourning rosette. In the
I west eu4 of the room a' ’etafalque was erected,
S a most chaste and beautiful structure, the de
| sign, arrangement and adornment of which,
| reflect the highest credit upon the gentle-
I men who phnned and superintended its erec-
I lion. The base of the catafalque is about
j nineteen fee', tong, by twelve feet broad, and
I its height about three feet. On each side of
I the base were three entablatures ornamented
I with festoons in white and black. A flight of
I tour steps with ormmented buttresses rises to
1 he top of the base, and on each buttress placed
wo candelabra, the sombre light of which]
were added a solemn affect to the scene. Tbe|

Mr. Webster submitted a resolution for an
inquiry into the expediency of enlarging thp
facilities for coinage at the Mint of the United

The Senate took up Mr. Bradbury’s resolu
tion calling upon the President for copies
of charges against persons removed from
office.
Mr. Bradbury spoke at length in reply to
the late speech of Mr. Smith, of Connecticut.
Mr. B.'alleged that the pre-ent had been
the most proscriptive administration that ever
existed. He compared tbe number with the
number removed by Gen. Jackson. Gen.
Jackson’s administration removed but forty
Cle ks.
Mr. Bell explained that when Gen. Jackson
came in he found the old republican Clerks in
office, who had been appointed by Mr. Madi
son,and Mr. Monroe and not removed by Mr.
Adams.
I Mr. Borland said this administration was so
proscriptive, that not content with removing
democrats it had gone to work and removed
wltigs also.
Mr. Bradbury—lt was no doubt a decided
improvement. He saw no objection to tbe
■ulopiion of tlie resolution.
Mr. Bell made some remarks. He thought

li'omplaiut on this subject in newspapers, but
■ were the charges urged by the iSenator from
i >iaine, that Gen. Taylor claimed the power

a The doctrine of Gen. Taylor is not to re-
Imove for opinion’s sake; but for cause. On
liiieotber side, the officers were claimed as a
(matter of right, belonging tothe Democratic
(party. He knew of no case of removal in
I t'ennesaee, in which special cause was not
lassigned. Active interference in elections

-1 Onr Paper-—lnjustice.
• I It is unpleasant to us to write a word about
3 ourselves, byway of complaint. But we feel
, constrained to do so by the course of some, in
; various sections, who have travelled out of
the paths of their own business to prejudice
us in public estimation. We established the
Republic for the purpose of making money.
That we do not deny. But we sincerely be
lieve that, in conducting the paper, we have
been influenced by the additional motive to
make it the medium of a public good. In the
prosecution of our business, all that we ask
is, to be fairly dealt with. We know of no
reason why efforts should be made to injure
us, except upon the ground that we have not
made blind partizanship our polar star, and
looked steadily to the advancement of the am
bitious views of a few leaders rather than the
interests of the country, particularly the
Southern portion of it.
Who, that possesses a spark of candour, does
not know, that, at the present time, the old is
sues between the Whigs anti Democrats are
in a great degree obsolete. Wo advocate a
revenue tariff with incidental proteclion to the
industry of the country, and do not and will
not go a step beyond that. The declaration of
Mr. Webster, th-1 a Bank of tlie United States
is an obsolete idea, has been generally acqui
esced in by the people in every section. The
Sub-Treasury system, with seme modifications
will answer as a fiscal agent for the General
Government. A division of sentiment upon
other minor measures, is of still less irnpor
tance to the people, or country, either as re
gards the prosperity of the one, or the charac
ter and fame of tbe other. Gen. Taylor went
so far as to declare that he was a Whig, but
not an ultra Whig. No one will deny our
statement, that in his Allison letter, he declar
ed in substance, that he would sanction such
measures of Congress as that body had the
constitutionalpower to pass. Noone will deny
tbatthe inference is plainly authorized by that
letter, that he would sanction Whig measures
or Democratic measures, which secured the
support of a majority ofthe.Congress. Hereto
fore Whig Presidents have vetoed democratic
measures, and democratic Presidents have ve
toed Whig measures. General Taylor has re
pudiated the practice. A distinguished member
of his Cabinet declared, during tbe canvass in
1848, that ail the old issues, between the
Whigs and democrats were nearly obliterated.
Since Gen. Taylor’s installation in the Pre
sidential chair, the great and absorbing ques
tion has been, that between the North and the
South, in reference to slavery in the new terri
tories. We frankly confess we never have
known what were Gen. Taylor’s views upon
thisquestion, in its several important branches.
We have sustained him negatively, by express
ing our belief and confidence in the correct
ness of his views. But who does not now
know that he has studiously concealed them.
The Washington Republic and National In
telligencer, the Whig organs at Washington
City, have frequently justified him in doing so
upon the ground that as a mediator between
tho North and South, he could accomplish
more by a course of silence. We have not
been able to take that view of the case, forbad
General Taylor mildly but firmly repudiated
the Wilmot Proviso, soon after occupying his
present position, it woql4 not have been press
with so much fierceness and perseverance for
lopg months of exciting agitati >n. It is true,
that recently, the Wilmot proviso has been
given up by many of its Northern Supporters.
But this has been owing to two causes--the
demonstration of Southern resistance, and the
belief that their object could be
tn another way. • -
Gen. Taylor’s plan has been, and is, to ad
mit California, as now organized, as a State
and leave the territories without regular gov
ernments, toemnein ae States, as soon a»ib«r-
w; awer'obt«lnfhg
site population. We couid not concur in this
plan, because the admission of California
would qdfl two Senators and two representa
tives to the political power of ihe opponents of
our institutions, to aid them in denying us our
rights in the other new territories. All the
Southern Whigs in Congress differ with Gen.
Taylor on this subject. We learn that the
Whig representatives from Georgia, in both
houses, are opposed to his plan. They go for
a settlement of the whole matter at once, so as
to leave no room for future disaster to the
South and future angry sectional disputes to
endanger the Union. Are we to be blamed
then for differing with Gen. Taylor, when
there is not a single man from the South who
stands by his propo-itions on. this question. —
Besides, have not all men and all presses, at ,
the South, who have spoken upon this slave/ i
ry question, declared that it should be placed
above party. Ill's paramount to and absorbs
all others. If that be so, what o".oht naturjl
ly to be (he of parties 1 Why, fee
South ought to be united, and if justice be ’de
nied her, the division should be intq Northern
and Southern parties. \Ye are for the South
ern party. We are for those who maintain
our rights and against thana who assail them.
No party ties can shake us from this position
till this question is settled, and, perhaps, as we
aro so much and so unhappily divided, from
some cause or other, it would be best for us
to organize now, as a Southern party, with a
view to the production of the greatest possible
unanimity amongst us.
We do not know what Gen. Taylor’s views
are as to the existence of a Mexican anti-sla
very law in the new territories. The Whig
papers at Washington City, the Republic and
Intelligencer, both admit the existence of such
a law. We have denied it from the begin
ning. We have contended, all along, that the
territories were obtained by the joint blood and
treasure of the North and South—are the
common property of both, and that the
of both sections have an equal right (q move
upon and enjoy it with their property of every
kind.
Is this position offensive to Southern men ?
’Are we to be traduced and injured for enter
taining these views ? In what then have we
offended 1 We personally knew several who
have been persuaded to stop the Republic.
For what reason> Can any man point out a
solitary absurd position that we have ever ta
ken 1 We have repeatedly offered the use of
our columns to any one who wished to expose
our errors, who could expose them. We have
defied and challenged any of those inimical
to us, to expose us if they could. No one has
come forward to do so, and yet the same fire
is kept up against us.
We know that a few have stopped our pa
per who believed in their hearts that we were
right. We have been injured by Southern
. men for sustaining Southern rights and inte
rests! Strange result I But it is neverthe
, less true. It is a source of pleasure to us to
know that some who left us have come back,
and are among our firmest friends.
We fill that it is a liberty we may take to
ask of those who think with us, to sustain Utt
by such personal aid as they may find it con
venient to afford, Many would find it no dif
ficult task to add to our list of subscribers.
We will thank them for their assistance. To
a goodly number, who have already shown
their faith by their works, we tender our warm
acknowledgements.
Our apology for so much reference to our
self! copsluU in the very mdural desire to pro
tect our business from unjustifiable injury.
We have no desire to thrust onr affairs before
the public. We feel disposed, rather, to
shrink from that, but self preservation

one, and, from the commencement, has en

Defining I’oMiions.
We copy the following letter from the Mo
bile Advertiser. The reader will see ths na
ture of it from its perusal. We have, for ma
ny years, admired the skill and ability with
which Mr. Langdon has conducted tlie Adver
tiser. We certainly have not sympathized
with his course of late upon the Southern
question, and are not surprised at tins call
upon him by some of his Whig friends. We
think his course, as also that pursued by some
other Whig papers, on this great question, has
been calculated neither to benefit the South
nor the Whig party.
Mr. Langdon denies to those twenty-seven
Whigs the right to dictate to him what course
he shall pursue in the conduct of his paper.
He tells them, in reply, that his paper shows
for itself, and they must judge for’themselves
whether they can patronise it or not. We
suppose they preferred calling on him, in this
way, to a sudden and peremptory abandon
ment of him.
Mr. Langdon says they are all Whigs, most
of them have been subscribers to the Averti
ser since it has been under his control, and adds,
“under the conviction that about 24 out o!
the 27 are in reality friends, who are incapa
ble of intentional insult, I have determined
to waive all objections, and ‘ define my posi
tion’anew on the ‘ Southern question.’”
We, who have constantly received and read
the Advertiser, have seen occasional articles
either from the pen of the editor, or extracted
from other papers, in its columns, well calcu
lated to excite unpleasant feelings on the part
of the friends of the South, and this letter to
Mr. L., from some of those who have long
been not only his political but personal friends,
is proof of the fact.
Occupying, as we do, in some respects, the
position ot a public sentinel, we have taken
occasion to animadvert with freedom upon the
course of some of those whether editors or
public men, who have occupied positions pre
judicial to the rights and interests of the South.
This we have never done, from any other mo
tive than a watchful regard to the public wel
fare.
In onr opinion, the time has come for the
people of :he South to see to it, that public
men, and Journalists shall not injure our
cause, by their course, whether dictated by
corrupt purpose, or mistaken policy.
Wetrust that the reasons which have eliciied
this letter tothe Advertiser, and controlled the
conduct of other editors and individuals, at
the South, have been founded only in the lat
ter, a mistaken policy. But that may be as
injurious as a corrupt purpose, and even more
so. We want Journals and men who will
pursue and maiptain the right policy, and
the people can obtain their services if (hey
will it. We sincerely wish well lu all our
brother editors, far and near, but first and
above all other considerations, we desire the
general welfare of /be South, and the whole
country—with thesft few remarks we intro
duce the following to our readers.

As Maybr of this city and editor of the
Mobile Dfily Advertiser, importance attaches
to your sfhtiments, which do not seem to be
well untferstood by many of the readers of
your papir. In order therefore that no injus
tice may be done you and the Whig party,
we begleave to direst your attention to these
grave questions, and i hus to afford you a fit
opportunity of speaking for yourself. Before
d ing so, however, we must be permitted to
state that the lact has not escaped the atten
tionOf many of the readers of the Advertiser,
tha] little or nothing has recently appeared in
that paper particularly favorable to the rights
and interests of the Sluveholding States. It
may also be remarked in this connection, that
you “have selected and republished such ex-
pressions of sentiment from the Southern
Country, as indicate an indisposition on the
tpart of its people to participate tn any measure
of resistance to the action of the gover;.inent
in regard to slavery.” You have also for
borne to republish such expressions of public
sentiment as indicate what is believed to be
the pervading opposition on 'me part of the
south to the upon their cons itu
lional right Jle norlh .
t hbse facts are regarded by many Whigs
as well as Democrats, us very significant. It
cannot be denied that the leading presses of
the country are taken as presumptive expo
nents of the feelings and sentiments of the par
ty of which they are the organs. Believing,
as we do, that the mass of the Whig party ot
the South “ are sound to the core” on the
slavery question, and are willing to go as far
as the farthest in defence of Southern rights
and institutions, we are not willing, even by
implication, that a contrary opinion may
deduced. With the view, therefore, of coun
teracting such a tendency, and of affording
you a suitable occasion for defining your po
sition beyond doubt, we make this communi
cation, and respectfully ask you to make
known your views and opinions through the
columns of your paper, in regard to the im
portant questions which are now pending be
tween the North and the the South, and ex
citing so much interest in Congress.

Is sad, and desolate, and dim ;
A nation waileth to tho skies
A death that nature justifies !
Thy memory, rescued from the grave,
Shall never die, while o’er us wave
The stars and siripes—while freedom’s sod
Is hallow’d by the smile of God ! ,
Amid a nation’s-grief and gloom
We’ve placed thee in the silent tomb;
A mariyr to thy coun'ry’s cause—
Cease, harp of tears, in sorrow pause !
[For tlie Republic.]
Staaizna.
Though the star of my fate is declining,
Though hope and though love now are set,
This heart shall ne’er know repining,
Its fate shall be silently met.
Sink down, fickle orbs, to your -waning,
While clouds wrap the sky with their pall;
Nor murmur nor sigh nor complaminn., [
Shall breathe t hafJ: "wa t cTieiltor*'y faffL
Though faded is every sweet vision /
And false every golden young dream,
Yet, yet will I smile in derision,
My face with contentment shall beam.
-
And they, who have recklessly driven
The iron that pierceth my soul,
Shall know not that iron hath riven
Aly world, from its centre to pole.
Sorrow’s lava-like flood may surround me
And my bark wildly flee from the harm, •
But the billows that circle around me
Shall bear back no cry ot alarm.
Nor ever again shall,reliance
Be put in fate, foriunq or friend'
But the might of a reckless defiance
Shall break what it oft failed to bend.
Fierce hunter and hounds, I defy ye!
<Jome! ye swifest, ye longest of breath;
On the wings of the wind, I’ll sweep by ye,
Ye ne’er shall be “in at the death”!

Tile Maiden’s Soitluq toy.
[ A maiden alone—Milton in her hand. She
opens at toe passage, -rtiail, wedded love! mys
terious law,” etc. She then soliloquizes]:
It inusi ba a°? Milton, thou reasouest well;
Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond de
sire,
This longing after matrimony?
Or whence this secret this inward hor
ror
Oi dying unespouseo? Wiry f J nr i lts the heart
Baca on itself, ano startles at celibacy?
Tis reason, faithful reason, ihai stiis within us;
lis nature’s self m a t points out an alliance,
And a husband to the sex.
Marriage! thou pleasing, and yet anxious
thought?
Through what new, various changes must we
pass!
Tiie marriage state in prospect lies before me,
But shadows, clouds and darknes-, rest upon it,
Here will I hold. If natu.e prompts ihe wish,
And that she does is plain from all her works,
Our duty, inten st, pleasure, bids ndulge it,
For the great end of nature’s law is bliea. _
Butyet—3D wedlock —<>'« woman must obey-.
I’m weary of these doubts; the priest shall encl
’em; 3
Nor rashly do I verllure loss and gain;
Pleasure and bondage meet my thoughts at
once.
I wed—my liberty is gone forever.
But happiness it self Irom this secured!
Love first shall recompense my loss,
And when my charms shall have laded,
Mine eyes grow dim, and stature bend with
years.
Thou, virtuous friendship, shall succeed to love;
r Thus pleased, I’ll scorn infirmity and death,
Renewed successively in another’s race.
Too great a hurry.—A poor woman, in
one of ihe middle States, who lisped, carried
her child to church for baptism. Being asked
its name by the Bishop, she replied.
“Luthy, sir.”
“What?” says the doctor,
“Luthy, sir.”
“Lucifer! h’cifer! Th"t won’t do,” s»ys
the Bisi’ijp, and baptised the child George
Wellington.
Tiie poor woman, confounded, could not
speak until near the church door, when she
told the parson ilie child was n girl.
A young gentleman was frequently cau
tioned by his father to vote for “Measures
not men.” He promised to do so, soon afier
he received a bonus to vote for a Mr. Peck.
His father astonished at his voting for a man.
whom he deemed objectionable inquired bis
reasons for so doing. “Surely, father,” said
the youth, “you told me to vote for measures—
and if a Peck is not u measure, I don’t know
what it is.”
Dalton and its Prospects.—We are
gratified to learn that the Dahon City Compa

J the company have given an earnest of what
propose to do, by subscribing twenty
thousand dollars as part of the capital of a
company to es'ablish a cotton factory. It is
to be Imped this movement will be sustained by
the citizens of Dalton and the neighborhood,as
we learn that other parties will furnish the ma
chinery if we put up the buildings and furnish
the steam engines.—Dalton Times, 25th inst.
The Tunnel.—We have been informed
that the Tunnel will certainly be completed,
and ready for tt-e, some time during the month

dition for the laying down of the track. The
rest of the road is in splendid order. The
passenger and freight trains continue to make
their daily trips to and from Chattanooga.
The business on the road, for the last two
months, has been very heavy, large cargoes of
freight being daily transported to and from the
above mentioned place.—Ringgold Repub

The Cotton Crop—The prospects of the
planter in this section are rather unpromising.
Many have had their crops entirely ruined by
the late frosts and cold weather, and are at
this late poriod compelled to plant over. We
are rather inclined to this opinion, that '.he crop
of the present, will fall very short o', that of the
past season.—Alabama Chronicle 20th.
