Genuine Heroism. —When tlie plague raged violently in Marseilles, every link of allection was broken; tin: fat. .er turned from ilieclnkl—the child from Iho lather; cowar dice, ingraiiiudu no longer excited indigna tion. Misery m nt its height, when it tints destroys every generous feeling—lima dm- j solves every tie of’humanity! Thu city be-| came a dwserl, grass grew in the streets, it funeral met you at every step. The pit)si mians assembled in a hotly at the Hotel del Ville.'to ItoJd a consultation on the fearful I disease, for which no remedy had yet been ! ‘discovered. After n long deliberation, they 1 decided unanimously, that the malady had a peculiar and mysterious character,' which opening a oorpse alone might developo—un operation it was impossible to attempt, since the operator must infallibly become a victim m a few hours, beyond the power of human art to save him, as lira violence ol tin.* attack would preclude their administering the cus 'lumnry remedies. A dead pause succeeded fine fatal declaration. Suddenly, a surgeon 'named Guyon in thu prime oljtlb, nud of great celebrity in his profession, rose and said firmly, ‘He tl so; J devote myselffor thu 1 safety of my country. Before this numerous assembly, I promise, in (lie name of human!- ty and religion, that, to-morrow, at iho break ■of day, I will rlisecl a corpse, and write 1 1 ■down, as I proceed, whnt 1 observe." ’He toll the assembly instantly. They nd. i ‘mire him, lament Ins fate, and doubt whether i he will persist in his design. The intrepid I and pious Guyon, animated by all the sublime ■energy religion can inspire acted up to Ins ■word. lie had never married, ho was rich and he immediately made his will, dictated by justice and piety; he confessed and in the middle of the night received the sacraments. A man had died of the plague in his Imjuso, within four and twenty hours.—Guyon, at day-break, shut himself up in Iho same room betook with him tin inkstand, paper, and a crucifix. Full of enthusiasm, never had he felt more firm or more collected, kneeling biv fore the corpse, Ite wrote down ‘Moulding tenement ot an immortal soul, mu only can I gav.e on thee without horror, but with joy and gratitude. Thou will open to mo the gales of a glorious eternity. In discovering to me the secret cause of the terrible disease which destroys my native city, thou will enable me to point out some salutary remedy; thou wilt render my ■sacrifice useful.—Oh God! (conti nued he,) thou wilt bless the action thou hast thyself inspired.’ He began—he finished the dreadful operation, and recorded in detail Ins surgical observations. 110 then left tho room throw (he papers into n vase of vinegar, and afterwards sought the Lazaretto,where lie died in twelve hours—a death ten thousand times more glorious than the warrior’s, who to save his country, rushes on the enemy’s ranks since he advances with hojie at least sustain ed, admired, and seconded hy a whole army.

I will now proceed to give your readers a con- : denned account of Mr. Webster’s comments on tlm character and tendency ol Mr. Calhoun’s | opinions and doctrines. Ho first referred to that remarkable man’s speech of September last, and the fear then expressed by him, and which, bo sod is generally fell by ibe Statei Rights Parly. the fear of the Union of the political and mon ied power of the country • Mr. Calhoun oh jects to the government receiving or paying bank notes; because bo believes it will lead to central!* zillion of the money power, For tiio same reu j son he objects to making banks the depositories ol ibo government. Mr. Webster maintained that in a commercial ago, a commercial country will always have, in despite of all legislation, a centre of trade and commerce. There will bo always some centralization of the commercial sys tem : sueb as in London and Paris: and New York: There mu»t boa heart from which the blood should i/irculale throughout (ho whole com mercial .System. Rut that a cornice)ion between banks and the government is calculated to pro duce ibis centralization ho totally denied. 11 lliero wore but one bank whore notes should lie made receivable (bore might be something in the argument; but when the bills of all local specie paying banks arc made receivable, equality and uniformity are given lo the currency, and that centralization 'ol which Mr. Calhoun expressed much apprehension, is prevented instead of being /iroinoteil. Hut what is most remarkable, Mr. Calhoun while professing lo oppose centralization irf the money power, is at Ibis moment doing all ho can to carry a measure which will inevitably lend lo centralization. What can have a more powerful effect in centralizing (he monetary system than that government paper he proposes lo issue. H you have but one species of paper, and that issued jby government —if you receive no other kind at i the custom house, and land offices, what else can centralize ! Must not this paper necessarily con centrate at the great minis —in the busy scenes of commercial enturpiizc, and of speculation. And then as to the disbursements of the govern. J mcnl in this paper of Us own, will not the opora j lion bo the sumo! Will not the government creditor receive his drafts on New York and Phil adelphia. What has been the case in regard to j Ticusury Notes ! Ate they not all concentrated in (ho laigc Atlantic cities. Have .South Caroli na, Georgia, Indiana, and other Stales their shares 1 ( It must ho remembered that Mr. Calhoun’s notion is that the only paper circulation which ought to be used for trade, commerce, and I usi ness generally as well as in the fiscal operations of the government is government paper. Now without making any imputation of the consisten cy of the honorable Senaloi, it docs ccitaiuly ap pear rather incompatible with any sincere and enlightened opposition lo the Union of the polit ical and moneyed power, to contend that gov ernment alone ought to issue that paper which is to till up all the channels of ciiculation. It is to maintain that there is danger ftom die Union of the money power, and political power: hut no danger at all from the entire absorption by gov ernment of the whole money power ! ! Mr. WEIiSTER commented upon the far fa med Edgefield loiter with inimitable spirit and veracity. Ho said it was a curiosity—more like a military despatch than any thing else. It re minded liiriiof one of the despatches of the King of Russia. Taking n position—advancing—re treating—marching eon liter-marching—holding nn enemy in cheek—at Moscow today—Silesia I tomorrow —(armors Hying—always lighting—ab j ways at work—never stationary.—There is this important difference however. The Groat Fred erick never took- a fiosilion tc hold an ally in cheek, or to cover on enemy. Mr CALHOUN admits that his course was such ns to give the appearance of his having c/mnycd. There was certainly a change of com” parry; ami apparently a change of affections too rapid lo lie natural. Some years ago was in London, wrote a mock drama for the purpose of ridiculing the excessive sentimentality of the j Gcimnn school. Two strangers are represented ns hitting together in a public loom. One starts up, and exclaims. “A sudden thought has struck me ! Suppose you and I swear eternal friend ship.” The offer was eagerly embraced. They did sweat ’fiiendahip. Mr. Calhoun has earned Ins political sentimentality a little beyond this German pitch. After acting with the Whigs through a long and arduous contest, and seeing on all sides evidences of the diumphal progress of tl e;r principles—when ono united attack would have prostrated forever this miserable anti-Jaeksonian, anti-Repubiieun, aiiii-Con stiiulional policy of the adininUatioii; on the very eve ol the decisive contest ho yields to a new affection. He calls not now to stran gers, but to a patty to whom he had been oppo sing with all his might, “hallo! a new thought strikes me ! —1 will abandon my old allies. Let us swear biendship eternal and unchangeable !” The other parly, rather coy, but nothing loth, after the reasonable hesitation, modest delay, and blasting reluctance over the soft impeachment take him la their love; and now there Jsils j the Senator from South Carolina enjoying all the sweets of eternal friendship ! He is a leader among these new and dearly beloved allies. Ho who was the chicfesl of sin ners in their estimation a few short month" a-o 5 » is now the Alston, the Achilles, the Ulyses, llie . Ajax, llie all in nil, and above all. ilia place is i in the Engine car, regulating the rate at which i I the p.my go ; —aa for those who occupy place* in the passengers cars, they are a very quiet set | of persons, who only with in tome way to get to the end of (heir journey; and then desire to | thank Clod! The movement is all Mr, Cal : huun'rf. I should like to see the faces of the Sub-Tree- 1 | miry advocates, Messrs Wright. Calhoun &■ Co.; if General Jackson were to stalk into the Senate Chamber suddenly, and see the 4pect*cle now presented there, what would he think of there ! new and strange associations I—and what will the people think, who scan closely the actions o* men, and judge them by their consistency and adherence to principle '! . Mr. WEBSTER went into a close examina tion of Mr. Calhoun’s newly discovered conatitu. tional maxima against the receivabilily of the notes of specie paying banks. He showed by j reference to the journals of Congress, that Mr. Calhoun was himself the very man who made these notes receivable hy law in payments to the government. The resolution of IdlG, de signating' -Ihe funds receivable inpayment of, public dues, had no reference whatever to all j specie paying hunks. How then came that pro vision in the law n > it passed and received the sanction of President JACKSON. An amend* merit was made at Mr. Clarks table. Who do you think was the author of that amendment 1 1 JOHN C. CALHOUN !! ! (fj*The journal j of the day show that Mr. Calhoun so amended \ the resolution as to extend the receivahilly to i the notes of all specie paying banks /.CJ) The very uutliuiiiy then which Mr. CAL HOUN now dentes was put in tho law hy Mr. ; Calhoun himself. Are not these settled opin : ions of the honorable Senator from Fort /Jill cn tilled to more weight, especially since they were i sanctioned by Congress and by the whole course j of Government born that day to this, than any : | new and suddenly formed opinions. | Mr. WEBSTER demonstrates as I think 11 from a survey of the general purposes of the Con ' slitution which had its foundation in the gcnerjtl • I desire of the Aimnicaii people to produce an identity of commercial interest, and commercial exalation—from the giant of the coinage power —and fiorn the grant of tho power over com merce—that this government is invested with the power to regulate tho currency, and is bound to provide a cheap, ready, and convenient medium of circulation—sound and uniform—and since this bill proposes nothing for tho cunency but is merely a plan For collecting, keeping, and dis horsing th'o revenue, it does not fulfil the’consti tutional obligations of government. To day tbo death of tho Hon. Mr. Carter, of , Maine, was announced to the House hy Mr. Evans, and to tho Senate hy Mr. Haggles, both i of whom spoke in (loquout terms o' his charac ter.

Jones -There is nothing more certain to a reflecting mind, than that our country is rapidly C approaching a crisis that must determine the * gieat problem one way or the other—whether 1 this government is to remain as the constitution 1 made it, or to bo split up into different fragments, 1 each warring against the other and aiming at their destruction. I have, for the last throe years, g studied with the most painful and anxious soliei tudo every great and leading question that has c | agitated the public mind; having reference al ways to the peculiar features of our complex sys- v tom, to see whether there existed in tho disc'.r- 1 danl elements, which warred with each other on I' these- topics, the seeds of dissolution, and I have a come to the broad conclusion, that there is no n question that can lie taised under the consign o lion that can rflccl that dreadful result, save i| lc a “ Abolition question.” The plain and obvious i reason why other questions of magnitude cun f never sever the Union, is, that religious fanati- t cism never enters into their composition. So ( long as this fell spirit does not chime in with | ! either party on any great question, however ag- , ' gravaled it may he, yet the popular impulse will , always be guided by reason, rullicient at least to I direct them to a correct decision. This is the 1 evidence of all past history. But as soon as re ligious fanaticism rises in the ascendant, that moment is all law and authority thrown down, and the government, if not destroyed in form, is made the instrument to effect its diabolical pur*, poses. What do We sec passing in daily review before us ? A body of men in the northern and eastern slates have associated themselves togelhe- > formed societies, increasing at the rapid rale o* one society a day, receiving support and counte nance from eohie of the most distinguished men in Congress from the northern states, for the ex press purpose of abolishing slavery throughout tbs south. Uy what spirit are these men guided if it is not by the most hateful species of religious fanaticism ! They seem determined to Carry nut i their principles at any and every hazard. They | make the peaceful religion ol Jesus Christ the pretext for committing ihc most unheard of crime, ihat of changing the institutions of a whole pecu liar people, at the sacrifice of every thing dear to that people on earth, and with whom they are leagued in covenants of the most sacred friend ship. To what must this all lead 1 I say, em phatically, to a dissolution of the Union. The sun will not mure certainly roll into existence the summer, than that this event will tako place, if this infernal Abolition question is not arrested, and that too at the point where it now is. Men in Congress and out of it may reason and declaim for political purposes —it will not do. Lot any man lake a dispassionate view of all the beatings of this question, and he must be convinced^ — Look at the present situation of the northcan slates, nearly two hundred thousand individuals, clamorous and frantic on the subject, gaining proselytes daily, loading the tables of Congress hall continually with their ungodly petitions, and say, is it nut reasonable to conclude that the whole north will, at no distant day, become im pregnated with the doctrine. Then, on the other hand, review the south, arid, what do we behold 1 A powerful people, firmly united, determined, to a man, to stand or fall hy this institution. To believe that the abolitionists will not make the general government an instrument to effect then purposes, is madness. That is, ns soon us they shall be able to gain a ma jority in Congress, and that they will as cer tainly do, m my Humble judgment, ns that the . sun shines. 'llicso of the northern people who still retain a regard for the Union, and who still have in their bunds the power over trie abolitionists, have let them alone 100 long already ; they have gained sncli numbers as to maintain sonic standing with their adver saries iti the north, which will make the con test between them a more deadly one, and the victory harder to gain by the friends of the Union in those stales, if tMt should ever be the case. The northern people are slumber ing over the exertions of these funafce, to their own injury ; that is, if the Union is of any advantage to them, and tiiat it is, no sane inipd will pretend to doubt. Because there arc several ways that a dissolution of the Union might grow out of this question, with out Congress ever moving one step towards abolishing slavery in tlie District ol Colunlbia. (The cause of that District is the cause of the south.) For instance, if the citizens of one of the southern states should have their prop erly stolen off, or should an insurrection lake place, and cause that state to rise in its ma jesty and dissolve all connection with their sistc." Pialcs of the north, holding in their lim its such vile ami uoodhke enemies, what would ho the result? The llamo oncO kindled, it never can he quenched. An clecific spJtk would nut move more rapidly than the univer sal feeling of indignation, which would spread throughout the south, and the Union would be dissolved in a blaze. Dues any man, either north or south, who is acquainted with the disposition of the people here, doubt it. 1 am firmly pursuaded that there is at this time, in the south, a growing determination not to suffer themselves to be tampered with much longer. Many believe it is the grossest folly to reason with the northern fanatics; too much of it has already been done. Again, they feel and know that the Bible, the Con* slitution, and all, is on our side. And when we consider the intemperate zeal of the abo litionists to distrust our rights, here is a coldness towards the Union, which, tosay the least of it,argurs that if the abolitionists are not stopped this Union is not much more than a rope of sand. The cry has been, wait until Congress moves on the subject, and then act. But this is waiting until lae Unon is dis. i solved ; for when Congress legis ales on the I subject, the Union is done, there is no salva- 1 lion for it then. If we mean both north and | south to preserve the Union, and to wrest its destiny out of the hands of those vile incendia ries, who are plotting its overthrow. We must move at once; delay is destruction. It requires ] no abstruse philosophical reasoning to prove s this. Let thojlclermmaliou of the South be to arrest the evil at once. And with the view i of doing so, and thereby saving the Union, I i recommend a Southern Convention to be held t the next summer, at such time and place as 1 may suit the states interested, and may be de termined upon hy some more local association ( for the purpose of making a last solemn and .1 grand effort in behalf of the Union, and of ma * lung such united arrangements, (should the ' expression of the final determination of the South tlnoughout tlio Convention not meet j with a proper response from her co-States, as 1 lu enjoy our domestic institutions in peace, or < to dissolve the Union. Let the whole South to (. a man rally under our banner, bearing for its j motto, our domestic institution with peacci or a dissolution of the Union.” The many 1 advantages ofsuclia Convention must rccunr mend it to the favorable notice of all. Ihe great mural weight such a body would have, - the grand spectacle of a whole people insult- t ed and wronged, rising as one man and pro- j rnulgating their final determination to the j world, through such a body, must have im mense weight with the great mass ofthe-peo- | pie of lhe° North who are friendly lo fthe | U>,i„n ; finally it would be the means of draw ing a distant line, over which the Union , would hang suspended, leaving the whole re sponsibility to the good people of the North j to sustain it, or suffer the most splendid fab*- ; nc of human liberty lo be poluled and dc- j stroyed by outrageous and daring fanatics. In conclusion, us I have no motive to conceal my views on any subject more especially on this, shall sign my proper name. K. E. BELCHER. From Florida.

P has been so long a region of political clouds and darkness, that we feared this light of truth could not break in upon it. But We have been ngrecbly disap pointed—and if not entirely illuminated, there are some bright flashes along her honzort — and the time is not distant when she will re joice in the perfect day. From th'e Boston Atlas of Wednesday wb learn that the returns from the New Hamp shire election ofthe 13th are highly encoura ging, and show a great gam for the Whigs The towns of Portsmouth and Dover—last year Loco Foco—have been both redeemed. Samuel Cleaves', the Whig candidate, has been elected in the first senatorial district.— Theie is little doubt the majority for the whig guberna'oriil candidate, James Wilson, Jr. will be 500 in Rockingham county—where his most sanguine friends claimed but a ma jority of 300. The capital of the Stats—Concord—has given Wilson an unprecedented majority of one hundred and sixty voles. Tins is a blow at hi?ad quarters. Four Whigs have been elected from this town to the Slate Legisla ture. Large sums of money were staked and lost on one hundred majority for Governor Hill. Whigs would have willingly com promised for a majority of 10 to 20 votes— such an army of Staid office holders were in the field against them. But the Whigs have carried the largest majority ever carried by j any party in Concord. Portsmouth, which in 1834 gave &, Jackson ; majority ot 124, has now given a Whig j jonty of 1521 . Dover, which in 1832 gave a Jackson ma- ' joriiy of 238, has now given a Whig majority of 205. In all forty one towns have been heard from, in the strongest Tory districts. 'These give Wilson 0,934 voles; Hill 6,429. In 1832 Hie same towns gave Clay 5182—Jackson 5,558. WhiggainOll.
