glorious burst from the old true Carolina heart OF
Cbarleston-that which gushed overwhelming and

seemed as if the whole population of our city had
rolled itself together to the new Theatre, which was
thronged from the back of the stage TO the roof
every tier Of boxes, the pitt the lobbes the windows,
the doors all crowded, and hundreds going away
unable TO obtain an entrance: and what cheers were
those that rung to receive him, and accord 'W Eli

exhiliratng spectacle. The Wings by their move
ment on Saturday had rashly troubled the waters,
the fountains Of tho mighty deep of public sentiment
broken up and looked the sea oil heads
their rapt souls speaking in their eyes, that heaved in
the body OF the edIfce, and rose wave alter wave
from tier to tier, like exulting pillows sweeping IN

moment.
."Twss worth ten years Of common life,
Charleston has spokcn-and the feeble effort of the
Wings here is crushed-forever. Let the Union change
as il may, there is fixed majority of republicanism IN
the Palmetto State, which is mistaken the basis of
her mountans-unmoveable the solid earth OF her
soil Let our friends in every district respond-and lei
the one voice Of Carolina be heard
The official account Of our meeting, will be furnished
US for publication in Monday pnper-in the meantime
we need only say that it such as TO crafty the
proudest feeling of every CarolnIan, the largest and
most enthusiastic gathering ofour citizens that we ever
saw or heard Of in Charleston. The first and second
tier Of the elegant new Theatre showed galaxy OF
beauty surprising any that graced it beforehand
besides it seemed if all citizens were there, and
that the country had rushed mo town.
The Hon. Henry Deas presided with that prompt
ness and dignity CHARACTERISTIC OF him as presiding
oflicer-and opened the meeting in brief address,
pervaded by that glow of enthusiasm which carrying
the feeling Of youth into age shows that the heart can
not die.
After the Address and Resolutions had been read and
adopted with reclamation, MIR. Calhoun was called for
and received as no man but he in the Union be re-
ceiyed by Charleston audience, in brief and lucid
exposition Of the grounds OF opposition to the now
avowed policy of the dominant party IN the Union, he

nailed her Palmetto standard to the shattered mast Of

What noble of pride and gadness to John
G. Calhoun TO be to the Senate Of the Union the
sole bearer of that 1ag-to feel himself backed by
such people-to feel as he felt, this OCCASION the
beating of the very heart of Carolina know that he
lives in that heart and that it is world enough for the
proudest ambition
RI On Yesterday Mr.. Calhoun left here for Washington
in the Wilmington Boat, and number of our citizens
assembled upon the wharf and gave him farewell
cheer but the highest point had been gained nothing
could go beyond the glorious reception which meet
ing gave him.
i We are gratfed that the party improved the occa-
sion to organize for work, and rashy dared as they
have been prepared TO make their strength felt in The
approaching bye election for the State Legislature.
