Colho,r On the one hand, and his meta
phvsical distractions on State Rights on
the other, verify believe, our southern
and national executives have forgotten
that VIC were an agricultural and com
mercial people-thotwe had any interest
in either cotton, sugar, or rice, SO COM
pleteIy have they been taken up with his
bubbles. Mr.. Calhoun's rise, at first,
among US, was like that Of giant-the
splendor Of his inteIlect dashed at once,
far behind him, all southern competition,
and for while, tho light that burst from
his genids. like the rays Of the material
sun, it enlightened our way, whilst at
the same time, il warmed our state and
national interests into life and anima-
ton, and with it, carried US captive at his
will--but alas! he TOO has now deserted
US, and he now stands opposed to all those
great measures which give vigor aud vi
tally to southern labor and southern in
terests. The light he now emits, al
though grand and sublime, is no longer
the light of heaven, butihe corruscations
bursting from volcano, which, while
it serves to reveal where he stands, yet
warns to flee the guIph that soon would
enwrap both US and him. But metaphor
nside-we haze our rights and liberties
now in our own hands despite Of nullifi-
cation, and who dare modest them9 We
have our property and our domestic in
stitutions, and scho dare disturb them? In
the language Of Bonaparte, when he pla-
ced the iron crown of Desiderius upon
his head, we can say of our property,
"God has given it to us,and wo be to that
man-who dares to touch it?'' Then, why
should our rulers devote their time and
attention TO the metaphysical abstrac
tons of Mr.. CaIhoun,o or any other man to
the neglect of our vital interest both at
home and abroad
In the cotton planting interests alone,
we have capital engaged of nine hun
dred millions Of dollars, and an export
trade more than double all the balance Of
the Union besides, and yet not one OF our
state executives, so far as | know, have
ventured 10. call the attention Of the gen.
eral government, to the necessity of hav-
ingthat interest represented abroad. The
tobacco interest, although the largest
amount exported any one year falls short
OF ten millions of dollars and on an aver
age of any given number Of years is
greatly below that sum, yet that interest
has to be represented by special Minis
