Nj. CalhOun'S Address as President of the
Memphis Convention.

Gentlemen of the Conuent,on:
thank you for the honor you have con-
ferred on me by inviting me to preside
over your deliberations.
The object of the meeting, so far as
have learned, is the development of the
resources of the West and South. And,
gentlemen, it is for you to determine what
| they are, by what means they can be best
developed, and also. how far the aid of the
General Government may be invoked to
carry them out; and here, trust, il may
not be deemed improper TO state my own
opinion on these points.
The region occupied by the Western
and Southern States is of vast extent. IL
may, indeed, be properly divided into three
parts.
/: The Mississippi valley that magni.
ficent country drained by the mighty
stream whose current rolls by your city
which extends nearly through the tempe
| rate zone, from North to South, and from
the Rocky TO the Allegheny mountains,

PROSPERITY OF THE NEW ENGLAND SrArEs.
"A correspondence between Hon. A. H.
Everett and Prof. Geo. Tucker is in the
course of publication in the Democratic
Review, involving a disputation on the
Malthusian theory. Prof. I. is disciple
of Nautilus, Mr.. E. anti-Malthus. In one
OF his letters, Mr.. E. alluded to the New
England States--particularly to Massachu-
setts-as the most prosperous and best go
vefned commonwealth on earth, with no
products Of the soil for export but granite
and ice. Prof T., in reply, assigns as the
cause
"She has at this time All the benefits of
the restrictive system and that of free trade.
She derives from the Constitution of the
United States an unrestricted trade to eve-
ry part of the Union, most portions of
which are far inferior to her in ability to
manufacture, but superior to her in cheap
ness OF raw material. She can thus pro-
cure food from them cheaper tn an she can
raise it, and have large and growing
market for her manufactures; and farther.
by means OF legal restrictions, foreign RI
walls, who might, by their cheaper labor and
cheaper capital, underse her, are either
excluded from the same domestic market.
or subjected to burdens from which she is
exempt. Il is on those accounts that she
ia now experiencing unexampled prospe-
rity."
In other words, this ''unexampled pros
perity" is produced by direct legal plumber
of other interests in the country. The pri-
ces of the farmers products have been for
several years past continually declining
under the restriction of its sale to the boast
ed 'home Market" until it affords but a
meagre remuneration for the toll of its pro-
duction, while the profits of the manufac-
turing capitalists have been constantly in
creasing, and amid the prostration of other
interests, their prosperity is unexampled.'
As for the growers Of our great staple, cot
ton, it has been truly said they are but the
superintendents, the factors, of the pro-
tected nabobs, the favorites of government,
who reap the profits of its production.
| A regulation so unfair and unjust cannot
stand and we rejoice to see that the Ill
lers of the soil all over the Union are be-
coming united and identified in opposition
to it. The American planter and farmer
want the world for market, and their in
terests demand that this country should
lsad, not follow, in the establishment of
! free trade.
While true national feeling forbids that
we should envy the prosperity of any por-
ton of our common country, or any class
of its citizens, it is asking entirely too
much OF patriotism to create that prosper
ity at the expense and to the light of other
sections, and by exactions from other class.

MEMPHIS CONVENTION body was
IN session three days. Mr.. Calhoun presi-
ded, We have copied his address on TAX
ing the chair, which contains many sound
practical views. and will repay perusal.
The proceedings, as might have been ex-
Pected, were characterized by much con-
fusion. A mob of 600 men, collected from
16 States, almost every other man having
some magnificent, moonshine project to
propose, it may well be imagined, would
soon be" in most admired disorder" We
cannot give even a sketch of the proceed
ings, which were rich in the extravagance
and absurbity of some of the schemes GRO
posed. We must content ourselves with
transcribing, from the report in the Men,
phis papers, summary of the projects con-
cocted and brought before The Convention
by GENT E. P. Gaines, who was the oldest,
and should have been, per consequence,
the most sober and discreet, of all the men,
bers present:
"Gen. Gaines submitted resolution re-

favor of Naval depot at New Orleans
also, improved Dry Docks at New Orleans,
Mobile, Pensacola, &c. &c. Was also in
favor Of erecting Arsenals of the first class
at various points on the Gulf and in the
interior. Desired the establishment of bar
racks, alsoy sufficient for the accommodation
of large military force. He recommend
ed the construction of war steamers, carry
ing f2 TO % guns, to be employed on the
Mississippi r:ver-thought 90 an appropri-
ate number, to cost $4,000 each. Said
the Cadets at West Point should be requir-
ed to perform FIVE months labor on railroads
and snagboats. [Good j He desired the
establishment Of military schools at the diff
ferent arsenals before mentioned, &C. &c.

The Genera! urged the completion of the
railroad from Nashville to New Orleans
from Mobile to New Orleans; from Savan'
nah, Ga, to Mobile from Charleston e
Nashville, and on to Memphis, to be con
tinued to Little Rock, in Arkansas--thenct
TO Fort Smith, and on to Texas. We will
not go further, said the General, than thu

was also in favor of Railroad to Jferlc
that her people might have an opportu2l

OREGON MISUNDERSTANDING OF WAR
WITH GREAT BRITAIN.-The last steamer
brings accounts of extensive war prepare
tons IN Great Britain, supposed to be in
anticipation of a conflict with this country
or, what is more probable, with view TO
intimidate our government into surren-
der of portion of our territory on the Pa
cifc. The Liverpool Times says:
"The dock-yards and arsenaIs of Eng
land exhibit extraord mary activity at the
present moment. In many of the outports,
steam frigates of the largest class have
been ordered by the government, to be rea-
dy by fixed period, according to the con-
tracts, and the builders have been bound
in heavy penalties to have them ready at
the required time. In addition, surveys
have been made of the coast and of the
ontports, and preparations are also being
made for placing the whole in position of
the greatest strength and impregnabilitv.
/ But the natural inquiry is, whence this
warlike activity? Those who pro-
fess to see farther into milestone than their
neighbors, point to Oregon for solution of
the mystery. President Polk, say they, is
determined TO have the disputed territory,
irrespective of the consequences. The
comparative weakness of the wings in the
!, House, and the strong feelings which in
: f1uence large portion of the citizens OF
: the United States upon this question, are
adduced as potent reasons for the prepare
tons of the onslaught, of which the dock
: yards of Britain give induitable proof
S The preparations to which we allude, are
? unquestionably matters of fact"
Should the President reiterate the posi-
# stion assumed in his inaugural, in hi
j. forthcoming message, and should Congress
: considering our title g clear and unques
/, tionable,'' proceed to extend the protection
b OF the government over those possession
(which events are as certain as that Con
