Mr. Calhoun, says Southern report, purposes
soon 10 resign his seat in the United States Sem
ate. We hope not. The great Nullifier cannot
well be spared from that body, which has been
the noblest in the world, and even yet, with Clay,
Webster and Calhoun among its members not
to speak OF some younger yet hardly less gifted
compeers who now occupy seats upon that floor
it is convucatlon OF winch an American
may justly ieel proud. We want Mr.. Calhoun
IN The Senate to speak and vote upon the admis-
SION Of California, with a constitution prohibiting
slavery, as a State of this Union. Surely SO en-
inent champion of State Rights, will not
shrink from the vindlcatlon of his principles on
that interesting occasion Tribune.

Georgia Election Returns have been re-

the reelection of Gov Towne Q.oco,) certain,
by about 5000 u.ajorily. The Senate Is also
Loco. The House Is IN DOUBT, though prob.
ably the Locos will have it by small ma orily.
Towne was elected Governor two years ago -
The wings however, had small majority IN the

comparatively light. The slavery question has
been The great issue; the locos taking extreme

SNOW STORM

On Sunday last this section of the country
was visited by severe snow storm, very extra
ordinary for the season. The tops Of the high

AT Mortified we saw snow on Monday evening !;

that the ground was covered on Sunday by from
three to six inches of snow.

SLAvEHoLDfNG TRoUBLEs.-W lille passing
down the Ohio River, four years since, we came
in contact with two Kentuckians who stepped on
board at Maysyillo. One of them, yinegar.yis-
aged old man, We ascertained had lost some of his
"peculiar property" who took it into their heads
one morning TO put their trotters in motion in
tue direction Of the Free States. The other was
tall, raw. bonod real son Of Kentucky, who
could blaze away at the Abolitionsis one moment
aud crack jokes with them the next He had
followed two boys who had escaped from the old
man referred to, as far as Sandusky, Ohio; had
them arrested and put in confinement, but from
informally, or want Of proof, the upshot of the
matter was that they were released, and he was
placed in durance vile. After remaining day
or two, however, he was permitted TO depart,
upon payment Of the costs.
While on recent visit to Ripley, we mention
cd the circumstances to friend residing there,
who observed that he was well acquainted with
the old man and his associate that he bad lost
all his slaves, valued at $4,000, but one old wo-
man, and had spent about 81 900 in fruitless at
tempts to recover them. On remarking 10 his
old slave that the others had left, she replied,
YES, massa, all the niggers gone but you and
me-"
He now hires his work done and he told our
friend not long since, that he gets along as well
as when he depended on his slaves to do il.

ing sensible suggestions:
ain too many cases of marriage. one party is
apt to expect to find the other party perfect.
The husband looks for those traits in his wife
which he has long since despaired of ever dis
covering in himself; and the wife often calcu-
lates on finding model in the character of her
husband which is morally inconsistent with hu-
man nature. Much of the torture of the disap-
pointment met with on both sides might be OBJ

success by both parties before matrimony, were

practical common sense in their acquaintance

pect to find a mass of rough experience in store
for them after lis consummation. If parties who
desire to join their fortunes for life have any
sumption, they ought to employ il in making
discoveries with reference 10 each others dispo-
