The Address of the Southern Members,
BALrlMoHe. Jan. 2S.-Calhoun's address. which
has been adopted by the Southern Convention, fills
four columns Of the Washington Union The adj
dress commences with a recital Of the wrongs sus-
tanned by the South in the actions OF Northern
people in regard to fugitive slaves, who were pro
tected against the constitutional rights Of The master.
Is then gives detailed history of the aggressions
committed upon Southern institutions and Southern
rights, at the time OF the Missouri compromise;
describes the gross inequality and injustice of the
Wilmot proviso; directs public attention to the
violent, oppressive and unwarrantable acts of the
present Congress, and concludes by urging unan
unity and sympathy among the slaveholding States.
1t says that the want of such harmony and united
ness has produced the present lamentable position
of affairs, and urges that the slaveholding States
should be immovabe in defence of their rights, re-
gardless of consequences says they would be usti
fled in using any means to repel so dangerous
blow, and that the abolionists would be RESPONSE
bic for all. The principal feature of the address
consists in invoking a closer union of the South in
defence Of its rights.
Berren's address is similar TO Calhoun's, but is
to the whole people, and is moderate
in its tone.

Straits. He is polite and affable-which may be
deemed among the necessaries' to those going on
voyage OF four or five months-and his long ex-
perience on the Pacific coast enables him to give
the practical information so de irable to emgrans.
The vessel lies at the foot of st. Peter street, First

passage, may be assured these gentlemen will not
dispatch the vessel without an abundance of the
