Magazine? How many in the South will read DR..
Nlarks's volume instead of some Northern produc-
tion! We certainly forget that our minds are d.
rected by the books We read. And can we expect
our country to be all true-all sound in Southern
prineiples-when our first principles are moulded
by Northern authors? Let us encourage home
I.terature-a Southern Literature. The North
read none of our books, and scarcely ever see our
papers, while almost i'll every cottage and hamlet
at the South, may be seen Northern books and
periodicals. But to the BarhanTie book. We
have no hesitation in giving the palm to Semair.
The plan of the potm is extremely simple-the
sentiment excellent. Many noble and spirit-stir-
ring thoughts loom out, like light houses on the
beach, which the traveller would stop moment
to gaze upon. The following, OH page IS, we COLI
slider fine:
= 10 the bold mountain bird, with sunward gaze,
Through hwil.try t.mpess seeks its rock.girt home,
Mounts from its eyrie. and with outstretchd plume,
Scars far above the ,hreatning whrlw,d's sway,
The torrents rush, &c &c.
Again, p. o.: The spirit, speaking of death,
says:
sTis but transit; for in yonder skrs
These effiuent rays shall form dadein
A bright reflex of Deity itself
Next to eternal suffering, were to live
Through an eternity of being here
Upon this spot called earth," &c.
His Elfreideis all We would have her-the only
fault ia, he stops talking of her too Like one
in pleasant dream, We wake before we would.
But space will allow us 10. comment no further.
Ths book is before the public.

Mr.. ealhoun's Speech was not read on Friday.
Nr. Butler, on Thursday 2sth ult., made request
that the Senate would hear it on Monday, which
was yesterday, to be read-Mr. Calhoun would be
in his seat 1t was with the greatest unanimity
accorded. On the same day Mr. Bell, of Tennes-
sec, introduced the following Resolutions COM
promise. ......:- .'..
The first resolution admits the State of Colorado
on an equal footing with the original States. This
State IS TO be between the Colorado and the Trini-
ty rivers.
The second proposition is TO admit prospective
", as State. the country between the Trinity and
Rio Grande, and South of latitude "a degrees.
ihe third proposition is to purchase Of Texas
her claims to Territory South Of 42 degrees and
North 81 degrees.
The line of26 30, he argued, would be ofno use
to the South. What be proposed was all that the
South could practically possess. Slavery could
not 20 where it was improbable. The North
would get at least ten more States from Mexico,
Oregon, Canada, besides Nebraska and Minnesota
He did not think it expedient to embarrass this
proposition with any provisions as to slavery in
this District.
What want the South with Compromise when
they have all to give-the North all to gn'.
