SPIRIT OF SONG.
By HARLEs AIN.

Thou speak'st of stars, like lovers eyes,
That tremble with excess of light
Tell us what star OF all the skies
Can set an honest purpose right,
What planet aid an upright mind,
And thou'lt do something for mankind.
Thou speak'st of magic tides that flow
Just rs the moon is curved or round
Tell us what tide on earth can show
Where simple justice may be found,
The tide that leaves not truth behind,
And thou'lt do something for mankind.
What fount will keep affection true
What spell will rivet friendship fast
What flower will blighted faith renew,
And keep hope blooming to the last
o, teach the heart but these to find,
And prove an angel to mankind

ton of its fulflment with accusations in
volving the personal honor of the incum-
bents. Would the Wings have Wing cab
met retire on account of suspicious OF their
integrity' Would they drive Cabinet from
power by countenancing and circulating sur
misses of this nature' This is not the way
to achieve purpose, and therefore we are
glad to know that no Wing member of
Congress is responsible for what appeared
in the Express. If there should arise a
political necessity for change of Admin
istration; if the condition of parties, the
progress of affairs should indicate such a
change, we apprehend that the members
of the Cabinet would not be left to hear
the first of it from such correspondence
as we have been noticing. The members
Of the Cabinet are gentlemen of character,
"able men," and "hard-working public
servants" and should be approached with
candor and kindness. They would not
consent to hold Office if they imagined
themselves hindrance to the public bust
ness, or blight to the Wing party, or a
burden upon the popularity of a President
who has trusted them with confidence
which deserves the requital of any per-
sonal sacrifice. Should they come to the
opinion that their resignation was needful to
any Of the high objects of government, to
successful administration, or to the renown
and consideration of the President, they
would return their commissions with alac-
rity to chief who bestowed them upon
them, and with them a gift of generous and
affectionate trust. The correspondent of
the Express would have US believe that
there is a war of ms and outs amongst the
Whigs-just such war as opposite par
ties make war of reproaches, intrigue,
accusation, and personal hostility. We
deny this. There should be no hesitation
in one Wing speaking with another. The
Cabinet ought to be treated by the Wings
of Congress as brothers embarked in the
same cause. And we believe that if the
dissatisfaction was such as it is sought
to have the public believe, the Wings of
one branch of the Government would COM
mune and consult with the Wings of the
other, as brothers should, in all kindness,
in all candor, in sincerity of heart and
friendliness of purpose, and not whisper
their discontents to listening ears, to be
picked up and bruited abroad in connex-
ion with injurious suspicious and covert
charges against the personal integrity of
Wing Cabinet.

CALIroENIASs-The CRY 10 still they come. We
stated last week that more than three hundred en-
igrant teams had crossed the Iowa river at this point
Since then there has been immense increase in the
number. We have taken pains TO inquire at the
different ferries, and we learn that nearly
dred teams have already passed through Iowa city;
and the emigration has yet but barely com.
menced. IL IL absolutely alarming. The number
from johnson county will be about one hundred
and twenty FIVE But few Of them had yet left. TAX
ing this county a criterion, and supposing they
will go from all parts Of the State in the same ratio
as from here there will be not less than ten thou
sand that will leave Iowa in the next two or three
weeks. Iowa must feel the loss Of so many able
bodied men leaving the State at one time. And
when we take into consideration that on an aver
age, they will take with them not less than foe
hundred dollars each, IL viii be perceived that we
have reason TO fear the acquisition Of California s
not calculated TO be any immediate benefit to our
young state And were il not for the constant
and rapid influx Of emgrants from other States 10
this, the loss would be felt to a much greater e1-
tent. Bot we have doubt from what we wit
messed last fall and from present indie atoms that
the increase 10 present population will be from
thirty TO fifty thousand during the ensuing season
Then we say, boys, 60 il; and may you be eco
nomical, may you be industrious, may success at
tend you, and may you get your share Of the rocks
and with them hurry back 70 assist in making our
beautiful prairies smile and blossom as the /"

HomIcrpE.-Lsst evening sad event occurred
near Dauphin street, which resulted In the
death Of David White, who was well known TO most
Of the older citizens. II appears that, from some
past difficulty, he drew pistol on a gentleman
and fired, but missed bis aim. The latter then
drew a revolving pistol and fired two shots. Both
Of them took effect In the breast Of White, who fell
dead almost simultaneously Jackson surrendered

thousand dollars.

this sad tragedy arc such that we cannot, with

Hon. II. Il. Hutchinson.
Sin i: Having been invited, by resolution OF the
body which you preside, to cooperate with it
in requesting Mrs. Calhoun TO permit the remains
finer late husband and illustrous statesman to
'repose" in Charleston, beg leave, respectfully,
to say that, should the family Of the deceased SUBJ
NIT the whole matter 10 the decision Of the people of
South Carolina, j, their representative, would,
in such event, decline TO accede to the wish of
the civil authorities Of the city, mainly because
not in accordance with the public feelings Of the
State.
All that pertains to Mr.. Calhoun is the property
Of the Commonwealth, and where his body shall
permanently lie ought 10 be question for its
stituted authorities 10 settle
After full and free conversation with the MEM
bers of the family, in this city, am warranted
in assuring you that wherever his remains shall be
deposited on their arrival, there will be their final
restng-place. To disinter them for another re-
moval, in my and their judgment, would create
feelings Of painful character. To the capitol,
therefore, let them be conveyed. As Columbia Is
the seat of the Legislative Assembly Of South Caro-
lima and its College, IL Is peculiarly appropriate
that the trainers Of laws, and the youth Of the
State, should be increasingly reminded of their re-
the grave Of him, who is ever 10 be much re-
vered for his virtue and wisdom, would be well
calculated TO inspire.
am fully aware of the deep attachment of the
people Of Charleston 10 our late Senator and Of the
many cogent in favor Of their proposal, that
his body should be entombed, at least temporarily
in the metropolis Of the State. In the expression Of
an adverse opinion, my regret is mitigstod by the
conviction that am governed by high sense Of
duty.

FoR CALrroRNIA.-On Thursday last n company
Of six individuals left this place for the golden Fl
Dorado. They go the overland route, and were
rugged for travelling in the bsst possible manner.
They all carry with them best wishes for their
success in obtaining the shining "dust." May
they have pleasant journey, and a speedy return
with their pockets full OF rocks"
II is truly astonishing TO see the vast number Of
persons that arc daily leaving for California. Al
most daily large companies are starting, and in
every quarter do we hear the note Of preparation.
Mechanics deserving their work benches, and
sacrificing their properly 10 raise the means 10 carry
them 10 the great Fl Dorado Of the western world.
That such an immense emigration will have a ten
dency TO dcpress business we cannot entertain n
doubt. The emigrants are carrying off large
amounts Of the circulating currency, which Of
course viii be long time returning; and conse-
quenly this scarcity Of money will have tendency
10 make Chimes hard" The spirit ofthis progress
i've age Is carrying every thing before H. and what
will be the result OF this golden speculation IL hard
10 forcsee. We fear that in the end II will be Of
particular advantage 70 the country at large.
