servlley promise to behave well in the fu-
tnre, and hun.by ask the South If they
will please to condescend, as an act Of inf
mite kindness 10 remain in the Union. This
is the ultmaium Of the Speech.
As We stated, at the commencement of
this article, Mr.. Calhoun had an opportu-
nifty now to assume high patriotic posls-
ion, and TO earn for himself a more honor
able and lasting fame than he has ever
yet achieved. But he has refused to take
advantage of the time and the means, and
he has come out. at what may be consid-
cred the close Of his career, like dying
Gladiator, John T.. Cahounish, in his
widest days, all over. He is naughty,
cold, inperious the South is all right, and
the North is all wrong. Everythi' G must
now be yielded to The former, OF she will
rebel aud withdraw from the family circle.
This speech will accomplish no good ii
pours no oil upon the troubled waters, and
it throws no light upon the surrounding
darkness. II is a misfortune greatly TO be
lamenied that a man like Mr.. Calhoun, on
the rery verge Of the grave, should be will
ling 10 exert his dying powers to embarass
the prosperity of the Union, and add fuel
to the kinding fire.

THE TRUE VIEW OF WoMANHooD.-lt
was the remark Of an able writer that,
whatever may lie the customs and laws
of county, women always gives the tone
TO its morals" Every intelligent mind
mus, be forcibly struck with the truth of
this assertion. In all countries and in all
ages The nalionl morals have been gradu
ated by the greater or less purity Of its
women. Ancient Greece, with all its skill
IN art, was desolate country and in an
cient Greece female virtue and female in
England, and The United States are the
three countries, which, Of all the modern
world, exhibi, The most mortality and in
Germany, Engla and the United States
the female character is more pure than in
other nations. The peculiar influence Of
the sect is such, that nothing which they
dislike en- really live. Let woman once
set the seal of her disapproba,ion on any
habit ofman, We care rot what it is, and
the habit disappears. The most vicious,
as well as the best Of our sect, feel and
obey this law of nature. Few meG have
any standard of their own by VIII 'ch to
regulate their conduct towards women !;
but take the standard shc assumes for her
self, and treat her respectfully, or otherwise
as her conduct warrants.
All this is so evidently true that we need
not enlarge upon it. But does not this
fact in nature decide, to a great extent at
least, the controversy respecting what are
a nation are out The exponenis Of is morals,
and if women give tone to the morals, are
they not The ultimate source from which
The stalutc-Jook ltselfis derived There
can be no question as TO the truth Of this
fat. How idle, theIeiore,-how worse
thJn idle, how foolish,-is any controversy
b. ~ cen the sexes, ss 10 their mutua!
rights Let woman be pure, if she would
make man better let her own sentiments
be noble, and man will be noble too. AS
a wife she Influences the husband /; as
a mother she forms the character of the
child and in both positions she wields for
good or III, the destinies Of the world
That We have so many useless men, living
without any high purpose in life, is owing
10 the fact that we have such numbers of
frivolous wives and careless mothers That
man are often so vicious is mos, frequently
the faul, OF women, who tolerate and ev-
en- admire, in spite of, nay because of
their vices. There is no inferiorty, as
" hole in either sect. Each differs from lis
opposite, man from woman, as woman from
man bu. IN this very difference consists,
when they are united in marriage, the
harmony Of existence. AS the deep bass
Of the one, joined TO the brd-like treble
Of the other, constitutes the highest kind
Of music, so man and woman, by sweetest
concert, move on in heavenly harmony,
when bU1h are true 10 Themselves aud to
the real duties Of life.
