1t will be seen by the extract we make
to-day that he neither offers nor accepts an
offer of compromise. More than this, he
asks as stipulation necessary to continued

he has helped to lose, or in other words
to spit the republican principle in the face,
that majority must rule. In all this ii
would seem that Mr.. Calhoun is disposed
to make his continuance in the Union as
difficult as possible, by the exhibition Of
"a perfectly ultra spirit, and the demand OF
conditions which he knows TO be utterly
unattainable.

OwIse to the rise in the Potomac, con-
sequeat upon the heavy and continued
rains in the early part of last week, con-
siderable loss was experienced by Mr..
Bowers, the Contractor for the Shepherds
town Bridge. The temporary rail road,
trusseling, crane, &C., were swept away
down the river, though thanks TO the Wig
orous exertions of himself and hands IN
his employ, nearly the whole of the ma
terial has been since recovered. Not
wi,hstanding these drawbacks the work is
proceeding at good pace, and in the
course of ten or fifteen days we expect to
see the Eastern Section SPAWNED over.
The timbers are all ready, and the piers
have attained their full height.

Such rant as this carries its own anti.
dote. 1t is the very error of the moon
1t arrays conscience against conscience 70
lis own overthrow, for whilst The Cbr;..
tian, like every other man, is directly Ger.
tain about the duties he owes TO the con.
stimted laws Of his country, the dutv of
hostility to Slavery rests, at best. even
for him, only upon indirect inference.
But for the admission into the Cons,-
tuition of the power of rSeovery of fugitive
slaves, no Union could have been formed
why then do people who enjoy the
thousand benefits which this Union con.
fers} continue TO exhibit disposition
which the world must see is principally
remarkable for its bad faith
In another place the Inquirer SAYS,
" We (the Norih) have the power; the
responsibility rests with us,and our whole
duty lies at this time in the principIc-no
compromise" Precisely. This, as we
said in our former article, is the point,
"we have the power" Well, and let us
say that the South have power also, a
power more than match for the other,
which springs from the consciousness of
being in the right in this struggle. The
South plants herselfupon the Constitution,
and this makes her position impregnable.
Northern Fanaticism may rant its lungs
away, but the truth is, and we believe the
Inquirer and It's co-thinkers have begun
to know it, the South must be rictOri-

The Governor Of Florida
On Dis,tnion, &c.

The proposed Southern Convention is
"A STRONGLY condemned at the South as 1t
j. at the North, and it is doubtful whether
majority Of Southern States will be rep.
resented in it. 1t is a second edition OF
the Hartford Convention, and will be as
unavailing to do good. 1t is thus spoken
of by Governor Brown, Of Florida, in re-
ply 10 letter from the Senators and Rep
preventative from that State, requesting
him TO take measures 10 have the State rep
resented in the convention:
But it is said that the States hare acted
by resolutions, reports and addresses, and
" they (the North) will not believe the
States are in earnest and mean what they
say" Then what more could this pro-
posed Southern Convention do 10 make
them believe We are IN earnest, unless,
indeed, it is to be considered, and 10 con-
rider itself revolutionary body2 What
more could it do than to resolve and re-
affirm, unless to propose violent and ex-
ira constitutional remedies! If it is cal
led for this end, Imost solenanLy protest
againstig The time has not arrived for
such measures and l pray God such
time may never arrive. There are, how
ever, restles spirits amongst us, who have
calculated the ualale of the Union, and
would perhaps, sell it for mess Of pot
<tSge. Since the Southern Convention
has been projected, a Southern Confeder-
alton has been more than dreamed Of.
And when the Southern Convention
meets who can tell what its members
may not attempt to accomplish, not thought
of bv those who sent them there =
Should they attempt measures dangerous
to the permanence of this Union, where
is the power to arrest them! Whose
voice so potent as to say to them" thus
far shalt thou go and no farther !" How
long may they remain in session =
What may be the term of their appoint
ment? These, and many other questions,
NAV and should be asked by rejecting
men, before they 60 too far to retract.
II is asserted that this Convention will
be composed of the most wise, honest,
and discreet statesmen Of the South, and
therefore. none of these dangers are to be
apprehended. We should not lay this
catering JUNCTION to our souls. These
are times of excitement, and men remark
able for wisdom, honesty and discretion,
are rarely, if ever, conspicuous in promo
ing schemes Of agitation. Such men, at
such times, and in such schemes, usually
give place to the restless politician and
for,card den,agogue, who generally man,
age 10 render themselves prominent and
popular, and of course successful; and |
confess that even the possibility that a
majority of wild, visionary, or reckless
men, might gel into the convention, would
cause me to tremble at the idea Of placing
the rights and interests of the South, and
the safety OF this Union, upon the result
Of its deliberations.
regret that il should have been deem
ed expedient at this time by Southern
Members of Congress. 10 cOuntenance the
getting up this .SUatkera Contention be-
fore any overt act ofaggresion on South
ern rights and instructions has been COM
mitted."

The New York Christian Inquirer is
stark raving mad on the subject Of Slavery
in the Territories, and the restitution OF
fugitive slaves. Shutting itself up in
Bedlam of its own building ii Is resoly-
ed that the light Of reason shall not Pene-
tratc Cor its illumination. The Inquirer
can do as it plcases. 1t IS generally 81
reasonable, intelligent and elevated, thai
perhaps it gets relief for its more earthborn
attributes in in(requent escaPades from the
restraining dominion OF its higher self, and
feels like the poet,
Dulce est dcsipere in loco.
The Inquirer wili as surely find itsell
to leeward on this subject as that to-mor-
rows sun will rise. The turmoil in and
out Of Congress has had one great ana
good effect; it has enlightened tens OF
thousands rs to the true character of the
Constitution under which they live, and
have their social and polite being. The
Inquirer itself will participate in this ben
eft after awhile, though the transition very
naturally brings some painful throes. W,
are so sure that if ever Slavery is 10 b,
removed it must be done through other
than political agencies, that we are ready
to exult in the bright glory that It's extinc.
ton shall one day put upon the brow Of
Christianity. Only in this way can
Slavery be well and safely abolished, and
in this there is every thing 10 hope and
moth ng 10 fear. Cannot the Inquirer
participate in this sentiment, and with Il,
prefer the way Of the " still small voice"
to the fire, fury and whrlwind of fierce
passions and sectional fanaticism! The
wrath of man is not necessary TO fulfil the
Providence of God.
Hear the Inquirer on Mr. Clay's con
ciliatory efforts. II says:
mir. Clay S resolutions, with his speeeh-prob-
ably the most favorable exposition of the grounds

Mas. MILLER. In speaking of the false ru-
,nors respecting this unfortunate woman the
Buffalo Express says:
1--WE have seldom alluded 10 this affair since
we announced the disappearance OF the lady IN
question at the Falls. We have refrained from
doing so from considerations of duty to III be-
rea,e ed family. We have not as yet seen or
heard any well authenticated statement showing
that Mrs. Miller did not come to any untmely
end. Although the papers throughout the coun-
try have teemed with statements representing
Mrs Miller alive and travelling in different States
,inder circumstances calculated to lacerate the
feelings OF an afflicted family, yet far, all have
turned out unfounded when Investigated. How
cruel, then, to the friends and relatives, TO at
tempt to cast disgrace upon one who is believed
20 DC dead, and whose memory is yet cherished
with fraternal and paternal regard,
