MIR. CALHOUN AND THE "UNIoN" on CALI
roRNIA-In February, lS47, Mr. Calhoun. in
The Senate OF the United States, offered a
series of resolutions, among which we fiud The
following
ReSOlUed, That it is fundamental principle
in our political creed, that people, forming a
constitution, have The unconditional right to
form and adopt the government which they
may think best calculated 10 secure their lib
erry, properly and happiness, and, in conformi-
ty thereto, no olher condition is imposed by the
Federal constitution on state, in order 10 be
admitted into this Union, except that its con.
s,ilution shall be republican :; and The imposi-
tion of any other by Congress would not only
be in violation of the constitution, but in direct
conflict with the principle on which our po!I-
ical system rests.
The Union of the 9TH February, 1S49, res
pecting the policy Of admitting California as a
l.
eress has any jurisdiction over the subject of
slavery, and contends iha, The people of the ter
riories alone, when they frame a constitution,
preparatory 10 admission into The Union, have
a right 10 speak and be heard on The maller.-
This fact being settled, i, really seems TO us
that This exciting question might be speedily
adjusted, if calm counsels prevail. The South
contends for her honor, and for The grea, prin-
cipIes OF non-in,ervenlion and state equality
Why, then, cannon all unite, and permit Cali
fornIa 10 come INTO The Union as soon as she
can frame a constitution? Then, according TO
the doctrines which prevail on beth sides of
OF Mason and Dixon's line, she may constiiu-
lionalIy establish her domestic institutions on
any basis consistent with republican principles
The South could lose nothing By adopting this
course. On The contrary, she would save all
for which she contends"

EYadiEig the Law.

The folly oflrying 10 make people temperate
by statute enactments, has been we'll llIuslra-
led in Massachusetts. A few years ago, that
state passed law prohibiting the sale of nox-
icaling liquors in less quantity than fifteen
gallons. The results, in some instances, was,
that men scraped together their available prop.
erty, and. purchased fifteen gallons, and were
drunk over i, SO long as il lasted, when under
the old law, they would not hare used one
fourth that amount Of liquor. In other cases,
rom dealers kept striped pigs 10 show at six
pence sight, and gave their patrons drink
of rum inlo The bargain. Al a late Trial for
selling liquor in Essex county, it was proven
that dealers in rum, 10 avoid a, 10 them, odous
law, sold il as "essence Of molasses,' as "West
India beer" and under various others fictitious
names, showing that the compulsory law was
of no avail, except TO be broke on every hand,

Martin Luther's Wedding Ring.

The New York Tribune says: We had
day or two since the pleasure of examining
most Interesting relic, being nothing less than
the wedding ring with which Martin Luther,
the great reformer, was married. It is of gold
curiously wrought being broad and fiat on the
back side ofthe finger, with small ruby set in
the centre. On the inside is this inscription ::
" Dr. Martin Luther, Caharino Won Buren,
June l3, 1928" The inscription is consldera-
bly, obscured by wearing. The ring was
brought 10 this country by Charles Luiher,
lipeal defendant of the reformer, who has abun-
dant proof of its authenticity and of his own in
the certificates of the magistrates OF the city of
Maedeburg, in Prussia where he formerly re-
sided, and of Ministers ofPrussa through W hose
hands i, has passed. Il was once The property
of an ancestor of the present King Of Prussia
and by him was restored 10 the family The
presen, King, as we are informed, has offered B.
900 thalers, or about 81 800 fox II, an offer
which was refused by it's present possessor'
who was last summer forced 10 emigrate on ac-
count OF being involved in political disturbances
II is certainly singular destiny that bas
brought this valuable relic 10 the New world.
