In view of Mr. Calhoun's sickness, we have
heard it remarked by more than pne calm,
honest minded citizen, that ifhe were to die
at this time, his death would be blessing to
the Union. Without supporting this oPin-
ion, we do certainly think that it is blessing
his voice has not been heard in Congress this
session on the Slavery question, for we he
leve it wonld only lave served TO still more
distract the minds of our representatives, and
strengthen the disunion faction. How differ
ent are the positions occupied by John c.. CAL
houn and Henry Clay. Both eminent Sates-
men. both supported at home and admired
abroad by warm friends, and the public lives
of both since they have come into the field OF
action. interviewer with the history of their
country. But we behold one the acknow-
III edged leader ola trea sonable faction bent up
on the dissolution of the Union, and the other
Iaboring with an earnestness that rises to en-
thusiasm, and with 4 strength only belonging
TO the great Statesman OF Kentucky, to pre-
serve that Union.
In regard to Mr.. Calhoun's health. the
Washington correspondent ofthe Philadelphia,
U. S. Gazette, speaks thus:
"Mr. Calhoun has comparatively relapsed
into the dangerous condition, which so much
excited the apprehension of his friends before
his recent temperance in the Senate, and it
has now become extremely doubtful whether
he will be able TO fulfil their and his own
wishes by appearing in the present debate.
4 The very prohibition which has been i'm
posed upon him, from participating in this dis
cusson is one of the exciting causes of his
illness, for his mind is as restless and absorb
ed with the subject as if he was prepared to
enter the arena and engage with every gla-
dator who ventured to accept his gauntlet
1t is in vain to close our eyes to the melan-
choly fact, that Mr.. Calhoun is gradually. il
not rapidly, passing from the scene which he
has so long honored with eminent ability and
with character. despite all his political err
rors, which has reflected honor on the station
and the country. The sentiments which he
now entertains and expresses are calculated
TO excite any other than gratifying reflections
He speaks ola dissolution Of The Union as not
only inevitable. but desirable, and looks to the
Nashville Convention as the first great step
towards It's consummation.
1.-THE President returned at a late hour last
night from his visit to Richmond having been
provided witha special conveyance. 1t is re-
lated, that during his speech at the ceremony
Of laying the corner stone. he referred to the
obligations imposed by his oath of Office
amidst the unhappy differences which dis
tracted the country, and declared his purpose
to shed his own blood freely TO preserve the
Union. Such a sugycrtion is full OF mean
ing, and if viewed in the temper in Which il
was intended, may be made to exercise a
beneficial influence"

equal quantity. At Ncwburg, WnsIow, Jas

there were more than 10000 head packed
making South of White River and West OF
Spencer county, about 50, 600 head, instead Of
SOC
Sixteen thousand head are put down for the
quantity packed on White River Any per
son at all acquainted with that trade with the
packing points and the quantity packed al
each, must see ut a glance that the estimate
is far below the quantity packed on either
branch of White River. have no doubt the
writer has been at some pains 10 collect the
information, and wishes to be accurate, but
this only shows how little reliance is 10 he
placed on statistical tables, unless we know
the manner of collecting the facts.
The Pork business in the West is only in its
inf:pncy. The great valley of the Mississippi
must be the region from which the wor will
draw their surplus of Pork and Lard, and it
behooves US to be well informed about it in all
its ramifcations. from raising the best and
most improved pigs, to ''cutting and curing"
to please the most ''fastidious taste" not only
OF our own country, but of Europe. Pork

who affords almost us much fun for the low
ers Of the ludicrous as his namesake the
comedian of the last century did, declared IN
Il speech in the Senate last Monday. that il
there was nothing done during the week to
save the Union. its salvation would be an
mpossitility. He SAID he knew that in less
than week all compromise would be imprac-
tcablc. or course as the radiant little Sen
ator gave forth his lugubrious vaccinations
with all the soiemnily and wisdom of a mop
ing owl in the last stages Of reFfeIion, all the
Senators stood aghast. The Union was to
go by the board in a week. The notice was
very short. but it did not please Foote TO give
the world longer time for preparation.
We are very glad to announce however
that the allotted period has gone by, and.
though there are 10 glad things OF good
honest compromise, there are no symptoms
OF breaking up of the confederacy.
Really it is too had in f. ote 10 frighte

women in Washington took to their beds, de-
termined to hold on 10 them for salvation as
-" long as life asted.'

senses on Sunday morning and saw the sun
shining and heard no unusual uproar, they
looked as if they were just convaescing from

renee of all such vilainous efforts 10 tamper

called the meeting to order; the Secretary

pro tenn. There being no regular speaker for
this occasion. Mr.. Rchd. Parrett was called
for. who took the floor and addressed the
m+eting, presenting in very able manner
the claims Of The Temperance Reformation to
the respectful consideration of the communi-
ty Rev Mr. Steadman next took the hJor
and spoke briefly on the subject of Temper
ance and morality Rev. Mr.. McCarier was
then called for, who entertained the meeting
Tor half an hour in his own peculiar and inter
csing style Mr.. Foster also addressed the
meeting in a few pertinent remarks. c. Bl-
ker, Esq, was then called for, who rose and
said, that the opponents Of intemperance and
the liquor traffic had a powerful enemy to
cortend against, that the legislative and judi
ciaI branches OF the Government were on the
side of the liquor seller, and the influence OF
( The public press was also (with few excep-
!
understood that the doctrine had recently been
promulgated. that the conductor of public
journal ought not to be expected TO put forth
his own sentiments on moral questions, be-
cause it might affect his pec'lniary interests.
That although he had been told that this doc
/ trine had been applauded by some. he would
take that opportunity of entering his protest
against it and of expressing it as his jndg-
ment, that editors ought TO be governed by
the same code Of morals that governs theft
neighbo"s, and that no editor who was the
! friend of temperance had the right to use his
columns for the purpose of heralding the ar
rival and opening ofnew liquor selling estab
/ lshnents, when the fact was notorious thai
the retail traffic in ardent spirits if carried or
at all in this city, must be carried on contrary
law. That no friend of temperance coult
justify publication. informing his neighbors
where they could get drunk although the es
adjustment might nave two entrances, one
for tiplcrs and loalers, and the other for sobel
men. That he should not be deferred from
expressing these opinions by the fact the
press that he assisted to support, pursued the
course which these sentiments condemned.
The interest Of the meeting was farther
heightened by the presence OF the Evans
vile Brass Band, No. L." On motion, Re
solved, That when this meeting adjourn, it dc
