photographic SUM ma airy.

Our teIegrapnic intelligence, to-day, will be
found very interesting. 1t will be seen, from
perusal Of il, that Mr. Calhoun, OF South Carolina,
U.s. We regret to say, nearly at the point Of death.
We sincerely hope that he may survive his present
attack, and again fill his place in the councils Of
the nation. We cannot, however, hold oat much
hope to our readers In the matter. We fear, very
much fear, that the spirit Of the great John G.
Calhoun is about TO take Its departure from the
sckly and contaminated atmosphere Of Washing
ton, and ~ better, holier, and more appro-
pirate sphere few days, perhaps few hours,
will decide the matter.
The Senate. at Washington, were yesterday en-
gagged principally in the discussion of Mr.. Clay's
compromise resolutions. Mr.. Badgers speech,
or at least sketch Of 1t, will be found with the
rest Of the congressional proceedings on the first
page, and we commend it to the attention of our
readers. Mr.. Badgers views may, or may not,
be successful, bat it is very certain that some
compromise OF the nature indicated by him must
be adopted. or the integrity of the Union will be
endangered. But that Union must not, and
shall not, and will not, be dissolved. There

comfort of Ethiopian babies just born, by giving

name and as philanthropic, in every view, as we of
the North are. Nay, more than that, for if what
individuals term u general average" were struck,
the balance, In our opinion, would be in favor of
the South, as far real humanity is concerned,
irrespective Of the isms advocated by some of our
socialist neighbors.
MIR. Hale, of New Hampshire, has had his say in
the Senate, on the same subject. He is second

York, without the superficial gliding with which
the latter gentleman has clothed himself Mr.
Hale, at ia o,nne gcnps, must run their rig--It ia
their destiny, and the longer their tether Is, the
better. Give them rope enough, according 10
the old saw, and they will hang themselves
While, however, they are engaged in that agree
able occupation, think the country is safe.
Az for Mr. Badgers speech, 1t is entitled to every
consideration. for II is PLAN, honorable, and con-
oillatoy throughout.
The trial Of Or. Webster for the murder of Dr.
Parkmsn, as far ss il has proceeded, will be found
in another column. We give 1t as fully as posi-
bic by telegraph, knowing that that celebrated
case creates almost az much excitement in New
York as il does in Boston.

TBE CABINET AND rBs SLAVERY QUESTION One
OF the principal causes Of the present excitement at
Washington, and throughout the South. the end
Of which we do not yet see. may be referred IN a
great degree to the policy. or rather non.pocy,
which the present imbecile cabinet advised Gen
ersl Taylor 10 adopt a, the commencement OF the
present session, and also, sending his California
message to Congress. That message simply re-
commended the admission Of California, without
expressing a single view towards a settlement or
compromise Of the various other questions con-
neotsd with the acquisition of the new territories.
There was the beginning Of the difficulty. The
Southern members in Congress saw at once that
such policy would furnish ground for such abo-
mionisis AZ Seward, Hale and Chase, as chose. to
put icrwsrd fresh agitation in favor Of their par
ticnar views The Southern members. therefore,
were determined that general COMPROMISE Of the
slavery question should he settled or arranged, be-
tore any other act in legislation shall be permitted
70 pass. This policy has been rig,dly adhered 10.
and we may yet expect more trouble and excite
ment in Congress, from the want of capacity aod
courage in the cabinet to grapp'e with the ques,iop
The end Is not yet.
