Mr.. CALHoUN's LAST MoMENTs.-It was stated by
correspondent of the N. Y. Globe, that, only few
hours before he breathed his last Georgia news
papers read TO him. ''Read more slowly" said
he to the friend who reading. His frame was
greatly emacated and his bodily strength gone, but
nothing striking The entire preservation and
activity of his mind even when lfe's last oil bad
nearly fled. No>clergyman attended him. and with
that aversion profession which marked his
sation, he did not seek talk upon the subject Of
religion in connection with himself. But his calm
and resignation in prospect of the great change
that awaits US ALL were wonderful. His comparison
of to the vegetable kingdom, presenting. under
an immuable law, successive stages of termination,
growth, and decay, evinced the philosophy with which
he regarded it.
Many of the early and tried friends Of his youth
and manhood had passed away. Southey, looking
back upon life from his own old age, truly remarked,
that gradually prepared for our departure by
seeing the objects OF our earliest and deepest afec-
tions go before Even If keener affections
disposed to from this world. and remove our
tenderest and dearest hopes to another, mere age
brings iih it WEAKNESS of life. and death becomes

There will be found in smother column of the DEM
ocrat Of this morning. colloqunl difficulty which
recently occurred in the Senate of the U. States be-

in plain terms our disapprobation Of such conduct.
For Gen. Foote we have entertained high
opinion, but are apologst for him in this In

YALEDICTORY.

The present number of the State Sentinel,
completes the IXth volume of the weekly,
and the With volume of the semi-weekly edi-
tion,-and, in accordance with notice al
ready given, with the close of these volumes,
will terminate the service of the subscribers,
as editors and publishers.
We have already said, that we cannot
part with our readers, many of whom have
stood by from the beginning; without
strong feelings of regret. We trust this ex-
preston may be properly appreciated. Long
association, in almost any relation of life,
naturally engenders and promotes feelings
of sympathy, even among those originally
personally differing with each other. How
much stronger that sympathy, among those
whose sentiments are controlled by the same
impulses, and whose efforts have been d.
rected to the accomplishment of the same
ends! The latter feeling naturally predomi-
mates in our minds, in regard to the MAORI
ty of our present readers; and it would be
the more painful, did we not hope that our
retirement would rebound to their benefit,
as well as to that of the Democratic party
In general.
But while we are touched by such regrets,
they are partially neutralzed, not only by
the hope that others may perform more &C
ceptable and efficient service, but also by the
full persuasion, in our minds, that from the
beginning of our career as Editors, to the
end, our ruling desire has been TO serve the
people conscientiously and faithfully. We
may have erred in the execution of this set
tied purpose. We may be in error now.
Time and Events will test this truly. The
results to be developed by those tests, will be
as certain as any problem in mathematics.
They are far superior to the hasty conclu-
sions of prejudice, or TO the equally unfair
condemnation of class interests and personal
ambition.
We commenced the State Sentinel under
apparently, the most adverse circumstances
Our elder readers know what they were in
their political aspects: the younger ones
may be told, but can hardly realize them in
full force. At that time, the reputation o.
the State, financially, and that Of the Demo.
cratic party, physically, was at the Lowest
ebb. Our leaders generally were in despair
and remedy was only to be found in the
most persevering effort, and in the most i'm
pIicit faith, that labor could conquer al
things" We entered the field with the de
termination, as well as in the desperation o
despair. A new zeal infused itself into The
Democratic crank and file." The column
pushed onward with the indomitable energ,
of a forIorn hope. Victory crowned GU
banners: the State was politically and inan
cially redeemed and Ne now feel, rs every
