"Wil the Washington Telegraph
notice that every Wing paper in the
State is opposed to the views Of R. w.
johnson, OIL the Southern question. while
every true Democratic paper advocates
the sentiments he has set forth. ."-Ba1aner.
Certainly, we will with pleasure ac-
knowledge that every Wing paper in the
State is opposed to the views advocated
by MIR. johnson on the Southern question.
The "Banner" says "Mr. Johnson's doc
trines are democratic and the democratic
press endorse them" With one excep-
ton, we believe this is also true. We
envy them not the honor attached to the
advocacy of MIR. Johnson's views, but at
the same time we cannot but doubt the
correctness Of the Banners deductions,
as we notice that one of the most inhuen-
tial democratic papers in the State; one
whose dctum is not to betreated lightly,
is opposed TO the doctrine advanced in
MIR. Johnson's address, as we doubt not,
are large majority of the people of this
State: Democrats and Wings.

The FAMILY OF Mr. CALHoUN-The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Globe has the following interesting
reference to the lamented Calhoun:
Mr.. Calhoun has left wife, now in
Charleston and family of four sons and
two daughters to mourn his loss. His
eldest son, Andrew, is wealthy planter
in Ala ALBANIA; Patrick, the second son, is
in the army, and was an aid of General
Gaines; John, who was named after him,
and who was with him when he died, is
physicians; the youngest son, William,
is now pursuing all undergraduate course
of study at college. One of his daugh-
tiers, Ann Maria, is the wife of MIR. Glenn
sen, our Charge dAflairs at Belgium, and
the other has always remained at home
having long been afflicted with spinal
affection. The family of MIR. Calhoun
are left in affluent circumstances, his
property being estimated at 100000. He
married early in life, his now bereaved
partner, a lady of fortune, cousin-bear-
ing the same name which he has rendered
ilustriOus.

THE NoNTEsQUl,Ns-Jury discharged.
At nine O'Clock, yesterday morning, the
jury were brough iuto the court room.
The foreman represented to the court that
they still could not tagree upon verdict,
and their opinions were so fixed that they
thought there was no prospect of their
uniting to form decision. They were
then discharged by the court. With re-
gard to the guilt of Gulzalve, seven stood
for acquital, and five for conviction. In
Raymoud's case, when it was first sub
mitted, nine were for acquital, but subse-
quently, one of the nine became convinc-
ed of his guilt, so that, when discharged,
they stood eight to four.
-Four weeks have beer thus consumed
in the trial of cause which has created
all excitement probably never before wit
messed in this community and without
any satisfactory results to either the pos
eculion or the defence. We learn that
the case will not, probably, be taken up
till the May term.

* the correspondent of the Baltimore
San writing from Washington under date
ef the a9th ult., says:
The Compromise Committee, appoint
ed to-day by ballot, is filling the lovers
of peace, harmony and fraternal feeling
with hopes of speedy settlement OF the
questions which now perplex and harrass
legislation and disturb the qaiet of the
country. That Henry Clay should be
the chairman was not only indicated by
the voice Of the Senate, but the voice OF
the country To his experience, his
wisdom, his courage, and to his exalted
patriotism, that honor was Justly due.
The rest of the committee is divided into
three Northern Wings and three North
ern Democrats, ard three Southern Wings
aud three Southern Democrats. The
selection is admirable, and will at once
fill the country with confidence.

ABOVE PARTY.-In addition to the cir

ABOVE PARrY-In addition to the cir
camstances which we mentioned the other
day, to show that party has been the
chief cause Of the agitation in the South,
with the Locofocos, others may be adduc-
ed, The support of Van Bnren-the
support Of the Atherton resoidtions-the
support of Folks signature to the Oregon
biIl-are not the only proofs. The course
Of that party with respect to the twenty
first rule is in strong confirmation of what
we assert. That rale was proclaimed
/ by all the leading southern Democrats to
be essential to southern safety, and several
of them affirmed that if it were repealed
the Union would be dissolved. This was
during the Congress of 1S41-'42, when
the Wings had the majority. The rule
was not repealed then. But the first
thing done by the next Congress, when
the Democrats had sixty majority, was
the repeal OF this rule! We eheard nothing
about dissolution of the Union then!
Oh! no-the Democrats had established
the rule, and it was wisely done!
Again, with respect to fugitive slaves:
In 1888, Mr.. Calhoun, Wing member
from Kentucky, proposed new bill on
the subject. 1t was voted down by a
Democratic House; and we never heard
word on the subject from the seLf-con-
Statuted guardians of the South until Gen.
Taylor was elected Then all of sud-
den they became prodigiously alarmed
The subject had been before the Legis-
lature of Virginia in 1912, and Gen.
Bayly-tha: mighty hero-reported that
the law of '93 was as nearly perfect as
it could be, and that no farther legisla-
ton by Congress was necessary! But
this worthy and all his associates saw new
lights, just as soon as southern Wing
President was elected! Then, nothing
could save the South but the instant en-
actment of more rigorous laws for the
recapture of fugitive slaves. 1t is very
true, that under the Constitution we are
eutitled to the whole power of the Fede-
raj Government to protect our rights in
this particular. But these gentlemen
could not, or would not, see any necessity
for new provisions, until Old Zack was
elected! Then they raved! Was it fac.
ton or patriotism that Influenced their
cond 3 Ricltnao7ad Wing.
