Mn. CA1HouN's Re11e1ous Views. We have ofte

Ma. CALHoUN's RELIGIOUS Views. We have often
had strong desire, (says the Charleston Courier,)
and we trust, not improper improbable curiosi
ty, obtain insight into the religious opinions and
whose death our whole country mourns as nation
al afflicton. His intellectual strength, his wonder
full powers of reasoning and analysis. his almost in
tutve perception of recondite truth, his moral eleva
tion and purity Of character all combine to give an
interest in his thoughts and convictions, to the
things which belong not to time, but to eternity,
which attaches perhaps to those of other man of
his day and generation. We should like much to be
enlightened in this matter, by full information from
an authentic source; but, in the meantime, we lay
taken from an exchange paper that the great cham
pion of the South was also soldier of the Cross.
Religious viecs Of MI. Calhoun. From the re-
port, says the N. Y. Observer, which those about
him gave, of the last hours of this distinguished man.
it has been inferred by many, perhaps by most that
he affected to die rather as philosopher than as
Christian. A Southern gentleman, we regret that he
does not give his name, assures the editor of the
Puritan, that this impression is not justified by Mr..
Calhouns character. We certainly rejoice if this be
so, and we take pleasure in quoting the following,
from tie letter above mentioned, in respect to his
ligious convictions:
sIn the Spring of 1e4l, became acquainted with
clergyman, who had been the settled pastor former
Mr. Calhoun's parish for more than 90 years.
"He told me that Mr.. Calhoun, soon after his set
Element, requested the organization of Bible class,
of which he desired to become member. The class
was formed, and Mr.. Calhoun never failed being
present when at home and circumstances permitting.
He became, to use the words Of his pastor, 's the
most devoted member and the most thorough and
genuine advocate of the great fundamental doctrines
Of the Bble as understood by orthodox Christians,
he ever knew He believed fully in the doctrines
of Regeneration and Sanctfcation by the Holy
Spirit and so deeply was he impressed with the truth
of them, and Of his own lost condition, that very Of
ten he came to the prayer and inquiry meetings. and
with tears implored the Church for his conversion.
During the ministry of this clergyman the Church
enoved several revivals but in of them did Mr..
Calhoun find relief and yet he could not and would
not abandon his orthodox sentiments.
IS In conversation with another clergyman, about
two years ago, was informed that Mr.. Calhoun had,
few months BEFORE found the pearl of great price,
for which he had long and earnestly sought; that
his mind was calm and at ease, with his Redeemer.
THAT Mr.. Calhoun was an honest and most up
right man, of integrity and almost unexampled
purity of private fe-a and undertaking patriot,
devoedly attached his country and her best inter
ests and honor, no one can deny. That he was an
evangelical Christian. and died supported by the
Christians hope, and with Christian philosophy,
have no doubt"

FIRST Issue OF NEWSPAPERS. When the reign of
James the First was drawing to close; when Ben

Shakespeare were lamenting his recent death when
Cromwell was trading as brewer at Huntingdon; !;
when Milton was youth of sixteen, just trying his
pen at Latin verse, and Hampden quiet country
gentleman in Buckinghamshire London was fist
solicited to patronise its first newspaper. There is
now no reason to doubt that the puny ancestor of the
myriads of broad sheets of our time was published
in the metropolis in 1922, and that the most promo
nent of the ingenious spectators who offered the
velty to the world was one Nathaniel Butter. His
companions in the work appear to have been Nicholas
Bourne, Thomas Archer, Nathaniel Newberry, Vim.
Shefard, Bartholomew Downes, and Edward Aide.
All these different names appear in the imprins of the
early numbers of the first newspapers the Neu Me,os

23d of May. 1922, and has the names Of Bourne and
Archer on the title but proceed in the exami

most conspicuous of the set. He seems to have been

NASHVILLE CONVENTION,


This body adjourned on the 18th instant, to meet
The Convention prepared an Address to the peo-
pie of the South, and recommended the Missouri line
to the Pacific as the basis of settlement of the
Slavery question. The Committee reported unani-
monsy in favor of this line. The address is said to be
strong and able. The substance of it is thus summed
up by Correspondent of the Charleston Mercury
The events of the slavery agitation from 1884,
are summed up in brief but Ineligible terms, their
significance explained, and the interests and posi-
tions of the South she has been affected by them,
argued and defined. The North is held responsible
for all the fatal results and promises of this agitation,
and the South is rebuked for her unwise and spirit
less submission to protracted wrong. The Compro-
mise scheme is taken to pieces, and after thorough
examination of its parts, the whole is denounced as
fraud and scheme of poorly disguised encroach-
ment.
The Missouri Compromise Line of 36 deg. 80 min.
running to the Pacific, accompanied by distinct
cognon of it as the partition line between the North
and the South-al the territory lying South of it
be open to African slavery, including the Southern
part Of California. is recommended to the South for
acceptance, if the North chooses to propose it. But
it is recommended the last and utmost concession.
In the meantime the Convention declines, whilst
Congress has the matter under consideration,
mending any practical mode of redress. But the
Southern States are advised to send Delegates to
adjourned meeting of the Convention after the rising
Of Congress-om the States and Districts that have

The Delegates who spoke upon the subject in

ty extended to them. They were not " driven, - as
Mr.. Stanly desired they should be into the Cuber-
land River " but entertained and treated in the
most hospitable manner.

6fty miles in length, floating in the Atlantic, about
the parallel of latitude 46o. Several vessels We're
beset and it is strongly feared that the ice lies in
the direct track of vessels crossing tho Atlansic,
some serious disaster will be caused. This early

His everlasting preachments about the dignity of hu-
man nature have corrupted our literature as it has our
morals, and if fphanthrophy which received such an
impetus from him, continues to rage much longer in
this Commonwealth, it will be necessary for every
honest and peaceable man to emigrate from it. What
with our moral reform societies, our anti.hangmen
societies. prisoners friends societies. abolition socie-
ties societies, there will soon be no living
here for man who wishes to mind his own business,
