Fruits of the Tree planted by
John G. Calhoun.

1t has been too much the wont OF the Northern
press to merge all the moral and political obllq-
ultes of Calhoun, in the admiration entertained
for his powers Of intellect. Even those con-
demning his pernicious doctrines, in the abstracts
seem TO have scrupuously abstained from rae
ing them to the source from which, it was well
known, they proceeded For ourselves, we have
never been beset by any such tender scruples
in speaking about this bad man, whether living
Or dead for we have long looked upon him
as the most outrageous mschei-maker who ever
figured in the political affairs Of this country
It was he who, contrary to the avowed opinion,
and earnest admonitions of the Father of his
country, Of Jefferson, Madison, and host of the
great and good to whom we are indebted for our
liberties, first had the face to pronounce slavery
a blessing, and recommend measures for its per-
uetuation. 1t was he who first openly advocated
the ACQUISITION of territory for the purpose of
strengthening and extending an institution
which he knew to be founded in wrong and
fraught with many dangers to the country, and
it was he who taught the South the treason OF
qualification. and the cunning Of bringing out
the bugbear Of disunion to brighten the north
into submission to his political heresies,and bring
them down PROSTATE at the foot of the slave pow
er. And the evils he has wrought are only just
beginning to be developed. The seed he has
sown is now springng up in crops more or less
vigorous through the entire South, porentous of
unnumbered woes to that infatuated people,
And his own State, if her people are not provi-
dentially arrested in their career of suicidal mad
ness, will be the first to become victim to his
damning doctrines.
Should the name of such man, then, be held
up for admiration among those of other departed
and honored statesmen of the land No! let it
be branded, rather, and pass away unhonored
with those of the less evil.working and traitor
GUS Aaron Burr and Benedict Arnold.

A Commentary ON the Political
Dangers of Slavery.

What mere forcble commentary on the dan
gers of slavery to the common rights and lber-
ties of this country, could possibly be presented
to an unbiased observer of human affairs, than
the acts and published opinions of many of our
greatest Statesmen, who, the past year, have
been drawn into the support of measures put in
progress for the support of the slave power p
These Statesmen have done that, said that, and
seriously contended for that, in speeches and
written arguments, which, if the same principle
were applied to anything else, would brand them
as federalists, monarchists and enemies TO a
republican form of government. And yet they
are permitted to preach these doctrines, and set
these precedents, unrebuked by majority of the
American presses, ever vigiant and trumpet
tongued to see and proclaim the least infringe.
ment of the established principles of liberty on
any other subjects.
If slavery, then, is to exercise this perverting
and dangerous influence upon men who have
proved themselves sound and discriminating pol
iticians and statesmen in other matters, is it not
time for the American people to arouse them
selves to the main queston-that of proceeding
in earnest to the total humiliation of that inst-
tuition? The South have asked and obtained of
Congress, national Legislation for the protection
of slavery; shall they now be permitted to
turn round and refuse the introduction of equal
ly direct measures for its abolition? For one,
we are not sorry they have made it national is
sue, for in that sign the friends of freedom will
the sooner arouse themselves among all parties,
and the sooner conquer

South Carolina.


The secession convention has resolved to Sc
cede, but has left it to the legislature to do the
deed. In other words, 1t has resulted in talk
1t has not resulted in showing how secession
will make slavery any more secure. 1t has not
resulted, moi is it likely to result in frightening
the North very senslbly. That game is a good
one but has natural limit. The greatest cow
ards come at last to look upon harmless bug
bear with equanimity and contempt. The frothy
hotspurs of the slave power fail to satisfy even
themselves with the future which their laborlng
lmaginations are able to open up to their South
ern Confederacy, even granting that to be safe
ly achieved.
Hon. d. Wallace, a South Carolina member
of Congress, of more than ordinary ability, has
disc used the whole subject in long letter
which we find in the Southern Press He dwes
on the wrongs of the South in not being allow
ed to govern the republic and extend her charm
ing institution over the whole OF it, demonstrates
the inevitable tendency of freedom to root out
slavery, and with sullen despair prescribes to
the poor sick South the following remedy -
ga Southern confederacy, to be formed of the
States most deeply concerned, is certainly the
highest aim, the most effectual remedy. A con.
tederacy thus formed, would be the arbiter, I'M
der heaven, of its own political and social des-
tiny, uncontrolled by foreign legislators Look
ing into the dim vista of future times, can
comprehend the possibility of opening the way
by treaty stipulations with the nations South Of
US, for the emigration of the surplus portion Of
the African race to the plains of Central Amer
lea, and to the shore of the Pacific and events
are possible which may give to South California

The Fugitive Slave Law.

This question is no longer one of minor i'm
portance but is earnestly engaging the attention
OF the whole community, as one in which the
dearest and most cherished principles of human.
ity are deeply involved. 1t likewise gives us
unfeigned pleasure to know that, not only our
immediate patrons, but a very large proportion
of the Democratic party heartily approve of the
course which we have pursued in relation to
this matter. This we are assured of, not only
by the large and increasing additions to our sub
scripton list, but also from the numerous letters
we have received, and the personal interviews
we have had with some of the most prominent
and influential democrats IN the county.
From the manifestations which have been
made upon this question, we feel assured that a
strong effort will be made at the next session of
Congress, to obtain the repeal of this unjust, OBJ
noxious and unconstitutional law; and it is a
matter of graduation, that we can confidently
count on the hearty cooperation of our highly
honorable and talented Representative from this
District Hon. E. X. Smart We would there
fore, urge upon our democratic friends to bear
this in mind and see that petitions are circula-
ted early this fall so that they may be sent in
early in the session.-Democraiic Clarion.

The Rotation of the Earth made

tory, addresses the following to the Boston TraU-
eler =
have succeeded satisfactorily in repeatpe
Faucaulfs experiment respecting the Rotation
OF the Earth. The new Tower Of the Western
wing OF the Observatory, found to be perfect
~ adapted to the purpose. My arrangements
are IN this way Across the top of the central
pier, which is hollow cone, thirty feet bph.
there is firmly fixed wooden beam having he
centre perforated to admit the passage of a wire
and the fixing of a Torsion Circle, such as is
used with the Gauss Magnetometers. To the
centre OF this circle is attached one end of sill
yer wire, thirty feet long, of the size commonly
known as " fine No. g." and to the other end Of
this wire is fastened a metallic cylinder weigh
ing about four pounds, and terminating below in
conceal point on platform directly below the
weight and about thirty feet below The point of
suspension, is inscribed circle six feet in diam.
eter, with the requisite subdivisions and 1adii.-
AFTER giving the pendulum. an unbiased arc of
vibration, few minutes observation will suffice
to show with certainty the motion of the Earth
on Its axis, as the terminating point of the
weight viii! be seen at each successive vibration
to arrive at the northern boundary Of the circle
little more easterly than it did at the preced-
ing one.
Another correspondent says that this beautiful
experiment is so simple that it may readily be
repeated IN most OF our dwellings.
