GEN. HAMNIOND,S GRAFTON.

WE are indebted to the kindness Of 4 par
ticular friend, for copy of Gen. HAMNoSD's
"Oration on the Life, Character and Services
Of JOHN CALDWELL CALHOUN"
We have just finished an attentive study Of
this production, and, speaking of it as 4 whole,
we have never arisen from the enjoyment of Il
richer intellectual feast, or one served up in
more beautiful style. 1t is a literary and his
toric gem, worthy of being set in the most
costly and durable casing. The author, while
rendering this noble tribute to the uncquallcd
genius and virtue of CALHOUN, has bestowed
upon his fcllow-ci,izens priceless treasure,
and has obtained, for himself, the first rank
among orators and eulogists
We leave to some less enrapturcd admrer
Of his subject, the critical exposition of the
writer's defects, if any real ones there be;
and would only advise every Southerner, who
desires to learn "mult,tm in parro" Of the
great Apostle of Southern Rights, to procure
4 copy Of this skilfully arranged and tho
roughly digestcd Grafton.

apart. Cut the potatoes, place them in the
drill 10 inches Or foot distant, and then cov-
cr by merely levclling the surface. Immcdi-
atcly after, while your ground is loose and
before rain falls upon it, cover the whole
will, pine-straw from 10 to ls inches deep
And await your crop
Long-leaf pine-straw is the best rs it will
not so readily pack or rot as any other cover
ing. 1t should be covered deep, 10 keep the
earth moist and cool during the heat Of sum-
mer. The proper time for planting is Janua-
ry; although February will doycry we'll.
By strictly attending 20 these directions
you will produce as fine potatoes as can be
had in any market.
Yellow potatoes are the best for our eli
mate.
The crop will be found upon the surface of
the ground.

NUMBER OSE,

Fellow CITIZENS You will pardon q
man, who was born in your district, whose
ancestors, 70. generations past, rcposc in the
bosom of your soil, and who for a large por.
tion Of his life, has resided in your midst,
your neighbor and friend, for addressing you
on the subject of the difficulties with which
you are environcd, and on your means of es-
cape from your truly perilous situation.
In the first place, it is probably due to your
able Senator, and to the intelligent gentle
men who represent you in the House, that /,
who was constant witness Of their proceed
ings, should take this occasion to give You 4
fuller account of their stewardship, than
could be derived from the papers, or than
could have been rendered you, without SEEM
ing vanity, even in the card those gentlemen
thought proper to publish, as well for your
information, as for the vindication OF their
conduct

our POSITION, As UNDERSTOOD ABROAD.

A long and elaborated article appears in Il
late number of the Southern Press, the OBJ
jcct of which is to urge upon the Southern
States, the necessity of insisting upon their
constitutional right of resorling to inc cleo
ton of President in the next Congress. by
States TO the end that they may retain as
nearly as possible, their equality of power in
the Executive department Of Government.
A National Convention is rcpudiatcd on
the ground that it will be entirely subscryielit
to the advancement of Northern power.
In running over the list of States (South)
that will, in all probability, unite upon this
system, the writer notices South Carolina
last, and speaks of her as State, that will,
by that time, be lost 10 the Confederation.
His language is as follows -
We have not mentioned South Carolina
because there can How be little doubt she
will sccede from the Union alone if not joined
by other States-by Mississippi particularly,
for the decision of whose Convention it is TO
be hoped South Carolina will wait.
The probability of this event gives at once
great practical Importance to another princi-
plc-thc right of secession. When South
Carolina secedes it will have at once to be
decided whether she rctires in peace or whcth-
er the country is to be rent by civil war, and
stained by fratcrnal blood. 1t will be the
peculiar duty and interest of the other South
ern States to preserve the peace; and nothing
will enable them to do that more effectually
than to have their utmost power and share in
the next Presidential election. We believe
that the Southern States will be unanimous
in favor of the right of secession or at least
of the policy Of peaceful secession. In Ken
tucky to which Mr.. Clay's incorporate and
infatuated language last session has impaired
4 ferocious aspect, we are happy to see that
The leading papers Of both parties. the LOU
isville Journal and the Louisville Democrat
agree now, the one in favor of the right, the
other Of the policy Of peaceful secession.
1t will be seen from this, that our State is
generally understood to be, as she really is,
Enthusiastically pledged to separate secession,
and We rejoice in the belief that there is not
one man in Il thousand, throughout our bor-
ders, who is ready to desert her in this, her
hour of need.

"not that we loved Pickens less, but that we

in the mountain country proper, although
there may be less of The tcrer and the ague

more of the real "tallop. faced" specimens of

too frequent use of the clay-root, or to the
imbrowning influence of their primcval pur-
suits, we will not pretend to say.
