RHODE ISLAND =. 8. SEHa7oa There
appears to be Some difficulty in "delln-
ing the position" Of Gen, James, the
newly elected Z. $. Senator from Rhode
Island. He is admitted to be a strong
Union and tariff man, and has been
confidently claimed by some Of the L..
cofoco papers as belonging to that par
ty. One of the Wing members Of the
Legislature, who voted for him, claims
him as Wing, and makes the follow
ing statement:
Gen. James, our new Senator, is
Wing. lie voted for Gen. Harrison for
President in 1910; he voted for Mr..
Clay for President in lSii. In l849 at
the time Of The election Of the last Presi-
dent, he was absent from the State, up
on Lake Erie. Had he been here, We
are assured, he would have voted for
Gen. Taylor, for President. lie voted
for his present eXceliency, Henry 3.
Anthony, for Governor Of this State.
" nat better assurance can any man give
of Wing sentiments than these votes,
reaching hack for The last ten years!

lowing extract !:om the Address:
Young Men, to you our country looks for
dcliverance, and upon you the issue must final
ly turn. The course which our "brethren'
have determined to pursue, for the purpose of
our destruction, is gradual, and will not, per.
haps, come TO its perfection, and take their
abodcs in cold and silent tonibs of the dead
What then shall we do! Shall we remain 81.

closed our very doors upon US, and tauut US
with their naughty bravados No! Never !
We imagine we see your weapons snatchcd
from their long resting places, and your eyes
darting fire, at the very thonght Your faces
sulfused with shame, on account of the time of
redress SO long delayed. Now is the time to
retrieve your lost honor, and to secure your
rights, SO long refused to you, By an un:elvn-
ing foe! Now is the time to prove to the
North, that you are not SO far lost to every
sense Of honor, to every sense ofthc obligations
you owe to yourselves, your poStcrity, and to
the world at large, to accrde to any con-
ccssion, however dissracrlul, or any sacrifices,
however great, before you resist; or that you
will sink to any depth Of degradation, before
YOU will dissolve the Union. Dark clouds of
adversely may hover over us, and thick dark.
ness environ us, but fear not; Truth and Jus.
tice will ever prevail. The blood of our Re.
volutionary Sres, calls aloud TO us, from every
hillock, To renew our furnished honor. On
then Let your mottobe, equality IN tie Uuion
or liberty ont oft, and may God, the avcngcr
of all wrnESS, prosper US in our undertaking,
and at last crown our efforts with success"

When South Carolina is out Of the Union;-
without the pale of abolition influence, and un-
tramelled by the snares and dangers that Eo~
environ her, and that dread future that awaits her
in the Union, averted; the new life and energy that
will be infused into her citizens, will nerve them for
any and every thing that may be required Of them.
We ought TO remember, that men get accustom-
ed to bear evils; endurance destroys that proper
pride and seJcrespect, which lie at tl foundation
Of all that is good and noble in the human char
acter; it is with communities as with individuals,
when character is gone, everything is gone.

CHARACTER OF THE ENGLISH, IRISH AND
Scorcu-LooLing at the population of the
three kingdoms it may be easily perceived that
there is considerable difference amongst them
with respect to temperament. The Irish are
gay, ardent the Scotch are comparatively coo, 3,
steady and cautious; the English, are, perhaps,
q fair average. between the two. remember
it was not incleganty observed by friend OF
mine, that an r.nslishman thinks and speaks;
Scotchman thinks twice before he speaks;
and an Irishman speaks before he thinks. 4
lady present added, "a Scotchman thinks with
his head, an Irishman with his heart" This
ausion to impulse operating more rapidly than
dclbcration, is akin to Miss Edgcworta's S re-
mark, that an irishman may err with lis head,
never with his heart the truth, however, being,
that he "obcvs" his heart not always waiting
for the dictates of!:is head.
Some years ago there was carricature, vc.
ry graphically portrayiug these grades Of d:t
ference in the ardor OF the three nations. An
Englishman, all Irishman, and 4 Scotc!Iman,
were represented rs looking through a corfec-
toner's window at a beautiful young woman
serving in the shop "On" exclaimed Mr..
Patrick, "do let US DC after spending Il hai-a-
crown with the dear crayture, rhat we may
look at her conveniently, and have bit Of Il

Three Important Facis.--Ncver be influence
ed by external appearances in forming your
Judgment OF PERSONS worth. This is an m-
portant rule; for many noble spirit is covered
by habiments of poverty, while not unfrequent-
ly snowy exterior conceals villain Of the ba.
sest kind. Dean Swift said that nature has
given every man a capacity Of being agreea-
bic, though not of shining in company; and
"there arc hundred men sufficiently qualified
for both, who by very few faults, that they
may correct in half an hour, are not SO much
as tolerable." The world would be more hap
py if persons gave up more time to an inter
change Of friendship. But money engrosscs

cial hour, because we think it unjustly stolen

CALHOUN On SuBMIssIoH.--"Come what
will. should it cost every drop of blood and
every cent Of property, we must defend our
selves, and il compelled, we would stand Justl-
fed bv all laws human and divine"
olive do not defend ourselves, none will de.
lend US; we will be more and more pressed as
we recedc and if we submit we will be tram
pied under foot.
al say for one, | would rather meet any ex-
tremity OH earth than give up one inch OF our
equality-one inch Of what belongs to us, as
members of this great Republic"
"Wherever free people permit their fears to
control them in refushng to vindicate their
rights, they are ready to be slaves, and only
wait for despot who has more courage than
they have, to make them such.'
"There is one point on which there can be
no diversity of opinion in the Sonth among those
who are true to her, or who h I'VE made up their
minds not to be slaves: that is if we should be
forced to choose between resistance and sub
mission, we should take resistance at all haz
ards.
Mr.. Editor-The above quotations arc from
speeches and letters of J. &. Calhoun. No
pnrer patriot than him ever livcd-no name
shines brighter upon the roll OF fame thar that
of the ''illustrious CaroInan." Age after age
may pass away but rs long as frecman live his
name will be honorcd-his memory revered.
And especially should the sons Of the old Pal
metto State attend to the counscls and follow
the advice of him whose life WAS spent i'll the
defence of their rights and native land.
The Separate State Action party do but obey
the commands of Mr.. Calhoun in advising re-
sistance. Did he ever say, that because we
were not as powerful as our enemies, we must
endure oppression or orinjusticc! No. Read the
above third and fifth quotations, and especially
the fourth, and sec what his injunctions were.
If, then, we heed his advice, we will "rcsist at
all hazards" HAYNE.

ARKANsAs--At a meeting Of the Democrats
of Arkansas county, Ark, April %, 1851, the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolrcd, As all expcdicnt measure, we be-
licyc it to be right for the Southern States to
secede--peacibly if possible-forcibly fneces-
sary, and to form Southern Confederacy :" to
institute new Government, laying Its founda-
tons on such principles, and organizing its pow
ers in such a form as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their safety and happiness" and
to that end we recommend that the Convention
take into consideration the means we should
use to protect our honor and property.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

The whole burthen of the H'hig press OF this
State, seems to be how to abuse most eHectu-
ally our sister State. The noble stand taken
bv South Carolina, instead of being initiated is
decried: there is no friendly iemonstrance IN
the tone-no digniied appeal to generous feel
ing-no sympathy-but bitter, vEdctlve, un-
compromising hostility, that would come with
more grace from Federal Massachusetts, t'an
a twin.sister. The Democrats of our State,
are farmore generous, for though many Of them,
the larger portion we may say, do not believe
in the policy of "ScparMc State action, they co"-
tend for the right of secession, not knowing
how soon the Northern aggression may bring
about that cooperation OF the South which the
present or past seems not yet to have done.
The doctrine of nulfation so strongly con-
demned in '33 and 35, and which caused two
vessels of war to be placed in Charleston hirbor
to enforce the laws, assumes new feature
when put in practice in Massachusetts and YER
mont. to nullify 4 constitutional act OF Congress:
for the Fugitive Slave Law as passed, is mere
" section ofthe Constitution itself, served up
a la mode to humbug the unwary. Every thing
South Carolina does, or threatens to DO, invests
her Northern "sisters" with holy horror-baf
let the same steps be taken by northern tanat-
les, and all is rieai. In conversation with
friend recently from, the North, we learn that
he eattended divine service on the Sabbath, when,
to his surprise, the minister from his pulpit. So
licited contributions to feed the Numerous fugI-
tiyes in that town concealed. and to raise a
fund to assist all others, who like them have
fled from bondage.
We hear nothing of these things i'll those
presses who pride in abusing South Carolina
who seem to forget that she is not even con.
tending for a share of the soil her vaor helped
materially to win-butan inherent right, guar
anteed right-a right she never surrendered,
nor never will--the right to regulate her own
internal affairs, and protect her. institutions
from being corrupted by either foreign or
domestic foe.
If we cannot agree with South Carolina in
principle, we have no right to condemn her
as she came into the Union voluntarily, she can
90 out ,so-but then will be no time for recrlm-
ination, It will be one when better feelings
should be arouscd-and If we are not ms
taken one would be, that ight unite the whole
South in common cause.
But South Carolina will not secede we trust;
honest counsels may yet prevail in our nation
al assembly, and a genuine compromise be ef'
fected that will heal all dissensions. But the
rights ofthe States must still be guaranteed. Ii
