MISSOURI.

THE STORM IN NEW JERsEY.--The wind and
rain were exceedingly violent in lower Jersey. (and
presume throughout the Sta,e,) from =. VI. till
midnight of Saturday, and the rain did not cease fall
ling till or next morning. Monmouth Count, has
hardly had such a drenchng since the Flood. The
roads were all quilted and cut up at least three
forths of all the bridges were torn up; more than
half the great corn crop Of the County was partially
Or wholly FRUSTRATED; many potatoes were washed
ont of the ground; and an immense amount of fruit
beaten from the trees which seriously nur-
ed. Probably 100000 worth of damage was s,,s-
tanned in the mere washing away of fertile soil in that
County alone. The domain Of the North American
PhaIanx suffered severely in fruit trees bridges dams,
&c, Sc. Nearly half the fruit on the domain was
beaten off, but the corn did suffer much as else
where. We did not hear of any loss of life or ser-
Gus injury to buildings in that quarter, though the
roads were all rendered temporarily impossible.

DIsTRusT OF THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW IN
THE SouTH-One would have thought the his
tory of the operation of the fugitive slave law
in the series of compromise measures, as they
are csiled, would have sickened any true South
erner from any further laudation of the Infamous
barter, by which, as Daniel Webster truly said,
'he South gained all thai The North lost ohich was
nothing :" The fugitive slave law, all must nd
nit, drove a thousand fugitive slaves beyond the
reach either of the law or their owners, where
il has, thus far, not enabled them to capture a
single fugitive. Is it no wrong to the South
TO drive the great majority of their fugilives
into "a foreign country, where they can never be
reclaimed! Indeed, the danger and cost OF
getting them home, when they can be found
already prevents hundreds upon hundreds c.
owners from making any attempt at reclama-
! ton.
To show how little security is felt in the ope
ration and safe. guards Of this law, on Saturday
last, wealthy planter of this vicinity, the owner
of nearly hundred most obcdient and WELL
trained slaves, was reduced TO the necessity of
running all over Natchez TO hire free negro TO
attend him on his journey TO the Baltimore Ma
tional Democratic convention
The free negro which the gentleman finally
obtained was so much afraid of Northern Abo.
litionis 8, who frequently kidnap free negroes
on the preence that they are slaves pretending
to be free, he was at special pains to carry doc
umentary evidence of his freedom along with
him, as security against Northern fanaticism -

~ The Charleston Standard thus refers TO
the movement now making to erect a monu-
ment TO Mr.. CALHoUE
+" The CALHOUN MONUMENT A. ASSOCIATION -
We publish to day the proceedings of the citi
gems of st. Johns Colleton, who have formed
themselves into an association for the purpose
of erecting monument to Calhoun. This looks
like going 70 work in the right way. If the
movement be responded to as it should be,
throughout the State, there will be no longer
any necessity for beseigng the legislature term
after term, for the means necessary TO the end
so much desired. The amount which en- be
raised for this object by the association of in
dividuals, will be much larger than any the legis
lature could venture to appropriate to it, Thus
without taxing the liberality Of any one, monu
ment may be erected to Calhoun, in which the
multitude will have personal interest, and
which shall bear some just proportion to the
debt they owe to him."

CALHOUN AND WEBsTER-We find the fol
lowing tribute TO Caboun's genius in note t.
the leading article of the Democratic Reuie,
for May:
"The Difference paid TO Calhoun's probity
and intellect during his life time, by politicians
great and small, was perfectly wonderful
This country presents no parallel to it. Tn,
mighty Carolinian always addressed most at
tentive Senate, and the remctest hamlet felt tn,
force OF his prodigious genius. His opinions
on all the fundamental questions of the Consti
tuition challenge admiration and his school will
be az slow to pass away as the followers of tn,
ancient master of men in Athens, the son o
Sophroniscus. Since his death, in every section
Of the Union, and from all classes of statesmen
his praise has only been more and more emphatic
and universal Very often it is involuntary
and sometimes it is most startling of this kline
of eulogy the picture of Mr.. Healy, represent
ing the scene in the Senate, on Foote's resou
zion, when Mr.. Calhoun was presiding, and Mr.
Webster addressing him, is the most remarkable
The artist meant to immortaze Mr.. Webster
but he has given the aid Of his pencil to Web
ster's great antagonist. That fine painting i.
nothing but the record of Mr.. Calhoun's victor,
over the consolidationists Mr. Heay has ap
parently seized the precise instant of the Vice
Presidents interrogatory.
"The whole picture is full of Calhoun domi
mating Webster; the former reprimanding, thf
latter accepting lesson in logic and history. |
is AS if the Senate were "A school room, and thu
master was criticizing the defamation of one o.
the boys. The air is the came, the principa
figures the same and standing and sitting in thu
same relation. There is the memorable form
and countenance of the then Vice President
thrown forward in an attitude of evident supe
riorty towards the Senator from Massachusetts,
as if to tell him of a fault he was committing il
his exercise, and the latter positively recoils lik,

ute he deserved in all that unexampled debate
was the one afterwards paid him by Mr. Cal
houn, and which the assemble of the picture veri
lies as true at the moment chosen by Mr.. Heay
it was in these words: AT all events, Webste

NoTE.-On the 7lh, 9Th and 9th ballots there
was one vote from New York for Bates, of Mis-
souri,. One blank from Virginia, (occasioned
by district being entirely unrepresented,)
was continued until the 18th, when the blanks
from that State increased to two, by reason of
one of the delegates from one other district
Virginia sending three from each) having left
the city, when his two remaining colleagues
found themselves unable to agree. On the 18th
ballot there was one vote from New Hampshire
for Crittenden On the 33 ballot there was
one also for Crittenden. On the 34th ballot III.
inois threw votes and California vote 70
Crittenden, while Iowa threw one for Scott for
the first time; which occasiored applause all
round On the 35!h ballot the return Of Hi
nois, in an unbroken phalany, to Fillmore, was
greeted with some applause. On the 80 h bal
lot Crittenden got one vote. On the 37th bal.
lot Douglas, Of California, got one vote. On
the 4Oth ballot Choate, of Massachusetts, got
one vote.

those OF Others employed IN bis place, Congress
sustained, and allow him an additional compen-
satou for his future services. The principle is
the same, and why not the practicel Ii is either
right or wrong, just or unjust II right il is
equally applicable to all contracts. If wrong,
il should be applied to none. Heavens how
the treasury would bleed under this new system
of yenal action There is scarcely contractor
in the United States but would be loser by his
contract, and call on Hercules Congress for re-
lief. Galpbiuism would be nothing TO it.
The whole Of this system Of special legisla
ton in opposition, or at least in total disregard
to all general principles, is wrong in Itself and
mischievous in its consequences. The money
thus reeklessly applied to the relief of indlyd-
uas, does not belong to the government, but
the PEOPLE, and should be expended for the gen.
era benefit. The government has no right to
indulge its feelings, or soo.he its sympathies at
the expense of the people, or at the sacrifice of
great general principles, which if once departed
from, will lead to chaos of legislation, perpet
ualy inconsistent with itself; without any land
marks to direct its courses without rules, and
without lmita ion. 1t were much TO be wished,
that the advocates of this huge benefaction--
who, some of them, seem almost too Jealous to
be dsinterested would pause, and reflect a
little, before they gye--or throw away--a few
millions to carry on the war between the two
great belligerents, the Collins and Cunard lines.
If John Bull chooses TO enter extensively into
the business Of mail carrying, that is no reason
why Brother Jonathan should follow his exam
pie One has more money than wit the other
more wit than money. One is a jack of all
trades; let the other stick to his last, and mind
his own business, without asking what the other
is doing at home.

A YETERAN.-The Buffalo Advertiser saws that
there is at present residing in the town of Berthe.
IN Canada, few miles below Waterloo, man
named Silas Garter, who was formerly coach
man in the employ Of Gen. Washington. His
age is SO years, and he is in the perfect enjoyment
ofhis health and all his faculties He settled in
Canada in the year 1900, has been residing there
ever since, and occasionally visits this city He
was here few days since, selling load of oats.
and was to all appearance as hale and hearty as
the best of us. His mind is well stored with
anecdotes and "reminiscences, some Of which may
one day be laid before our readers.

One of the Kentucky delegates produced q
letter from Mr. Crittcnden, declining the nomi-
nation for the Vice Pres iency.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, declined after the
vote Of Maine was giveu him, expressing his
belief that he can give more service to the glo-
rious Wing party as private citizen than IN
the capacity of commi. Toned officer; that he
believed others here more competent and more
deserving the honor than himself, and hence
begged his friends to desist.
