count OF certain movements among the Ger
mans in relation to Nebraska Unfortunately,
we overlooked entirely portion Of it, reflect
ing severely upon DR.. Hebbe, citizen Of this

to the Doctor did him great injustice, and we
certainly rcgrSs shat, through insdvertence, il

DR.. Hebbc is natural;zed citizen, and his
sympathics, strongly enlisted in behalf Of DEM
ocratic movements in Europe have made him
a supporter Of what is called the Democracy
Of this country, on the superstition that its
triumph here must always tond TO promote the
cause Of Revolution abroad.
The time will come when our naturalized
citizens will see that the Democracy which
has welded itself to Slavery and Native Amer
icanism, can have no real attoity with the Do.
mocracy that is struggling against Despotism.

THE LAST MOMENTS OF MR. CALHOUN

A correspondent Of the New York Herald,
furnishing "reminiscences Of John c. Calhoun,
has good many strange stories to tell, but
among them all there is none stranger than
the following, which is mentioned with view
to show how sublime was the dying mans do
votion to Southern interests:
"This was but one day before he died Even
then be conversed upon this subject when he
would not converse with any one upon what
the Christian world would have regarded as
greater subject to a dying man. His country,
the South, and is future, were all to him. He
did not care about his own future IL was
small matter in his eyes as the following little
incident will show: For two days before he
died, and when it was generally known in
the city that he could not live, many visiters
called at the house. His physician, DR.. Hall
insisted, for his own comfort, that he should
zee rs few rs possible Mr.. Calhoun acqu-
esced, and added, Mr.. Scoville knows who |
will soc, and who not l. Of course, went to
the front door whencver the servants an
nounced q visiter to him, and answered the re-
quests Of those who wished to see him. On
one occasion, (the day before he died. found
the vistcr to be the Rev Mr.. Butler. ! told
him Mr., Calhoun was very ILL too i'll to see
any one
That il the very reason why he should
see me. Will you have the goodness to an
nounce me, and tell him that do wish 10 con-

IDYAs ABOUT PROPERTY.

The Richmond VA Enquirer denounoes the
recommendation Of the Governor Of alabama,
to prevent tho separation Of families:
" This recommendation strikes us as being
most unwise and impolitic. II slaves are prop
crty then should they be at the absolute dispo-
sal Of the master, or be subject only to such
legal provisions az are designed for the protec
ton Of life and limb If the relation Of mas.
ter and slave be infringed for one purpose, it
would DO difficult to fix any limit to the en-
croachment. If the stakeholder yield one point
to the demands of Abolition fanaticism, he will
but embolden th6spirit which he aims to con-
ciliate, and will be driven to some more sub
stantial concession"
The Enquirer is not logical in qualifying the
inference from its assumption, that the slaves
are property. If slaves arc property" then
should they be left to the absolute disposal Of
their masters. Law might interpaso to pre-
vent unnecessary cruelty, as it does in the case
Of dumb beasts; but a man may shoot his
horse dead if he will and why not his slave :
You hang man for the murder Of his slave
why not hang him for killing his horse, if both
are equally property"
If slaves are property" the legislation OF
the slave States recognising them and protect
ing them as human beings, is an absurdity, and
wanton interference with the rights Of the
masters. If il be not this, but reasonable and
right, then the slaves are not property but per-
sons.
off the relation Of master and slave be in.
fringed for one purpose" says the Enquirer,
"it would be difficult to fix any limit to the en-
croachmentn Well-the relation has been in
fringed for the purpose Of protecting life and
limb, as the Enquirer admits Is there any
reason why it should not be infringed for the
purpose Of protecting the relation Of man and
wife among slaves This is just as sacred as
the connection between the hand and the arm
The former, like the latter, is coeval with
mans being; and the voice of Revelation
speaking Of it, says, "What God has joined to-
gether, let not man put asunder." And yet, your
Law, Mr.. Enquirer, while it Furnishes the mas
ter who should separate the hand from the arm
Of his slave, authorizes him to separate the
slave from his wile-it forbids the mutilation
Of the body, but allows the liberation of the
soul, and tho disruption Of the Family

How and why these persons should feel any

problem Of tho age But why they should oh

the lands in the Virginia Military District but
the committee being reluctant it was not re-

third time introduced the bill, and obtained
from the committee favorable report, and

The value of lands thus added is not less

At the last session, he offered an amendment
to the army appropriation bill, afterward In
corp0rated into IL, which initiated the Paclfic
Railroad, providing for the appropriation OF
$l5O,O00 for the employment OF Typographical
engineers, in connection with engineers en-
pl0yed by private individuals and companies,
to ascertain by explorations and surveys the
most economical and practicable route for
such railroad from the Mississippi to the Pa
ciic. His perseverance and success in this
measure induced the citizens Of st. Louis, not
withstanding his party relations, to invite him
TO address them on that question during his
visit to that city last summer. The present
session he introduced and secured the passage
through the Senate Of o bill dividing Ohio into
two judicial districts 80 that the people resi-
dent on the river and the lakes may avail
themselves of admiralty jurisdiction, without
journey to the centre part Of the State. He

purchase Of Powers's Statue Of America, rs an
ornament to our National Capitol Whenever
practical questions, as those Of free homesteads,
telegraphs, and the regulation Of steamboat
navigation, have arisen, he has always had
suggestions to make, indicating practical wis
