Address of President Buchanan eminently con-

HUGH s. LEaARE--A NAMELEss GRAvE.--An Illus
trious South Carolinian sleeps among the splendid
tombs of Mount Auburn, near the city of Boston,
Mass, without the rudest stone to mark the place OF
sepulture. The statesman sickeued far away from
his SUMMER land; and the Northern strangers who
paid sycophantic homage to the living genius, treat
ed with unfeeling rreverence his puseess tenement
fresh gravewas dug Hugh s. Legare was inferred,
the funeral pageant retired, and mind which had
coruscated its light from the political centre Of the
Union, was but an ephemeral memory with those
who mourned and who buried!
The Editor of the Charleston Courier, it seems,
has, with generous regard for Legare's fame and
South Cardinals for her illustrious dead that
does honor to his head and heart made inquiries
concerning the resting place of the eminent deceas-
ed, whose life was brilliant exempli6caton Of the
thrcefod character of statesman patriot and scholar
1t was with difficulty that the grave was found;
and when discovered, there was nothing to indicate
the ilustroas sleeper beneath its turfl The Editor
of the Courier has opened subscription, at his Of
fee in Charleston, with view to erect a suitable
monument over the ashes of Legare.
While we admire the magnanimous spirit by
which our Charleston contemporary is actuated, we
confess that were the 'mortal remains of Missis-
sppian the instance of such callous Northern ne
glect, marble should build tomb pillar or ceno-
taph on frigid New England SOIL at our suggestion
or with our consent Mol our venerated dead should
not sleep in grave so uncongenial nor among living
ueditS 81 uuIIdIeTudl dS lIlOSe WHOSE SlOW puiSeS
mark the selfish evanescence of New England life.
We would advise dsinterment of the precious dust
of our lustrious, and magnificent mausoleum
where the magnolia blooms, and Southern dews,
laden with the fragrance of perennial flowers would
nightly weep the bereavement Of our land
Mississippian.
It is strange that the remains of Mr.. Legare we're
left to sleep thus unhonored by his own relatives
and countrymen, in cold New England soil. Is the
Yankee to blame altogether for this? There may
have been-there may be ''unfeeling irreverence"
after ALL Perhaps the Northern strangers" were
waiting for some one to claim the remains and take
them away. Mr.. Calhoun has been dead five or six
years, and yet plain slab only marks the place
where his remains repose. Subscriptions, we know,
are being obtained for monument to his memory;
but it seems to us that the monument should have
been commenced this. Let it be built by the
State of South Carolina. She owes to him more
than the value of thousands of the costest monu
ments. 'Let it rise till it meet the sun in his COM
ing let the earliest rays of morning gid it. and let
parting day linger and play upon its summit"

THE GIRL WITH THE CALICO DRESS.
By ROBERT JossELIN.
A fig for your upper-ten girls
With their velvets and satns and laces,
Their diamonds and rubles and pearls,
And their milliner figures and faces;
They may shine at party or ball,
Emblazoned with half they possess,
But give me in place of them all,
My girl with the calico dress.
She is plump as partridge, and fair
As the rose in its earliest bloom,
Her teeth will with ivory compare
And her breath with the clover perfume.
Her step is as free and as light
As the fawn's whom the hunters hard press,
And ner eye is as soft and as bright,
My girl with the calico dress.
Your handles and foplngs may sneer,
At her simple and modest attire,
But the charms she permits to appear,
Would set a whole iceburg on fire!
She can dance, but she never allows
The hugging. the squeeze and caress,
She is saving all these for her spouse,
My girl with the calico DRESS
She is cheerful warm. hearted and true,
And kind to her father and mother,
She studies how much she can do
For her sweet little sisters and brother
1fyou want a companion for life,
To comfort, enliven and bless,
She is just the right sort for wife,
My girl with the calico Dress

Such things are common in all large cities like
New York, London, and Paris; but they seldom if
ever happen to white or black in the slaveholding
States. We it officially stated, not long since,
that the paupers at Auburn, New York, were starv-
ing and covered with filth The negroes of the
South much better off than the very poor whites
of the free States. The hypocrites who agitate on
slavery, have any quantity of philanthropy and
charity on paper but they have practical benev-
olence. There is just God who will judge all.
The people who uphold such beast as Kaloch, are
capable of almost any thing. The proof against him
was clear yet the jury could not agree, and the
members of his congregation in Boston have sus-
tanned him and now hold him up as pattern of
chastity and piety. If unfortunately, such people
as these-or, in other words, if the abolitionists
should obtain control of the government in 1861
shall have no fears for the South. The Southern
people will maintain their honor and independence,
and their rights of property, at every hazard. The
hopes of mankind centred in a perpetually free,
united and expanding Confederation, may be blast
ed ; but the Southern people, whatever may happen,
can take care of themselves.
