mustmoulder into ruin but the principles
of constitutional liberty, guarded 10y wisdom
and virtue, unlike material elements, do
not decay, Let us devoutly trust that an
other Senate, in another age, shall bear to
new and larger Chamber this Constitution
vigorous and inviolatc, and that the last
generation of postcrity shall witness the de-
libcrations of the Representatives of Amer
lean States still united, prosperous and
free.
In execution of the order of the Senote,
the body will now proceed to the new
Chamber
For CoNGREss.-W perceive from the Or
angohurg Southron that Mr.. W. II. Barnwcll
has been nominated for Congress, as success
sor to Col. keitt. we extract the following
from that journal in relation thereto:
Mr. l}arnwcll in passing through, stopped
short time i'll this place last week, and was
and spirits. Having entered the field of poll
ties, he spoke flccly upon that subject, and
declared himself TO belong the school of 80
Tie regards the Hammond platform n dangc-
rouS one, and, therefore rcpudated it,
In regard to the Charleston Convention,
he advocates the States going into it, but
goes in for excluding all such rcnegades and
traitors as Douglas. We might enter more
at lengh INTO notice of the political senti-
mcnts of Mr.. Barnwell, but as he will doub-
tlcss, in due time, speak of them himself to
the citizens of our District, we will only sum
them up briefly by saying he is for having
the Union restored to It's primitive purity, and
II that cannotbcaccompi mpilshcd, thenits speedy
dissolution"
We presume now that there will be three
candidates in the field.

recently given 10y the citizens of New York to
Hon. j. H. ORR, the PHILADELPHIA Ncrcujv

"Thc urbanity of this iIlustrious citizen
OF South Carolina, his impartiality and firm
ness OF character as presiding officer of the
popular branch of the National Legislature,
his rare intellectual gifts, and his sacacious

respect. In honorng such a man, VIC prove
our gratitude and elevate the moral worth
and dignity ofthc nation"
The PRESIDENTS MESSAGE IN EuRorE.-
The proposal Of Mr.. Buchanan to purchase
Cuba, has startled all Europe. The French
press is even more bitter in its censurcs than
the British. The former pour out their an
athcmas without stint or measure. Mr..
Walsh the Paris correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce. thus registers
the impressions Of this portion of Europeas to
the Message. Even the Russian newspapers
and organs III Europe are aroused by the
language of the document.
The Journal dcs Dcbats, the Constitutional
and the Steele, have given only the portions
which relate to the foreign world--Spuin, Gu
ba. Central America and Mexico. The
Brussels paper, lie Nord, has filled nearly
five of its columns with the same NATTER
The Dcbats furnished short editorial expo
sition of the political purport, and finds the
representation of the disputes with Spain the
most curious feature of the document. The
Republican Steele abstains hitherto from com
mentary. The Nord, Russian organ, remarks
that the manifesto Ostcn is Transcribed almost
literally into the Message. That the friends
OF peace will not be at all edited or encour-
aged by the general cast of its views and
suggestions. On the whole, the message is
OF the highest Importance to the world, and
cannot fail to excite everywhere an immense
sensation"
Much of the foreign po,icy is attributed
to the inspiration of Secretary Cass, whose
speeches in the Senate arc not forgotten

cratic Cniop, hfsS awakened the European
governments to a lively sense of what it could
accomplish, and might, ere long, undertake
for unlimited aggrandisement. President
Buchanan realizes their alarms, and teaches
them the immediate necessity, ofcombination
of sentiment, means and declaration, of the
defence of their interests in Western hemis-
phere.
