i CAPITAL HIT.
It was highly appropriate thing, almost IN
INSPIRATION il fact on tue part ofthe honorable
Caleb Gushing, 10 invoko tue spirit Of Calhoun
n his br;ef inaugural address to tho Charles
on Convention. The phraso "Tsuth, Justice
aud the Constitution" is a ye,y mila'seeniDg
lingo in tic mouths o. certain persons. 1t !
would TO quite an 1lnmeaninE and nonsensical |
term il 1os7: OF the lips Of the Honorable Ca |
lcb Cushing. Pronounced hy Smith it r1canB
ono thing; by Jones another; by Pottibono
another Or perhaps nothing at all. But
proclaimed by John G. Calhoun, and QUO
ted at tAis jurciuro by Caleb Cushing 10
4 Nasio.al Democratic Convention, it can
'ucau hut ona Thing, to wit, "Tfuth,

ish Democrats. NJ. Calhonn's uame is d
closely identified with tho doctrine that the
Constitution ca.riss slavery into ali tho tcrrto-
riea. as Mr.. Jeffcrson's with the principle that
alI mcn are create equal. Yea more; for the
princjp!o with which Jefferson initinted the
Declaration Of Independence is RS old as the
humaa yace, .vhi1o the o1e which Calhoun put
forth 40 his Senate resolutions, il 1871, was
original viii, him, end IS this day his own un'
di:pu4d tf-pri,g. As. Calhoun was lhe
great secr Of slavery. He discerned the erd
from TIC hsgluning, aod though his contcmp7'
1a.ies po:h poohed h's dogma out Of Congress,
hssaw c!uatly that The progress ofcvants would
draw The whole Sou'h, ard ty conse qucnce
ths Democratic party, up7n lila platform at 10
distant day. Twelve 5ca:s have passed, and
no fad esvea States threatening to :ccede
from the party un'ess his principle be MADE
tic Democratic crccd cf tl.s nalor, ard eight
mora declaring through their slase Conroi4'
tiona That /! is the uudoubtcd right oi the
shareholder to carry his chattsls into nil the
Territories, and 10 hold them By the power ot
Federal cnQctmenia and Federal bpyoucts
In word, wh1le tho flowers Of ten summers
have bsea bIossoming upon his grave. be has
been abroad overrunping the Sou'h. lie now
zises in his cercmcn:s 10 conquer tho Dem.
ocracy Of the nation. Ar. Gushing did well
to bid him weicc1ne.
Whether tho Coavon.;on at Charlesteu shnl|
adopt the Calhoun pla1form, or nominate
Calhoun Ticket makes no difference. Tit
resul. is ,he same. l. Calhoun Supreme

ernmeut. Il the Charleston nomiuce slla!l b
elecsed in November ne1t7 Calhounism will o
sntbroned at Washington. sud tho law Of s]a
very will be 1hn common law Of The nation. !
was very sinister hit of Mr.. Cushing's-
pointing to tho stnt,1o Of The Carolinian IN
quoting his words to Il National Democrat
oouyention-a very pa1pable bit.
In A4AI EkAAEAAA DAkEA1~AA~*'
We are informed thlt The Illinois CoDtr'
and 6. 4 c. q. roads hare decided upon pu
ting line Of steamboats, upon the MISSISSIPPI
1iver. 10 run IS daily line between Dnnleit
aad ST. Paul, in connection with these road
This measure was adopted in consequence
the Miprcsota Packet Company having ente7e
into contract with the Lacrosse and Missl
aippi Railroads to run their boats in conEc
tio1 with thoss roads, between Prairie
Chen apd ST. Paul. This left the Galcna al
Illinois Central roads without any relab|c 60
nection at DunIo:th for their river busines
These were tho pioneer roads to the M:ssi
sippi, ard they haro built up and sustaln'
the Minnesota Packet Company, uuti they il
not only able to 60 alone, but to discard liz
ancient allies and friends.
Inc arrangen1sn, will not only insure co
nec.idns between the roads and boats at Du
7oi.h, but will give immediate dispatch
passengers and freight TO I'll points On Il
Upper Mississippi. BY far The most importz
feature Of this plan, if carried ou:, is that
insurcs to Chicago hor proper share Of t
grain aad other products Of that region. T
ports thence were first nade. in any eonsidt
able quantities, last season, and l'cncefor'
. with fair crops, will 6wel: the receipts a
shipments OF Chicago several millions mn
ally. Heretofore 1hey havo mainly gono
St. Lauts, and .:1e merchandise and grocer
have b.cn returned f.am she samo city r
is owing 10 the fact that he steamboats, In I
upp.r river t1u3o are owned and controlled
St. L,uis, and they have worked for her int
est. In addition to this, tho St. Louis jobb
have crioced more sagacity and energy
securing this business than Our own mercha,
and It now becomes important to onr conn
oih interest to imprrse The opportunity
sentod By a lns uf boats that are TO work
olns rely for Chicago interests.
i seems II US clearly the policy Of all
ralwa5s from tic lake to tho Mississippi
Dualeith aui above, to join together and N
common int rest in commanding this b
uee., Tue Galtpa and illinois Central b
Inau.urassd lbs msasure. Let tho NORTH
roads Join IN upou tair terms, instead Of thr
Ing tber interest in hror Of the old Anne'
Packet Company, and they will soon hn
viii pay, though tho first seasons opera.|
may call for q small sacrifice from each c
paoy. ......
Milwaukee is equally interested with Che
in bringing this trado to the Lakes. W
Chicago arc entirely willing she should 81
In its profits. We suggest no competi
with heE, cr with the roads that termi'
there. What VIC propose is that wo ah'
NIL unite in securing the entire trade Of
