the man who recently delivered an
elaborate opinion denying the consti-
tutional power of Congress to make
paper money legal tender. (See the
case Of Borie rs. T'oH, Legal IntelH-
gencer Of March Is, 1864, page, 92.)
And when we go further back, and
examine his early history, we find
ample justification for all we have
written, and more. So long ago as
April, 1884, he appeared as "The
Orator of the Day." at a meeting of a
States Right Association, in Phila-
delphia. We here copy some of the
proceedings of that interesting convo-
cation from "Ibe Examiner and Jour-
nal of Political Economy, Deroted to
the advancement ofhe Cause Of State
Rights and Free Trade" Tol., l, page
300.
The orator on that occasion deliv-
cred long and carefully prepared
vindication and eulogy of the State
Rights, Virginia and Kentucky reso-
lutionc, herein before cited and sum-
med up his elaborate endorsements
thereof as follows:
"IIe come back to our starting place,
and finding nothing in the Constitution
establishing any final juoge Of the emu
merated porcrs, prohibitions, and re
serccd rights, II must rest upon the dd-
mited principles Of general lar, IN cases
Of compost betmeen parties haring no
common Superior, EACH STATE HAS
THE RIGHT TO JUDGE FOR ITSELF OF
THE INFRACrIONs OF THE COMPACT,
AND TO CHOOSE FOR ITSELF THE MOST
PROPER AND EFFICIENT REMEDIES" "
The better to exhibit still further, if
possible, the true character of that
meeting and its distinguished orator,
the following toasts are copied from
the proceedings. (Same rol., p. 312)
Toast: "John c. Calhom-thc
first 10 throw himself into the breach
against Federal usurpation. May he
lire to see his principles predominant
throughout the acorH"
Toast: "IHe Patriots, otherwise call
ed Nullfo's Of South Caroljaa-their
memories will be cherished when the
advocates of the Force Bill are forgot
ton, or remembered with exccration."
Toast: ,Ihe State Of South Caro-
hna-as her principIes are cherished,
mc need no fear usurpdtion, either in
the Legislative, judicial, or Executive
departments Of the Government"
The Hon. John c. Calhoun was
among those invited to this meeting by
Judge Sharswood and others ; but de-
clincd in Il published letter of sympa-
thy.
We thus submit, as briefly as pos
siblc, the record of the Democratic
candidate, and of the party which
placed him in nomination. We feel
that no added comments could do jus
tee to the subject and only ask you,
fcllow-citizcns, to examine the whole
record with care, and under a sense OF
your solemn responsibilities to your
country, render your verdict at the
ensuing election.

The Ship pr Death.

Since the time when Ancient Mariners
told the terrible tale of the curse.laden
ship with her crew Of, glastly corpscs,
no more thrilling story of tho sea has
been related than. that of the whale ship
Diana, thai" recently drifted into one Of
the shetladd Islands A year ago she
left the Shetlands or whaling voyage to
the Arctic regions, having on board iilty
men. From that time nothing more was
heard of her. Tho friends OF those on
board became alarmed. Money was raised
and premiums offered to the first vessel
that would bring tidings Of the missing
ship, but of no avail. Hope was almost
abandoned. On the I'd of April the peo-
pie near Rona's Voc, in Que of the Shet-
land Isles, were startled at seeing n
ghaAly wreck of ship sailing into tho
harbor Battered and ice crushed, sails
and cordage cut away, boats aud spars
cut up for fuel in the Arctic u.3ltcr. her
decks covered with dead and ! ing the
long lost Diana sailed ID like ship from
the Deadman's Land. Fifty men sailed
out Of Lerwick in her on bright May
morning last year. All of the fifty came
back in her on tho ID of April, this year
the same, yet how different.
Ten men, of whom the Captain was ono
lay stitiled corpscs On the deck thirty
FIVE lay heIplessly sick, and some dying
two retained sufficient strength to CREEP
aloft and the other three crawled fccbly
about the deck. The ship was boarded
By the islanders, and as they climbed oyer
the bulwarks the man at the wheel fel
fainting from excitement one of thu
sick died as he lay, his death being an
nounced by the fellow occupant OF hi'
berth fcebly moaning, "Take away this
dead man" On the bridge Of the vessel
lay the body of the Captain as il had lain
for four months, with nine of his dead
shipmates by his side, all decenily laid
OUT by those who soon expected to share
their fate. The survivors could not bear
to sink tic bodies of their comrades into
the sea, but kept them so that when the
last man died the fatcd ship that had been
their common home should be their com
mon tomb. The surgeon of the ship
worked faithfully TO the last, but cold
hunger, scuryey aud dyscntery were toc
much Tor him. The brave old Captair
was the first victim, aud died blessing hi'
men. Then the others fell, one by one
until the ship was tenanted only by The
dead and dying. One night more at SCI
would have left the Diana floating coffin
Not one of the fifty would have lived Ii

UNCERTAIN TENURE.-A gentleman
who lives down where Marion Square
used to be, had the good fortune, a few
days since, to secure for bis family the
services of an excellent girl-none of your

ical nov-a.days) but sensible girl, who
wanted permanent home, and who, we
are happy to say, has succeeded in getting

Square, as it proved. A few hours after
she found herself at home there, nice
man from Albany called to see her, and
she postponed the family washing then in
hand, to take a walk with him. That
must have been an agreeable walk, for it
is going to last while they both do i've

Daniel Webster, in one of his noble ha-
rangues, thus referred to the terrible mis-
fortune Of the overthrow of Constitutional
liberty. We hope those who are SO ready
to acquiesce In it as thing
will read what "the Great Expounder"
says and have their virtues revived:
"Other misfortunes may be borne, or
their effects overcome. IF war should
sweep commerce from the ocean, another
generation may renew it; if it exhaust
our treasury, future industry may replen-
ish it; if it desolate and lay waste our
fields, still, under a new cultivation, they
will grow green again, and ripen to future
harvests. It were but trife, even, If
the walls of yonder capitol were to crum-
BILE, its lofty pillars should fall, and Its
gorgeous decorations be covered By the
dust of the valley. s''ss a.'
"All these might be rebuilt. Butwho
shall reconstruct the fabricof demolished
government? Who shall rear again the
veil proportioned columns of Constitua

the skillful architecture which unites Ma

Now, if these columns shall fall, they viii
be reared not again. Like the Coliseum
and the Parthenon, they willbe destined
