WhY WAS- NOT JUDGE BERRIEN'S
ADDRESS ADOPTED.
The address of the Southern members
of.Congiess to their constituents is as
sailed by Southern Whigs by strong de
ninciation, and that of Judge Berrien
r.eceives their fullest approbation. Thev
profess to have been willing to sanction
its sentiments, and to regret that It was
not adopted by the Southern meeting.
It is lauded as so correct in its delinea
tion of the condition of the slavery ques
tibn, and yet so conciliatory in its tone,
that it was factious and disorganiting to
reject it, and inits place to put forth the
sectional appeal written by Mr. Calhoun.
One breathed the spirit of patriotism,
say these assailants, the other was the
voice of treason and disunion. The de
feat of Mr. Berrien's address in the Con
vention is arrayed as a crime against the
repose and peace of the Union.
Let us inquire, then, who defeated-il
ly .whati ii tecas-was-i*--vete4-dow -n4
oe by whoin quietly abandoned to its
fateI
On the 22d of Januaty, the Conven
tion met a second time. Early in the
proteedings, Mr. Bayly, of Va., and Mr
Venable, of N. C., stated in speeches
that they made, that though preferring
Mrr Calhoun's address, yei, for the sake
of union and harmony, they were ready
to y ield their preferences, and vote for
Mr. Berrien's address, if that- proved
mo.st acteptable.
What took place ftext? Mr. Stephens
offered his resolution declaring it inex
pedient for the meeting to take any ac
tion- This was voted down-59 to 18.
subsequenily the vote was taken on
the proposition to adopt Mr. Berrien's
ad'ress in lieu of Mr. Calonf's. It
was. rejected by a vote of yeas 37, nays
34. The diminished vore was owing to
a dozed Witigs who weie present refus
ing ro ,ote. These were Messrs. Ste-.
phen:fj T6mbs, J. V. Jones, .T, B. King,
Underwood,4orehcad, Preston, Cocke,

Bayley and Venable, and aid 'in the a
doption of an address conceded to be
unexceptionablt? The answer is, they
did not desire to see the South united
on this question. Their object was divi
sion, discoid and distraction, They
have paitially succeeded. Their plan
seens to be 116ithfully pursued by por
tions of the Sbuthern Whig press, who
have taketf their cne and ate creating all
the bad blood they can in the South by
assailing in coarse and virulent language
the supporters of Mr. Calhoun's address.
In this malevolent work, the Chronicle
& Sentinel is conspicuous. It thus plays
into the hands of the Abolitionists of the
North in a way to win frpm them a
chuckle of deliht. "Divide and Coh
quer." the old Roman motto, is applica
ble hera, and the Abolitionists doubtless
rejoice in the pt ospect of its efficacy.
If the Aboliontionists had bought the
Chronicle &c Sentinel, body an.] soul,
and sent the editor as an ceissary among
us, their policy would he to weaken atnd
distract us by assailing the motives and
impugning thte patriotismn of our South
ertn statemtnt. fTeir piolicy would be
to sow among us the seeds of suispicion,
of distrust of each other, when all South'
ern tmen should be fitrtm and true to each
other and the South, a'nd stand shtotlder
to shoulder ready for tihn onset of the
common enemy. The CItron. & Sent.
has industriously ptursued this policy,
under what influences and sanction it is
yet to appear. Its indignation has uni
formuly been spent upon those at the
South who htave raised the voice of re
monstrance and resistance to Norther n1
aggression. Its ind igna tion ne ver se~ems
to tutn upon the aggresso's, or to breathe
thte latngttage of at sense of wrong. Its
:narvelous placidity anid contentment itn
thte face of tIhe steady. advancing anti
savery encroachmnict wvears a very sus
picious air,

CIVIL GoVERNMEN't IN CAUTFO.IA.
A tile of Star and Californian, publish
ed at San Francisco, to December 23,
furnishes evidence of the actual exis
tence of a civil governnient, for the pre.
servation of society and the punishment
of crimes recognised by every society:
"On the 16th of December a trial
took plice in the village of San Joso be
fore Judge Kimball H. Dinimick, al
calde of thel district, and a jury enipan
ulled for the case, of three men, named
Davis, Campbell, and Urcer, for mirler.
The jury pronounced a verdict of guil
ty, and itey were sentenced to be hang
ed. The sentence was carried into ex
Pcution on the 18th, in presence of a
large concourse of :itizens. The con
victs confessed their guilt, and embraced
the Catholic faith. The other men
were subsequently tried for participation
in the sane crime, viz: Cotton, Voo!ard
and Lee, and the two latter to the
additional charge of perjuty. They
also were found guilty, and were sen
tanced for tihe first offence to receive,
Cotton fifteen and the two others eigh
teen lashes, antd the latter no the addi
iional charge, forty lashes each, and
one month's coufinement in the stocks-.
C. E. Picket, tried at Fort Sacrememto,
on a charge of the murder of Mr. Alders
mat), was acquitted."
The provisional govei-nment meetings'
whichi had beeni held, as heretofore noti
ced were first at San Jose, next at Ptie
bla, and then Sain Fi ancisco. Thme
result was as follows:
A concurrent recommendation to the
itnhabitants of California to hold meet

GENIUS DEFICIENT IN CON
VERSATION.
The Erent Peter Corneille, whose ge
nius resembled that of our'Shakespeare,
and who has so forcibly expressed the
sublime sentiments of the hero, had no
thing in his exterior that indicated his
genius; on the contrary, his conversation
was so insipid, that it never failed of
wearying. Nature who lavished on him
the gifts of genius, had forgotten to blend
with them he. more ordinary ones. He
did not even speak correctly, that lan.
guage of which he was such a master.
.When his friends represented , to him
how much more he might please, by not
disdaining to correct these trides,- lie
would smile and say, "I am not the less
Peter Corneille!"
Descartes, whose habits were formed
in solitudo and mieditations% was silent in
fiiixed company; and Thomas describes
his mind by saying, that he received his
intellectual ,wealth from nature in solid
bar, but -not in current .oin; or, as Ad
dison expressed the. sanim idea, tom
paring himself to a banker, who pos:
sessed the wealth of his frieids at home,
though lie carried hone of it in his pock
one of tie Port Royal Society, who
said of a scintillant wit "le conquers
me in the drawing room, but surrenders
to me at discretion on the staircase."
Such may say with Themistocles, when
asked to play on the flute; "I cannot
fiddle, but I can make a little village a
great 'city
The delcienies of Addison lh noh
conversation are well known. He pre
served a rigid silence among strangers,
.but if he was silent, it was the silence of
meditation. How of6en at that roomernt
he labored.at some futore Spectator.
The tynical Mandeville compared Ad:
di'son, after having paissed an evening in
his cpmpany, to-a sileni-1parlor in a-tile

La Ftntain'e, says La Bryeie, a'p
peared'coarse, heavy and stupid; he
could not speak,or describe whaLhe had
just seen; but when liewrote he was the
very model of poetry.
It is very easy said a IU'horous ob
server on La Fontaine, to be a man of
wit or a fool, bat to be both, and that
too in the extreme degree, is indeed ad,
mirable, and only to be found in -.jim.
This observation applies to that fine
natural genius, GoldsMith.
Ch;ucer was more facetions in- his
tales than in his conversatieni and the
Countess of Pembroke used to rally him
by saying that his silence was more
agreeable than his conVersation
Isocrates, celebrated for his beautifrl
oratorical compositions, was of so tihiid
a disposition thait he never ventured to
speak in-public. He conpared himself
to whetstone, which will not.cut, but
enables others to do this; for his pro
productions served as models to others.
Vaticanson was said t be as much of
a machine as any lie made. ..
l)ryden says of himself, "Mty idnvbr
