Correspondeace of the Chars Courier. Wi'sutJur, March 12. There is now no excitement, properly speaking, in Congress. The temper of the Senate is so calm shut even 31r. Se ward's speech did not rifile it. There was much curisity to hear Gov. Seward's views, and he. was. tlerefore, listened to. His remarks surpri-sed even those who were 'prepared for a very tbr.a speech. lie ii neither a ple:asing nor a forcil e speaker. liiis poidon, as an lur a anti slavery man was fully snatainel. lie be gan by shoning that C:ahf'rnia wa; Vi- I tied to admission, as a State. with her olio Constitution,-nd he declare.d that. 0a ier the circunstances. he woulJ vote for her admission, even if she toleratat davery by her Constitution. itt he would not, as-an, eq'aivalent far the ndmicion taf Cali furnia, consent to bring in ew sl ave State, or tolerate. slavery in the Distric'. lie war'ned gentlemen that no compro mise would succeed. anl that Califoraia ist come into the Uion, without anly equliva leuts.

As to dissolution of the Unin, i et r gued that it was itponiilde. The Union uas kept together by necessity ; and, whenever a breach shdld be made, it was to be between the East anI t he Waest.

S DEATH OF CHANCELLOR JA3ES C. CALDWELL. It becomes our nielancholy office- to re cord the decease of Chancellor CaIldwell, whose carihly career closed on the evening of the I Ith instant, at his residence near ibis place. Although we were aware that his helth was feeble, we were nor pre. pared to realize so sudden a termination of his mortal life with all .its honurs, use fuliess, benevolence anil virtue. 6 ad and unexpected, however, as it is, the fiat of the Almighty came, and his days amongst men are endeJ. In paying a hasty tribute to his memory. we feel fully susiained in saying that the State has lust in the death of the bite Chancellor. a brilliant ornament of her Judiciary, to whose head of wisdom and heart of pmity and virttie. the ad miinistretion of her laws, her puhlic honor and fame, were tist safely comtritted. lie was indeed a bright star in her judicial ;.daxy. heaming ever in mildest, and yet most fascitia tin g I ustre. and attracting the foid and co fliding gaze of the people. whom h." had hmtg served with ability and perfect fidelity in many public relariotis. Chancellor Cahdwell was of Irish par. eniage, and his paternal ancestors were distinguished fir their just and inditiant oppositi n to the tyranny of ligland, the corrupt schemes of t at nmhitionus Island. to detroy the National Parliament of their native country, an'l break her into submtis sin to foreign law givers.
