MR, CALIIOUN'S SPEECH. Wakhixouon March 1, 1850. 'lite Senate was crowded to-day, in couscquenco of the announcement tlmt Mr. Calhoun's speech would bo rend to the Senate. Mr. Calhoun was in attendance, mid his speech was rend by Mr. Mhmmi, of Virginia, and listcued to with tho moot profound attention. The heads of hid argument are that the Union is in danger; tho cnuwo being discontent, produced by tho destruction of tho equilibrium in power between the North and tho South, In order to maintain the confederacy, tho <Nouth must bo fully satisfied that she can remnm ?> tho Union in safety and peace, ns an equal, with full scurity of right*. In regard to Mr. Clay's compromise, ho holds it inadequate to tho preservation of tho Union; nor can it bo paved if California in admitted and tho Wilmot 1'royWb rejected. It can only be done by an amendment of the Constitution, which will securo tho equal rights of tho South, and security from aggression for the future. This Union can bo saved by giving to tho South her equal share of tlio common domain, and by restoring, as tho Federal Constitution contemplated, fugitive slaves. 2'ho ?b'outh has no compromiso to offer. 2'he question, if settled at all, must bo settled at this session. It is time to decide it If wo cannot settle it now, lot us part in peace. If you will not lot us ?eparato in peace, let us know your determination. In tlmt case tho admissioa of California will be thetco'. Mr. Webster will speak on Thursday.?Carolinian. Nkw York, March 1.

Rumors or War.?It was rumored in the city yesterday that news of a disturbance and collision in the (louse of 7?cpresentatives hod been received by Telegraph. Tliere is not according to our information, any foundation for tho story, ?ud tho proceedings of Congress g&ve no indication of danger, till tho resolution for the admission of California should csme up again which would be to-day. It is not unlikely that the struggle will be again postponed. Mr Ci\llioun'ti speech woe expected to bo delivered today, and it was hoped ho would bo well enough to be present- The attraction of his speech would nave the effect, for apart of the day at leiint, of lelieviog the //onsc proceedings of all interest One circumstanje lias possibly given occaniou to the rumor of a fight The more violent Northern papers havo of lato daily repeated stories that the Southern members go to the I Mouse armed with Bowie knivos and revolvers, I in anticipation of a fray. J'ho object probably is to gather a Northcrp mob at "Washington, in furtherance of the glorious cause of Free Soil.? Mercury. Conghrss.?In this body nothing of interc8thas transpired, if wo except the introduction, on Wednesday, of a bill for the admission of California with all her iniquitous claims.* This proposition was brought forward by Mr. uoty, the author of the scenes on "black Monday." Tho bill wai? committed to a Committee of the Whole, and was discussed in connection] with the President's message on the same subjeot. The debate which followed was participated in by Messrs. Tombs, of Georgia, Baker, of Illinois, and McLnne, of Maryland. Of course this will be a subject of discussion for weeks.--Carolinian 4th imt. Death qf Captain May.?~T\\a St. Louis Union, of the 19th ult., contains an account of the life and death of this young officer, who won the earliest laurels that were gathered in the late Mexican war. He died, savs tho Union, in Saw FjranctL<oo, after a snort illness, from scurvy and bronchitis, produced by along and vory disagreeable passage from New York to that place; by the course of Cape Horn.. At the period of his death, be was about twenty-seven years of nge, and jn tho very primo of his munhood and hirfnop&a. mnv4 > ! v , wit-:$ . !; Cotton Canvass.?!jTho Portland Advertiser, in r 'Hieing the launch of the ship of M linn, nrldn that she wn? fi ted out with an entire suit of cotton canvass, from the works of the Portland Manufacturing Company.

THE WORD SELA1L Wo havo oflon speculated on the meaning of this word as it occurs in the Bible. Below we give the opinion of various persons concerning it. Tho translators of tlio Bible bavo left the Hebrew word iSclnh, which occurs so often in Psaluis, as thoy have found it, and of course the English reader often asks his minister, or some learned frieiwl wlmf if ???! ono lifts been most often obliged to confess his own ignorance of its meaning, because it is a matter' in regard to which the most learned have, by no means, been of one mind. Tho Targum and most of the Jewish commentators, givo to tho word the meaning of oten tally forever. Rabbi Kirncbi regards it as a sign to elevate tho voice. Tho authors of the ?epluagint translation appear to liavo frogardod it as a musical or rythmical note. Herder regards it as indicating a change of tone; Matheson as a musical noto, equivalent, perhaps to tho word repeat. According to Luther and others, it means siltnee! Uosenius explains it to mean: "Let the instruments play and tho sirttrersston: Wothdti regards it as Equivalent to suhhim cor da?up my soul! fiommer after examining all tho ecventy-four passages in which the word occurs- recognises in every case "an actual apf>eai or suimnons to Jehovah. Y'hoy are calls or nidj add prayers to be heard, expressed either with entire directnoss, or if not in the imperative 'Hear Jehovnh!' or awako Jehovah, or the like still earnest- addresses to God that ho would rememder, and hear, ?tc. The word itself, he regards as indicating a blast of trumpets by the priests. Selah itself, he thinks an abridged expression used for Higgaion, indicating the sound of tho stringed instruments, and Selah a vigorous blast of trumpets.?liibliothcca Sacra. Tho following extract from the Last vin diention of young Mcngher, is tmsurpas- ! sed in elonuniien and nnwnv i J J , v~ he saye: "If thou wilt show no relenting, but continue fierce and merciless to the end, as Heaven is abovtvthee, the day of thine own fell, the day that shall see theo utterly overwhelmed, shall come at last' And not by all thy glory (hen, Bv mined hosts arrayed, By ]>onip nnd power nnd mighty men, Can Qod's right urm be stayed! Then shall thou feol the earth heaved beneath and the skies above theel Then 1 shall thy fons exult and thine allies tremble;?tiien from the warm south and the chill north, and the golden east, shall ri.ig shouts of derisive triumph?from the isles ( of the sea go up peans of rejoicing; and then shall the angel of freedom appear, and roll away the t3tone from the sepul viiiv vi iitmuu o iiuwuiKVi UiUUIllg It j arise to a glorious rcsurrcclion?while i the armed watchers over a bleep they deemed eternal, stand aghast, drop the sword from their palsied hands, and faint in their armor. When thus Ireland, thy free sister, begins anew her national existence, may | she be warned by thy fall against pride, cruelty, oppression, extortion, and that do ] fiant forgetfulness of God which is the | soul or tyranny. # SOCIETY OF WOMEN. There is nc society in tho world more profitable, because none more refining and promotive of virtue, than that of refined and sensible women. The beauty | of women is made to win, her gentle voice to invite, the desire of her favor to persuade men's-sterner souls from strife to peace. We honor t'?e chivalrous deference paid to woman. It evinces not nnlv W'linftnt fr? vii/.lift, ami Hncirfl nffo pure nffectiony but that our women are worthy of such respect. But women were not made merely to win mon to their society. To be companions, they should be fined to be friends, to rule hearts tuey should secure the approbation of minds. u4nd a man dishonors them, .as well as disgraces himself, when he seeks their circle for idle pastime, and not for the improvement of his mind nnd the elevation of his heart.
