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.

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

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

Death qf Captain May.?~T\\a St.

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

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,

the armed watchers over a bleep they

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 ]

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.
