MR, CAM10UY8 SPEECH.
Wakiiixolon March 1, 1850.
The Senate was crowded to-day, in oousequenco
of the announcement tlmt Mr. Calhoun's
speech Would l>e read to the Senato. Mr. Calhoun
wot iu Attendance, mid his speech was
read by Mr. Mabon, of Virginia, and listcued to
with tho most profound attention.
Tho head? of his argument arc that the Union
is in danger, tlM cause being discontent, produced
by the destruction of tho equilibrium in
l>o\vcr between the North and tho South, In
order to maintain the confederacy, the iSouth
must bo fully satisfied that she can remain in
tho Union in safety and peace, a3 iui equal,
wmi urn scurity of rights. In regard to Mr.
Clay's compromise, ho holds it inadequate to
the preservation of tlio Union; nor can it bo
paved if California i* admitted andtho Wilmot
1'rovUb rejected.
It can only bo done by nn amendment of the
Constitution, which will secure the equal rights
of tho South, and securitj^from aggression for
the future. This Union can be saved by giving
to the <b'outh her equal share of tho common
domain, and by restoring, as the Federal Constitution
contemplated, fugitive slaves. 7'ho
?Southhas no compromiso to offer. 2'he question,
if settled at all, must bo settled at tliis
session. It is time to decide it If wo cannot
settle it now, let us part in peace. If you will
not let us separate in pcace, let us know your
determination. In that case tho ndinissioa of
California will be tho test.
Mr. Webster will speak on Thursday.?Carolinian.

with the President's message on the same

in noticing the launch of the ship
"Siubo of Maine," adds that sho was fitted
out with an entire suit of cotton cauvass,
from tho works of the Portland
Manufacturing Company. 'Hie Advertiser
says tluit this article is 01 ruceut introduction,
as ootton duck was officially
condemned by tho Qoyerngymt a few

then, however, great improvements have
been 'made in tho manufacture of thfs

being used by fK&ia of the largest merchantmen
sailing from eastern ports. The
general introduction of this article of canvas
for the uso of ships, will do much towards
securing the commercial indepen(dence
of 6m country, and grop^y increase
the demand for manufacturing labor and

THE WOUD SEI-AII.
Wis lmvo often speculated on the niennin,
of this word as it occura in the Bible. Bclm
we kivu the ojiiuion of various persona concen
ingit. The translator* of the lliblo have let
the Hebrew word Sclah, which occurs so oftei
in Psalms, oh thoy lmvo found it, and of cours
the English reader often asks his minister, o
some learned friend what it means, and eacl
ono has been most often obliged to confess hi
own ignorance of ita meaning, bocuuso it is i
matter*in regard to which tho most lcarnet
have, by no means, been of one mind. Tin
Tiygrnri and most of the Jewish commentators
givo to tho word the moaning of eternally foreu
or. Rabin Kimchi regards it as a nign toele
vatc tl>o voice. Tlio authors of the &cptuagiu
translation appear to havo fregarded itasamu
sieat or rythmical note. Herder regards it ai
indicating a change of tone; Matheson as a mu
sical noto, equivalent, perhaps to tho word re
peat. According to Luther and others, ii
means ai/epcc!. Uesenius explain* it to mean
"Let the instruments play and the singjbrs stop.
Wochea regards it as equivalent to sutsinh rot

SOCIETY OF WOMEN.
There is no society in tho world more
profitable, because none moro refining
and promotive of virtue, than that of refined
and sensible women. Tho 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. Wehonor the chivalrous deference
paid to woman. It evinces not
only respect to virtue, and desiro afto
A'. _ a : 1 a ii- -i ?
puiu hiiuuuuii* uui iimo our women are
worthy of such respect. But women
were not made merely to win men to their
society. To be companions, they should
be fitted to he friends, to rule hearts they
should secure the approbation of minds,
ylnd 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 and the elevation
of his heart.

They determine the course of the

they mark everything with capitals, and
prove everything like jurists. The membranes

the plainest expositions of the nrincinW
of music and of musical composition over

taste of the South and West, (the author
is a Southern man in birth and education,
and all his affinities) and is adapted to the
Day School for children, the Singing

the Missionary and Temperance

and the social party, where good

and noble should rule the hour.
