With respect to tho "prices of provis ion*, of living, and of tabor, "he any* anno 1826): "Wheat sella for from 75 cents to $1 per i bushel; ryo about 50 to 75 cents j oats 87? to 50 cents ; corn 50 to 75 cents.

Mr. Calhoun und bin gifted coadjutor?! led off with their "peacolul remedy of Nullification." Parties divided on tho rrmciiy, not on tho 'Tariff Question,'for on this point nearly all were of one mind. 'StaUs llighta," the doctrine of Secession, &c., were acknowledged by all the prom incut; though it must bo acknowledged that in tho 'Union Forty" were to bo found all the olemeuts of opposition.? Blue spirits and white, bHek spirits and grey, wero ull mingled and the long qui I ot and silent Federalist gladly joined j.gainst the efforts el tbe extremo States Rights school. Mr. whs a chosen represenfativo of the "Union Farty," but of ttio seces. bion school.

Mr. L:vng served his .State and party faitfifully and well and was highly prized by his constituents: but at length achuso for differenco arose The majority in tho Legislature woro Nuilificrs, and enacted tho "tost ruth;" providing uti o&th to a!! otlico holder.* of primary State nlleginnco. Tho Act wis injudicious nnd inopportune. It was intended to proscribe "Uuion men, but it avowed a principle >n accordance with Mr. Lang's views aud professions; ho believed in State* sovereignty and prima ry allegiance, and in his voto adhered to his principles and took issuo with his puny; cast his vote sternly, quietly, with calm dignity, and gracefully retired, (lowing that the net ?lost* 1 his public lifo. Uo lived to prove, tvrico over, his faith by his works. Iii 185ii he stood again by the banner of'Stute sovereignty and "secession," and in IKUO he gave earnestly of hia time and means to the great, but now Most cause,' and had tho satisfaction of greeting as bis comrades iu that last campaign every survivor of tho "fifty-seven. One of these survivors. Col. Me Willie, his colleague in the leg islature at tho timo tf tho "tent oath" Vote, was retained by tho "Union Party" to argue tho great cau^cof the constitu tionality of tho Act bctoro tho great 'Court of Three," composed of those grnud old Judges, William Harper, John Helton O'Neal and David Johnson.? The argument on both sides was able and oxhaustivo, and will long stand as a great constitutional debate. Tho deoreo of this great oourt, Harper dissenting, pronounced the ''Test Oath' unconstitu tionul; but powerful fts were tho argir I manta, lofty as wan tho character for ability and intogrity of tlnsw two great judges, tho decision was never satisfacto ry in Ho. Cn. It resulted in breaking up this great court, and in the late war, South Cart Una scaled with tho best blood of her best sous, on every field from Gettysburg to- Texas, her devotion to States flight*, Recession and primary State allegiance. Hearcd in tho Union School, with a reverence which has known no change, for tbe great arguments and advocates for that decision, and for tho great Judg es who made tho doerce, we have al ways thought that Mr. L?ng was right, and have ever admired and sppWndod his oourso, which prompted him to sse ritico his public lite rather than violate a principle.

Of the first, a speci men could be found ir. the hero ot' all the muster fields of No. Cn , who, "weep-' ing that there were (in N. (J.) no more worlds to conquer," cumo to the Wnx huws to assert his manhood against Co). Blair, and went back homo a'"wiser and sadder man." Oftiie second, the eon tent with Governor Manning nHorded Hivoral instances* and of the third, his duel with the bright vivacious Captain Thomas 1*. Evans afforded a sample. Blair, a.? u>ual. all earnestness, w< nt to his work to carry out his purpose, and shot Evans through the very middle of hit coat. Xie have heard Col. Evans say that TJlxir "stood thoro a huge mon ster of a man, with a pistol as big as a flour barrel oovering him all over, and that hi? lifts was due to tho had fit of one of Frank Allen's coats." Col. Evans' life was wrapped up in a very thin, spare budy, but th:;t body was wrapped up iri one of Frank Allen's fashionable coats, a world too wide. The ball tore through the middle ol the coat, xbut Evans' lile wn* on one side of the centre shot, and Evans lived long to laugh at Frank Allen's fashionable coat. His reputation in these respects and his conduct and bearing in private life mado two men of Ccneral Blair to our young mind. Outside, ou tho streets, at the barbecues, processions, <fco., wo saw Ueneral Blair and trembled. In private life, as a Utile boy, wo have sat uj?on his knee, admired and loved his gentle, winning tnaUmer and his emotional ex pression beaming Irotu a luminous cyo and noblo face, (us we delight ye', to re call it after a lapso of nearly firty years.) and yet, an hour afterwards, would be | somewhat nfVaid of tlu)' otner General Blair, whom we would soo on the streets, Or on some public platform, towering above all men. In extremes of iron will and gentle tenderness, he w?.s not unlike his groat friend, "Old Hickory." They were typos of tueu whioh more modern times huvo greatly modified, if not abolished. His only son, our valued and esteem ed friend. Col. Jj. W. U. Blair, has in herited the intellect, tho will aud gentle iicm of his groat father.
