Calhoun's Work on Government?Tho Relation of North and South. We m;iko the following extract from an editorial in tho Orangeburg Southron : Tho faculty for which Mr. Calhoun's wondeiful mind was almost distinguished, was that of rigid analysis. In nothing that ever emanated from his pen, is this talent moro strikingly exhibited than in his 'disquisition on Government." llere, in a few brief and weighty sentences, we have developed, those great fundamental laws which fhrnr.t tho eolirso of "OVernmeiits. and which wo arc silently, though irresistibly at | work underneath those secondary an<l superficial agencies upon whieh alone, the. vulgar attention fix.is itself. but wbi.h an-j in truth, but the efiects of deeper t-.-ni-cs. i That same faculty of decomposing complex j ideas, and resolving thorn into their simple; elements, which had been brought to l??*n?- j with such wonderful success upon tlx- in-1 tricate question of the ('nrreiiev, the Taritf, I Nullification, the Veto,and oilier.-,lias been ' directed here, with equal, if not greater sue- j cess, to the great question of ( ovcrnment. The great jiractical tri|ih enforced in the "Disquisition*' is, that popular government resting on the basis of the inert* numeral majority, tends to despotism, and that too in obedicnce to the law of the moraj world, nc Dnctnnt fatiil oc 11? j f > *ri?k *u ll?*jl t . <^i*nt'i. tfition it) the material world ; ami that this tendency can only be resisted by such an organism of Society a- will vrst in the weaker interest the power of proteetiutj i themselves against inju.-tiei' ai,.| <*i .)>? <?i<???. | Suffrage, the great panacea in our day. for i nil political maladies, will in.I an-w.r.? I The only effect of Mitfrago i> to tran-ti r, power from the liaiuls of the rulers to tlio-e of the people, by establishing the iv^ponsi bilitv of the Representative ( > tin* constituent. This is all ; it can clleet nothing.' more. Having changed t!?.- scat of tinpower; bailing transferred it from tin- rulers to the mass of the community, it !--m it there, just as unlimited, just :>.s liable to abuse, as it was before ; so that the oulv effect of suffrage, so far a- roiiMi:iiii..u;d restriction and limitation it{> >n power an: concerned, is that, instead ?>f a despotism in the hands of constituted ntnlmritit-s, we have a despotism in the a^r. ?:ite community, wielded by the mum ri>-;d majority of that community, whose icpresentatives thus become mere ministerial agents to register its decrees ! Now, that this despotism, thus transferred by the operation of suffrages, from the constituted authorities to the iiia^s of the community, will be seized upon by tin* strong.-r portion, and used against the weaker lor the purpose of plunder and opprcs-ion, is not only the testimony of history and experience, but the result of inevitable laws. owa r?t (itnca iah-p i.- 4 1? a ' *' - - ' * * v/uv v/* kuvcg ju?o uiu II II'MMIIHJ KMlUrllcy of-{ill communities living under popular governments, to divide ioto two great parties. Diversity and conflict of interest lead to tlic formation of such parlirs, and the same diversity and conflict, of interest which lead to their formation, lead also lo a struggle between them for the control of the government. If no single interest is strong enough to assert and maintain its ascendency, combination will be formed among those whose interests are alike ; and this combination of interest having once obtained possession of the government. , will wield its power for its own aggrandizement, with little or no respect for the rights and interests of the minority. Indeed, so inAtritoKIn 10 *l?'f *1I J ?.J .. ? ^ ' ' ' 1 10 til in uivimuii Ol II1C propiu 1iuo two great parties, that in the absenoflof every other motive, tlie mere fiscal action of tho government will always ! *? ! to their formation, dividing the people into two classes?tlio one consisting ?*f diose wlio pay tho taxes and support the government. \ and the other of those who ctyjisume the . taxes and aro supported by the government; 1 in a word, into tax-payers and tax-cotisui mere?tho one deeply and directly iuterI osted in the reduction of taxation and disbursement, and the other equally interested in their increase. Does not tho present relation of the North and tho .South most favorably illustrate the truth of our nositiou ami mcnt ? Ilns it not long illustrated it? And aro not these causes permanent, accumulating, and irreversible in their very nature ? And when, by the agency of some , or all of these causes, the people, as now, ) bavebecome divided into two great parties ?parties hootile and struggling, the one for ascendency, and the other in self-defence and for self-preservation, the inevitable effect must be that the stronger will, ultimately be victorious and take possession <>l the government; and when thus victorious and in possession, suffering as we have al ruiiuy saw, turnislics no more of guarantor that it will not abuse its powers and use them for its own aggrandizement at the expense of the weaker party. The Duty of the South in the Evknt of Fremont's Ei.ection.-t?'We have come to atnruing point in the history of Ameri/ ca, when such opposing principles meet that on the result hangs the destiny of our country. Thedemon of evil stalks abroad ?l noonday in the Black Republican mind of the North. There aro National men there, -whose lion hearts breast storm, fighting under the banner of the National Democracy for die equality of the States. If these are conquered, though onr hearts will love tlieia,yet in the event of Fremont's election, we wish to put ourselves on the record. Wiser and older heads may see better our futurf, but we believe that the dulv, the rirrliia ?1? 1 . tuo iiuuui m (icorgui nml other sovereign States of the South, should never submit to tho iron rule of a Black Republican President.

The October Term of our Court was brought o a close, on Saturday last, at mid-day, his j lonor Judge Whitner, presiding, with his usual ;owrtesy nn<l ability. The Judge seema to be n line health anil spirits, and has prepared j limself for the campaign, by a sojourn, during' .lie Summer moths, amid the invigorating cli-i male ami scenery of the mountain region, i The Court was closely engaged, during the week, but failed to despatch all the business pending. The return of the Term was small. I Mil there was ail accumulation of oh! business. The Criiiiin.il side of the Court, furnished jut a meagre hill of faro, for our very aide nml ivorthy Solicitor. It. lias been his wont, hero, >11 every circuit to smill'crime "upon the taint'iI breeze hut at this time lie was greeted .villi a very healthy moral atmosphere. The word of Jii:-lice rested i?1 J3* in its scahhar>] or the luck of offender.-*. It seemed 11s if, | -''Hhellu's occupation's gone." A ease of ganing ivitli a slave, and a few nnsnult and hat-, cry case?, comprised the extent of the Session's loeket, and bC'Arcoly roused that, voice, which in* so often hroifcht terror to evil doers.

Among the cases upon the Ikxuc Doekrt, which xeited some interest, was that of W. E. Jack j ion cfc Co. i ermiH John Cunningham. The a uount involved was between two and three | housand dollars, and the question was as to j he revocation of a letter of credit, under which j ;oode had been purchased, hy Defendant's son, I is hiangont, After an aT>!e argument, tlic case [ ivnn referred to an intelligent jury, who stayed j >ut nil night, and reported finally, that they 1 were unable to agree, being equally divided, rhc Court did not see fit to excrciHe the right, ivhich according to Iilackatone, it holds of taking the jury around the Circuit in a carl until -hey agreed, but discharged them. They hud keen without food for twenty-four hours, and ind failed to starve each other into unanimity. Another ease of interest, an appeal from Lhe Decree of the Ordinary, in the matter of Llie will of the lata John H. Hull which ilia posed of a Inrgu estate real and personal, and ihiefly to various charitable societies. The iccrce of the Ordinary was against tlio will, on the ground of the incompetency of ft subscribing witness, who was the Executor. The question of law.made, was whether the interest of an Executor, was sitch as to mako him an incompetent witness, to a will of renl and personal estate; and if so whether the Statute Geo. //did not make void that interest Tho Judge felt himself bound by the weight of authority to reject the witness, and sustain,the Decree. An appeal trill be taken ; and as the decisions are connoting, it will rest npon the Appeal Court, to settle the question definitively.

That, and the succeeding year, till Fall, he practiced his profusion in his native District, on Long Cane Creek, in the ncihborhood of the well known placecalled Trivhnm.

I'ut here, instead of letting rent nnd quiet have their efFcct upon his impaired henlth, he devoted himself to other pursuits which, if not so exacting as the arduous duties he had in n great, measure triveil up, were ntlcast ill calculated to restore hint to j his former vigor and strength. It wnssoon apparent to his friends, that, the end of his earthly sojourn, wnsnot far olf.
