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,

tendency can only be resisted by such an

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.

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

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.
If that dark day come*?which may God
cause to pass froin our lips?we say witli
the lamented Troup : "Tho argument is ex
hausted?let us stand by our arms."

New Drug and Book Store. '
Our friends Dr. Isaac Iiranch and Mr. C. II. '
Allen, arc about establishing a Drug and Iiook
Store in our Village, and are now receiving <
meir nrst arrivals. The establishment of a t
new Urug Store, may perhaps alarm the fear# ]
of Huine at a distance, who lend a ready ere- <
dunce to an}' report affecting the health of our <
Village; but these we beg leave to assure that <
: our place is and has been quite healthy; and 1
that thiB is merely an attempt to unite with a 1
' rival sister, to supply a demand, which has 1
been hitherto met from abroad.?A Book Store '
is something new bcre, but we think must sue- 1
I- cecd, from our experience of the profits of
i book auctions in our Village. The selections 1
arc very choice in the different departments of
history, biography, poetry and light literature.
Bo, such of our readers aa are disposed to

Our Court.
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. A
iliiliinlhropist in the prospcci, might nnvc anici
paled the dawn of the era when
'All crimes ehnll cense and ancient frauds shall
fail,
tetur|iiiig Justice lifl. aloft lit' scale,"'
??t the shadows of coming events, which diffk;n
the sk}' of the future, would soon <1 ispel the
llusion.
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.
The Grand Jury in their Report brought to

Wc have to deplore the loss of one of our
most distinguished Physicians and useful citizens
; stricken down in the nrime of life, and
iii the midst of hi* usefulness, on the "?th of
Inly, nt his resinenee nt Calhoun, in Autauga
Conntv, in the -Kitli year of his aye, l)r. NATHAN
MX S. JONKS.
The deceased was at MmtnL Pleasant,
Ahheville District, S. C. lie studied tuedieine
in 18X1-'J, under his oldest brother, Dr. \\\ T.
Jones, and Dr. I'arUer, now Superintendent, of
the South Carolina I.unatic Asylum in Columbia.
In the Spring of is:;|, lie graduated in
Transylvania I'niversitv, Kentucky. 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. Thatl'all, he moved to
Vallabusha County, Mississippi, llcre he remained
two years. when his health failed him;
In- then became a resident of Autauga Conntv.
| Alabama, livini; first nine years ut Vernon,
i then five ut Wctuinpkii, siud lastly at his farm
t at Calhoun, where death found liiin.
Durinp this time lie acquired n skill and nn
i eminence in his profession to which hut few nttnin.
There is no ilouht tlint devotion to his
profession prepared the wny to his premature
grave. [,'nderan extensive practice at Wetuinpka,
his health airnin failed him. To recruit it,
if possible, ami to retira from the exhausting
lnbors, under which his constitution already
broken down, was no longer able to bear up,
he purchased, in the year lt-'flO, and moved up!
on his farm at Calhoun. 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. In February of this
! year, he visited his relations in South Carolina,
with his family, nnd returned home the 1st. of
i March, as he said to one of his brothers, on
I leaving his native District, to die. And sure
I enough, noon after he returned, he took to his
I bed. never to leave it. till carried to his crave.
J)r. Jones was, in many respects, a remarkn1
Klc man. He hail a clear and vigorous mind,
ami a good heart. Ilis opportunities for acquiring
an education in early life were limited,
1 lint yet, by npplienlion and attention, he reaelitlie
emiueiice in his profession, well known in
Autauga, and its adjacent Counties in Alabama,
lie will lie severely misled in his community
and County. No one could hnve died whose
death would have been more seriously felt, or
jnorc deeply or universally deplored.
I'p to his Inst sickness, which was from April
till (lis death?during all which time l(fc liore
his sufferings with great patience. lie made no
profession of religion, but, 3'ct, he was no disbeliever.
Jle reverenced the Bible, and made its
precepts tho rule of his life. Truth and honesty
were characteristic of him. He hated dishonesty,
atid those who practiced it, with an
intensity and openijes?, w-fiieli ninilc lulu triemis
of the Rood, and enemies of tlu: had. lit; was
plain spoken, Winit ho thought of men and
things, lie expressed with n freedom too great
for popularity, lull not for fume. In polities
he was a democrat, a Democrat of the Calhoun
school. His friends (who are numerous) were
warm and devoted. His enemies (if nnv) hitter.
In this group of his virtues, it is due to
his memory, to say, that he liel eved, and prae
ticed his belief, in the Temperance cause. lie
was a non userof ardent spirits all his life, and
upon all proper occasions, he was a strong ad?r
?i.L i-;ri../>
But it was I lie liopc lie experiences] (luring
his hint iIliic*.", of a "blissful immortality," that
will givo consolation to his surviving friends
and relations. His heart stricken wife, therefore,
an<l the two little unconscious babes who
survive him, may look up and take couragc.
IIo cannot come back to them. Tlwy may go
to him. There tnay be a re-union iti the skies,
fiod take care of the widow ond the children.
Peace to his memory.
This brief notice is written by one who loved
the deceased in his life, and now that he is
gone, will religiously cherish his memory:
"The Church-yard bears au added stone ;
The fire-side snows a vacant chair !
Here sadness dwells, and weeps alone,
And death displays his banner thcro ;
The life has gone, the breath hasfied,
And what has been, no moreshall be ;

Oh ! where are they, and where is h*f "
