Firm and unwavVing midst the strife, His oul has never falter'd; And standing on the verge of life, .Hjs -feelings are unalter'd ; It holy light, the gem of mind, Is --brilliantly displaying. Though the frail casket where 'tis shrinM Is silently decaying. Without nobil ity or name, Our country's geniu found him, And kindled in his heirt her flame, And threw her mantle round him. Undaunted when that country's right. a ..-: ! was invading. 1 Me won a chanlet midst the tisht, Untainish'd and unfading. f w Now, where deith's silent waters lave Life's shore, his sun's declining; Hut far beyond the gloomy grave, immortal light is shining; For, on the uncreated one, In humble faiih relying. He trusts, when' all his work is done. Through grace, to triumph dying. Lay him not in a marble tomb. Where seulptur'd forms are weeping; But let him rot in silent gloom. Where his cherishM wife is sleeping: There make his grave, where bright blue skies, And glorious stars are shining; Where bright eyed flowers, in rainbow dyes, Are lovingly entwining. Let no scarcoph3gus e'er tell The patriot hero's story; Imperial splendor ne'er can swell The measure of his glory. There is a tide that can't be stay'd, In noble hearts that love him: The monument his deeds have made, The world will place above him. TO-MORROW. To-morrrovv! To-morrow! How sickness and sorrow Will too surely follow The dawning of day. .Some will be dying here, Some will be sighing here, Some will be crying here For friends far avvav ! Fathers and mothers, too, Sisters and brothers, Ion, Husbandsand lovers, too, Will long rue ihe day. For riches are fleeting here, Happiness seldom here, Death, too, ever near, While all appears gay. From the Union. MR. CALHOUN. The following is Mr. Calhoun's reply to a letter from a committee of the citizens of Mobile, inviting him, with many expres sions of Tegard, to visit1 their city. We copy il from the Register, of May 27: Fur t I lit I, May 15, 1845. Gentlemen: From some delay in the mail, I did not receive, untl a few days since, your let' er ol the 2 1st April, inform ing me that at a democratic meeting held in ihe citv of Mobile on the 14lh ot the same month', you were appointed a commit tee to express ti'e cordial approbation of the meeting of my public conduct; their grati tuile for my serv ices, and to offer, on the part of the meeting, sue h ether manifesta tions of their respect and esteem as you might think proper. I will not attempt to express the grati tude 1 feel for the warm approbation of my public conduct and services, expressed by the meeting in their resolutions, and the ve ry acceptable manner in which you have performed the duty intrusted to you. In performing it. you have alluded with particular approbation to my conduct and services in reference to State rights, and du ring the period I filled, for a shoit time, the State Department under the late admin istration. . V '. To'no part of my public life do I look back with greater-pleasure, lhan that de voted to expounding and maintaining the relations between the federal and State go vernments, on which th doctrine of State rights depends; and it is a great consolation for me to think it has not been in vain; The federal government, regarded in it federal ive character, in which States an't not individuals are its constituents, is the most remarkable ever formed; arid promi ses, if carried out honestly and fairly as such, a higher degree of prosperity and happiness lhan has ever fallen to the lot of any people. On the other hand, regarded as a national government, in which indi vidualsand not States are the constituents, it h is nothing novel or remarkable about it. Instead of a great federal republic, as it is. it would be in that character a hWe. un- wiehly democracy, destined to be torn into fragment by hostile and conflicting inter est, and to terminate in convulsions. Such being my conviction, I felt it to be my du ty to maintain the federal character of the government against the national or consoli lali ve, at any sacrifice and hazard, and shall continue to do so as long as its shall please the Author of my being to spare my life. The s ervices 1 rendered during the period I filled the State 'Department, were perfor med under great difficulties and embarrass ments. Nothing, indeed, hut the magni tude of tjie questions involved in the nego tiations in reference to Texas and Oregon, with the difficulties and embarrassments en- circlinc them, and the unanimous call of the country to take charge of the negotia tions, could have induced me to leave m retirement, and return to public life. He- sides tnose mat were intrinsic, there were many that were of an extraneous character. Among others, the adminstralion was lit erally without a party in Congress, and ve ry 'feebly supported by the people: and the presidential question was pending, which experience had taught me over ruled, in i great measure, all others. The negotiation in reference to Texa first claimed my attention, because it wa the most pressing, and could not be delay ed without hazard. In order to; avoid the difficulties and embarrassments which 1 ap preheuded from the presidential election, I resolved to keep entirely aloof from the party politics of the day, ands especially from questions relating to the election, and to use my efforts to induce the candidates not to commit themselves against annexation I had little apprehensions that Mr. Van lijuren would, as a great majority of his friends, with General Jackson at their head, had declared for it. The posiiion of Mr. Clav was different. The masses of his friends in the North opposed it, which 1 leared would swav him. In order to prevent it, if possible, I saw some of his ft : 1 , prominent friends, with whom I was on hiendly terms, and used every argument 1 could with them to exert their influence: to prevent him from coming outagainst it. it was all in vain. His letter in opposi tion soon after appeared, and Mr. Van Uu ren's followed shortly after, most unexpec-i tedJy to me. Their! effect was great. Mr. Clay's friends were rallied against it to a man, al though the great body of them in the WeS ana .ouin were strongly disposed to sup port it, and not a few of the prominen openly committed in its favor. 1,1 was difierent with Mr. Van Buren's. The great body of his supporters remained firm in it,s support; but an active, infl.ien tial, & not an inconsiderable number, adhej red to his course. Indeed, the stand taken by the selected candidates of the two great parties, with the influence of the presidenh tial question and the feebleeness of the ad' ministration in Congress and the country!, seemed1, for a time, to render the prospect of success almost hopeless. j To these causes of opposition there must be taken into consideration another, to real! ize the difficulties and. embarrassments that stood in the way of the measure. 1 allude to abolition. It may, indeed, be truly re garded as the main spring which put the others in motion. The abolition party in the North and West had taken an early and decided stant! against it, and had gone so far as to adopt measures to influence the party in GreJi Britain, and through them the liritisi government to oppose it, as the most effect tual means of abolishing slavery in the Ul nited States and throughout the continent;. The scheme was to abolish slavery in Tex as as the most certain means of doing so in the United States, and that of doing it throughout the continent. Io consum mate this grand and well-laid scheme, it was indispensable that Texas should be prevented from being annexed to our Uni--on; while the only possible way to defeat it and prevent the mighty consequences which would flow from it, was the annex ation of Texas. The course of the British government at an early stage of the negotiation, made it manifest that it had warmly and fully embraced the scheme. The declaration Lmade by its minister at Washinjgton to our government belore it had lairJy eommenr ced, (a copy of which was left at the Dej partment of Stale after 1 entered on its du ties,) left not a doubt on that ; "point. It, Indeed, as well a& avowed it, by declaring that. Great Britain, dejirtU to its .ffUyerj abolished in Texas and throughout the journal received the information on the ivo ld, and that she was using constant ef- subject that we have, he could not have (bits i o effect ii by inference, that she supposed that the venerable inmate of the -iv;is 1 using her influence and diplomacy Hermitage would desire the pos'ponement jviih Mexico to agree to recognise the in of thi long-promised visit. We are au lepetulene of Texas, on condition that thorized to sav, on unquestionable authori jhey should abolish slavey. ty, that this visit is made " hovirih compli- . I saw in this declaration, thus formally ! h:ar!e to f pur government, a confirmation pf what 1 believed to be her scheme of pol icy in connection wiih Texas from other but less conclusive evidence in my possvs $ion. I saw also clearly that whether it should succeed or not, depended on the fact' whether Texas should or, should hot be annexed; and tht, if it suc ceeded, its inevitable consequences would e the final consummition of her.great and deep design, -to be followed by the desoU- tion of the South, the prostration of the commerce and prosperity of the continent, with a monopoly on her part of the great tropical products of sugar, coffee, ric?, to bncco, and coiton, which are almost exclu sively, as far as ibis continent is concern ed, the result of siave labor. Seeing all this, the question presented to me wa, now stvaii ine ueciaranon oi tne Biitish government be met? halhii be si lently passed over, leaving annexation to be urged on other and different grounds, or shall it be directly and boldly met and exposed? .. 1 1 is not in my nature to hesitate be tween such alternatives. My conviction is deep, that iruth, honesty, and plain dea ling, is the true policy on all occasions in the management of public ;iffairs, includ ing diplomatic; and 1 resolved, without he itation, to take them as my guides on this memorable occasion. The defeat of this deep-laid scheme; the success of annexa tion, (as rrny now be almost certainly said,) ihe vindication of the great institution on which our safety depends, and the rescue of the commerce of ihe continent from the grasp of commercial monopoly, have been the result; and, I may add, as far as I am individually concerned,- your approbation. that of the meeting you represent: and, if 1 may judge from indications, nearly ol the whole country now, ofmy course. But, at the lime, the approbation Was not so unanimous. Denunciations then, loud and deep, fell on my head. l was cnargeu wnn introducing a new local subject of little importance into the Texan issue, with the base design of inju ring the prospect of one of the presidential candidates, and of dissolving the Union? And many, wno aia noi go so iar, even southern men, whose all was at stake, thought that I acted injudiciously in intro ducing the slave question, and giving it such prominence; that it was calculated to have a bad party effect, and to drive off some of the party who were not sound on .i mm . a' the-subject oi aoolilion, or who desired to obtain the rotes of abolitionists. But pass them without remark or comment now, when time and experience, and the approbation of the country, sanction the wisdom of the course 1 adopted. The absorbing character of the negotia tion in reference to Texas, did not so en gross my attention as to neglect that of Or egon. As soon as the former was suffici ently despatched, and the business of the department brought up, 1 entered on that. 1 lei t it in an unhnished stale, and as it is still pending, I am not at liberty to .speak of the course I took in reference to if; but I trust, when it comes to be made public it will not be less successful in meeting1 your approbation and that of the '-country generally. It is a subject not without uieat difficulties; and t feel assured I shal be pardoned for expressing a- hope lhal it may be so conducted, by those to whose hands it entrus:ed to finish the negotia tion, as to bring it to a successful and satis factory termination, and thus avoid an, ap peal to arms. Neither country can possi bly gain anything by such an appeal, nor can possibly desire it if it can be honorably avoided. In conclusion, 1 assure you, and through you those you repiesent, that it would af ford me great pleasure to partake of the public dinner you.have tendered me in their name, and of forming the personal acquaintance of my numerous friends in your city; but it is not now in my power. It is probable, however, I shall visit my son,, who resides in your State, some time next autumn; and in that event, I will will make it a point to visit Mobile,iwhen I shall be happy to meet you and ail my friends. ;V With great respect, yours truly, J.

HOUSTON; We regret to see, in the Courier of last evening, an article calculated, to give an er roneous impression in regard to the object of General Houston's visit to the J United States. Had the editor of that respectable ance with a pressing invitation irom ben. Jackson, which! has been most strongly urged since the rapid decline olhis healtn. But it is intimated that Hen. Houston is oppos- d to annexation, and that at this critical period," in the progress ot the measure, he ought, as a patriot to remain "at homo. Now. we submit that the ire- verse of both these inferences is the fact. , Not only, is Gon. Houston not opposed to annexation, but he has been, we have high authority for saying, at every stage of the agitation of the question, its steady and en lightened advocate. And more, we ven ture to say that vvhen the true and authen-"" tic history of. this question, in all its as pects, isdeveloped, il will be found that it is more to his influence than to any olher individual the United States will bejn- debted (or the glorious accession ot lexl to. the Federal Union. (ien. Houston, it is true, if we under-. stood his posiiion correctly preferred-; more liberal terms for his country ; but h5 waived these subordinate object loriVsoonei than defeat the great result. " A patriot on - not justly, be censured for demanding, m the preliminaries of a negotiation, all that poss i bly can be obtained for Hjpj o w n go y- , ernment. ".. '. ; " ' ' We do not conceive, either, that there is anything ""critical" at the prcsenf junc ture, in our relations with Texas. It z conceded on all hands, that there is, amon the people of Texas, no serious oppositic io annexation, and mere is no aouoi i"" the Executive will faithfully execute f" ri will. There is abundant evidence oi- thif by this time, in the possession of our gov ernment. , It Texian patriotism is to . have a victory in the success of this measure, it has beer: already gained gained by the calm '-j?- 1 argumentative discussions that have taf place between President Jones, Gen. fir-j, ton, and the able and discreet Americ-. minister (Mr. Dohelson) entrusted with l! management of the negotiation. l i. question is settled as far as the Executiv of Texas is concerned. The great Fire at Quebec. Theio! loss by the great conflagration at Quebec on Wednesday last, is variously estimate;, at from $1,000,000 to S3, 000,000. On' nccount savsithat between 1500 and 200' houses were consumed, and about ,12600 persons, -one third of the population of th city, lendered houseless and in vvant t the c3mmonf necessaries of life. The hos pital, to which a number of sick person were carried, caught from the flakes of fir. wafted from the burning district, and w entirely consumed, with some S of,, its - i mates. Twelve bodies had been .rccovt ed, and it was feared that many more wc buried beneath the ruins -perhaps sixty or eighty. Every exertion was making in Montreal to alleviate the distress of the un fortunate sufferers. The Provincial "Gov-' ernment sent down 2000 Tor their im mediate necessities; the Catholic Bishop, Seminary arid Hotel l)ieu. each forwarded JE500, and Lord Metcalfe also sent a dona tion of j500. Ralei 'h Star, Bur fed Alive. On the 1 8th ulU thp whole population of the little town of An gois?e. Fiance, were placed in theutmo'st alarm and consternation, by a report that mysterious sounds had been heard to issue from the cemetry of that place. , At last it' was suggested tlfat Pierre Malct, who had been buried the preceding evening, and who twice previously had been thought dead, but had returned to life! "Acting on this idea, his friends repaired to the church-yard, when a dull but continuous noise was heard proceeding from Pierre's grave. "'Spades were npeedily obta'ried, and the coffin dug up and opened, wheri the unhappy Pierre was found-still living, although in a most deplorable state, his hands and feet bleeding .from ifie violent efforts he had made to call the attention of ihe passers by.
