Calhoun, "js a mark of respect for an eminent statesman, whom the people delight to hoi.or."

Whether we review Mr. Calhoun in the walks of private life, aspu-e in morals, and exemplary in all ihe social and domestic virtues, or whether we contemp'a'e him :s a Statesman, of vast experience, lofty aims, and unrividled abilities, especially in the department of finance, r as a hold cham pion of democracy, endowed wi'h g;cat moral courage as well as ti!rnt, to sutain its cause, he presents the most exalted claims to public attention and regard; especially, at a time like this, when, an unhallowed ambi ijn is throiteninr the liberties of the people, by thp effort to strike the veto po.ver out of the Const iiu tion, by stifling the liberty of speech in j the D -ric ami Ionic pillars of the Tempi; Congres, and by insisting wirh d. spertte jof Liberty, they aie both essential to pr.' pertinacity, to force upon the country a se- jerve the strength, beauty, and harmony of ries of measures, a B-mk, protective tariff, j' he structure, and the distribution uf the public revenue, j which must end if -ucce sful. m cor.upti gl Washington August 30. 1S42.

Gent'emen: 1 have the honor of ac knowledging ihe receipt, of your letter of the 10h iiiS'ant, inviting me in behalf of many of ihe ci'izens of W arren and the ad joining Counties to a public dinner to be given the Hon John C Calhoun at Shoc co Spiings: 1 tender to you my thanks for the flattering terms in which that invita tion is conveyed. Sjmpaihising as I do, with you most cordially iu th admiration which you ex press for the illusrious sta'esman whom you design to honor, and still more deeply in tho cause of that political eivilizition of wmcn he is at once the-glory arm the type, 1 cannot but regret the unavoidable cir cumstances which prevent my participa ting in mis merueu irihute to surpassing genius anu aistinguisheii services. Could we forget the brilliancy of his career; the moral and intellectual greatness which il- jusiraie ms cii.hu;ii;j , jvi viewing nim as the exponent of the gieat pu-.ciples of the reform we advocate selfishness ite!l ... ...i i . .... .......:,, r. ,,i . . juiu l07iL us iu ouaiaiu any.' iuu:caie ins lame. In what of our pr inciples does he fail us? What one opinion which his party profess does he conceal, conf-ise, or compiom i?e; ofwhat intertsi of unhackl.-d com ce, of t.rict construction, or of econo- micat no1 ministration, has he proved ne glectful? And oh, ye political ingrates of the South, to what one ot your exposed in stitutions has he Ik en found a sleeping sen tinel ;evr anxn-us to preserve 'he beautiful narmonv of our political spheres, deeply distrusting ihe boas'ed benefits of pragmat- ie:o legislation, and daring loudly to con fide in the noble instincts of the individual man j when he falls, 'Then I and you and all of us fall doWn." Others may be permitted to forget, un der the influence of temporary advantage, that justice .?.?, as a great man once" said, .'the end of tiovernment and of civil socie ty," but with us of the endangered South, it is not a question of magnanimous sacri fice or political consistency, but of plunder ed industry and outraged honor. If the taxing power df this Government be per verted into a means of wr'nzintr from the brown hands of agriculture, an indemnity for the losses of sneculatimr caDital. what property have you in the proceeds of your toil, what security in 'he guarantees of the Constitution.' hiinnrace this lata! iitlicy of paternal Government, encourage the in terference of presump'uous legislators with individual pursuits, and your political con tests are as contemptible as those of the Guilph and Ghibolive factions of antiquity : This is the Thermopylae of the Coostitu tion, and the noble Carolinian stands des ignated by his country's voiee, .and the deep devotion of ids character, the Leoni das of the unequal strife. In conclusion, I must again express my regret that I cannot fly from t!i low scenes which it has been so long my misiortu ae to witness,, of policed huckste ing, an dr.staid agrarianism s.ich as Rome's -land-erd Gracchi would h.iv scorned) into a j r and better .itmophci e, ivheie these in. wr i-ilions do not exi-t. I long to real- i - lse. wnn tne voic;i u avaienu.i udmiiius in your patriotic S;te has recently assured ih, that toe p'llsi ions of the groat Ameri can heari, re, as they once were, true to the sentiments of justice, equdity and free dom. That you at 1 ast ate determined to reist a system which would convert the inhabitants of ibis young land of liberty into pamperere I Capitalists and wretched Co'onis's. That you have not forgotten the warning w rds of JeuV rson, who in his let'e t M olison witn ai.nost piophetic -a-g:u"v fh i" expiesscs 'limsell: The ex'cut've p.uvti in our Govern- i ... r . i i.i.,. i meiit is not tin-only, p-jihaps not the pi in cirial ohje?t of my solicitude. The tyranny of the legislation is really the danger most lo be feared, and will continue lo he so lor many years t come. The tyranny of ihe Executive power will come in its turn, but at a more distant peiiod." Gentlemen, tendering to you my sincere wishes for your individual happiness, and my assuiances, that though necessarily ab sent in person, I shall be present at your festival in thought and sympathy : 1 have the honor to subscribe myself our obedient .-erv ant. W. W. PAYNE. N. B. I offrthe following sentiment: John C Calhoun and Levi Woodbury, know leuge the receipt of your f.yor of the 34lh ult. inviting me aft' r the adjournment of Congress to partake of a public dinner tendered by many eitiz-ns ol Warren and the adjoining Counties to the Hon Jno. C. Calhoun, at Shocco Sptings. North Caroli na. Entertaining the highest respect for Hip private and public character oi Mr. Calhoun, and sensible as I cannot fail to be of the personal honor of being invited to be present at a lime, ami on an occasion jwhen so large and respectable a portion of the people of Noith Carolina propose to bear its public testimony to the character and services ol an eminent citizen, noth ing I assure you, would afford me more pleasure than to be present with you. Hut, gentlemen, the end of a nine months' ses sion of Congress, drawn out, in my opin ion by the conduct and aition ol a majority utterly regardless ot the rightsjjf the outh, and fatally bent on mismief, admonishes me that it is time lor those who have pii vaie as well as public duties to perform, to be at home. 1 feel myself constrained therefore to yield to the force of circum stances which compel me, reluctantly, lo decline the invitation you have been pleas ed to tender. And for the Rm l and un merited terms in which you speak of me personally, and for the allusion to my pub lic .services, I pray you to accept the hom age of my proiound acknowledgments, and beg leave to olLr the following senti ment. V Noith Catolina The first to Hoist the Hag of independence, he will be the last to desert those great principles by which that independence was achieved. Your fellow-citizen, a. p. bag by. Washington City, August 30, 1842. Gentlemt n: I have the honor lo ac knowledge tne receipt of your Haltering in vitation to partAe of a public dinner, which many citizens of Warren and the adjoining counties propose to give lo the Hun. John C. Calhoun, at the close of ihe present session of t'ongi ess. It has been my forsu.ie to have been long associated with that distinguished citizen in the-coun- c!l s of the nation, and fey appreciate hisj talents as a statesman, or his Virtues as a man, more highly than I do. It is with regret therefore, that I find myself com npPftd hv Indisoensablti eneraffementS. to - j r 0 decline' your polite Invitation. I regret tlvs necessiiy the more, as it will not only deprive me of the p'casere of partaking of the hospitalities of the Democracy of my good old native State; but compels me to forego the gratification of griping by the hand many of the associates and friends Of my early youth. With the highest respect, I am gentlemen, your ob't servant, WILLIAM R. KING. SATURDAY, OCTOBER S, 1843. (TJWe occupy a considerable portion of our paper to-day with the proceedings at tne Democratic Festival at Shocco, in hon or of Mr. Calhoun. vVe are confident that wo could present nothing that would be more accept ible to our readers, and we ask for them an attentive perusal. Execution. Oh Friday, the 30th ult. IVtlliam lVitsan was hung at Williams ton, Martin county, for the murder of Fanny Garrett, wife of Stephen Garrett. We undertand, thrit an immense concourse of people attended, anil that he appeared indifferent to his fate. It will be recollec ted that in June last we published a state ment of th murder that the reason he as signed, for shru)ti;ig her was, that she was a witch and hul conjured him. There was a plum orchard b-tween their residen ces, and she wis stooping in the act of gathering plums, when he deliberately shot her dead instantaneously. Watson was about Go years of age, had been twice mar ried, and since I is conviction, it is said, has contested that he caused the death of both his wives. FOR THE TAUHOUO PRESS. Mr Howard: Speak i-ig of rainbows. I have sr'cn as perf-et a raiubow beneath me. (I say beneath m-, becoise I was look ing the while down up in it.) ;s I 'Ver saw above me. I siw it bt .vcon Fiedciieks burg and Ricnmond, while travelling at the rate of fi'teen mil- s per hour by steam. It was no vision, for 1 wa3 ide awake standing on the platform of the cars. The "consaro" was letting off steam at the time, which produced a considerable fog, between two lofty c mbankmen's of clay caused by excavdion. The sun shone brilliantly upon the vapor, which must have produced the lainbow in question. How will rainbow philosophers otherwise account for this phenomenon? AN ENQUIRER. ijWe are requested to communicate the fci, that a Stranger died in Chatham County, on the 12ih ult. at the residence of Aaron Heulen, E.q., who called himself sometime William Milton or Melton, and sometimes Russell. He said he was a native of Gibson County, Tennessee, hut that he had been in South Carolina some lime previous lo coming into this Slate. He had ben wandeiing about ihe neigh borhood, eight or ten days, before his deal h, seeming rather inclined to secrete himself, when inleirogated as regarded himself, he seemed indisposed to give any answer; when asked if he had been guilty of any crime, he would give no answer; but when aked if he was fearful of being caught and taken back, said he was. He said he left a father and mother in Gibson County, Tennessee. He looked tobeab ut thirty ft ve years old, and weighed about one hundred and sixty-five pounJs; his front tetth sound, hair red, beard very red and eyes grey. He had on a blue cloth coal, and a pair of brown jeans Pantaloons. Raleigh Beg. Taken up. -A very genteel looking young man, apparently about 25 years old, was taken up on Wednesday last, and committed to jail, in this place, under the vagrant act, and on suspicion of being a fugitive from jus' ice. He loilered about town here for about 3 weeks, telling uiffjrent tales concerning his own affairs, until at leng'h his host pushed hi in for his board, thinking that a man who had "11, 000 dollars, and wanted lo purchase negroes," couid certainly pay 10; but sure enough the 11,00 weie missing, and the pour gentleman's trunk had to be seized; and in overhauling it, cert ain letters were found purporting to be from his wife, his brother, a friend, and so on; also a paper showing that he had been to Baltimore, and parsed as Mr. Coleman. The letters found are directed lo J. H. C. & Chancey Cherry; and his signature is also found lo a power ofattwrncy , and signed C. Cherry, which is probably ins name. One letter, from hi wife, advises him to quit Rahdgh (from which place he came here) immediately ; that' if it were k nown was there, his brothers (who it appears were his bail for 54000) would have him arres ted, and would sooner see him hung than rviv thP monev !
