DAILY PROGRESS. WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 11, -I860. Dousliit in con J'l C'aroliim. We copy from th Washington Stales and Vn im the letter which follows. It is rather a re. inarkable production, but still has some sound sense in it. We believe that Douglas may be trusted by the South, and that if elected Presi dent he would administer the affairs of govern ment for the weal of the whole country ; and it the choice is to be between him and an Aboli tionist, we are for Douglas. We think he will go through at Charleston because he is the most available man that can be put forward by the Convention, and if j the democrats and whigs would unite and nominate Douglas for President and somo Bound, national statesman of tne wmg party for Vice President, the ticket would sweep the country ; but if they both insist on a seperate ticket and bring them out, then we say calmly and after mature deliberation, the Chicago ticket will, in our opinion, comf in ahead ; and If so we are doomed for.fonr years to Black Republican rule, for that the South will suomit to such rule has already been clearly demonstrated. But'Te lula " speaks for Stephen, and she mast be h2ard ' A LADY TO THE RESCUE. : To Ike Editor of the States and Union : I was much surprised in your issue of this eve ning to find that one of your correspodents doubts whether South Carolina will vote for Mr.! Doug las, if he should be nominated at ! the Charleston Convention. I . . Now I am a South Carolina lady, and I inti mately iknow the calibre of mind that reigns su preme there; consequently, I am satisfied that the thinking men in my State know as well as you do that Mr. Douglas is the only man now before the public who can succeed against the Blacker Brown Republicans. I have made hu man nature my absorbing study, and believe there is no friendship in the heart of man (not woman) so adhesive and sincere as that genera ted by its being their interest to entertain this friendship inviolate. Now Judge Douglas' first wife was a Carolinian, who owned a hundred negroes, and that Black or Brown Repul lican Northern man, fanatic, or Englishman has never been born since the fall of our primitive parents in the Garden of Eden, who would not fling his quixotic Abolition sentimentality to the four, winds of Heaven the moment he married a South ern heiress who was encumbered with a planta tion of a thousand acres and a hundred sleek, happy African heathen, to plant, have and har vest; in his magnificent rice and cotton temporal ities, making his income princely in its affluence. No heart in these United States throbs with more earnest fealty than mine to that Constitution that the wisdom of our virtuous far-seeing fathers eliminated, with a prayer to God for direction, and then concentrating all their experience, and genius, and wisdom, to the work of producing an instrument of government that for nearly a hun dred years has made our Republic the green spot of.this wilderness world-of tyranny; and op pression, i I repeat, with all the romantic love I feel for mycountry, particularly the Southern part of it, I am perfectly satisfied to trust Judge Douglas to administer this government : he will do justice to the North, Jbecause he is a Northern man by residence and birth; he will do justice to the South, because his wife, by whom he got all the wealth he started out in lite with, was an enthu siastic Carolinian His availability is much enhanced, too, by his now possessing a magnifi cently beautiful young wife, born in the District of Columbia (the omnium gatherum of the world) and always moving in the most fashionable so ciety, amiable and liberally educated. If she could only be induced to vnit. Cnarleston, during the meeting of that Convention, I will vouch for itthattho.se lordly sons of the cavaliers of Old England (who settled South Carolina, and never bowed to any earthly power, except that exer cised by the beauty of woman.) will kneel chiv alrously to her imcomparable charms, and elect her husband by acclamation. Very respectfully, I subscribe myself a constant and edified reader of your morally independent sunnort of the South and tho Gnnstitntinn in vnnr able daily newspaper. Telula. April 4, lbO'J. Dur correspondent is nmtnken in stating that Senator Douglas derived a portion of his wealth by his first marriage. The whole property of his first wife was reseved exclusively for the benefit of her self and children. Senator Douglas has not touched one dollar resulting from this property ; he id simply the trustee for his children!' to whom" it now belongs A "Scene" in the House. . On Thursday last the House of Representatives went into Committee of the Whole, Washburn, Black Republican, from Maine, in the chair, when Lovejoy, of Illinois, having tho floor, made one of the most contemptible, vulgar and libelous at tacks upon the people of the South that Southern members have ever been compelled to listen to. Not only was his language libelous and insult ing, but his manner and bearing towards South- juciuueis uiio ueuvenng mmseii ot tus pent up wrath against the South, was extremely offen-1 sive and intolerable. At one time it was thought there must be a general collision, ( and we must confess that we are not. disposed to compliment Southern mem bers for their forbearance;) the chair cried order but there was no order; the Sergeant-at-Arms was called but the group which had formed in front of the Speaker's stand told him he had no business there, and he sneaked away. There was no order, no decorum, no anything ; the caul dron boiled till it run over, when a "great calm'' ensued, and, without a single black eye or bloody nose, the House became quiet. But that black guard. Lovejoy, deserves a good thrashing for his beastly attacks upon Southern society and we do trust that some Southern member will give it to him before the session closes. The Charleston Convention. The follow ing is the most absurd rumor yet relative to the approaching Convention at Charleston : The Douglasites of Indiana are making arrang ments to camp out at Charleston, for which pur pose monster tent, capable of accommodating five hundred persons, is being constructed. The committee hope to be able to reduce the cost of the round trip to $50. How are rents for unim proved swamp property in that region likely to rate I - : ; - .- Helper is getting np a new book, to ; be issued in May, and intended for a Republican catnpiugTi document. Sound Doctrine. While the general tone of the New ; York Ex press is conservative and national, it takes fre quent occasions to rebuke Black Republican fa naticism, and on all occasion evinces a disposi tion to dea) justly by the South. See what it says about the late " Scene " in the House : Hon: Republicanism Keeps a Stirring up Hatred, Strife and Bad Blood bettceen North and South 41 Slavery " to be Served the Same. Way as Poly gamy Shameful Scene in the House of Repre sentatives. The utter impossibility of carrying on this gov ernment if Republicanism is to have its vyay -had a new and most disgraceful demonstration in the House of Representatives yesterday Pon der that record, ye who doubt the necessity ot a Constitutional Union party, to stand up, as a breakwater, between the sections, who are at dagger's points clinching teeth, and shaking fists at each other on the door of the Capitol ! As soon as the Bill for the Suppression of Poly gamy had passed, one of the Republican members from Illinois Mr. Lovejoy said, in substance, now, that the death blow had been given to poly gamy, it was the duty of the Republican party to extirpate that other twin relic of barbarism," slavery, as far as it had the power. " He wanted to see them both strangled and go down together." The effect of this language was just such as might be expected. Stung to the quick with the offensive manner and matter of the Illinois Re publican, the Southern members gave free vent, at times,. to a very, natural resentment. Bad blood was stirred up, all around, the worst pas sions were excited, and, at one time, it would seem that nothing but' a miracle prevented a mor-f tal combati The " scene " has its historical pa rallel only In the Jacobin Clubs of the old French Revolution. A more fanatical tirade was certain ly never delivered on the floor of an American Congress;! while the gross personalities of which it was the provocation, were a disgrace, not only to civilization, but to common decency. We say again, all attempt to carry on a Govern ment with such combustible material, as this Re: publicanism is cerjtainly providing, must end in failure , and the catastrophe, if that "ism" is to go ahead with Kuch leaders as Lovejoy, may not be as far away as some of us would fain think. We have spoken of Mr. Lovejoy as a fanatic,", but he is not more of a fanatic than most of the other Republican leaders are. It was but the other day that sixty of them voted in favor of Con gress giving " freedom to every human being," as far as it! had the-power," and now that there is " power over Polygamy, Mr. Lovejoy is anx ious to see it exercised for the suppression of slavery."' j Hence, if he is fanatical, or anything else, it cannot be questioned that he is sound on Republicanism. Another Auction Sale of Coffee in Wil mington. , j Messrs. j Hathaway & Co.;-Wilmington, have received from the West Indies and from New Orleans a large lot of Sugar and Syrup which will be sold at auction by D. Pigott, Auctioneer, from the wharf in Wilmington, on Tuesday next, 17th April. .. ;T V- Our enterprising friends in Wilmington de serve much; credit for their efforts to furnish the home trade with these articles and we are glad to see they are enlarging this branch of their busi ness. While North Carolina ports and North Carolina jmerchants can furnish sugar, coffee, syrup and molasses by direct importations our people will not be justified in seeking their supplies elsewhere. CHARLESTON HOSPITALITY. We publish the following extract from a pri vate letter to a friend in this city, says the Pe tersburg Express, written by a gentleman resi ding in Charleston, of high character and stand ing, relative to the accommodation to be afforded to visitors to that city ' during the. approaching Convention. Although the letter was not writ ten with any idea that it would be published, we giaaiy copy it in oraer to correct tne erroneous. impressions which have been industriously crea ted to the prejudice of the good people of Charles ton : " I see there is a great ' cow-vow ' about the probabilities of the Convention being either starved or skinned'm Charleston. Now, this is all nonsense. We can feed and comfortably lodge all that will come and benave themselves decent ly. That a great many of the outsiders will de serve both skinning and starving I have not the slightest' doubt ; and it would be well for the de liberations of the Convetion if they would be kept away. I nave no douot arrangements have al ready been made for the accommodation of all the delegates, for the private houses have been tendered with unstinted liberality. I feel assured that Charleston will fully sustain her ancient re putatfon for opened-hearted hospitality.' For Douglas. Hon. W. H. Dimmick, one of the four; democratic members of Congress from Pennsylvania, has written a' letter favoring the nomination ot uougias at Charleston. Hon Wm Bigler, another democratic member from Pa has also declared in favor of Douglas. Mr. Dimmick's letter appears in the States and Union of tho 6th instant, and closes thus : Every person concedes that Mr. Douglas has a personal and peculiar strength amoner men who have not been acting recently with us ;' while at the same time, his long and consistent Democra tic services 'would ensure the warm and energetic uppon oi our wnoie party. ins recognized great anility, his bold and manly bearing, his de fiance of the combined assaults of jealous foes, his consistency amid trial and persecution, have won for: him a place in the popular heart which cannot le eradicated. His nomination would pro bably be equivalent to an 'election ; the nomina tion of any other would, to say the least, leave tne contest exceedingly problematical. Hence. favor the nomination of Mr. Douglas, ,and iuflu enced by the same course of reasoning:, many o my colleagues from the Southern States are ioin ing in the movement which promises to carry him triumphantly over the bitter hostility of men who prefer the defeat of the Democratic party, to the success oi a rival. lvn iKtLL s oruiNus. inese Springs bid fair, from the remarkably curative virtues of the waters anu irom ineir easiness ot access, to become very soon one of the most popular places of summer resort in the Southern countrv.

Baron Mackulay, says the London Post, now ies close at the foot of Westmacott's statue of Ad dison, whom he once so haipply described as the unsullied statesman, the accomplished scholar, tha master of English eloquence, the consum mate painter of life and manners, and the great sa tirist who alone knaw how to use ridicule with out abusing it; who, without inflicting a wound, effected a great social reform ; and who reconcil ed wit and virtue, after a long and disastrous sep aration,during which wit had been led astray by profligacy, and virtue by fanaticism." The remains ot Addison, however, are at some dis tance from the spot on which the monument starfds they are in the chapel of Henry VII ; and it was noi until inree generations bad laughed and wept over his pages that any tablet was raised to his memory in the Abbey. Macaulay said of the statue which now keeps watch over the newly closed grave : "It represents Addison as we can conceive him, clad in his dressing gown, and freed from his wig, stepping from the parlor at Chelsea into his trim little garden, with the account of the Everlasting Club, or the foves of Hilpa and Shalum, just fin ished for the next day's Spectator, in his hand. Thickly strewn near the grave of Macaulay are the relics ot men whose names are still held in reverence, and whose works adorn the literature of our country. As a poet, not less than a brilliant essayist, Macaulay has earned a place among the grea: men oi tne past and present, and in death the author of the Lays of Ancient Rome, and the ballad on the Spanish Armada, will face Thomas Campbell, who won a poet's fame by, the Pleas ures of Hope. A few feet from the grave of the ennobled poet of the nineteenth century, stands the fine old piece of gothic sculpture which marks the resting-place of Chaucer father of English poetry. Just opposite the tomb of Chaucer,, "the day starre of English poetry, is the monument of 4 Fame Spenser," the sunrise of our poetry, who died as Ben Jonson tells, "for lack of bread, re fusing the twenty pieces sent him by my Lord of Essex, as he was sorry he had no time to spend them." Fairly obliterated by the hand of Time, the tomb of Spenser bears the inscription, ' Here ies the body ot JLdniund bpenser, the prince of poets in his time, whose divine spirit needs no other witness than the works which ho has left behind him." Beaumont, the dramatist, sleeps here too, but no memorial or inscription marks his resting place : it is, however, immediately be hind Chaucer's tomb. A marble, much defaced, erected by the Countess of Dorset, bears in very illegible characters an inscription written by Ben Johnson for the tomb of Crayton. Still nearer Macaulay's grave there is the small pave ment stone with the inscription, "O rare Ben Johnson, ' which Aubrey tells us was done at the charge of Jack Young, who walking there when he grave was covering, gave the fellow eigh teen pence to cut it. At the recent relaying of pavement of the Abbey, the original stone was removed and destroyed. A few feetdistaut is the monument of Cowley, raised by Georere, Duke of Buckingham. A monument raised by Sheffield. Duke of Buckingham, marks the grave of Dryden, " glorious John, who was iollowed to his resting place by mourners in twenty mourning-coaches, each drawn by six horses, and at whose requiem an ode of Horace was sung, with an accompani ment oi trumpets and hautboys. lhe only titled poet that sleeps in this part of the Abbey is the Earl of Roscommon, the famous master of the horse to the Duehesi of York at the Restoration. Another companion of Macaulay is Nicholas Rowe. There are also Matthew Prior and John Gay, and he whose tomb bore the in scription in imitation of that of Johnson, " O rare Sir William Davenant; and Samuel Johnson, Da vid Gamck, and Richard Bnnsley Sheridan, and Camden, the father of English history ; May, the historian ot the long Parliament; Gilford, the ed itor of the Tory Quarterly Review ;Dr. Parr, and numerous others ' At the opposite, or north end of the transept, there towers above other memo- roble graves the stately monument of Chatham, ot whom Macaulay wrote, and the words are now not less applicable to himself: "Among the emi nent men whose bones lie near him, scarcely one has left a more stainless, and none a more splen did name. Reminiscences of the Marriage of Henry Clay, The delivery of the statue of Henry Clay, in New Orleans, and its proposed inauguration next Thursday, the 12th inst.,is exciting a proper degree ot interest botn in ana outside ot that citv. Ken tucky is to be formally represented at the inaugural Ceremonies. A representative has already. been des ignated in the person ot Mark Hardin. Esq., who was selected last week by a public meeting held at Jii i n t T i I . i fciieioyvine. now smguiaiiy appropriate tins ap pointment as will appear by the following paragraph from an exchange : " An interesting incident occurred a few days ago at Louisville, Kentucky. It was the meeting of the only two persons now living who were present at the marriage of Henry Clay. The parties were Mark Hardin, of Shelby ville, a noble relict of the old time generation ot Kentuokians, and the venerable Mrs Price, the mother-in-law of Judge Thos. A. Marshall, of the Court of Appeals of that State. At the time oF the marriage, Mr. Hardin was a clerk for Col. Hart, of Lexington, whose daughter Mr. Clav mar ried, and Mrs. Price wa3 one of the inost admired belles of the State. Col. Hart was a merchant, and a rich one for that early time, full ot the whole-hearted hospitality which characterized the pioneers of the West, and proud of the brilliant promises of his new son-in-law. The wedding, theretore; was a sumptuous. afiair ; in vitations were sent to every family of respectability within the settled portions of the State, and the mansion of the bride's father was thronged with guests from the gayest youth to ihe gravest age. Ihe visitors varied m costume as mucli as in years Honest, tan-bark dyed homespun was there Washing beside the gaudy European tnbberies ot laced coats ruffles and small swords. Tne venerable couple I have named had not Seen each other tor a lonjr period, until their late meet ing. They recalled the incidents of the wedding and revived memories of friends and companions among the large company there gathered together some of whom had died in riches and honors, others in disgrace or destitution all were gone! Sixty years had swept all but themselves from their places among the living. Singular Elopement A young man, a na tive of Northampton county, Jsorth Carolina known by the cognomen of Stump Pierce, emigra ted to South Carolina some years ago, and mar ried a widow lady of some wealth, with one child and since the marriage has bad one by him. He came back to Northampton about the first of last January, nearly penniless. He rented a house and endeavored to commence some farming ope rations. A Mrs. Fly the, formely the widow of the late Dickenson Futrell, married a young man, George Fly the, who about two years ago, left for the South the first of the present year, with the intention of making a crop and preparing a place, and promised to come after his family next fall. Last week Pierce enduced Mrs Flythe to sell the only negro she had, and tbey then eloped to gether to parts unknown leaving his wife and two children behind. Albemarle Southron. Accomodations at Charleston We think it more than probable that arrangements have been made at Charleston for the accommodation of the delegates from this State. Mr. Ashe, one of the State delegates, has been kindly acting for the delegation in this matter. The terms offered by the Charleston Hotel are as reasonable as could be expected under the circumstances. We expect soon to announce that the arrangement has been completed. Standard: THE VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES. It is finally announced by the Queen, that she has consented to her son's visit to Canada, and she commends him to the jegards of her loyal subjects. But the Times, in an article on the sub ject, recommends the young gentleman to extend his travels to the United States. It says " It would be a matter of regret if the Prince of Wales, satisfied; with the homage of the Cana dians, should neglect to visit the republic which now plays so great a part in the world. We do not, of course, anticipate in jany case that the Prince would return to Euglahd. without having set foot on the United States territory ; but there are different ways of visiting a country, and as none repays attentive observation more than the Ameaican republic, so none is j likely to be so ill understood by a mere flying tourist. America is not a country of museums and: palaces, to be done in so many days with a Murray's Handbook. Its interest consists in its people; in the phases of civilization through which they are passing, in the political and commercial activity which they display, in their energy and restlessness, their greatness and their weaknesses. "Although we cannot expect that a youth in his nineteenth year should be lable to appreciate the American Commonwealth; yet we feel sure that a journey through the United States, and some association with the people, would, not be lost lobor. Of a kind and courteous reception the son pf Queen Victoria may be very sure. The interest of Americans in the descendants of the former rule of jtheir country is second only to that of Englishman themselves, and, whatever may have been formely -the . case, the feeling is now one of good-will and sympathy. The Prince of Wales might find both instruction aid recrea tion in a visit to the Atlantic cities, whether it be New York in all its ambitious and spannew splendor, or its more quiet rivals. There is much to be learnt from'a few weeks of such travel more than a royal personage may ever afterwards have an opportanity of learning. One who is called to such high-destinies, and who will have such opportunities of directing the taste of his countrymen, may ad vantageouslva study the pro gress in the arts of life by a people thrown, as if it were but yesterday, on the shore of a new con tinent, a progress not less wounderful than their commercial prosperity. If 'the Prince of Wales should further visit the President of the United States at Washington, the courtesy will, we feel sure, be appreciated, and tend to draw closer the bonds which unite the two countries. All whieh is very true; but tile Times has omit ted the extraordinary number of silly toad-eaters hat the young Pnnco will be likely to encounter on this side of the atlantic, both in Canada and the Union. , 1 Missouri and its Governor. The action of Gov Stewart, of Missouri, vetoing the railroad appropriation bill, meets with the disapprobation ot many persons besides the railroad men. Both riousos ot the legislature adjourned on 63th, sine die, but the Covernor refuses to recognize their right to adjourn, as there was not a quorum pres ent, issued a proclamation commanding them to meet again on Monday next, which is. treated with perfect contempt by most of the members, nearly all of whom have returned to their homes M A ja X j-: EWS.
