had felt but little in compartson. I obeerved, with
great simplicity, " Ton in the South and South
west are deoidedly.the aristocratic portion of this
Union. You are so in holding persons in per-
patuity in Slavery; you are so In ovary domestic
quality; so in every habit of your lives; living,
and actions; so in habits, customs, intercourse,
and manners; you neither work wilt your hands,
'heed, nor any machinery, but live and have your
living, not in aaeordanee with the will of your
Creator, but by the sweat of Slavery, and yet you
assume all the attributes, professions, and advan
tages of Democracy." -
Mr. Calhoun replied, "1 soe you speak through
the head of a young statesman, and from the heart
:of a patriot; but you lose sight of the politiolan
and the sectional policy of the people. I admit
your conclusions in respect to us Southrons—that
we are essentially aristooratio. I cannot deny but
we can and do yield mnoh to Democracy ; this is
our sectional policy. We are from neoessity. thrown
Upon and solemnly wedded to that party, however
it may , occasionally clash with our feelings, for the
conservation of cur interests. It is through our
affiliation with that party in the Middle and West
ern States we control, under the Constitution; the
governing of the United States; but when we cease
.thus to control this nation through a disjointed De
mocracy, or any material obstaole in that party
which shall tend to throw us out of that rule and
control, we shall then resort to the Dissolution of
the Union. The compromises In the Constitution,
under tho then olrounsetanoos, wore euffloient fir
our Fathers, but, under the altered condition of our
country from that period, leave to the South no re
source but Dissolution; for no amendments to the
Constitution could be reached through a Conven;
tion of the People and their three-fourths rule."
I laughed incredulonely, and said, " Well, Mr.
Calhoun, ere enoh can take pima, you and I will
have been so long non at that we can now laugh
at its possibility, and leave it with compbeenoy
to our childrenie children, who will then have the
watch oriDeiik. " , '
Alas! my dear sir, how entirely were the views
of that " young-headod statesman" circumscribed
by the patriot feelings of his heart. What be
then thought an impossibility for human hands to
effect, for ages on ages to come, he now sees veil
tad to the latter as predicted by that far-cooing
statesman, John C. Calhoun. Even this noble
Republic is diszuptedits Constitution rent into
shreds and tatters by party follies and the wicked
ness of its people's selfishness. Had they but
inherited a moiety of the virtues of their fathers,
who bled and impoverished themselves through a
long and bloody war to establish the independence
and liberty, welfare and happiness of their pos
terity, for all time to come ; had they worshipped
the true and living God Instead of WI " almighty
dellar," they would not now have beheld the
millions of patriots arming for the strife against
Traitors to their Country—to the Constitution and
to the Laws--onoe more to baptize in blood, for
Liberty's sake, the blessings which national
liberty acoords under our Union. 'Had a prophet
arisen 1114512 and predicted as John C. Calhoun
did, nothing short of Divine in- piration could
bais given credence to his foreshadowings. Alai!
I have lived to see its accomplishment. He boa
gone to the tomb of his fathers, the pride of his
section, honored for his talents and for his efforts
in council, while your humble servant still lingers
on the brinc, under the national anathema of
dogratiatioa—as a reward for many years of faith
ful service—whioh degradation was accorded him
simultaneously with his reaching the head of the
service to which' his whole life has been devoted.
You will see, my dear air, i have no disposition
to " bury my light under a bushel," but will ever
be ready to accord justice where justice is due.
Thus in death we show , the ruling passion stronger
than in life, and as it is with individuals, so it le
with nations, the blackest spot found in the heart
is ingratitude.
Accept my assurances of regard and respect,
Cass, STIWART.

In connection with the above, it is to be
noticed that Mr. Calho'nn , s saying, so far
back as 1812, that the South would go out of
the. Union whenever she lost the control of
the Government, shows that the Secessionists
of 1861 are only carrying out the plans
torroed nearly half a century ago.
In 1882 • Nnllifination, of which Mr. Cal.
houn was child and champion, meant that
any. State . of. the Union - might go (int, of. the
Union whetkevor' it likes and this is what .
Secession means now. • Mr. Parton, in his
4 ‘ Life of Andrew Jackson," (one of the best
contributions of modem. talent te the history
of the United. States,) says,.-V01..111., page
447, that, ic in'his 'last illness, General Jack
aim declared that, in reflecting upon his Ad
ministration,-he chiefly regretted that he had
not had John C. Calhoun executed for trea
son: ,C My country,' -said:the General, would
have sustained me in the act, and, his fate
would have been a warning to . - :traitors in all
time; ;to .come." Mr. Parton also-,tolls us,
(Vol. 111,. page 474,) that, in January, 1833,
"The President was resolved, and avowed his
resolve, that the hour which brought the news
of one.act of violence on the part-of the nulli
fiers, should find Mr. Calhoun a prisoner of.
State upon a charge of high treason. Andnot
Calhoun only, but every member of Congress
from South Carolina who had taken part in
the proceedings which had caused the conflict
between South Carolina and the General Go
vernment."
Respecting Rr. paittoures frp,nk admission

tifying fact, froin good authority. Ito, large

there, originally was considerable sympathy

We are - permitted to copy the• tellowing
Masterly letteraddressed to the Sdcrotarsr of
War by the Hon. A. H. REEDZIL, of this
State. It is worthy of remark that strongly
and nervously to Governor Ranoza writes,
and pointedly as he puts the case to the Secre—
tary-2f War, he does not go beyond public
opinion in the free States. A month ago the
counsel -he gives in this ;letter • would hays
created much alarm, and considerable indig
nation among those who will now receive it
with enthusiasm. In the same spirit that he
presses upon the Administration the most
Prompt and' energetic measures in order cf
fectindly to dispose of treason and rebellion;
he pays a proper• tribute to the policy of the
Administration, and discriminates with states
manlike sagacity between that spirit which is
dissatisfied because it cannot learn all that
has been done or is doing by our public ser
vants, and that other spirit which takes a com
prehensive view of the whole field, and gives
credit to the President and his counsellors for
their stupendous preparations for the vindica
tion of the national honor they have 'made in
less than 'three weeks' time: We commend
this fine production to our raiders as emi

Major Anderson's Prontocion.
(For The Prose.] •
Major Anderson has no doubt already re
ceived the reward most grateful to his noble
"spirit, in the approbation and blessings of his
countryman. But thoro are military reward',
'alio, which are properly due, and should be be
stowed upon so heroic an officer as he has proved
himself. These rewards are brevets. The army
is full of officers who have been brevetted once,
twine, and even three times, for meritorious
services" In Mexico and Florida. If . I mis
take not, Colonel May received three brevets
during the Mexican war—one for Palo Alto,
another for Renee de la Palms, (the day after,)
and a third in one of the battles near the city of
Mexico. lie was a captain at the commencement
. of the war—he came out of it a colonel by brevet.
Now, will any one pretend that the services per
formed by any of the above officers ("meritorious"
though they really were) can be compared with
those of Major Anderson at Fort Sumpter ?
The President can give him two brevets which he
has so richly earned, and the country will applaud
the act.
One, brevet he deserves for the judgment which
dictated and the skill which executed the transfer
Of his command from Fort kiouttrie to Fort Sump
ter. The other be still more-clearly deserves for
his defonoe of Fort /Sumpter—an aohievenient
without a parallel in our history, and to which the
present safety of Weehington is owing.
be let lee haye the pimiento of greeting the gal
lant officer as Colonel Anderson; arm if, after
that, any general's commission should be vaoated,
let us hope that Colonel Anderson may . be seleoted
to 1111 it.
The bravo °lnoue who were with Major Ander
eon in Fort Sumpter ehould oho be remembered
and brevetted. JUSTICE.

STATE LINE, FRANKLIN COUNTY, PA., •
• May 1,1861.
I cannot refrain from dropping you a few lines
of congratulation for the decided stand yon have
taken In the defence of our Government, of truth
and justice, and the continual - opposition to re
bellion and secession, which strikes at the very
foundation of our Government as well as all repub
lican QS - Vermont& - •
In the darkest hour you stood fen, when
nothing was to be anticipated but Otter ruin; and
now, when Maryland is taking a stand again for
the , Union, as her only safety, and. the Baden
people of the good Old Dominion once more are at
tempting to speak the words of true patriots, hope
revives .again in the , hearts of all -Union-lasing
Americans, more especially when we .see., the
thousands of freemen flying - to the rescue. .
In all Western Maryland, and a portion of the
people on both .sides of this dividing line, not
longer than a week. , ago every, man would stare
hie fellow in the faoe, to restd,st possible', in him a
rebel or a patriot. But there" is now a feeling of
confidence; • and now there is to .be seen the Awe
dean flag flying all over the country. The people
of this place, both of Pennsylvania and Maryland,
put up an American flag on Mason A.Dizon'a line,
showing to the world that they know no dividing
line--no North, no South, but are one people, one
nation, having one and the same Interests, living
under one General Government. And there is
but little doubt when the people see that Mt Lin
coln's policy is not a warfare on the . constitutional
rights or domestic institutions of the Southern
people, but in defence of the Government en
trusted to his care, for thi defence of Southern
as well no Northern rights, and to put down re
hellion, punish traitors, and restore freedom and
penes to this once glorious and bappy.eountry of
freemen, then they will not look on in quiet, but
will rise up in arms to assist in' the noble cause of
defending our Government, and the liberties which
our forefathers fought for and:won, for all Arne.

HMI:MT OP BIS MISSION TO VIIMINIA-PITILTIKIIR
MISIGNO or TIM MIMS.
Hon. A. H. Stephena reaohod Atlanta, Georgia,
On bie return from Virginia, on the 30th ult. He
was received by a large crowd, to whom he made
a speech, of which we find the following report in
the Confederacy of tb.9 2 24 ;
MT Pannow-orrizaxe : I think the oeuniry may
be considered safe, since your interest in its wel•
fees has broughtyou out at this hour of the nialt.
I have jast returned from a mission to old Vir
ginia It will be gratifying to you r know
' to
mate that she Is not only out of the Union, but she
es a member of the Southern Confederacy, and
has sent Delegates to our Congress, non axsem
bled. North Carolina will here her Delegates with
'us, also, in a few days Her Legislature meets to
morrow, and I doubt not she will be out of the
Union before Saturday night. The Ares which
first kindled the old Meoklenburgh Declaration of
indOPODCIOIMO are again burning throughout all
her dominions. From all that we have learned In
the last few days, Tennessee will non put herself
on the side of the South, and be a new star in our
shining galaxy. The firma is oleo good from Ken
tucky, though I have nhthing official from there.
A few of her public. won . aro trying_ to put the
brakes down on her people ; 'but they seem nitwil
ling to submit any longer. Froin ffiiesotiii the
news is moat cheering, and Arkansas will soon be
With ue.
But 'the best of all is, that Maryland—gallant
little Maryland—right under the guns of Linooln, • •
and the throats of Blair to make it a free. State, if
the blood of the last white man has to be shed in
accomplishing it—has resolved, to a =an to stand
by the South. She will be arrayed against Abo-
'Wonder'', and cling to the South; and it she beano
delegates with us now, she is in open defiatioe of
Lincoln and his Government, and willeoon be with
es, even by revolution . The cause of Baltimore is
the cause of us all, from the Atlantic, to the Rio
Grande. Her hands must be held up, and triumph
Must be:aasuredlo her.
_ran may probably, have seen it stated that over
tures Of peace had been blade by Lord Lyon's, and,
Iplat gaps; by other pwr flee,' I tell yea it is not
and is only intended-to deceive you. /t Is alto said ,
that the Lincoln Government has done so This
may be true ; but if it is, it is sit for treaebery; as
they gave traitorous assurances to our oomatieslon
ars at .Washington. For weeks they were kept
there under the must positive assurances of a pacific
policy and intentions towards as—all with the he
lmet motives that can actuate a treacherous heart,.
If peace propositions are made by theta now, I
conjure you not to trust them fora single moment
—they only intend to deceive and betray—te lull
your energies and suspicions, till they secure some
cowardly advantage.
Oar enemies say that they only went to protect
the public property; and yet I have it front
nn
questioned authoritythat they hare mined all the
public buildings in Washington—the Capitol, and
I all the other Departments—tor the purpose of do.
straying them. They have called out 70.000 mea,
they say to protect the public•property now in their
possession, and to'retaae and protect that which
they have been forced to give up ; yet, wherever
they are now, they have prepared to destroy the.
property, and have destroyed, or attempted to de
etroy, all that we have compelled them to relin
quish, because of their intentions to use It for the
purpose of subjugating us. dumpier wee mined,
to be blown up on leaving it. Much of , the pro
perty was burned up at Harper's Ferry, in hastily
vacating that place ; and an attempt was made
to burn up not only all the public property, on
leaving Gosport navy yard, but the whole city of
Norfolk. This is one of the mast remarkable in.
stances on record where Providence was on our
side. Plans were laid to here up the navy yard
and the whole city. The incendiary fires were
lighted, and, if their intentions had succeeded,
such a conflagration as bas never been wit
nessed du this coatineat, and would have been
second only to the burning of Moscow; but;
jest at the critical moment. before the ravages had
extended, the wind turned! The winds of Heaven
turned, and stayed the spread of the devouring
element. The same wind .that kind Heaven sent
to keep off the fleet at Charleston till fumpter was
reduced, came to the relief of Norfolk at the criti
cal moment. Providence was signally on our side.
They attempted to blow up, the dock—the moat
expensive one on the continent—but Mere was a
break in the train they had laid, and it failed.
They attempted to burn down the old Pennsgltni
nue, Germantown, and the Merrimac. They set
the match while they endeavored to get out of the
way of their intended destruction tral the vessels
sunk before the fire caught—another remarkable
instance of the interposition ot _Providence on our
behalf, and the strongest eyidence of our reotitude.
We were right at first, are right now, and shall
keep ourselves right to the end.
What is to take place before the end, I know not.
A. threatening war is upon ns, made by those who
have no regard for right! We fight for our homes,
our fathers and mothers, our wives, brothers,
sisters, sons and "daughters, and'neighbare ! :rimy
for MORAY ! The hirelings and mercenaries of the
North are all hand-to hand 'egainat you.
As I told you when I addressed.yea a - few days
ago, Isizzooln may bring his seventy-five thousand
soldiers against us but seven times Seventylve
thousand men can never conquer us. We have
now Marylsed and Virginia, and all the Border
States withal,: We have ten millions of people
with us, heart and hand, to defend us to the death.
TVs can call out a million of people, tinged be;
and when they are cat down,the can GP /1 ova an
other, and ad/another, until the last man of the
South finds a bloody grave, rather than submit to
their foul dictation. Bat a, triumphant victory
and independence, with an unparalleled career of
glory, proaperity, and progress, awaits us in the
future. God is on our ride, mid lam Ault be
against . ue? None bet his Omnipotent hand eau
defeat us in this struggle. ,
A general opinion prevails tha t Washington
city is soon to be attacked. On this subject I can
only say;otir object is pew. We wish no aggres
sions: on any ebia,righla, allsi will make noes.
But_if Illaryiand deeedeh the Dlstilet - or
bla will 'fall 10 bee by: reversionary right—the
same as bumpier to- benth Carolina, Pelkiki to
Georgia, and Pickens to Ainbcatia. When 're have
the right we will demand the stirretidar Waah
ingten, jest as we did in the other issued, and will
enforce our demands at every hazard, and at what
ever oust. And here let me say, that our peliey
and conduct from the first has been right, and
!ball be to the last. I glory in this coma:doneness
of oar reotitudo.
It rosy be that " whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad." But for Lincoln's wicked
and foolish war proclamation, the Border States--
some of them at least—would still have lingered, in
the hope that the Administration and its designs
were not ao basely trocteheroue as that document
has shown them to be. Tennessee and other States
would have lingered for some dale.' Now, all the
slave States are casting in their lot with us, and
linking their destinies with burs. We mightafford
to thank Linooln a little for showing hie hand; -It
may be that soon the Confederate flag, with flf•
teen stars, will be hoisted upon the dome of the
ancient Capitol. If so, God's will be done is. iny
prayer. Lot us do nothing that is wrong. Let us
summit our cause into lile hand, perform our
whole duty, and trust in Him for the crowning re
unite.
have many things I would like to say to say to
you, but my strength will net admit, even if it
were necessary for your encouragement—but' it is
not. I find that you are fully up to the music,
that you thoroughly comprehend our condition, and
are-resolved to do your whole duty. I find our
people everywhere are ahve to their interests and
their duty in this crisis. Such a degree of popular
enthusiasm was never before seen in this country.
I find my fellow-citizens all along, the railroad

His speech was rapturously applauded -through
out ; and, as he retired, three cheers for Stephens
were given with a will.
In a few momenta, iniresponse to earnest solici
tations, he again came on the ,plattorin, and' said :

that the Virginia troops had occupied Arlington

these statements are laoarroat•

in the Capitol, who are defacing its walls, and

Vandal hordes. The new Senate clamber has

of the public buildings and works of art at the
Capitol, and , their preparations to destroy them,
are strong evidencer, to my mind, that they do not
intend to hold or defend the plum, but to abandon
it, after having despoiled and laid it in ruins. Let
them del troy it—savage like—if they will. We
will rebuild it'. We will makethe itruotttree more
