Mr. Calhoun’s Address to the South— Faure of our Arrangement It was stated yesterday, in our telegraphic intel- ligence, that the address of John ©. Calhoun to the Southern States, growing out of the recent speech | of Mr. Benton in Missouri, was published two days | ago in Charleston, South Carolina, Our readers | may remember that, a few days ago, they were promised an early publication of that important address, we having made arrangements, of @ rather complicated character, to procure it in advance of the regular order of publication, and give it forth- | with to the public We are sorry now to announce | that the arrangements, which we took so much | trouble about, have failed—not from any want of | prudence on our part, but through some gross mis- management in the Post Office departmeat, either at Washington or some place farther South. The following is a copy of a telegraphic despatch which ur agent in Charleston transmitted to us the day before yesterday :-— Cnanieston, July 17, 1849-9 P. M. ‘To James G. Berwerr. That document has travelled to Washington amd ‘back —is bere at this moment; was published this morn- ing. entire. in the Courier The blunder ix raid to have cceurred in the Augusta Post Office. What can be | done? If the Post Office department had answered the purpose for which it was instituted, we would have received this important address of Mr. Cal- houn as early as last Sunday or Monday, and have published it to the world several days ago. We sent an agent to the South, and employed another | at Charleston, for the express purpose of making | arrangements calculated to facilitate its publica- | tion here, and give us an early copy at this point. | In meking those arrangements, the Peat Office de- partment furnished us with certain facilities; and if no blunder had been made, we would have been able to fulfil our promise, instead of now deploring the failure that has taken place. Every one knows the gross blundering which characterized the Post Office department under | the late administration. A more blundering block- | head than Cave Johnson, a man of narrow mind, a public man of a more obstinate disposition never occupied any department of the government. Have we benefitted by the change under the presidency of the noble old man now at the head of the go- vernment, and whose purpose, no doubt, isto effect every reform that can be imagined? Really it would appear from recent events both in the North and South, connected with the management of the Post Office department, that under the régume of Mr. Collamer, it is worse and growing worse than it was under the management of Cave Johnson. If removals from office and the appointment of hun- gry partizans, and the cry of reform, can’t be ac- complished without throwing a department of the | government into confusion, we really think that it | would have been much better to have made no re- | movals atall, to have rewarded no partizans, and to have kept the machinery of the department in pre cisely the came condition im which it stood on the accession of the present cabinet. We have heard of numerous and gross blunders that have been made by the new employées appointed by Mr. Col- | lamer, from various quarters, and within our own | experience during the last_tew months. Although | we have not said much about them, we have had to deplore daily blunders and discrepancies in that | branch of the public service. All this must, of course, arise from the ignorance, incompetence | and want of experience in the men who are placed in charge of the various post offices. Something must be done to correct this, and, we have no | | and write of the evils of slavery, and the necessit Tue Free Sor, or Anti-Suavery, Cevenra- | no editors of newspapers should be retained in the TION IN CLEVELAND.—We give in our culumns to- | Custom House. day, some of the proceedings of the free soil cele- | We de not know how all this is or may be; but bration, which was recently held at Cleveland, in the State of Ohio, in honor of the adoption by the American Congress, of the famous resolu- tion which was passed in 1787, and from which ie dated the exclusion of slavery from all the North- western Territory, that has since grown into se- veral States of this Union. That celebration was held on the 12th instant, and it was intended as a sort of indication of the purposes, feelings, and views of that portion of the politicians, including new converts, who have been very busy in agita- ting anti-slavery impressions in all the recent movements in the free States. These proceedings, as much from their origin as their tendencies, are important and interesting. The brief letters from ex-President Van Buren and the Ion, Henry Clay, and also the racy speech pronounced by John Van Buren, indicate most truly, in connection with the tone of the press and that of publie men in this region of the country, the nature of the new erisis which is about taking place in the political movements of the North, as respects slavery and the social institutions of the South. ‘The singular spectacle of a perfect umon between Mr. Clay, the great man of a slave State, and Mr. Van Buren, the leading politician of a free State in the North—men who in, their previous lives, have acted in opposition to each other, on almost every question—will not fail to strike the attentive observer with some degree of surprise and astonishment. As we have already stated, all parties,and all public men of any standing in the free out and travelled by Garrison, Tappan, and other of its abolition, in very much the same vei, and in the same spirit in which Garrison, Tappan, and others of that ilk, have been treating it for the last twenty years. in the year 1844, and rose to nearly three hundred thousand at the last election, are now running under a full head of steam, and dragging along in their train all the remains of whiggery, locofoco- ism, and every rag of old factionism around the country. It1s only necessary to read the letters of the leading men, mark the speeches of the orators, | and calculate the poimt to which all these move- ments tend. Thus we go. Every day the momentum in- creases, and in this State the two branches of the democratic party are busy electing their delegates for the convention at Utica, on the fifteenth, for the purpose of uniting in the same general move- the gradual but certain destruction of the social in- stitutions of the South, under the general pressure of the cry of liberty and equality, the resolutions of °87, the Declaration of Independence, and the ty. Well, well—when the great locomotive and the train start, we shall all go along, and take our chance of an explosion before the termination of our journey. Tue Secretary or Stark anp Newsrarer Ownersuir.—A great fuss has been made in some Mr. prietor of the North American newspaper in Phila- delphia. this matter, but we think the real truth ia simple enough. Dr. Bird, of Philadelphia, became one- when it was united with the United States Ga- zette, formerly owned by J. R. Chandler. That gentleman sold the Gazette for $45,000. Dr. Bird but on applying to Mr. Clayton, his friend, that gentleman, with a generosity peculiarly cha- racteristic of him, advanced the funds required. ‘Those funds were first in the shape of stock of seme company in that region, amounting to $35,000, for which amount of stock Mr. Cl negotiable bend for about $32,000, and imme- diately loaned it to Dr. Bird. That gentleman sold the bond for about $28,000, and with the proceeds purchased the United States Gazette, and united it with the North American. For this loan, thus made to Dr. Bird, Mr. Clayton has a kind of secu- rity upoh one-third share of the establishment. The first year of the union the journal brought 20,000 profit, but recently it has been declining ; 4t is still, however, a valuable paper, and we doubt not Dr. Bird will be able to pay the money ad- doubt, that General Taylor, with that energy, | promptitude and pure patriotism, which we know | will actuate him, will at once apply a corrective | in the proper place, and if Mr. Collamer and the | vanced. ‘This is all the connection or preprictorship which the Secretary of State has in that, and, we believe, in any other newspaper. It is perfectly legitimate, States, are hurrying in the same direction; and that | direction is the precise road that has been marked | there must be a large amount ef discontent among nearly six thousand disappointed persons, who have been in expectation of an appointment to office. That Mr. Maxwell should commit some errors, we think possible enough. He is, like the rest of us, born in orginal sin—* all flesh is grass;” and he is liable to make mistakes and blunders, as well as any other person. Yet we believe the Collector has piety, purty, and patience enough to find out what is right, and carry it into effect, in consonance with the high purposes, upright views, and stern integrity of the President, from whom he has received his own appointment. Progress of the Cholera, IN NEW YORK CITY.

Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Clay speak | to regulate the bowels. There is a danger of bringing y | on dysentery, er diarrhos, that cannot be stopped, or | | that may terminate in cholera. Hence many persons run into the opposite extreme, and let constipation hay its own way, for fear of a worse evil, But this is an rror; for inflammation of the bowels will supervene, or bile will accumulate—bilious fever will break out, and then thero will be diarrhea in earnest. The Dowels ought to be kept open by geutle means. Mont of the faculty recommend the blue pill in small doves, at night. and Seidiita powders in the morning, week, if required. Castor oil is pill. But dosing one's self with i-bilious and other pills. is a dangerous practice. ‘We know an instance of a very respectable man, who insisted, contrary to the warning of his physician. upon taking » course of apericnt pills, by which he literally ed himself to He brought on cholera, and 0 weakened by excessive physio, that his consti- tution could not bear up against it—hedied.

In making these remarks on the present manage- ment of the Poet Office department, we mean to do the Post Master General and the Cabinet no | injustice. We wish enly to give them waraing that the conntry, in the present situation of public feeling, will not tolerate any negligence in any quarter, and that the President in the White House will concur with the country, and will act with the great body of the American people, in introducing vigor, efficiency, and attention to business, in every department of the government But we much fear that a certain portion of the eabinet, in the glory of victory, and the first pos- session of power, has become somewhat intoxi- | eated, and instead of entering on their public du- ties with the same simplicity and earnestness which characterize the noble old hero in the White House, are only busy in constructing steps for the future advencement and management ot politieal parties. We have heard of a number of move- ments in connection with Mr. Ewing, Secretary of the Interor, and Mr. Collamer, Postmaster General, that do not realize what we expected from the present administration. We give those gentlemen, and other members of the cabinet, nish the reepect and confidence due to the Seeretary, both from the country and from the President. In | this city, before Mr. Clayten made this loan to Dr. ird, a journal here, (the New York xpress) ob- tained, it is said, the loan of a large sum from the Hon. Mr. Pheonix, for the better management and bankers, end politicians have aided and assisted newspaper editors. Mr. Biddle especially was very generous in aiding editors, and Mr. Van Bu- | ren did a like business in his time ; and, in fact, few great men of any day have ever risen to an ex- traordinary high point in public life, without help- ing or ussisting newspaper editors. ‘The only class which stands on its own bottom is the independent prees, euch as The Herald and some others which might be mentioned. These receive aid and as- sistance from the country and from all parties, in the thepe of subscriptions and advertisements. Crstom Hover Marrers—Tie Arrointen anp Tue Disarvorntep.— While the 120 who have been recently appointed by the new Collector to fat places in the Custom House, are revelling im the epoile, the 56,890 disappomnted whig politicians in this city are filling every groggery and barber's shop about town with their grievances, and are | almost ready to tear their eyes out, and pull thet, | hair off, from vexation with the Collector, We have received, and receive every day, numerous complaints against the Collector, for hig want of discrimination, his narrowness of mind—the in warping in time. Neither the President, nor the | pad qualities which have just been discovered in people, nor the press (we mean the independeat prees) will tolerate any negligence, nor any as- suption of power of any kind, in members of the cabinet, such #s we have too often seen perpetrated by former administrations. Crry Exrenvireres— Waste or Punic Moxry —The smovnt of public money wastefully ex- pended by the corporation of this city has been regularly increasing from year to year. At every sitting of the Board of Aldermen er Supervisors, ‘we see projects encouraged and passed, and bills | allowed with the utmost extravagance, and wanton | wasting of the public funds A report has now been made, justifying the en- | argement of the Battery at half a million, or a | ion and a half expenditure, if it should be per- mitted to be underteken by the tax-payers and politicians. We have also observed the bill of one Hufl, presented to the Board of Supervisors, claiming €2,000 for compensation as crier of the Recorder's Court, at a time, too, when, as it is | alleged, euch an office had been abolished, and | ‘was contrary to law. } We might enumerate many other items of waste- ful extravance, and we shall make it our business to investigate this terrible waete of the public money, which has been indulged in by the corpo- pate authorities of our erty. charecter—by those who have been disappointed in obtaining office from him. Some assert that he leas brought a number of persons down trom Nyack, his old companions in duck-shooting of squirrel- hunting, and has given them places in the Castom Houee, instead of taking up the hard-working whigs. Others say that he has retained in offices some of the most bittter locofocos, and even some who were not only opposed to General Tayler, but who spoke and wrote disrespecttully about the old hero during the late eanvaes. Among those of the latter class it appears is M_ M. Noah, who comes in for mach censure among the disappointed. Mr. Noah was appointed by the late Collector to a pretty fat berth, with a very emall emount of public duty—it any duty at all. Now, it is alleged that one who 18 « locofoco politi cian, and is atthe same momentthe editor, both of Sunday paper and of a daily penny paper, ought mo, to have been retained in the Custom House by a Collector appointed to his office under the régime of Generel Taylor During the late eleetion cam- paign, one writer alleges that Mr. Noah said many disreepectful things of and against General Taylor, | as reloted to his character as a statesman and a civilian; that on several other occastons he made similar sneers in the penny paper with whieh he was eonnected, adding at the same time that ‘The total number of deaths thus far for the week is one hundred and eight, which shows a large increase.

JOHN C. CALHOUN, IN REPLY TO TRE SPEECHES OF COL, BENTON. Wasuiscton, ouly 19-8 P.M. The Charleston Courier, containing a part (seven: columns) of the address of Hoa John C. Calhoun in answer to the recent speeches of Hon. Thomas H, Ben- ten, came to band to-night, and | hasten to transmit a brief symopsis of it. by telegraph, Mr. Calhonn commences by saying that he does not: consider Col. Benton worthy of notice ; and that per- sonally he (Mr. C) has never thought it worth while to raise Col. B to the dignity of a rival, nor considered it important whether he was put down or not. But, as: Benton strikes at the Southern cause through him (Mr. C.), he feels it his duty to repel the attack, Mr, Calhoun rays the efforts of Col, Benton appear te prove him unfaithful to the cause of the South, as aiding the free soilers and abolitienists ; this the latter well understand, and they must rejoice over the Colonel's speeches, as calculated to weaken the confi- dence of the South in him, This, says Mr, Calhoun, is: not the first time that a deserter has had the assurance to denounce those who are faithful, Mr Calhoun denies being favorable to disunion, and says that he hay always favored a compromise, but that northern fanatics have always opposed aud pre- vented it. He claims merit for having voted for Clay- ton’s compromise bill, and taunts Benton with causing its rejection. He denies being the author of the Mis- sourl compromise, sayiog thatit was Clay's, and argues the difference between that aud the charge that he (Calhoun) bed, when ia Monroe's cabinet, sustained the principle that Congress had power to restrict sla- very in the territories $ In fact, Mr. Culhoun denies every assertion made by Benton ; and he charges that Benton offered a proposi- tion to abolish slavery in the half of Texas, so as to hem iis the South by surrounding her with abolitionists, He states that Haywood’s resolutions (in regard to Texas) went still further ; aud that Benton was Hay- wood’s coadjutor in advocating and securing the ex- clusion of slavery from the territory which he (Bentuny cbarged him with giving away to the Indians, and thus losing to the South. The Indians, says Mr. C., are slavehglders, and allies of the South. Mr, Haywood endeavored to deprive the South of this advantage, while Bentcn declared that he was willing to take the responsibility for adopting the resolutions of the House, as they originally passed that body in connection with the proposed annexation of Texas.

On the 29th of June, there were at Chagres the schr. | Enterprise, of Alexandria; steamer Orus, of New York, and steamer Z. Taylor, of Philadelphia. At Panama, on the 25th, there were very few emi- grants remaining, nearly all having left previously for San Francisco. Mr. Rossiter arrived at Panama in the English steamer Chile, from Valparaiso, The Chile brought seven hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars in specie to Panama, which was re- shipped on board the royal mail steamer Teviot, at Chagres, whence that vessel sailed on the 20th June, for England. By the politeness of Mr. Cleeman, one of the pas- sengers on the Alabama, the New Orleans papers were furnished with tho following intelligence :— At Valparaiso, on the 30th of May, the excitement ereated by the discovery of gold in Culiforaia continued to be very strong, and the emigration from Chili gene- rally was still very extensive. Passengers were taken from Valparaiso to San Francisco for $30, InPeru there had been a eonsiderable lull in the disposition of merchants to engage in ventures of mer- ehandise to California, caused by the reported red tion in prices of every description of goods at San Franeiseo; but th ration to California eontinuad principally, however, of the lower About the Iatter took place in the Chiliai giving place to the radicals, of May, « thorough change ministry, the conservatives Hon.
