I perceive that the respected and patiiotlc edi tor 0 f ih,. Evening Post of lids city, lias thought I it proper to explain, in his paper of to-day, the j feeling which dictated the optimise of Col Uor ieu’s esclaniatioii, “We are no mini’s men," | in rising too; pose the ado; thin of die resolution ; otic red at the late Stale Rights Convention, hy ; a delegate fiom Union, (Mr. W. A. Thompson,) ; approving the course of Mr. Calhoun, and the senators who voted with him, against thei.omi nation of Mr. Van Ruuek—as alluded lo in a late letter of mine, published in the Chronicle, i ft would seem that ho supposes the readers of j that letter might mistake the opposition to the . motion, for opi odium to Mr. Calhoun, and dis- j up; -ohalion of the course pursue.] hy him ami ( file senators who voted with him, or that >ve (tad made such a mistake. Il so, lie is himsult j mistaken, at least in the latter tupi-osilic.n, and j we think in l!io Ihnner one id o. i had not the , slightest idea, that the opposition to the motion j arose from the least opposition to Mr. Calhoun or Ids coutso, or that the tailor could possibly hue been inferred from my remarks, or I cer tainly should have been more expliinatoiy my self; and that full justice may he clone lo the opinions of the editor, and lo Mr. Calhoun, al so, it may ho propci to annex lo this, the le marks of llio former. I have no doubt that the whole Convention highly approved of the con due! of Mr. Calhoun, and the Senators who voted with him, in relation to the rejection of Mr. Van Ruhen, and consequently of the opin ions on the. subject conlained in the resolution ol Mr, Thompson ; hut did not consider lho expres sion of such opinions suited to the occasion— and neither did 1; and therefore 1 felt the lull lo co ami huaulv, the dignity anil propriety, of iho rejection of the resolution—and parlicula.ly of tlio manner in which it vvasdonu. Tile oppo nents oftlie State Rights and Free Trade I’aily of South Carolina, have accused them, again and again, both at homo and ahioaJ, with being the meie personal or party iidlioients ol Mr. Cal holm, and with getting up the excitement in Carolina, und advocating the doctrine of nuiiili cation, solely to advance his pretensions to the Fl'esidency, an t sustain him as a nultilier. Ne ver was there n more unjust or ungenerous accu sation. That a vety huge portion of them high ly resj oct him as a | utdic man, and all of them as a mitlilier, and a most disinterested and fear less advocate of their much abused doctrines, cannot he doubled—and how could they possibly j do otherwise ?—hut io say that limy took to him 1 iu any other light, or are disposed to move a hairs breadth out of their way to advance him lo olliee, indicates either a blind ignorance of the rm.ii and the history of the party, or a disposition wi fully to misrepresent them. The State Rights and Free Trade Parly is altogether a new one—not the old Calhoun party, long op; used to the Smith parly, hut ono comprising a largo poition of both llvaso parties, ar,d numbering among its most distinguished and active mem bers, many of the old parliz ms of Judge Smith, utid decided opponents of Mr. Calhoun, It is pledged to piiuciplesalone, and not lo mot; and never yet Inis any party shewn itself more re -1 gardless of men. What man do limy advocate, whether a Calhoun man, or any other, who does not agree with them on tint great constitutional and republican principles they advocate ! And what man do they oppose whether a Smith man. Jackson man, or Van Huron man, who mis tains those principles? So fat from being irore j partisans of Mr. Calhoun, or linked together hy personal rega;d for him, they have repeatedly refuse* io lake any part whatever in the pen ding Piesidential election, and in all matters re lating to that election, they have entirely neg lected him, and stood aloof, even too coldly and indifferently it seems to us. considering that he is a true Carolinian, and closely allied lo them in principle, when lie has been wantonly and unjustly assailed. Perhaps this was a just, llio' j severe, sac idee of personal feeling iij on the al i tar of piinoiple, and due to the character of their j cause; hut tons it has sometime? appeared rath ; or as a too squeamish regard for appearances, j : ltd the iiiisiopresentalions of op; orients. A ! man's conscience and principle, and not the pos ! sihlo doubts, suspicions or misropiosculations i that may follow, should always he his guide— : remembering always ti'at misrcpiescalation, I suspicion, and misconsti notion, arc pnit of llio j elements of that “fiery ordeal,” in which all viilue, I uhlic or private, must ho “tried' and purified—that vvilhout trial, vi.iuo is merely ne gative, and hy no means to he ttiisled or applaud ed—and that, no matter what may he the con sequences, “dm good man will always make the cause oflhe injured his own.” And what pub ! lie man lias been more injured, more wantonly | and wickedly, than Mr. Calhoun? We have ru j poatediy beer, charged, in Georgia, with advo j eating the docliinos of nullification, merely be cause Mr. Calhoun is a nulldier, as tho’ whatever may ho tiie inferiority of our mind and judgment, we may nut have e.;ual independence of mind, nnd pride ol self-judgment, as him or any one else. As well might lie he said to ho a nullifiei | because Mr. Jefferson was one, or Mr. Madison, | or any one else, who adopted the creed before him, rather than that lie judged fairly for himself, and adopted it, as they did, sinq ly because lie honestly believed il to be the true Republican doctrine, and tho only one which, in great emor. gencics, can save the country, its liberties, and its Union. In Mr. Jefferson’s lime, it was call ed Republicanism, nnd gloriously triumphed ns such; hut now, Republicanism is a mere name, a political catch-word, a denomination for anv thing that lie who uses it chooses to assume.— After its great triumph over Federalism aai; John Adams, every ore be~um-' J?c; i'. ,- ''cac,q ;(i For military stored, two thousand d< name, bccnuia tlie naroo was popular; and ■low even the Federalists, as a party, have nntr.- ed themselves Republicans—National Re; übU. cans!—Hiirl tlie name having lest its distinctive j character, those who once held it, now call i themselves nullifiovs, in reference to onoofiia > tenets, lately brought particularly into the noli.-jj I of the people. No mrfn can ho a more ardent and sincere ad- J mirer of Mr. Calhoun than ourselves, and no *| one has dofended him more cheerfully and zou lou-ly against the unjust assaults of his enemies— I or more disinterestedly. Personally we do m,t ] know him. and never exchanged a word with - him in any shape. As a mau, merely, we earn not a jot for him more than any other; hut iH an honest, fearless, and upright public man one who his always “dared to be honest in tho | wo-st of time*” —a groat man, a j ure patriot and devoted lover of liberty, his count,y, nn j her institutions, wc cannot but love mid admin} him; and for all this, we should oipially love and j admire any one else. Wo were Inst tuu»ht to I examine and know him, by tho unjust j erst; u i tions of his enemies—then to defend him as we I ; have always been proud to do any mm unj.tiiiy ■ assailed; and then, fiom contimtul cxaitilnatlnn ; of his public life, to respect, esteem, ami a.lnmu him. We felt toward liim thus, long before thij ! doctrines of nullification were agilatcd in j present contest for State Rights and Fr ee Trade ! and openly advocated the doctrines of s.uiirtica i lion before Ire did, and before wo know that Ira approved them. Mow, then, could wo bavu j adopted them because he did, or have advocat | cd ihcm merely to advance his [ oolical vievvsl j We certainly could not like him lire loss, beeimsu ■ he agreed with us on the subject, or particularly 1 for avowing his opinions in so fcarlcs, disiuto: estcii, and noble a manner, to tiro manifest in jury of his own individual piosjccis. Put whatever may bo onr respect and regard fur him, we are not prepared to yield to lii.-u, or any man living, one jot or tittle of our housst opinions; and such wo believe to bo lire cmso with the party in Carolina, who assembled by their delegates at tho late Convention. Tiro subject matter of the Resolution in ipiestion, therein tdi’orod, wo cordially approved; and so, we believe did they, even to 11 man; but, as sailed, us they had been, as the mere partl'/rm adherents of .Mr. CaJlroun, it was altogether un- , soiled to the occasion—and they rejected it— i not because they liked Mr. Calhoun less, bn! ■ because they loved their principles more; and | were determined to bo true to them, in the n - fusal to receive any tiring not immediately con nected with tiro cause which had called theta logorhcr. Wo hud cause to feel with them in i the movement, and were proud In witness sn ; disinterested and noble a vindication of their cause and its principles.
