Most of my readers run remember, that the last tat* (fact, (the hill ofahomin atieiisasit is called.) passed in the year 1828, at the period when the leeling on the Presidential election was at the highc- t. It eaOsed the gteil'est excite meat not only from the nature oflhe mea sure. hat from its supposed hearing on the Presidential question. Whin the hill was scot to the fSeiude, the general ini pression was that its fate would dej end on the easting y„t e of Mr. Call) mil . This, oi’course, ext ited great apprehension a mong the friends of General Jackson, lest il should idled his election, that one ' w lit) stood upon liis fieket as a rand da e lor the Vice Presidency should detent the lull. This apprehension was mail' known to Air. t'allmnn, netompaiiied I)-, a str< n r desire that heshoultl evade tin questit a hy relireingfrom the ehttir, and placing in it a temporary substitute, as the rules ofthe Senate authorise the Vice Prt sidenl to do.

I am averse to pivinp personal anec dotes and would not, in this instance, were it not as an act of justice to Mr. Calhoun, to put down tile base calum nies w hich has been so extensively cir culated with the basest purposes. 1 hold it impossible, with the ! bowiedpe of the (acts which I have staled, that any one, w ho is nocthe victiip ofprejadice. or the j slave of parly discipline, can believe in the motive attributed to him. 'I here must indeed have been an extrkdrdinarj ehanpe, if the man, in. ho, in 1 was: prepared to siirreniler the certain pros- | pect of elevation, rather than expose the I country to the present dangerous crisis. !
