[From The Cllobe, of Feb. 23d.]
MR. CALKOVN AND TIIR TELEGRAPH.
The U. S. Telegraph, of Monday,
contains a continuation of Mr. Cal
houn’s attack ori the President, iu
the shape of an editorial article pur
porting to be a reply to the strictures
upon the Correspondence contained
in the Globe.
That the Telegraph should think
it is the universe! opinion here, that
Mr. Calhoun’s address is “truimph
ant,” is to be accounted for only on
tlie supposition, that the associates of
its Editor are different from ours.
In our intercourse with those around !
us, fve have not met with a man of
the republican party, who docs not
look upon the publication as wholly
unnecessary, and adopted, if not in
tended, to produce unqualified inis-
chief. Further: wo have met with
ardent and long deceived friends of
Mr. Calhoun, who have been induc
ed by this publication, so different in
its disclosures from all they had un
derstood of his course in relation t
the Seminole war and subsequent c
terits to abandon him forever.
The Telegraph insists that Mr.
Calhoun’s publication is not an at
tuck on tho President, but a vindica
tion of himself. “ Art thou in health,
my brotherV’ said Joab to Amasa, as
he smote him “in the fifth rib.”
Such is tho Telegraph’s friendship
for General Jackson.
But let us examine this mutter.
! rtnn Jo an. Gulhoun vindi
j eating himself?—Against the charge
of Udlicity. By whom made? By
j the President. How can he vindicate
i himself but by saying und shewing,
that the President has made a false
charge? How enn he do that, with
out impeaching the veracity of the
President?. Hehusdoneit. In his
letter to the President, of Ist June,
1830, he says:
,4 I feel myself impelled to notice some of your
remarks, lest my silence should be construed in
to acquiescence in Ihcir truth or justness tT
Is not this us much as to say, they
are Jatse and unjustl Again, in the
same letter he says:
•To conclusion, I must remark, that I bad sup
posed that the want of sincerity 6nd frankness
vYcuitl be the last charge that would be brought
against me.—Coming from a quarter from which
l bad reason to expect far different treatment,
and destitute, as 1 know it to be, of the slightest
foundation, it would not fail to excite feelings too
warm to be expressed, with a due regard to the
official relation Which I bear to you.”
Here ho charges the President
with the making a false charge with
out the “ slightest foundation!” He
would even say some very angry
thing to the Old Soldier, but for the
offices they hold 11
In his letter to the President of
25th August, he says :
“After l had so fully demonstrated the candor
and sincerity with which I have acted throughout
this affair, I did ..t suppose that you would rei*
tei ate your Cot mer charges ; but having done so,
it only remains lor me to repeal, in tlie most po
sitive manner, the contradiction u
Here be charges tho President
with reiterated falsehood ! But a
gain, in the same letter, speaking of
this correspondence he says:
’ Forced into it to repel unjust and bast impu
tations upon my character, 1 could not retire in
honor while they coutiuucd to be reiterated.*
Here he is wrought up to say, the
charges made by the President are
uujust and base !
Mr. Calhoun was so determined
I to level all his artillery at the Presi
| t!e:it only, that he refused to permit
the interposition of any body else.
In a letter to Mr. Forsyth, dated
Ist June he refuses even to accept
proftred information from him, be
cause his controversy was with the
President.
The President told him, tjiat hav
’ ihg been satisfied of bis doublc-deul
; ing by bis own admission, ho lcli
“him, Mr. Crawford, and all con
cerned, to settle the affair iq their
own way.” In bis reply, dated 25th
■ August Mr. C ulhoun says r
[New Series—No. 4L
J “I too well know what is due to my lights /uutf
1 sclfrfcspect, in this unpleasant affair, lo permit,
myself to be diverted into an altercation with Mr.
Crawford or any oilier individual whom you may
choose loconsidtr as concerned in this affair.”
Although Mr. Calhoun thus char
ges the President with falsehood, in
justice, with reiterating “ unjust and
base imputations,” und all “ without
the slightest foundation,” and alter
refusing to recognize nny other per
son as “concerned in the affair,” the
Telegraph now tells us he has not
made any attack upon General Jack
son !! 1
Mr. Calhoun’s “vindication” is
“triumphant,” the Telegraph says.
Over what or whom? The cluirg*
Was “duplicity,” and Gen. Jackson
the accuser. Tho “vindication” is
“triumphant,” says the Telegraph.
If it be, the charge has been proved
to he false. Is that what the Tele
graph means to sny? Does it say,
that Mr. Calhoun has convicted
the President of falsehood, injustice,
and baseness? All this must be, if
the vindication be “triumphant.”
Such a “Jriend” of Gen. Jackson as
the editor of the Telegraph, may ad
mit this, hut we must lie excused for
believing that the President has told
the truth.
And how do these “triumphant’’
gentlemen escape from the charge of
making a direct attack on the Presi
dent? Oddly enough. • MrrCallioiin
says he lias been guilty of falsehood,
injustice, and bnse imputations; but
that he had been deceived, MISLED,’
ami DUPED into all this bv certain
“ plotters and contrivers who
are using him for their own person
al advantage! Look at these very
friendly inuendoes and assertions.
In his letter to Gen. Jackson, of"39th
May, hesay^:
“1 shbuM be blind not to see, that this whol©
affair was apolitical Mavazurre, in which the do
sign is; that you should be the instrument, and
myself the victim, but in which the real actor's
are carefully concealed by an artful movement 19
In his letter of the first of June, to
General Jackson, he says:
“I have no dpnbt, that there are those who, ae*
tuated by enmity to tm\ and nur Iriendshin to
yoju, uhw, tn the tnusi artful manner, for year*
intimated that S had been secretit
to injure you, however absurd the idea ; but j
must express my surprise that you should have
permitted s base as they are false,
to operate on you, when every word and act gave
to thenrtbo lie direct.”
In his letter to Gen. Jackson, of
22d June, he says:
*T must r'*mark in conclusion, that the letter of
Mr. Forsyth affords to my mind conclusive proof,
that the intimations to thy prejudice, to which you
refer in your letter 30th ultimo, and which you
seem to think made no impression upon your
mma, have not been without their intended effect.”
In his letter of the 2oth August,
to Gen. Jackson, he says :
“It [the reference to Mr. Crawford for-infoi*
mationj affords to my Mind, conclusive proof that
you had permitted your feelings to be alienated by
the artful movements of those who hare made you
the victim of their intrigue long before tho com#
mencement of this correspondence;”
In his Address to the People, Mr
Calhoun says:—
“The origin [of the movement ngainet bir.i}
goes far back, beyond the dale of the present
correspondence, and had for its object, not th®
advantage of Gen. Jackson r but mjr political deS
struction, with motives which i leave you to in
terpret. ”
The Telegraph of the 17th inst.,
following up the lead of Mr. Calhoun,
says;—
“Fn proportion to this regret must be the ind/g*
rtation against ail who have becu the plotters a/ui
> movers, in reviving this almost forgotten subject*,
and exciting a controversy which could be of no
possible advantage to the country, nor any one
except the contrivers themselves.” “We say plot*
lers and contrivers&lc.
And in the Telegraph of Monday,
we arc assigned to the humble post
of the organ of these •'plotters and
contrivers ” in the following langu
age:—
‘•Viewed as tlie organ of those with whom this
intrigue originated, it* course [the Globe s] is ex
plained iu that light, its attacks upon Mr. Calhoun
are seen to bo but a continuation of the plot here
tofore prosecuted iu the dark, now bursting into
public view.”
Now, in what light do Mr. Cal
houn and the Editor ofthe Telegraph
present the President to the world ?
As guilty of reiterated falsehood, in
justice, and baseimputatio'ns; but
excusable, beafuse he is the DUPE of
certain nameless ‘ plotters and eon 1 ri
vers !’ Could they possbily place
him in a more unci.vied ultiiude A
Could they make an attack mere fa
tal, if sustained, ora charge more
degrading? By whom is this charger
made? By his friends —aye. “his
earliest and best friends,” as the Te
legraph calls thorn, who eau insidi,
• knock down, and degrade; and can
| then soy, “my good sir, 1 meant vea
11 no harm —l made no attack.”
