On the second of March, we pub lished an article defending the Pre sident against an attack in tide upon him by the friends of Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Warren R. Davis a member ot Congress, and relation of the Vice President had written a letter which was published in the Southern Times, tending, to show that the President had determined to proscribe, all who XIJ Ouu vention,” because he had refused to nominate Mr. Findley as Attorney for the U. States for South Carolina, upon theground that he was a mil li fer. This letter to Mr. Calhoun’s relation lmd for the moment the in tended effect. The Editor com menting on this letter exclaims: “General Jackson mistakes the Ca rolinian character if he belie ves that acts like this will not arouse a spirit that will crush him and his Myrmi dons.” To defend the President front the imputation cast, that he considered the speculative opinions, which individuals might honestly en tertain, us a disqualification of Office, it became necessary to show the spe cial reasons that operated on hint in the case of Mr. Finday. The Pre sident has been informed that Mr. Calhoun had avowed the doctrine the Tariff laws might be annulled through the Juries of S. Carolina, and ho wa3 therefore unwilling to ap point an attorney for the U. States, to enforce the collection of the Revenue, who conctiretl in opinion with the Vice President on this subject, and who might, holding the laws to he unconstitutional, refer them to the Jjjyrmg, with a concession that they were not valid. We made this state ment while Mr. Calhoun was this m city, and mode the pledge, if he de nied it, or the Telegraph ‘‘for him,” that we “could establish the fuel by the must incontestable evidence” The individuals, members of Con gress, upon whose information wc were authorized to declare the i | grounds assumed by Mr. Calhoun.; ! upon the subject of nullification were j i then in this city, and would not liava j hesitated to have borne their testi j atony, if called on by the denial of j-Mr. Calhoun. We had their assur ances to this effect. Mr. Culliouu did not think fit to make a denial; nor did the Telegraph venture to say that it had authoiity to do it “for him.” Several weeks had elapsed, before the Editor of the Telegraph look it upon himself to put in a qua si-denial of the Statement of the Globe. He says: “Again we say, >ve have no authority to Sfrteulk on this subject, Unt w<r deny that 4}r Cal noun tn.J ever written or uttered a word favoring di-union.. We deny litis. ROT os fijs AUliWlitry, ’ ‘but on our coufideoce-ia the purity <*f bis public life and the order of his patnotitu ;* anti on his oft repented assurances ofihc ardeu* attachment to the Uni- i. As to nuliitic<uio,l|ife£ ;rk au thorized to say, because hove frequently heard him declare, that Ml. Calhoun 1 * opinions conform to those of the Republican party of ‘9B, as expressed in the Virginia Resolutions drawn by Air. Madison; the Kentucky Resolutions by Mr. Jeflrrson; and in the judicial decisions of Judge M’kean, in Pennsylvania.*’ The reader will be struck with the time when this singular plea by at torney, without authority, was put in. When wc presented the state ment to the public, Mr. Calhoun was in continual intercourse with the E ditof of the Telegraph, tindmadchis press the daily organ of presenting something in relation to himself to the nation—but be gave no contra diction to tho all-important fact stat ed in the Globe. It was the topic of universal remark in thecity—but Mr. Calhoun stood mute. —He made no response, because he knew members of Comgress were present whom be had endeavored to bring iuto bis views—that the “irrcsistable evid cities’ was at ts&ud, and would be! produced whenever a denial ou his ] part made it proper. It was left, j therefore, to the Editor of the Tele- j graph to make the contradiction by! inferences —not by authority ; basing ; it “Upon confidence in the purity bj j his (Air. Calhoun's) public life and the ardor of his patriotism.” This conjectural contradiction wus made by tite Editor of the Telegraph in the absence of Mr. Calhoun, so that it .could by no possibility be considered ! as having ins approbation—it was made immediately after the Editor Oi the Globe had left the city to be absent {several weeks, so that it might not be followed by any immediate re murk front him.—Anti it was made in the abseuce ol'ull the individuals from whom All. Calhoun and the E ditor knew that the proof must he derived, Vve shall act in a plain and direct way in regard to this matter. We will leave nothing equivocal, as to the course which we have pursued or ! which we feci bound to observe in re- i ill. .... In defence of thy President’s con duct with regard to the SL Carolina appointment, vve assigned the reason upon which he acted. This involv- j etl the course recommended by Mr. i Calhoun to defeat the revenue laws of the U. States, aud as a conse quence, a charge against him for hav ing proposed to nullify these laws. We pledged ourselves to establish it by “incontestible proof,” if denied by Mr. Calhoun or the Telegraph “for him. — We were apprized that no gentleman would volunteer evidence in a ease of this sort, unless it were called for by a denial from Mr. Cal houn himself, or by a person author ized to do it “for him “ And wenow have to say to the E ditor of the Telegraph, that vve are not at liberty to use the proof in our possession, unless a denial be made by Mr. Calhoun himself, or by some one authorized to do it in his name. “Whenever this is done, we pledge ourselves to prove that Mr. Calhoun did directly and vehemently urge the principle of nullification, in a con versation with several gentlemen, as a means of defeating the operation of the Tariff law. That on another occasion he in sisted that any c::e Slate might suc cessfully resist the operation of the i ariff law , if attempted to be enfore'ed by suit. That he proposed, as a mode of ej fictuating this successfully, that invr-l chants should refuse to pay their cus- \ Uot house bonds, and if the U. States ’ gjgftught suit on them, they could plead j the general issue, which would bring j the quvsli&ttobeforc a Jury, and that no Jury cuold be obtained in S. Ca I rolina, which would find a verdict for That pending the discussion of Foote's resolution, he urged a member of the Senate to commit hit,: sc If in fit vor of the nullifying doctrines broach ed in that debate, insisting upon the necessity oj unanimity among the tifou -1 them members upon this point, and We repeat that wc shall not holt! ourselves under obligation to give the proof of thes4 statements unless they are denied by Mr. Calhoun him self, in a letter addressed to us per sonally, in some publication author ized in bis own name. The indivi duals who will sustain thuen, stand on the same level with himself, and cannot decent! to an altercation with an Editor, who contradicts without authority and upon his own mere presumption. We will not hesitate to give Mr Calhoun the names of the persons ttfion whose information we predicate our statement, if ho re quires it as preliminary. From the Boston Statesman. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES. A PARAPHRASE. Recent events, nmnisfesting a vvidedivision among the party which has hitherto supported Henry Clay, are too important not to awaken ge neral attention. They are entitled to serious reflection by the friends of j the administration, ami by the peo j pie. From the moment oft he origi j nul “ combination ” against the Fresi dent, wnich was organized at the j Clay dinner at Washington, inline-, j diately after his election, it was fore seen that the materials composing it, united for a time by a common feeling of revenge for disappointed ambition, and of contempt for popu lar sovereignty, would necessarily l fly asunder whenever it should come to be decided who should expect the posts of power. Nothing but the subtile chemistry of these common objects, it was perceived, could hold in iiuion such repulsive materials as the nullityers oi the South, tue Tar itf men of the East, and the unti-nm *ons ot the West. Such a jumble of politicians could have no natural cohesion. If J)r. Cooper and Sir. Webster, could long act in harmony; ii Mr. Clay, the grand master, anti Mr. Granger, the auli-mdson, could ting ravishing ducts to tite tune of j “iicie vve go round, go round;” if the Li.'!heat “ilitn” n> 1 ...-t-. -- J u masonry, amt the lowest bass ot tar- iff und Morganism, could he made to chime in a feline consort, then in | deed, 100 lime might be expected to J have arrived, when water woqld run up hill, anti lire and powder mix harmlessly together. As to the iiou. Mr. Webster, his political sentiments are well known to take their hue from his political expectations. The thermometer of his anti-tariff zeal rose and fell with tite variations of popular opinion in Boston. By a gentle and kindly at traction he mingles with the free trade party whenever it has the.as cendency, and Is again disengaged by that poivenui solvent, a diminution of its numbers. Against the tariff, and for the lurifl; a friend ot Adams aud an enemy of Adams; for Cai rn ua m 1823, Adams in 1824, Clay in 1325,Adams iu iS2C,CIay in 1828, Cainoun in 18bd, atm for himself in lo 31; at one time, vaunting his fed eralism, at auuther, considering the charge of federalism libellous: one year against the South, and solicit ing the West, the next repelling the West—pay mg lus “devoirs” to the South; denouncing, at one session, the advocates ot state rights and at the next, soothed into submissive si lence, when the question is thrust upon him, with Torse/s dangling from its apex: and on these momentous subjects vibrating, like Balie Jarvie, betvvcu:- heaven and earth! The foresight vvhich anticipated the rupture of a party, of which this gentleman was one ol‘ the most con spicuous of its incongruous materials, was not deceived. Fulfilment has chafed the heels of prediction. Be fore the second your of the illustri ous Jackson’s administration had closed, a gulph. like that between the rich man und Lazarus, separates the mass of these political “free com- panions”—these followers of “war, pestilence, und famine.” The in fluence-of their idol, founded upon their hatred to republican instituti ons, their eagerness for revenge, ar.d their rapacity for plunder, is no lon ger powerful enough to repress their j contentions. They not only quarrel jin his face, hut having pulled him Shorn his imaginary elevation, like Vultures, they prey upoa his corso. [New Series—No. 44. We bear no more enthusiastic en comiums of the paJriotisnjjtnlcma and fascinations of Henry xflavA— Achilles is slain—Ajax and Ulyscrr arc contending for bis armor. Wo have heard much of Mr.Clay’s independence, of his determined spirit, of his boundless popularity! Wo now see the verification and manifestation of these qualities.—. We behold him evidently sinking Ha t he first stages of a political decline* His voice no longer cries in the wil derness, nor is he now found ed in persecuting the people’s admin istration from city unto city. Whis key steams, and stirlions smoke in vain. Chagrin preys upon him iq his retirement. He is so indepen dent that he dares not even curse tho kind political friends who are dig ging his grave; so determined, that he yields himself a willing victim to their machinations; so popular, that of his utter downfall “there is not a, loop to hang a doubt upon.” Our purpose in these is to suggest that those who liavd supported Jackson’s administration* and Who still support it, ha’ C no con cern in these disputes of the enemy* except so far as they may affect tho the public interests. So far as dis sention may be likely to weaken thd union of a faction which has hitherto proceeded in a course dangerous to the great interests of the country, the ‘ effect will be unqucstioiiabfy good. Still better will it be, if tlies* disputes, growing out of motive* merely peisonal and ambitious shall open the eyes of their deluded fol lowers to the real character of theu* leaders. In all their publie acts, m all their mining and countermining, there is not the smullcst reference to the prosperity of the country, or tha happiness of the people. All public principle is abandoned and the puflL lie good forgotten; in their eageVi struggle for power. In the storm of our republican institutions, one desr pernte leader burls another from tliO and pestilence,’’ is their battle cry, und tlic stimulus to combat, is tho hope of plunder. They look to suc cess to reward them with a general proscription of the republicans, tha sacrifice of the Indians—the bribed of tlic United States Bank—war oij commerce—war on state rights —th© annihilation ofthcConstitution. Tor gratify them with a grund consolida ted empire, wherein the few shall make u prey of the many, where tiJ ties of rank shall distinguish the gen tlemen from tho simplcrnen, and ex orbitant wealth shall reduce the peo ple to a miserable vassalage, and make them, in very deed, “hewers of wood and drawers of water.” And what a spectacle docs this contest exhibit? Who does not sed in what an aspect of disgrace it holds up the monarchical party of the coun try ? What republican does not feel his indignation roused, that tlicsd factionists should have stolen tha name of his party to prosecute sucl* infamous designs ? “National Be'- publicans!” National, because they aim to destroy the Constitution; an<{ republicans, bocause they scorn and deride the intelligence and patriot ism of the people 1 There remains for the friends of tho Constitution, administered by Jackson in its true spirit, to arrest the progress of this wicket! faction and preserve tire country from the ruin of its measures.
