"Great saving* in the War Department
CotoMBia Tsisscors.
Since the Secretary of War yielded to
the earnest solicitations of a caucus, com
posed of a small hut select number .of his
fviends, in the Legislature of South Caroli.
na, to be considered as a Candidate for the
Next Presidency, he has made more noise
than all the other presidential candidates
together. This he has been enabled to do,
chiefly by the officers of our standing army,
who have also obtained his consent to he
considered as thfc.lt candidate. An efficient
corps ot newspaper editors has been re
cruited, organized, and equipped, far the
service of ihe War Department, and well
drilled and disciplined under a proper head,
established at the sent of Government.
Tnese editors have sounded his praises
throughout tho Union, with undaunted
courag" and unremitting exertion. II we
are to believe one half they say in faVor ol
their youthful candidate, his talents, greatly
transcend the limits we have heretofore as-
ebribed to the human intellect. Compared
with him, even Washington and Jefferson
must be considered as secondary characters.
He is represented as a Star “in our po
litical firmament, whose rising effulgence
has attracted the eyes ol the American
People,”—.“exciting new hopes and antici
pations.”
That this young gentleman has sudden
ly become a star of the first magnitude, i-
partly explained by the editors of the Frank
lin Gazette, who very gravely inf >rm their
readers, that Calhoun burst upon the world
Of course, this luminary has not shed hi
light upon us by degrees, like the rising
sun, but has struck us with all his meridian
splendors at once, and thusbe dazzled and
conf-vuftried no small portion of our young
er politicians.
This is a new and bold experiment on
the part of the Secretary, and if it shall
4 >rove successful, we shall have young gen
lemen bursting updo us from all quarters
Our Presidents thus far, have gradually
fisCn to their elevated stations, by a long
series offaithful and important services per
formed for their country; apd it is not be
lieved, that the confidence ol the people can
be suddenly gained, by any splendid inno
vations upon the course hitherto pursued
and consecrated by the patriots who have
presided over the councils of the nation.
The lofty pretensions of the army candi
date, have aa yet, received but little notice,
from those who think he has no claim to
the high character he assumes, because
they have never believed that he could pos
sibly succeed, in his ambitious views. They
have neter believed that a whole host ol
editors; could write a gentleman of Mr.
Calhoun's age and merits, into the Presi
dency,even with the aid of all the officers of
the standing arihy. There are circumstan
ces, however, which render it important to
examine, with some attention, his assumed
superiority of character and intellect, and
hi, pretended merits on the score of ser
Tice.
Although it has been evident for several
months past, to the blindest of his flatterers,
and even to himself, the most blind of all,
that he can have no prospect of receiving
more than the vote of his own state; yet his
agents, civil and military, are pressing their
.operations with as much industry and zeal,
as if be was seriously to be held up as a
Candidate to the last. The objects ol these
apparently desperate measures, are not
misunderstood.—One, perhaps the nearest
to the Secretary’s heart, is to crush what
remains of the old democratic party, in
Congress, under the pretence of extirpating
radicalism. Another is to gain as large a
' stock of popularity as possible, to be pass
ed over, for a valuable consideration, to the
northern candidate for the Presidency. As
to the first, much has already been done
under the late system of amalgamating par
ties As to the other, it remains yet to be
seen, how far the popularity thus to be cre
ated, may be of a negociable or transferra-f
ble nature.
When Mr. Calhoitn received the appoint
merit of Secretary of War, after it had been
offered to Governor Shelby, Mr. Lowndes,
and Mr. Clay, and refused by them all, It
dll not occur to him, that he could by any
possible proces? ripen himself into.a presi
dential candidate before he should reach the
age of forty; although he had fully made up
fiis mind, to rule over this people in due
season. His immediate aim was to pro
vide a suitable successor to Mr. Monroe,
Who might hold on a few years, until his
own character and pretensions should be
come more fully matured.
Some Presidents have been accused
selecting their successors; but this Presi
dent, that is to be, is endeavoring to select
his predecessor; and thus make provision,
that the good people of this country, shall
not be in want of presidents or presidential
candidates, for at least sixteen or eighteen
years to come.
It will be recollected that in 1818, Mr
Calhoun and bis immediate friends, wdre
very solicitous to select a northern candi-
date for the presidency. They openly de
clared that the people ol the north had a
fair claim to this high office* that the gen-
“tle uen of the south were on this occasion
every part
sons of libe
djTv _ _, .. , , .... .
Although no President had ever been
elected from a state south of Virginia, which
in fact, is now one of the middle states; vet
all the Presidents Irom this state have been
charged to the south, as much so as if they
had been elected from the Carolinas or from
Georgia.' Mr. Calhoun saw clearly, that if
the next president should be elected from
the Sodth, the claims of the North and
West eight years hence, would be such; os
not to be resisted; and ot course that his
turn to be elected, would not probably ar
rive under sixteen or eighteen years, for
which he had not patience to wait. And
hence arose his great liberality towards the
gentlemen of the North.
In two or three years after he was placed
at the head of the War Department, his ex
treme indulgence to the officers of the ar
my was such, as to gain their entire copfid
ence. They rewarded him with unbound
ed applause, and conferred on him the en
dearing title of Father of the Army. This
gave new energy to his ambition. He be
gan to conclude, that although nothing
could be more opposite in their , natures,
than the Father of the Army, and the Fath
er of the Country, he could reconcile con
tradictions, and become the latter without
ceasing to be the formei*. Forthwith, he
resolved to be the immediate successor of
Mr Monroe. His liberality towards the
gentlemen of the north began to subside.
It appeared to him very clearly that the
claims of the South, were not at this time
to he overlooked; Mississippi, Alabama,
and Louisiana, were to be taken into the
account. The Southern states, properly
speaking, had never given a President to
" e the Union, although they had been always
willing to do so. While this was the case,
it seemed preposterous to select a President,
from the north and not only from the same
state but from the same family, that
had already given us one. A cold
ness took place belwqpr. Mr. Calhoun
md Mr, Adams, followed by jealousy and
rivalship. Mr. Calhoun had calculated
upon receiving the votes ot Pennsylvania,
because his father was born there as he al
edges; which most flattering citeumstance,
'.ad intoxicated some of the sober citizens
>f that great state. But the caucus at Har
risburg last spring put a stop to his dreams
oi immediate power; and then his liberality
inwards the gentlemen of the north, began
again to rise. Confidence between these
rivals was restored; and it is said a coalition
lias been formed between them, mutually,
beneficial, and satisfactory to the panics
and their immediate frieoda. On the other
hand, however, it is alleged, that Mr. Cal
houn denies this coalition, aud that speak
ing of the several candidates he declared
positively, that each man sailed his own
ship; which, probably gave rise to this
vastly pretty paragraph respecting him,
which lately appeared in the Franklin Ga
zette,—“Like a gallant vessel on a troubled
ocean, he proudly stems the opposing cur
rent; and with calm and steady dignity,
glides towards the destined harbour, his
course only accellerated by the agitation of
the element on which he moves.” Not
withstanding all this- it is believed that Mr,
Calhoun does not sail upon his own bottom
but that he expects to be towed into harbor
by the Adams.
What is Mr. Calhoun, or what has he
done, that entitles him to the unbounded
praises bestowed upon him by the officers
of the army and Ilia corps of Editors ?
Mr. Calhoun was a distinguished orator
in the House of Representatives, for five
or-six years. But among those who were
in'the House with him, there were several
of his superiors. Mr., Lowndes ®td Mr
Cheevw from his own state were decidedly
so, as were also, Mr. Clay, Mr. Pinckney,
Mr. Stockton and Mr. Webster; Mr. Grun
dy, Mr. Oakley, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Gros
vernor, and Mr. Gaston, were generally
considered as his equals. To be ranked
however, with these gentlemen, implies a
high degree of excellency in the art of ora
tory, which Mr. Calhoun certainly posses
ses. He has also the merit of having joined
a very large majority in both houses of
Congress, in asserting the honor of our
country, and in supporting the administra
tion in all the measures necessary for bring-
ing the late war to a fortunate conclusion.
Thus far we are bound to applaud his
character and conduct; and had lie remain
ed in Congress, his appropriate theatre, it
is probable he would have continued to
render important services to his country,
which as Secretary of War it is believed,
he never has done
Mr. Calhoun- was distinguished as an
orator, but never as a writer. In his com
munications to congress, although some of
them are much laboured, there is no ap
proach to elegance or even neatness of
tyle. He frequently aims at brevity, but
in this, he crouds without condensing his
materials; for which reason his sentences
are sometimes obscure and perplexed. It
is indeed remarkable, that a gentleman of
hi3 acknowledged talen's, and classical edu
cation, should not, in his long and continued
practice of writing, have acquired a better
style.
As to his ideas of busines«, they are alto
gether too magnificent for the affairs of his
country, during the present age. His atm
has been to surround him°elf with subordi
nate heads of departments, who are to per
form the duties formerly appertaining to his
office, by which he h to escape the respon
sibility, and the care and labour ol the de
tails of business. In fact to assimilate his
department to many important establish
ments in Great Britain, where the Head
enjoys the emoluments and. patronage of
office, while the duties and responsibilities
rest upon subordinate agents.
Of his expanded views of business as well
as economy, we may farm a tolerable esti
mate, by examining his plan of reducing
ihe army from ten to six thousand men,
made, in obedience to a resolution of the
House of Representatives of the ilthof
May, 1820., In this he proposes to retain a
general staff, sufficient in many respects,
‘2 Major Gftterals;

It is truly surprising that a Republican
Secretary should, submit such a plan to a
Republican Congress. It smacks of the
army as strongly as if General Brown him
self, had drawn it up. The friends of the
Secretary shrink from the exhibition. Had
such a plan been proposed by a Secretary
of war, in the time of Mr. Adams, wliat a
route would have been made about it, by the
radicals of that day, then called democrats
and disorganizers l Alt the terrors of the
sedition law could not have kept them qui
et.
This, however, was nearly the General's
staff in 1818, for an army ol ten thousand
men, with which the Secretary then ap
peared to be satisfied. On the 11 th of De
cember in that year, he made a report, in
obedience to a resolution of the House of
Representatives, asking information, whettt
er any reduction could be made in the peace
establishment of the United States, with
safety to the public service, and whether a
ny alteration ought to be made in the ration
established by law Sec. In this report he
says, “it is believed that the organization ol
the War Department, as well as the Gene
ral’s staff of the Army, is not susceptible of
much improvemetfl.” “Every department
of the Army, charged with disbursements,
has now a proper head, who under the laws
and regulations, is responsible for its ad*
ministiation. The head of the department
is thus free from detail, and has leisure to
inspect and control the whole of the dis
bursements.”
The head of the department thus freed
from, detail, has also leisure to attend to
the business -if the Cabinet—consider trea
ties—regulate appointments and a variety
of other matters, for which his talents are
more particularly suited, than for the labo
borious detail of the proper business of the
War Department.
As a further support of the Department,
the Major General is now stationed at the
seat of government, where the services
for tong continued, and patfant tovesiiga-
tiori; no one can be a man of business; and
Mr. Calhoun although a brilliant' orator,
was not considered in congress, as a man of
business, in the proper sense of the word,
an orator and a man of business in congress,
are frequently very distinct things. It is
easily shewn that Mr. Calhoun took an ac
tive and decided part in most of the impor
tant subjects debated in the House of Rep
resentatives, and we have members enough
who speak eloquently and abiy upon every
question, but who really have but little ca
pacity for business.
This eulogist presumed that because Mr, Cal.
boun was wanting in the essential requisites of an
able and useful Secretary of War, he must conse
quently dwindle into obscurity. No conclusion
could be more erroneous. Mr, Calhoun so far
fiom dwindling into obscurity, has cndeavousrd
to danale the nation with the novelty and splen
dour of his achievements, and his success has cost
the country some millions of dollars. He will
not dwindle into obscurity, while his magnificent
and visionary schemes continue to drain our trea.
sury. He will not be forgotten, while the Yellow
Stone expedition, or Rip Rap contracts shall be
remembered.
Whatever his been said to place this springing
Secretary, in the intellectual scale, above the first
men of our country—of his acquiring by intuition
what other men can only acquire by application
and study—Whatever has been said of the light-
ning glance his mind, his splendor, his etiiil.
gence, his bunting upon the world, and a thous
and other such fooleries, deserves oAly to be treat
ed with ridicule. But what has been said of his
economy and the great savings he-has made for
(he nation; as tt is calculated to impose upon the
public, deserves, and shall receive a more serious
notice.
From the 106th number of the New York Pat.
riot, edited by Col. Gardtm we take the follow,
ing quotation“Is there an individual among the
promising candidates, the structure of whose mo
ral foe lings and sentiments, the elementary pnn.
ciple of whose character, farm a striking resem
blance to those of Washington l We most con
fidently answer in the affirmative, lfi since the

As this is the first time the officers op the ar

and so forth; for all which, the public was prepar

as a new star rising in our political firmament,
whose effulgence has attracted the eyes of the
American People, is a dashing evolution, an in

our country remains at peace,) far the a.
vowed purpose for aiding the Secretary or
War, in the performance of those duties,
which require a -knowledge of the minutae
and details of the Army*.
Mr. Calhoun is freed from detai Is, which
imposed upon former Secretaries much la
brr and responsibility; the consequence is,
that he pays but iittlo attention to these de-
tails, and probably knows less of them, than
any former Secretary, and trusts more than
any of them have done, to clerks and other
subordinate agents. And Congress have to
trust them too, instead of relying upon the
responsibility of the Secretary, of which
the above report affords a notable instance.
The part of the resolution respecting the
ration, was referred to the Surgeon General,
who writes to the Secretary, a long letter of
nine octavo pages, inlorming him, among
other important matters, “that man was not
originally carnivorous,"—And that “the
horse may be taught to live upon meat,”
and this, the Secretary communicates to
the House of Representatives lor the infor
mation of the members, most of whom
were eminently carnivorious, and not one
of whom ever thought of dining upon corn
blades, or feeding his horse upon bacon, nor
ever heard of any such thing, before this
report, unless we except the case of the
man “who in pure kindness to his horse,
buttered his hay ”
Mr Calhoun controls general results with
out attending to the details of business. The
pernicious consequences of this system are
severely felt by the public. He wishes to
divide the duties as well as responsibility
of his office. Business is perplexed by too
much division, and we have abundant ex
perience to teach us, that as we divide, we
weaken responsibility.
Mr. Calhoun in his congressional career,
was not remarkable for investigating his
subjects with close application or regular
system- One ol his great eulogists, [auth
or of Sketches of some of the prominent
characters of the United States'! admits
that “Mr. Calhoun wants consistency and
preseverance of mind, and seems incapable
of long, continued, and patient investiga
tion” and after speaking in the most exalt
ed terms of his eloquence, he adds—*“Mr
Calhoun is one of those whom you can
only trace like the Comet, by the light he
casts upon his path, or the blaze he
leaves in his train.’,
But the situation to which he has been re
cently elevated has from fear abridged his
sphere of usefulness, and as secretary of
war, Mr. Calhoun who occupied every
tongue daring the session of the national
Legislature, may dwindle into obBcurity,but
will never be forgotten: without a capacity
•On the 15th April, 1822, Mr. Starling of New
York, the confidential friend of Mr. Calhoun, in a
speech in favor of retaining a Major General in
our peace establishment, declared that “it waaim
possible for the Secretary of war to be familiar
with the minutae and details of the army. By this
office he can be aided in the most effectual and
useful manner, and freed from an intolerable bur
den, which is inconvenient, if not incompatible
with the discharge ef his other numerous and
pressing duties.” See National Intelligencer of

In the same paper we have a communication
headed “Economy—Mr. Calhoun.”—«There is
no virtue so necessary in a republican government
as enconomy,” &c.
In the same paper of the 16th of April, 1822,
we again have “Economy—Mr. Calhoun.” —
" Great savings in the War Department”—“By
the splendour of his own merits he [meaning Mr.
Calhoun] atchieved his course to power and influ
ence, by the force of At* own ability, and
the strength of his own integrity, he has main
tained his situation, daily enlarging the circle of
his own reputation, and transmitting the solid and
permanent benefits of his own administration into
every section of the Union.” Trash like this,
enough to fill a volume, might easily be collected
from the public papers of the last two yeafs.
Economy and Calhoun are kt pt together, pro
bably in stereotype, in these newspaper*, as i
there was really some connexion between them
as if they were convertable terms; as if they
meant the same thing, or if Calhoun was econo
my personified. But this is an unnatural asso
ciation, only to be found in the newspapers. -
little examination will shew that Mr. Calhoun is
total stranger to economy^
How did he consult economy in his efforts to
perpetuate the abuse of brevet pay to the offi
cers of the^army, which abuse, Congress were
under the necessity of correcting by law f
How did be consult enconomy m his efforts to
prevent every proper reduction of the army ?
How did be consult economy in his wild and
visionary scheme of sending an army to the Yel
low Stone river fifteen hundred miles up the Mis-
souri, or in the expensive and wretched manner,
in which a pert of that expedition was conduc
ed ?
How did he consult enconomy when he loaned,
or advanced without authority to Daniel Buzzard,
ten thousand dollars of the public money, to build
a powder mill for the said Buzzard, which loan
was to remain three years without interests; aud
then to be returned, not in money, but in powder
which waB not wanted, and at a price much above
its value?
How did be consult enconomy in the Rip Iiap

These and many other cases of a similar char,

animation. I shall, however, select a subject for
a future communication, depending chiefly upon
Documentary evidence, which will afford a very
distilict view of Mr.Calhoun’s system of economy.
