JOHN c.. CALHOUN.

from JOHN W CALHOUN, the jackson can0'date IOr
the Vice Presidency, TO the Editors Of The flashing
ton Zelegraph-yes, reader, John c. Calhoun is the
correspondent Of the Washington Telegraph, Of
Duff Green, of Russell Jarvis In their remarks
this letter, the veracous Editors of the Telegraph,
anticipating thai its authenticity will be questioned,
and wishing to make boast of their intimacy with
Mr.. Calhoun take particular pains to tell their rea-
ders how they may ascertain 'stbe fact that letter
from Mr.. Calhoun was received by US this morning"
No honest man defends himself from the charge OF
crime before the charge is made, for the best of all
reasons---he does not think Of it. But there
necessity for the Telegraph's defending itself from
the anticipated charge Of forging this letter. IT bears
internal evidence of having originated from the pen
of Mr.. Calhoun, and as such will lend our feebe
efforts to extend its circulation among the good peO
pie Of Maryland, Pennsy lvania, and other WOOL
growing and manufacturing states, that they may
! properly understand who is in favor Of and who
against their interests. A word of explanation
seems necessary. The letter is written in very
guarded terms. the points and bearing do not, at
first glance, appear on the surface. The remark
that "the country is perfectly sound on the great ques-
tor" seems of quite an ordinary character till ex-
ahmed. when we find, that the great question re-
erred to is whether the writer of the letter is to be
re.eected Vice President of the United States, and
his idol Chieftan made President This Is indeed
a great question for the people Of the United States
to ponder upon. and of high import but it is called
situation. But his remarks about the Tariff are the
most artfu They speak, however, language not
! to be misunderstood. He ''trusts and believes the
EXCITEMENT in the South 'will be restrained within
the bounds of moderation" He do IS not dsapprove
of the hsh.handed measures and reasonable pro-
ceedings of the Coeton and other meetings, as IS
his duty as officer of the government. but "trusts
and believes they will be restrained within the bounds
Of moderation'' He therefore approves of these
measures and proceedings. He considers the Tar
f 'by far the dangerous question that has ever
sprung up under system" Here again he JUS
titles the reasonable practices OF the meetings IN
South Carolina, and charges all the blame upon the
Tariff and its friends. But he trusts the ''peopls
will find a remedy for this, Vhe Tariff as they
have thus far for ali of our political diseases" What
the remedy he here trusts the people will ind for
this '.poHticM disease" the Tariff There can be
no mistake-the remedy he alludes to is the election
of General Jackson and hin,sey -John c. Calhoun
to the Presidency and Vice Presidency. They
are, therefore, avowedly opposed to the American
System. and we again solicit the readers attention
to this fact now established by this letter from John
G. Calhoun himself. The following is the letter al ;,
1 uded to, which we copy from the official organ of
; the Jackson party, the Washington Telegraph Of
u Saturday last
one of The Editors of The Washington Telegraph,
d dated Pcndleton, s. C. LIST July, 1928.
