ckson's meaning in the toast which he gave
the dinner lately got up by that High
REST ofHumbug, Mr. Thomas II. Benton
ono consider the toast as putting a stopper
~ the South Carolina doctrines; while others
Contend that it was designed to aooth the
Fg"nerons South" and to show that the "se-
fond Jefferson" did not concur in the odious
4nd latitndiarian construction which ma jor-
IN of the people Of the United htates have
Wpeatedly placed on their constitution. It
GEMS to US that very slight reflection on the
character of the dinner and the toast given
y sufficient to settle this controversy.
The late dinner for which bir. Jefferson's
\ birth day wac used as pretext was, it is well
Understood, a Calaoua movement, in counter
action of some Pan B,ssn movements at a
distance. On the origin, aesisa, and conse-

patats, because it forms part of the politi-
cal history Of the country, and presents some
Asmportant views of the true character of the
CoMsINATIoN. 1t was considered a~fnaster
stroke for Mr. Calhoun's friends to get pos
session Of Mr.. Jeiferson's birth day; and the
8"second Jefferson" could not, of course. re
fuse to attead the celebration In honor of his
prototype. But finding that toasts were Civ
ZEN OF az infiammatory character, on the sub
@ject of the Union, what was be to do? ST.
Hence, situated as he was, would have been
as bad as active participation in the objec-
stonase toasts; aud yet as open, decided re
Fprohation of them would offend one portion oil
fhs Heterogeneous faction which bears bis
name. Hs therefore adopted an expedient
&suitaa to bis circumstances at the moment,
#and to the daplicity of his character. He
j gave as toast, "Our Federal Uaion: 1t must
claimed the jackson opponents Of the "aoIlify
Il mg" doctrine: s'the President says the Unit
must be preserved" "Soand doctrine this"
8exclaimed the jackson adsosates Of the "nul-
8hfging" doctrine: "the President SAYS the
1 Union mus: he preserved;" and so say we
4 But be expressly says Federa5 Union. We
] nullifiers Of Collector and Abbesille are for
4 the Federal Union." That these Opposite
constructions have been placed on the toast,
every body kaows; and that it was sesgpedly
framed so as TO receive them, cannot be
doubted, we think, by any one who reads it;
who considers the circumstances in which il
was gwen: and who recolleets the example OF
It's authors faculty Of equivocation which was
manifested in his letter about the '.jadisios4s
sa!f"-fJNat. jour.
ftosd IN the Reports Of Dsbats--T The print
or OF the Senate is in the practice oil applying
to members of the minority in that body for
tdeir speeshes or remarks on interesting sub
Jscts. When he obtains them, he is also ia
toe habit, as we have learnt on good sathori-
y, OF eaornitting them to the inspection Of
Administration Senators. These Senators
write out the best reply they can to such
speeches or remarks; often leaving out such
parts OF their own az have been successfully
answered; and then the speeches thus falsif-
cd are published in the Telegraph as the true
debated This fraudulent practice was re
sorted to in the debate on subscribing to the
oed documents, and 10 the debate on the a.
ouse oil the removing power. Comment is

that his mother should be Informed that he had

Eue; but if you put il down three times every

Now if our public writers and debater:
would adopt the policy of Pat, and put dowr
nothing more than there is probability of sht
peoples believing, their chance OF success
would brighten; but whom they say We arr
