 NOMINATION. OF JOHNC c. CALHOUN, FoR THE PRESIDENCY or THE U. STATES.
 The meeting ofthe friends of Mr. Calhoun. at the Broadway House last evening. was nr- merous and highly respectable. The room was filled. The chair Was taken by John Woodward, Esq.,, one of the delegates tO the last Herkimcr Convention. assisted by Col Alex. Hamilton. David Brush and George Bruce, Esquires, were appointed Secretaries. The subioined resolutions, with the excep- ton of the two last, were presented by Col Alexander Hamilton, and unanimosly adopt ed. The two last, which were offered ny l other persons present, were also adopted IT. l unanimously. Itswas unanimously Resolved, in consider ation of the commanding talents, the unblem- ished reputation, the consistent republcanlsm, and the enlightened patriotism, Of JOHN 2. CALHOUN, to nominate him as candidate for the Chief Magistracy fthe United States, and to invite the earnest cooperation of our
 fellow citizens to promote and ensure the q | l It was further Resolved. to bestow our best effOrts and exert every honorable means to advance the political influence of John O. Calhoun, as essentially important, to give permanency to OnF Republican Institutions and dignity and intelligence to the admins. l tration of our public affairs, which most desi. l rable results we confidently anticipate from his profound and extensive knowledge of Oul
 general interests. his tried worth and long ex. perience in our national councils, and his uni form and able support of every energetic measure. calculated to elevate and sastala th! t American Confederation.

 the more especially, that, as the early friends
 of Gen. Jackson, we imagined there was sub.

 It was further Resolved, that every attempt to produce sectional distinctions. or the erciu- sise advancement Of Gay PGrticular interest, ought to be deprecated, as creative of Paral- yzinG and baneful influences in the National Councils; and us much as our eOnfederalive government was established on principles of mutual concessions and general compromise, tt ought tscOnsequently ttt h6 administered n a spirit decentralization. ever mindful of the gem eral welfare. and never regardless of the feel lngs and prejudices of any essential portion of the American People.
 It was further Resolved, that we duly app preciate the hon0rahlsand yictOriOus achieve ments of the Hero of ". Orleans. and sincere- " hope that he may weather the present storm, and enjoy in retirement the pleasing contemplation uf his unfading military laO-s
