Globe, was IA repetition Of the same
cuckoo note Of hostility to it, Who does
not see that mr.. Van Buren, has fallen
PROSTATE, and now worships at Nam
mons shrine; Who does not see that,
under the prctcncc of friendship to Gen.
Jackson, the Globe is offering him up as
victim to atone for mr. Nun Ruen's Of
fences against the Bank of the United
States:
But 10 return to tho spring of 1880
Finding that he was without hope, he
resolved TO make merit of supporting
Gen. jackson, and to operate upon his
friends in Pcnnsy lvania, aud the North
and West, by charging home upon mr..
Calhoun determination to be can
didatc in opposition to Gen. Jacks1n;-
and to undermine his popularity IN the
tariff States, and thus gradually absorb
mr.. Clay's popularity, by creating II
monster Of notification and making war
upon it. To give countcnance ald Ell
feet to this movement, he threw himself
upon mr.. Crawiord's interest IN the
South, identified himself with ne Geor-
gla question, and with Judge smith, and
the opponents of mr. Calhoun, IN South
Carolina. This bas been mr.. Van
Buren's game; protesting to be oppos-
scd to notification, his object has been
to drive South Carolina to the verge OF
disunion that he might have the credit Of
opposing it.
But the Globe quotcs an extract from
the Boston Courier, of the 10th day OF
May, 1890, to show that rumor has said
that the "cditor of the Telegraph does
not hesitate to declare tho necessity of
placing the Vice prcsidclt and the late
Postmaster General immediately before
the people, us candidates or the two first
Offices IT And it has also quoted the
same print to show tina mr.. Calhoun
was about TO form coalition with mr..
Clay and mr. Wcbstc,, preparatory to
his becoming candidltc, at the close
OF the late session, because that print
proposed a convention, IN which Henry
Clay, Daniel Webster, and John L.
Calhoun, should meet to agree upon
candidate in opposition to General Jack
son!!! BY Il reference to my letter to
major Noah, of the QJlh of March, 1880,
it will be seen thut mr. Noah had said
to ne, that Nh Ucbb was told on high
authority, at Washington, that mr.. Cal
houn intended to be candidate, (and
who can doubt that mr. Van Buren, was
that authority,) and that ! then told mr..
Noah that the report was taken TO New
York by mr.. Webb, himself, and that
the intelligent friends of the President,
who were intimate with mr.. Calhoun,
knew il to be false. am now author
izCd to refer to two Of them The Hon.
mr. Daniels, Of Kentucky, in a CONVEX
sation with me, since the adjournment
Of Congress, told me that mr. Calhoun,
at the time he was thus charged by mr..
Webb, told him and Gen. Dcsha, OF
Tennessee, both known to be the warm
personal and confidential friends of the
: ice President, that he was in favor Of
the c-cicction Of Gen. Jackson. Who
could believe that mr. Calhoun would
play the "hypocriteo with his coniiden-
liai friends, and divuge his secret
thoughts and intentions to mr.. Van
Burcn: X is ridiculous and absurd!!!
But SAYS the Globe, the rumor was
published in the Boston Courier, of the
10Th of May, l&S0!! And is it strange
that that which the New York Courier
had publicly charged, early in March,
should be published as rumor in the
Boston Courier on the 10Th of May!!-.
All can see how the rumor got alloat.
But find that, although have more
to say, have extended this commune
cation to much greater length than |
intended.

the President Of the dangers which lay
before him, and had his word of promise
That my confidence in his patriotism, in
lis integrity, and in his intelligence, in
duccd me to hope that his regard for his
own honor, and his Jealous devotion to
his country, would give him the alarm
That he would see and feel the causes
which have cast so great cloud upon
his fame, and that he would either con-
troll them or separate himself from them.

had his original friends, of whom mr.
Kendall spoke so contemptuousIy, been
aware of that which has brought the re-
publican party to the verge of dissolu-
tion-had they known the whole truth,
they would have spoken to him in Ian
guagc which would have dissolved the
spell that now shuts out from him the
true expression Of public opinion My
apology for speaking now is, that can
not mistake its current. Every one is
