EDMUND P. HUNTER.

An able article on the subject of "The
People and their President" signed "Civis,"
appears in the last Richmond Wing. We
extract the concluding sentences:
"But there is another and even more de
grading charge-Mr. Calhoun has directly
and unequivocally charged General jackson
with having read and retained in his posses
sion, until discovered and reclaimed, a ''pur-
Joined" letter,,!-Can this be possible? Or
is it foul and infamous caiumny, fabricated
by revenge?
"Yet this charge is openly, explicitly, and
publicly made, by man OF high Standing
holding the second office in your gift--and of
at least reputed honor. 1t must, therefore,
be taken for true, unless denied positively,
unequivocally denied-subterluges evasions,
and dim explanations, will not suffice. If
true, in what school Of virtue has this man
been educated what rules of morality does
he practiceP
SIS it less criminal to receive "purloin-
ed" letter than any other article of property?
Or rather, in all ages, and in all countries,
and among all civilized people, from the
days Of Bellerophon TO the present hour
has not Letter been considered of the most
sacred description Of property and an unau-
tborized perusal among the most dishonest
and dishonorable violations of human faith?
sin word, IN what code OF morals or oil
crimes, has distinction, in principle, ever
been drawn between he that "purlcins" and
he that receivesp
'If these charges are not unequivocally
denied, and every shadow Of doubt, as TO
their existence, removed, can the people of
this country be so lost to all sense of homes
ty, honor, dignity, and interest, as to per-
nit SUCH MAN to remain President Of the
United Statesf"
Mr. Crawford has been proposed as the
Jackson candidate for Vice President for the

Hill Is also talked OF as the Northern Jack

perform is to himself and to the countryside stand
manfully, by the consequences of the decisive stem
he has taken-and to unite with those who concur
with him in the opinion that the present Chief Ma
gstrate is the victin, Of political intrgue-a mere
puppe of the Secretary of State. THIS is the decIa
ration Mr. Calhoun has made to his country and This,
his station and influence in that country, his honor.
and safety, impose it upon him, to contribute his
eTertons to replace the government in competent.
and responsible hands.
Those who think that in promulgatng these SEN
timents, have no higher aim than to promote the
political interests of Henry Clay, or any other man
or sett of mems Judge us by their own standard of
partnership, and are welcome to their opinions.
We believe as truly as we believe any thing
which has not occurred, that the Union cannot sur
vive another four years rule of Gen. Jackson-a
rule guided by no fixed principles, unenghtened by
experience. and untutored by knowledge of our in
stitutions and their sprit,-whosc cardinal objects
seem to be- to punish difference of opinion, provide
for parasites, partizans and favoiites, out of the
public tisc, and to perpetuate the dynasty in the per-
son OF the first favorite. Against the continuation
OF this misrule, we will go all lengths of upright Cd
posltion-aud whatsoever is the man that mites tho
greatest number of chances to overthrow it. that
man wlilwe support, be him who he uay-not for
hls sake but that of the country.

pHE VICE PRESIDENT.

This gentleman sustains deadly FIRE from all
the Van Buren,, and pby authority presses with the
exception of the in this city, which observes
guarded neutrality, not seeing its way with entire
clearness As specimens take the following from the
Pennsylvania Inquirer, who comments upon toasts
given at dinner Mr. Leiper Qnember of the
late Congress) in Delaware county:
"The Vice President of the United Slates-A pa
triot and statesman: he has exhibited talents Of the
first order"
We are a loss to kow when and where the Vice
President exhibited his ''pat-iotiSns" Was it in his
famous letter to Duff Green IN 1885, wherein he de-
nounced the tariff of the greatest evils that ever
befel the country? Was it in his report adopted by
the senate Of Sonth Carolina, wherein he strenuousy
advocates the doctrines of notification? Was it in
his declarations at Washington CITY last winter in
which he maintained that any individual state had
sight to annual an act of Congress? Was it in his re-
cent correspondence" in which he endeavored to
iDJure the popularity Of the president and throw fire
brand into the ranks of the republican party? Was
it in aiding Duff Green in his editorial labors and
putting himself up as great statesman, patriot, and
an Injured MANI Was it in seeking popu laritv on
his way home from Washington, in every will age
hamlet, and cottage" through which he passed! Or
it in his "Rip-Rap' transactions and specula
tions! l. 'Pause for reply"
<'By John X. zelin, Esq.-John C.. Calhoun, no.
nest in Princ'Pie pure in patriotism, manly and dig
nihed IN repeing insldous foes the peoples conf
dcnce in him remains uudimnished"
Were the people to believe the assertions OF the
Sutherland faction, which reiterated from time
to time, they would certainly put down Mr. Calhoun
one of tho greatest "patrots" that ever shone in
any age country! Instead of being "honest in pm
cipe he is represented to be- he is quite the re-
verse. Ills principles hang very loosely about him
and ever did. There is not more designing and
intriguing politician in the country than lust John g.
Calhoun His principles and his policy are directly
at variance with those Of the people Of Pennsylvania
and they never can support him for any Office But
it is said that he acted "maniy and dignifed in re-
pelling insidious foes" There is "more IN this than
meets the eye Duff Green says that there was
conspiracy" entered into to destroy him. and it is
alleged that Jackson, Van Buren, Crawford, &c. &c.
were the "conspir ators2" These men, therefore,
