At this time, mr.. Calhoun was at Washing.
ton. Who can believe, that during all this
while. of"measured step and slow" he was
not counselled and advised with /; and that
this circular was written by his advice, or
passe. under his revision and inspection? II
can hardly be believed, that without his ap.
proyal, Mr.. Green would tuke course so i'm
porlant to his future political interests. Ii
cannot be doubted, that these letters TO Dun
lap, Noah, Richie, and especially this circu-
lar. we're written by and with mr.. Calhonn's
advice, or passed his revision. The object
and purpose of tho last, was to show, that mr..
Calhoun "is the true friend Of the Presdcnt;"
next. how mana cement and intrigue were
pong on near the President and lastly, that
in FEW DAYS full exposure would be
made. :,
Wherefore all this secret, private, political
arrangement Why all these conversations,
this wide spread correspondence, these IN
trigues in Congress, these preparatory move
ments s.in open day and secret night 2" Why
this restless jealousy, and fearful forebodlng
of mr.. Van Buren-this fear that he would in.
duce the President 10 consent 10 reelection
this apprehension that | had lent myself
and nv influence, 10 bring about results,
which wero to thwart mr.. Calhoun, ana post
pone his claims? Why the attempt to alarm,
and to arouse the democracy OF New Eng
land? Wherefore disturb mr.. Noah's tran
qnillity, with fancied tales of plots and in
trigues, and mr.. Richie with grave and oIacu
lar warning? Wherefore, in the circular Of
the 25th of March, is language so impressive
and foreboding, and Of such solemn and pro
pheiic import, employed! What awful event
or dread design was a"FEw DAYS" about TO
disclose, that friends, on the ground that they
had NEVER BEEN DECEIVED, nor jdise alarms
been sounded, should be implored to suspend
their opinions? Was all this note ofprepara-
tion-this bustle--this management-this
toll by day and profound meditation by night
these solemn warnings and doeful cautions
to be the mere annUpciation, that mrs. l.--B
B. and E. did not interchange visits, or in
v,e each other to LARGE PARTIES al
Washington, and that the President, In mar.
tial pomp and spirit, had sent the gallant Hero
of the Thames, the harbinger Of dread
threat, if it we're not otherwise'
Oh, no II was no such unimportant matter,
which in a "rEw DAYS." with astounding ct
feet, was to be brought before the American
people. II was a general attack upon all
who would not acknowledge mr.. Calhoun's
legitimate right Of immediate succession; a
plot was TO be discovered, and then we were
to have an expose ofthose intrigues near the
President, which were to cvnce TO the world
that q transfer of his popularity TO another
was designed. Mr.. Van Buren, was to be
s,ipmat,zed as the author and was to be
marked as his humble instrument in The busl
ness. 1t was intended next TO denonnce all
the Presidents personal friends, who were
near him, as a "malign influence"-to repre-
sent him as the victim Of their intrigues, tha,
one by one, they might be driven from him
or ifhe would not part with them, and should
prove refractory, to open the Ph'als OF their
wrath against him, until sickened and dis
gusted with the turmoil, he might retire to the
solitude Of the Hermitage, and yield the strife
of politics to the Vice President and his ri
walls. All the visiting cards that were ever
printed and circulated in this city, were as
nothing, compared to this grand--this impor.
tant design. which was to be brought oul
subsequently as an afterpiece to the new plo'
that was Quilt upon the letter Of mr.. Craw
ford, and the published correspondence.
