NOMINATION OF JOHN C. CALHOUN,
FoR TIIE PREsinENcY or .rILE 1rN1rrn sr,rra

FOR THE PRESIDENCY or THE UNITED STATES
The meeting of the friends of Mr. Calhoun, at
the Broadway House, last evening was numerous
and highly respectable. The room was filled. The
ehair taken by John Woodward ESQ one OF
the delegates to the last Herkimer Convention as
sisted by Col. Alexander Hsmilton. David Brush
and George Bruce, Esqrs were appointed Secreta-
res. The subjoined resolutions, with the exception
of the two last, were presented by Col. Alexander
Hamilton, and unanimously adopted The two
last which were offered by other persons present,
wero also adopted unanimously.
1t unanimously Resolved, in consideration
of the commanding talents, the unbemishcd rep
utation, the consistent repubIcunism, and the en-
lightened Patriotism Of JOHN G.. CALHOUN, to
nominate him as n candidate for the Chief Magis-
tracy of the United Slater, and to invite the ear
nest cooperation of fellow citizens to promote
and snsue the election of this distinguished indi-
vidual.
1t further Resolved, to bestovv our best eff
FORTS and exert every honorable means to advance
the political influence Of John G.. Calhoun, az es-
sentialiy important to give pcrmanency TO our re-
publican institions, and dignity and intelligence
to the administration Of our public affairs which
most desirable result we confidently anticipate from
his profound and extensive knowledge Of oar gen
eral interests. his tried worth and long experience
in national councils, and his uniform and able
support Of every energetic measure, calculated to
elevate and sustain the true honor aud permanent
prosperity Of the American Confederation.
II was further resolved, that we contemplate
with deep regret the unfortunate entanglements
and discreditable embarrassments in which The Pre-
sidential independence and dignity have become in
yoved and degraded the more especially, that as
the early friends Of General Jackson we imagined
there substantial reason to hope that bis eeya-
ton would secure to the National Cabinet uHdoubt
cd talents purity Of motive, enlarged political views,
to the entire exclusion Of every species Of avor-
ism, temPorizng expedients, and proscrptvc chan
ges in official stations.
II was further resolved, that We have contempla-
ted, with serious alarm, the recent efforts Of the
Executive to procure the repeal Of tho 25th section
OF the Judiciary Act, dangerous and mpoiitic
attempt to Subvert the supervisory usefulness of
the Supreme Court Cf the United States, il effect,
tending to produce entire annihilation of this
important chain &C judicial decisions on constitu.

GALLATfS, Tenn. July 20, 1881
Sri was one Of Gen. Jackson's ORIGINAL warn,
personal. and political friends, who have been de-
nounccd for no other reason, as believe but that
could not say, Major Eaton was one of the great
est men in the nation, and that Mrs. Eaton was 4
sandcrcd woman.
l took occasion to wait on Mr.. Eaton before Inc
married Mrs. Eaton, and informed him, as | thourbt
was bound to do, being his personal FRIEND Of Che
rumours against the woman he intended TO make
his wife, and attempted to dissuade him from it.
lie informed me, in Tennessee, that as soon as he
heard Of the death of Timberlake. he determined
to go TO Washington and marry his widow, and
communicated this intention to Gen. Jackson, who
approved of, and advised him to do so. | was IN the
City, when it was rumored that Mai. Eaton. won Id
be appointed in the Cabinet, Ga few days before the
General was inauguratcd.) 1 waited on the Presi-
dent, and gave him my opinion honestly, that it
would be an unfortunate appointment; that I could
see disappointment and modification in the counte
nances OF his friends; that the country expected Of
him to select men for his cabinet Of the first IA
Tents III the nation; that Major Eaton was not one
OF that description. The Presidents answer was
that Mr. Eaton was talented man, and that he
was well informed that it would be a very popular
appointment in New York and Ponnsylvania
and that *<fFr'T had informed him that the an
Pointment of Eaton would be well received n
Pennsylvania.

A PALPABLE HIT.
From the National Journal.

Precious CoSFESsIoN.-In somewhat mystical
article concerning Mr.. Mason, who has been ap-
pointed Secretary of the Michigan Territory, tho
Giobo of Monday contends that he ought not to
be removed from office, unless he should commit
some act of misconduct, and adds
''But till then, it would evince an utter disregard
'of the plainest dictates of justice, to from
''ofiico person who has done nothing TO deserve
cit, merely because apprehension entertained
''or affected that he would do wrong"
Nothing can be more unquestionabe than the
general proposition here laid down. The only sur
prisng circumstance about it is that it appears in
the official organ of the present Administration.
Looking at 1T in this view, and rejecting on the
| removals by wholesale which Gen. jackson has
made, of persons who had ''done nothing to dc.
serve" thcm must regard the passage cited as a
public confession by Gen. Jackson, that he has
"evinced utter disregard of the plaincst dictates
of Justice" Aftor such declaration his formal
remuneration of all protantons to reelection may
be daily expected.

troll, essential to intelligent understanding OF
State Rights and the prorogatives and powers of
the Union.
1t further resolved, that we consider the
prosperity of Commerce, the improvement of Ag
riculturc, and tho encouragement of Manufactures,
inscparably blcndid in one common cause, ex-
tending and contributing tho means of SUCCESS re-
ciprocally to each other
1t was further resolved, that every attempt to
produce sectional distinctions, the exclusive adj
rdncement OF any particular interest, ought to bo
deprecated, creative of paralyzing and baneful
influences in the National Councils; and, inasmuch
confedcrativo Government was established
principles of mutual concessions and general
compromise, it ought, consequently, to be admins
tered in spirit of conciliation mindful of the
general welfare. and never regardless of the feol-
ings and projudces of any essential portion of tho
American people.
1t was further resolved, that we duly appreciate
the honorable and victorious achievements of the
Hero of New Orleans, and sincerely hope that he
may weather the present storm, and enjoy in
tiremont the pleasing contemplation of his unfa-
ding military laurels, free from the contemplation
of jaundccd civic wreath, unwisey aspired to-
and for mcritorious distinction, most unhappy
acquired.
Resolved, That the practice adopted by General
Andrew Jackson, of removing from office, efficient
and honorable men during the recess of the Senate
and filling the vacancies thus created, without the
advice and consent of that body, is dangerous ex-
ercise of the appointing power.
Resolved, That the Constitution of tho u. s.
ought to be SO amended, that person elected pre-
sident for one term, should not be again eligible;
and that the practice of appointing members of
Congress to Offices under the control of the Presi-
dcut, nerferes with the expressed will of the peo-
pie, creates an Executive influence of corrupting
tendency, and ought, therefore, to be abandoned.
Resolved, That the proceedings of the meeting
be signed by the Chairmen and Secretaries, and
published.
