MIR. CALHOUN'S SENTIMENTS.

Dir. SYMMEs,
must request you to permit me to use your CO.
iumns' as the medium to make known my scnti-
ments on tho deeply important question of the re-
lation, which tho States and General Government
bear to each other, and which is, at this time n
subject of so much agitation.
1t Is one of the peculiarities of the station oc
cuPy, that while it necessarily connects its incum
bent, with the politics of the day, it affords him no
opportunity officially to express his sentiments OK
cePt accidentally on equal division of the body
over which he presidcs.-He is thus exposed as
nave often experienced, to have his opinions erro
neously and variously represented In ordinary
cases, conceive the correct course TO be to re-
main silent, leaving to time and circumstances the
correction of misrepresentation; but there arc oc
casions so vitality important, that regard both TO
outy and character would seem TO forbid such a
course; and such conceive, TO be the present
The frequent illusions to my sentiments will moi
permit mo to doubt, that such also is the public
conception, and that it claims the right To know
IN relation TO the question referred to- the opinions
or those, who hold important official stations while
on my part, desiring to receive neither unmarried
praise, nor blame, | feel, l trust the solicifude
which every honest and independent man ouobt
mat my sentiments should be truly known whether
they be such, may be calculated TO recommend
them to public favour, or not Entertaining those
Impressions, have concluded, that it is NV duty fo
make known my sentiments and I have adonfed
the mode, which on rchcctien seemed to be the
most simple, and best calculated to effect the oh
Jcct in view.
The question Of the relation, which the States
and General Government bear 10 each other il not
one OF recent origin. From the commencement Of
our system, 1t has divided public sentiment. Even
IN the Convention, while the Constitution was
struggling INTO existence, there were two parties
as to what this relation should be- whose different
sentiments, constituted no small impedimeut in
forming that instrument. After the General Co
vernment went into operation, experience soon
proved, that the question had not terminated with
the labours Of the Convention. The great strugrIc
mat preceded the political revolution of 1901
which brought Mr.. Jefferson into power, turned
essentially on IT; and the doctrines and arguments
on Doth sides were embodied and ably sustained: on
the one, IN the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions
and the report to the Virginia Legislature; and on
the other IN the replies Of the Legislature Of Mas
sachusetts and some Of the other states These
resolutions and this report, with the decision Of the
supreme Court Of Pennsylvania about the same
