John C. CaMoun.-There never has been a politician or statesman in the U. States, who has SD strenuousy insisted on his own caDdor and trankness, and yet whose political opinions are so enigmatical-left so entirely to ccnjucture-as these of MT Calhoun. In South Carolina he is claimed as q stauncn sup porter (f not the originator) f their dcctrine ot Nullihcaticn, while here he is thought to be the exclusive advocate of Tariff, and of Natil nal Internal doctrines as opposite to each cther as heat and ccld - Ills friends tell us that his political course rests on "fixed principles ;'' if it d0es, he has managed to kee p those principles sodccp- iy buried in the impenetrable recesses If his own bosom, that they have never yet shown themselves. Judging from his pomp us lan- guage, and noble bearing, we would be led to imagine that his heart never entertained a fe-l'ng ct duplcty, or c'ncealment that all there, was manly, an1 open, and generaus, and hlgh-tcnod; and that SD far from display ing in hs conduct any thing an,bguous,it it was i'm possible to mistake his opini, n on any sub ject. But attempt to fasten him to any spot where you Can hereafter have a chance to look al him, to see what are his "fixed prn- c'ples, and he's of. If you attempt to iden- tfy h'm with any political doctrine, Gas the Paddy said) "put vcur finger upon him, and he isn't there" By this adroitness, he has hitherto managed to bask in the sunshine of p7pularlty; but the recent investigation seems to bld fair to put his fixed principles to the blush. What pity he has mt turned his truly splendid talents to better acc unt!
 We have been led to these reflections by observing recently, from letter of cnrres- pendent to the editor of the Ch,,,lest.II Cou- rier dated at Washington, that MT Calhoun was daily expected to publish d pamphlet, "cchtnining his disavowal of the d ctr.nes if the Nulllfiers ;'' or in case he sh uld mt pub- fish, he would embrace an early opportunity publicly to dcncunce them. This inf Formation should it prove true, will involve the Vice President in another c llission, not only with the most ct h,s present supporters in South Carolina, but with the organ If the admins tration at Washington, which bcldlv charges him with being the author of the "pr test of the Sauth Carolina Legislature, originating the doctrine of nullfration, and asserting the right of any State put Ueto upon the acts of Congress" And also, that he proposed that the merchants, m order, ito arrest the hrogress cfhe Tar6," should refuse to pay the Custom House binds, and appeal to a in- ry.of the State, who would in effect nnlify the law, and release theH from their obligations.
 we are sensible, says the Globe, "that the statement we have made in relation to the views expressed uponth subject by Mir Call houn' involves much responsibility-6u n IS rue And Ii that gentleman, or his organ the Telegraph, for him, shonM uenture fo con tradict it, we stand iedged to establish the fact by incontestibie e1idence"
 The charges above we're made in the Globe some tune since, andthe only intimation we nave heard that they could be refutcd, is by the extract of letter before mentioned. Wel cannot believe MT Cahoun will deny these charges and If he admits their truth. his whole support out of Sruth Carolina, wil be withdrawn from him. He is certainly in no ens'aoie situation, andcnnsidering the awk- ward predicament into which he has thrown hlmseH' we cannot but pity him, Alass poor Yorick. k."- Grorgia .Athenian.
