THE LAYING OF THE CORNER STONE.
The 'rurnbul ceremony was to have taken place
on the I'D instant. Every exertion las been made
by the Nullifiers TO conduct it with great eciat. Mr..
Calhoun has been brought forward, rs one Of the
principal figures. A conspicuous place is assigned
to him in the procession; aud i'm the programme his

Will appear also from the following proceedings of
the PREPARATORY meeting of the seIi-yclept 4" State
Rights party of Charleston, that Duff Green too is
to be brought forward as one OF the Lions of the
Day! What sort of party must it he, which honors
such n man? The assertion of the Charleston Even
ing Post that such man commands the respect of
political opponents well friends, is rank libel
on the sense and tuste of the majority of the
country.

MIR. CALHOUN'S OPINIONS ON U. S. BANK.
The summary which we lately published of MIR.
Cahoun's course OH the Bank, has drawn forth
remarks from other papers We annex the follow
ing opposite article from the Lynchb,ag Vuginian
and the ALBANY Argus:
'.We indebted to the Richmond Enquirer for the
following arrangement of the votes by States ques-
ton OF charterug The present Bank Pennsylvania which
is now said TO be unanimous in favor of it, then gave
against il aud South Carolina which then, under the
control oil Mr. Calhoun who the father OF the insti
tuition, having drafted the charter, aud against
the attacks oil its ssans, nearly favor
OF it, being now, said under the guidance of the same
Mr. Calhoun, unanimously opposed TO it, upon consiu
tona grounds! And yet these claim Tor their
itutona opinions the reverence and respect due in
iaih6liity slone!-L. pugtntdn.
The editor Of the Daily Adv comes promptly to the
defence OF his political friend John c. Calhoun 1t per-
things that he should attempt TO vincae the ''conssre
Cyl Of the arch nuller. In the history of this country,
there is not public whose and
dcions numerous and glarng, those oil John
c. Calhoun. We will not except Mr.. Clay. Incon-
sistences and contradictions, loo, in relation great
leading constitutional measures and principles AT one
moment, the advocate of tariff and the protective
system, and urging il upon Congress essential to
the public interests: the next, denouncng that same
system, UNCONSTITUTIONAL fraudulent aud flagitious
ana such scheme Of oppression as TO warrant the
notification OF the act Of Congress by which il is
established, aud to justify dissolution of the Union
II IL be not resisted At moment the widest aii,udi-
marian OF the power Of Congress internal improve
ments, and demanding any expenditures however lavish
lent oil The professed friends oil State Rights, and among
the most Jealous Of the pretended adherents to strict
construction OF the Constitution. AT one moment, the
originator and advocate OF National Bank, and of the
present Bank OF the u ST. and the assaiing through
his organ at Charleston the Richmond Enquirer
ing that he is in favor OF its re-charler!
"Suchis the consistency which 10 be 10 the taste
and TO demand the vinticaon Of the Albany Daily Adj
vertser II may 10 lie difficult task all this
ebony into topaz; buiew things exceed the capacity OF the
men oil the ID. Adv They CAREFUL however, their
attacks upon the Richmond Enquirer to keep It's facts out
oil gh These they seldom allow their readers chance
to encounter. They would do yell 10 meet them with
facts instead Of defamation, they can furnish
the article OF the Enquirer, which probably called the
Characteristic paragraph OF abuse and Words in
Daily Advertiser. We ask the readers attention 10 the
UNDENIABLE FACTS which il presents TO the history
OF the origin OF the present Bank of the u ST. and
reason for suppo-ipg that Mr. Calhoun might not, upon
tis as upon every other great political question, have
performed a somerset .ai6any argus.
AS to the albany ID. .4duertiser, zoe could have ex-
pected no other course. We lately exposed i'll its
true colors its abominabe suppression Of the truth in
case. We nailed it to the pillory-aud
hence its new maledictions and its continued mis-
representations.
REGISTRATIONS IN THE SENATE.

gret.-The following is his Letter of resignation:
