yalot Mr.. Calhoun at Washington, he Las express
sed uneauvocal diSapprohation Of the test o@h,
and the military arrangements consequent upon
the passage Of the Ordinance Of the late conyen-
ton IN his State.--We know not whether this be
true but there is evidently disposition apparen,
in the Mules at Washington, as well as at HON
TO abandon the high and untennb'e ground Which
they have essayed to occupy-and We think it al. |
most certain that, ul'on plausible pretext presen-
ing Itself they will instead OF seeding from the
Jnion secede froo, Nullifcaiion.-Mr. Calhoun
distinctly declared to the Senate few days ago, !
that if the Uuited States would Withdraw her nil
ilary forces from South Carolina, an :he hends !

FDrce We hear much said relative 10 the en-
ployneut of force against South Carolina, by the
general government by those who to .hIna i;
ali tignt that South Carolina should be permitted 10
marshal hcy forces and flourish her whip" over
the head OF the federal government. Col Preston,
in his la,o speech at Charleston, boasts that the
reduction of duties made a. the last session of Con
gress, and the additional reduction proposed by the
Executive nj the opening OF the presen. session,
never you'd have been effected but for the ar1ip
I'VE the rhis--of South Carolina" And yet we
are told ,hn, hcsa knights ot the whip are very

sort to force, if they are permitted hive their
own way Is il not strange, thai Uncle Sam will
net Withdraw his troops, and permit his laws to
be openly violated, his custom houses to DC demol-
shed, and his officers to be Imprisoned and fined,
