MIR. CALHOUN's SPEECH.

We had the qualification of listening to Mr..
Calhoun's speech on Friday. 1t was impossible
to look unmoved upon the Orator. The deep
tones of his voce-the energy of his action-the
FIRE of his eye-and the expression OF his counte'
nance, all told how deep and soul-felt were his
convictions. His denunciations Of the bill were
bold aud naughty. He denounced it in the
strongest language and in the strongest manner
He declared that it was an effort 10 "lesalize
murder"-to "cnforce robbery by massacre "
While the burning words and breathing
thoughts were pouring from him, the restless
ness OF his person showed how much his mind
was agitated. As he Involuntary walked to
and fro, we thought Of the ehaf'd lion. surround.
ed BY the hunters. exhibiting his power to the
last. He spoke without turning To a note or re-
ference, and with an uninterrupted animation,
and concluded only when he bad become too
dizzy to proceed.
We expect to see a report Of the speech at an
early day, and will lose no time in laying it be-
fore our readers.

MIR, CLAY.

The hopes that, when Is the worst came to the
worst" HENRY CLAY would not disappoint his
country have not failed. He has, in the last ex'
trcmity, thrown himself in the breach and ha
zarded every thing to SAVE THE UNION! With
characteristic energy and boldness of character,
he has nobly, calamity, taken his stand at the
risk Of deser,ion, Pronunciation aud defeat. We
care not what may be thought or said OF the de-
tails of the bull: the act itself was most noble
and patriotic, worthy Of his fame and his indie
pendence rs an American Senator Who can
deny to him the need OF praiseI Who nov, for
miserable party considerations, can withhold
from him their appreciation and applause! We
will not travel over the ground, however. which
our correspondent "Scipio," in our last, so ably
occupied. We agree with him in all that he
has said and to his article we now refer Tor the
purpose Of expressing our pleasure IN having been
able 10 communicate TO the public his views on
the important subject of which we have spoken.

MARYLAND LEGISLATURE.

We have great many political and some per-
snnal friends IN the Legislature of Maryland,
and we trust therefore, that they will not attrl'
butte to any improper motives the expression OF
our opinion, that thu course which is urged upon
them by the Baltimore gentlemen, with regard to
the Chesapeake and Oho Canal. If adopted. will
not be very cr.ditabIe. The Canal was CON
nenced parity in consequence OF the wishes
and the aid of Maryland; and now, because a RI
val company has been defeated in their own
courts, that the Canal should be impeded by le-
gislatiye action, is, to IA, most shameful. We
are certain. however, that no judicial tribunal will
ever sustain the views of the Baltimore gentle
men, We place our reliance on the equity anu
the Justice of the case and the law.
The State of Maryland is interested. and deep.
" too, in the Canal. 1t is the part Of that Stale
to act in good faith and fairness, notwithstanding
the ovsrshadowing influence OF the Baltimore
Company Honesty is the best policy IN all ca
SEES, and in the end it will appear emlnently true
in the present instance. IS

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.

We announced in Saturdays Gazette the
passage of the bill, BY the Virginia House OF De-
lrgates, appropriating 5a5o,ooo to the stock of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The Richmond
Wing, in stating the fact, says that Sc this ap-
plication has been before the General Assembly
for a series of years, but heretofore has always
been defeated by great uajorities. scarcely ever
receiving more than 80 votes. 1t is indebted for
its success now-to its intrinsic merit, to the
diffusion Of more liberal and expanded cOncep-
tions, and in great degree to the active and un.
firing exertons of its friends. among whom we
may. without being invldious, particularize MIR.
Faulkner Of Berkely."
1t is hoped and expected that the Bill will pass
the Senate. We are exceedingly gra,ihed at the
action Of the Legislature in this case. especially
as it tends to make the great work which II pro-
poses to aid more intimately connected than ever
with the Commonwealth, whose property it must
increase in no small degree.
