dictation would be the only thing which could
induce, unler present circumstances, and at This
time, such determination.
The Telegraph goes on:
We are prepared to see the whole National
Republican party making war upon US. because
We will not surrender principles, upon the main
tenance of which we believe depends the per-
petuty of the Union and the prosperity of the
country"
Now we have seen 70 such indcatons-not
half as many. at least as we have seen eviden-
ces of hostility, bitter and undisguised, to what
aras the National Republican party.
We might continue our extracts from the arti
Gle in the Telegraph which contains the senten-
ces We have quoted, a.! of the same tenor, buitis
unnecessary. We considerths hoe ofthem inn
proper i'll timed, and unjustiia So far from
the friends of Mr.. Calhoun, and even the friends
of Notification, having any thing to complain
Of in the conduct Of those who assume TO be
allies;" the very reverse is no more than what
is due; they ought not to raise finger or utter
word, but in commentator. What would
MIR. Calhoun and the Nulifers of the South be
at this moment, but for the magnanimity, the
honor Of HENRY CLAY-reved, abused, denoun-
ced as he is. Yes! iIlustrous man! Noble, gen
erous even in your faults-high minded in your
very errors, it has been your fate, throughout
life, to have been assailed by those who have
received the most kindness at your hands;-the
holiness OF your character has only served to
make you fairer mark Tor the arrows Of en-
wy and uncharitableness" We regard not this,
however. II is fact not to be disputed, that
there are no substantial reasons for the ap-
parent jealousy and disaffection of the Tee-
graph The doctrine Of State Rights is uni
formly and steadily increasing-hardly voice
is raised by "the allies" in opposition TO the
PRONUNCIATION and spread Of these doctrines
no candidate for the Presidency that could be
named in opposition to Mr.. Van Buren, would
be objected to, if he were the straitest OF that
sect Nay, if that is what the Telegraph is al
ter, and it must be so, place John c. Calhoun in
opposition to Mr.. Van Buren,, and nine tenths
Of the Wings would gladly support the South
ern statesman. Exceptions there might be 10
all this in persons and in presses; but the great
body of the party would gladly take him in
preference to the Amounted heir apparent. Is
there any thing seen in all this to justify the CO.
vert attach made by the Telegraph upon the
Wing party?
Let us speak plainly. 1t is our custom. We
were brought up to despise equivocation and
cunning Does the Telegraph expect to fright
en- people into support of particular men or
measures by holding out the threat Of non con-
currence in any but such as may please GER
tain party? Then, let it be assured, it pursues
a suicidal policy. 1t is cutting its own throat
There are others who can non concur as well as
the Telegraph and its friends The star OF
South Carolina is not the sun the armament.
1t does not follow, therefore, that all should pay
homage to it's spendor. The Telegraph will
understand us. We speak thus of others, ana
of the known course Of events when operated
upon by similar causes. As for ourselves, not
all the threats Of all the presses in the country
could swerve us from the course which We hon
estly think is right and proper. Fdis ce q"H
fam arrive &c gull pourra," is motto under
which we hope to live and die. But il is more
than probable that dictatoria language, "seI''
Righteousness" and claims to exclusive patriot
to make that party ga miserable minority" as
its enemies have termed it-as the jackson par
ty now trium2hantly proclaim it. Will itbe en-
dured that the leaders Of that party should con
tnually brand every other party in the coun'
try with the most opprobrious epithets and apply
to them the most insulting language, and they
to stand unrebuked2 Will it be permitted that
the organ of that party, indebted to the kind
ness of its former foes for no inconsiderabe Ia
vors, should now haughtiIy demand surreh-
der of every thing to the claims Of its friends
and patrons? Just as sure as such a course Is
persisted in-persevered IN, just so sure viii
alienation and distrust take place, Just so sure
will the purposes Of the friends of the Admins
tration be answered in the breaking up of thai
F." combination" which, at present: is their grea'
est dread. The Telegraph throws itself IN al
attitude ofhostiIity to the Ant-Jackson, Antl-'aR
Buren,, and indeed every other party but Tue
Notification party. We predict that it canno'
