do not intend, said Mr.. Calhoun, in
what propose 70 say, to comment on the
character or the language OF this extra
ordinary letter 1t has excited in my bo-
som but one feeling-that of pity for the
weakness Of its author, contempt for his
menace. and humiliation that one occupy
inc the Office that he does. should place
himself in situation so unworthy OF his
exalted station. Nor do | intend to in
woke the interposition of the Senate to
protect the privilege attached to sena-
tor from one of the sovereign states of
this confederacy, which has been outra-
sed in nv person. seek no aid to defend
INV privileges. and, so far from being in
timidated. | shall be emboIdened to express
myself with greater freedom, if possible,
to denounce the corruption Of the admin
istration. or the violation of the laws and
Of the constitution, in consequence Of this
attempt to restrain the free exercise of the
right Of expressing my opinions upon all
subjects concerning the public interests,
secured to me by the constitution. leave
90 the Senate to determine what measures
the preservation Of their own privileges
demands.
Much less do intend to comply with
the request or demand. made of me; de-
mand, has no place between equals. and
hold myself within my constitutional priv
ile-e at least equal to the Chief Magls-
trafe himself |, as legislator. have a
right IL investigate and pronounce upon
his conduct, and to condemn his acts freely,
whenever | consider them to be in viola
ton of the laws and of the constitution
I, as senator, may judge him; he can
never Judge me.
My object is to avail myself ofthe occa-
sion to reiterate what | said, as broadly
and fully as uttered them former
occasion. here, in my place, where alone
am responsible, and where the friends OF
the President will have an opportunity to
correct my statement, if erroneous, or to
refute my conclusions, if not fairly drawn

Iomit something which said on the for.
mer occasion, which may be deemed ma.
terial. If so, will thank any senator to
remind me, so that my statement may now
be as strong and as full as then"
Mr.. Calhoun then repeated the sub
stance Of his speech on the Land bill, in
which there is ne such language or charge
as that imputed to him by the Globe and
. the President. The nearest approach to
it is in the following passage.
81 then remarked that, If rumor were to
be trusted, it was not only in political
point of view that those in power had
profted by the vast means put in the hands
Of the Executive by the experiment; they
had profted in a pecuniary as we'll as
