| ire Of our neighbOr, the Democrat Was
when the news was received tia! Mr.. ca
had voted against the Sub-lreasury Oil. ar
| baby vented It's spleen in secret, as Il yas,-r
kably silent publicly, last week.-When II o.
cue, II Will, perhaps, become rrdIhy IN -.
against the great Southern Statesman. W.
in December last, that zee could trust NJ, r.
houn, and prOphesied that he would come a..
in favor Of the people. Our prophecy is 49,.
veiifed.-.4rgus.
YOrr prophecy is nearly rerifsd!-Let u.s..
how it is verified, Mr.. Argus. Perhaps, Won,
many others have not attended as closely as .,
selves to the position which Mr. Calhoun In.
cupied with respect to the Bill to establish a.,
dependent Treasuy.-Ilad you done so, ". +.
certain that you would never have been ppl, .
the Gaur pas, the false move, which is disclo,
in the concluding remark of the above para,,,.
1t places you in a ridiculous attitude, as Tho K
| lowing statement will show.
The leading object of the administration ,,,.
at the extra session was TO bring abou, en-,
plete separation of the keeping of the public mo
ney from the use and discounts Of the baDL,
Accordingly bill was brough. forward in Il.
Senate 10 effect this object. This bill, as or,
lnally introduced, provided simply for total
vorce between the Treasury and the bank, h
went no farther. Many thought thai another St.,
ought TO be taken-that an improvement inh
rrency, as well as in the mode of keeping IL
public money, ought to come in as one of the rr
tires of the bill. Among those who so ,hCu,t
was John c. Calhoun, who moved an amend
ment to the bill, which directed that the kind Al
money to be received should, in time, be SPEC,
alone. This was favorite item in the measus
with Mr.. Calhoun, and it was we'll undelsoOdN
the time, that if it was not incorporated in a.
bill, he would not support it. Mr.. Calhouni
motion was carried, and the bill with the amend
ment passed the Senate at the special session, h
the House it was laid on the table by small mn
lorlty. A shot time after the commencement
the regular session, Mr.. Wright Of New York ID
troduced bill having the same objects in view
identical in every important particular with III
which had passed the Senate at the special SCI
son This bill not only met the approbaiou 0
all the Senators friendly to the administrator
but was supported by Mr.. Calhoun with an ablt
never surpassed. lie not only defended the 50,
Gle clause of the bill, bui every other part Of Il
When, at the close Of the debate, MIR. CuthbertO
Ga. moved to strike out the specie clause Of ds
bill, MIR. Calhoun, with the warmest friends ofAt
Administration, voted against it, and when The f
nalvote was taken, he voted against the bill, no
from any hostility to its principles or its object
but mcrcly because its strongest, most important
feature had been striker out.
Such is brief history Of the Divorce Bill don
t time of its first introduction in the Senate hnn
, second passage in that body. Now, mark h
ridiculous attitude in which cur ncighbor of At
D Argus has placed himself by his remark above
. relative to Mr.. Calhoun's course respecting h
| bill. Mr.. Calhoun goes as far as he who gCe
t farthes in support Of the measurable susan'
! up to the very last, that part Of it, the spccI
: clause, which is most obnoxious to the Argus aNt
1.-THE shin plaster party and he will not take the hI
5 only because lie cannot hare that obaorlou
: clause inserted in II. And for this the Arsu
e says be has again divorced" himself from tA
: Van Buren, party, that his prophesy last Dece"
Der that he could trust him, and that be WonD
again come out in favor Of the people" IS near
:, verified Admirable casuist, and logIclan On
would think after this that the Argus was about
). become real Tom Benton. hard money man.
- But we, intimates the Argus have most "F'
1t badly ve-ted our spleen in secret" becaN
d Mr.. J: c. Calhoun voted against the Sub l"'
sury Bill. No such thing. We have deteOds
9 Mr., Calhoun'S course. and only regretted that
y was forced to vote against the bill by the req
!. ton Of the specie clause. Mr.. Calhoun Is con
q pletely dirorced" from the bank and ledsD
$. party. Let the Argus be assured of it'll
t trusts in John c. Calhoun, he win most o
in questonably trust in man who will exert al .
u power of his mighty intellect and all the TOD
: ence Of his character against the darling sch'n
: of the Argus, aud his Magnus Apollo S. S. Ps
tiss-a National Bank. lie has now IOde
re "come out in favor Of the people" and the soul
ne and against the Bank.
&c We understand that yesterday seventy ".
G. sand dollars were subscribed to rebuild
Pinckard House. II is to be owned by GU
