Calhoun, il is stated, feeling his Southern s,iaa

This answer was not sufficient, it appears
for the President, for it is said he wrote to Mr..
Calhoun very plausible and artful letter, asking
his opinion on some matter Of public interes.
Mr. Calhoun replied to the letter and said, that as
the President Of he United States had requested
his opinion, he would cheerlully grant the request

A QUERE.

We would respectfully inquire the Globe whe
Their the following articles embrace and truly state
the faith of the Loco-focoSub Treasury party. If
it cannot deny that they do beg inquire of the
Richmond Enquirer how the doctrines will suit
Virginia and whether there is not, therefore, more
than one question involved in our controversy with
the Sub.treasuryites
a. Uncompromisng hostility to corporations in
general.
2. Opposition to all banks in particular the de-
sruction of bank credit and the substitution Of metal
as acirculating medium.
3. The prostration of the independence of the Ju-
dietary, and that law of proprety by which Judges
are excluded from participation in the conflicts of
mere party strife.
A. Opposition to that great principle of Republi-
cansm which lies at the foundation of free GO
vernment-the inviolabili,y Of contracs--and the
sacredness of public faith.
5. The extnguShment Of the heretofore acknow-
lodged principle Of the Constitution that il Is the right
and the duty of the National Government to provide
a National Currency for the people
6. And a means Of disseminating these doc
trnes the dissemination of jealousies among dife-
rent classes of men, in respect their profession or
calling, or condition in life

Whether this distinguished individual" and
commander shall continue in the midst Of the
battle" patiently and becomingly to Withstand It's
heat still longer appears to Inc, depend alogeth-
err upon the final acceptance and ratification Of the
terms proposed by himself.
In his last regular communication to Congress,
he informs that body that the fiscal affairs Of the
Government cannot hereafter, under any. system, be
managed with such facility aud yigor as the public
service requires without adopting several legal pro-
visions" Among these powers may be enumerated
one toinvest surplusses OF revenue where they may
happen, and 10 dispose Of them when DEFICIENCIES
may require il. Another to issue Treasury notes
when DEFICIENCIES arise in the Treasury; and 10 re-
deem them when ercesses may happen: and, another;
that additional duties Of general repositories be i'm
posed on all receivers and collectors of public mo
ney, and on the mint and its branches as well the
Treasurer at The seat of Government
1t may reasonably be inferred that the present IN
cumbent oflhe Treasury Department, spoke only for
himself when he said, that without the adoption OF
several legal provisions, (of which the above are
part the fiscal affairs of the Government cannot
hereafter be managed with such facility and vigor
as the public service requires therefore, II Con-
gress does not adopt these provisions by legislative
enactment the +" commander" must, Of course,
"leave the ground" even in the midst Of a battle"
That all or either OF the above named provisions,
(Which are the most importanD will be adopted by
Congress, but few, II any, candidly expect or be-
iIeve. "....#

W would not be- agilated again by the revival Of this
measure by the House.
Mr.. BENTON pronounced The last remarks of
Mr.. Webster TO be denunciaion Of the House. Il
denounced them as agitators, upon the report that
they were about to proceed in The regular discharge
Of their duty.
Mr.. WEBSTER replied that he would not allow
such peryerson Of his words and meaning by any
one here; for, however little effect IL might have
here he had learned that il night elsewhere be used
with great effect He said thai a revival of the Sub
Treasury bill would produce agitation; il would
create alarm apprehension, and new uncertainty
as to business. As TO the House Of Representatives

reject any correlative obligations But they were
able to take care of themselves" aos tall aariliO

man come to Congress, who has forsaken his

Treasury. Let them carry out the re-organi-

Mi, Calhoun is getting golden opinions nowadays.
The Commercial Advertiser says He is pure patriot,
an excellent statesman and Of the noblest spirits OF
the age Several papers have, within few days, ut
tered similar paudils The Nulers seem TO be among
The finest politicians Of the age just now. We are not
disposed TO find fault with these praises, for there is
great deal Of reason for them. But they sound strange
" to ears upon which the ylest eprosches, uttered
Ivy the ssme men, yet lingering Last year these
Nnlhers were traitors, rebels, ambitious men, who
would divide their country that they might be supreme
over part Of IT, Then complaints derlded as hy-
pocnlicai, and sooner than yield TO them II was
said the country should be shaken its foundations
Now party changes have brought these Nulliers upon
the side Of their former enemies aud they the
sweetest, prettiest lovely men in all creation"
The Commercial Advertiser might now take
the same article, and by only substituting the
name of the Globe, in place of its own, it
would be as applicable to the present as il was
to the past time, when it was written, between
which periods the opposite position Of certain
parties have been assumed.
In the same number Of the Globe, we find
the following, copied from Pennsylvania
paper
/ "Could the influence Of Clay and Calhoun prevail in
the House. as well as appears TO us IN the Senate,
should soon have second edition Of the famous Rump
parliament"
We have only TO substitute the name either
of MIR. Wright or Benton for that Of Mr..
Clay now, and the article is fully as ap-
plcable to the present condition Of things, as
il was to those that existed at the time it found
a place in the columns Of the Globe.
We ask again who have changed!

Not the Conservatives. They stand now
where they did in 1891. It's the Sub-,reasury
party which has abandoned their principles of
that day and united with those whom they
then dcrided. ~.
