whatever. AS our maxim is "never vary in

and would suggest that a meeting be held at the

purpose of promoting the cause of education in

JOHN c. CALHOUN.

While Calhoun acted in concert with the
Feds. they could see no wrong in hin--he was
self-devoted patriot-a victim to the cruelty
and selfshness of Gen. Jackson and Martin Van
Buren,, but now when he refuses any longer to
lend his aid to secure the success of party that
would bring irretrievable ruin on the country,
and withdraws himself from this hellsh league
composed for the purpose of wrestling from the
people their liberties, and enslsving them to
monied aristocracy, they cry aloud in their
wrath against him, end denounce him as aiming
at dissolution of the Union. But this is not
all, they must 60 further. Knowing that Mr..
Calhoun, by his regeneration; has rendered
himself obnoxious to the censure of all parties,
they vainly hope by associating his name with
that of Martin Van Buren,, to render the latter
alike unpopular; because Calhoun happens to
concur with the Executive in something's, they
are said to "go together in all their measures"
what could be more grossly false?) and .'that
Mr.. Van Buren, favors Mr.. Calhoun's project for
the severance of the confederacy." How lost to
every principle of truth and honesty must be
hose who can send forth to the public such base
abrications under the sanction of news! When
'ur ears are daily shocked with such gross and
'nfounded falsehoods, we may we'll exclaim

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.

To all who have a taste for literature, and a
national pride, we confidently commend the a.

Truly devoted to the interests of the South and
purely southern in its tone and character, the
Messenger has the strongest claims upon the
patronage of those who are won't with pride to
say of the South, "this is my own my native
land" The February number has at length
found it's way hither, laden, like its predeces-
sors, with the richest materials for fcasting the
mind. Among many other excellent original
productions, we have only time to notice "The
