toast drunk at that place, against United States

We cannot mistake his neat handwriting, but he
mistakes u.s. We have not gone over to Mr..
Cnhoun--he has rather come orer to US, as he is
noW supporter Of the leading measures Of the
administration 70 which We have always been
friendly. We thought Mr.. Calhoun carried his
views OF the doctrine Of State rights too Far, and
We condemned him FOR it, we also thought that
he was wrong, very wrong in opposing the admin
lstratIon upon the subject Of the French indemri-
y, and We condemned him for that also. HI is
ao~ the champion, in the Senate Of constiu.
tlonal Treasury against an unconstitutional bank,
and we cnogise him fort. Surely there is no
inconsistency in this. We have not "mtmatcd
our readiness to support Mr. Calhoun" OF any
ono else lor lie next Presidency. II, after the
close Of Mr.. Van Buren's second term, Mr. c.
should be taken up by tie Republicans party for
the Presidency, he shall have our hearty support.

W There was passage at arms between Mcssrs
Calhoun and Preston in the Senate, a few days ago
in WHICH the former was laid PROSTATE, and bound
down TO the earth, so ellectuay that he could
move neither limb nor muscle. We intended to
have copied this morning, but regret that we are
compelled to defer it until our next. We looked
over the last Washington Chronicle to see if that
paper would not endeavor TO relieve its gyved and
iettered champlon-And what think our readers, is
the pot-ee-cy of Mr.. Cahoun's organ! Why, it
publishes Mr.. Cahoun's speech in full, and then
adds" after some remarks from 1Nessrs Preston
and 1alimadgc, the question was taken" &c
Why did it not publish these ''rcmarks"! Did it
fear to let its readers its champion unhorsed I'M
helmeted, disarmed and PROSTATE beaten in his
own field oflogic and what is more with his own
weapons! The Chronicle is quite discreet, we adj
mt-but it is at the same time most unjust to Mr..
Preston.
