calhoun against the Administrations
Werecently gave what we considered to be q
correct showing of the present political position
of John c. Calhoun. We showed, we think, that
he was Van Buren, man no farther than he sup
posed he could make such connection subser-
Went or useful to other and more important mat
tiers, in his own estimation and designs. But we
were not then aware that matters between him
and the Administration had so ripened as that a
formal opposition to it had been avOwed by him.
1t ought, however,, to have been expected, The
connection between them was illicet;-it was
spurious, the match was TOO hastily gotten up, and
the bands were solemnised in mockery of the ces
remones of the church. The wounds Of the old
conflict between them had not vet began to heal
The banded epithets of caumny and reproach,
which had so recently passed between them yet
trembled upon their tongues, when the honeyed
| union took place. Under such circumstances,
and with such motives as must have inArenced
the parties, how could the union be ezpscted TO
last longer than interest should POnt ioambi-
ton some other course?

cured to Mr.. Calhoun 50 ne liberty Of opiR-
ion, and freedom from ck. He has ceased
TO be a democrat. Although be proposed
the administration lis hour Of utmost
need-although, fol ae sole benefit Of the
administration, he sacrificed his entire pow
er in the South, and ia impossible barrier
between himself and Is old party. Il has not
availed him. Deluded BY a consciousness
of the greatdebt which the administration
owed him, relying too upon sense Of his
power, in an imprudent hour he TashIy ven-
tured to question the inspirations 81 MahO-
met-he would not accept ihe doctrine
which Benton preached-and IInig htway
he is an INFIDEL! Mr.. Calhoun would him
self be a prophet, and the only true .orhet!
He performed profame claim to the rsve-
lation Of the golden currency, and dis aied
to bis teeth, with the prophet, the pate.r'.
ty of the Sub-treasury. He was reckless
enough to stand up ia defence Of his or

proclaimed the compromise a hUmbuQ, and

been manifold. and his sins stopped not
here. He would not only take the south
from the prophet, BY laying claim 10 the sub.

from him, bygiving away altogetherand for
ever, the lands which be was Cor holding in
his hands and selling at half price to suit
