/ IL Mr.. Clay and III. CGlhoua.-We publish
ed an article last week from the Raleigh Register
stating tIat Mr.. Calhoun had made a VISIT of
friendship to President Van Buren, Mr.. Clay
having heard Of the visit took occasion to refer
TO il in the Senate on the 81 instant, when quite
an angry passage at arms took place between
them. Mr.. Calhuun acknowledged in his remarks
that the best part Of the meaSuresof the present
Chief Magistrate ~ere approved by him and he
teds happy Of the opportunity If making these
declarations and he you'd stGpd 10 them" We
have long since believed that Mr.. Calhoun, in all
his movements, was governed by an eye to the
Presidency, and his object no doubt in the pre-
sent case is to supplant Benton in the affections
Of the President, SO that he may be his successor
The remarks that passed between them will be

wariness and caution. found one of his
