THE cABINEr-wHIG scRIDnIEns.Mn; CALHOUN
JUDGE UPSHUR-MR. LEGARE.
The Wing writers in the Courier may spare them
selyes the trouble of conecturing TO Mr. Cahonns
position towards MIR. Tyler, or the causes of It, lhey
need not attribute 10 Mr. Calhoun or his friends any
disappointment. The disappointment Of the Extra
Session belongs altogether to the Wings Mr. Calhoun
meyer offered his ahclp Mr.. Tyler, aspred Ike
f,,,r n he dictator over him. When Rives iealousy
asked of Mr. Calhoun in the Senate If he had made
any advances proposed any conditions to thu ffes'
dent in private Mr.. Calhoun promptly answered that
he differed in taste with the Virginia Senator choosing
to act upon the President and let his position oe
known not priratsiy, but by his public decarations
that he had had no personal intercourse with Mr.. Iy
Ter for months und would say before the Senate all he
had to say to him, ri- that If besides the Bank, MI.
TYLER would the Land bill, and thus shew HIM
self thorough 10 the constitutional party he
would support his administration OF his party
but not otherwise II not expected by any one at
Ter that declaration, and Tylcrs signing the Land Bill,
that he would have called any of Mr.. Calhouns De.
mocratc friends 10 his Cabinet Indeed none of them
would have accepted place in II, 80 far from any DIS
appointment being possble
The appointment of Judge UPshur, warm admfel
of Mr. Calhoun, would certainly be more than suilcrnt
neutralizc any feeling of drspleasure, had any oeeh
likely TO arise from the appointment OF Mr. Lcgatf'
which writer in the Courier suggests must be d'sasle
fu 10 us. exhibiting a1r. Jylers profound respect
TO Mr. Calhoun and his organ
Now Judge Upshur is a politician OF em'nence'
who can MAXI himself felt in the politics of the coun
try; and if we desired il, could much more lais
infer that his appointment proceeded from respect -
Mr. Calhoun. or from desire 10 concillate him, lhan
that there was any intended disrespect IN the appoint
ment of so comparatively obscure and feeble Poica
a. il Mr. Ieuare whom we differ with our correspond

him Office VIVA, our correspondent says of Mr. ~
49, oh;ect;nq 10 utwo suns in the armament oil the
Sor,h i misunderstood BY the Courier it seems
The nilusion was to Calhoun and Tyler, not to Cal
honn and Leqare! As to Mr.. Legares appointment
.o think we can safely say that It has given pleasure
n Mr. Calhoun rather than other feeling. we are
sure ha, he feels kindly towards Mr. Legare as gen.
lemsn and scholar, and as Caronan takes pride in
his ornamental qualities and wishes him well, and
though he is not The man he would select tor any IN.
uortant political trusts very well SATISFIED and GLAD
TO see him placed in honorable position, where
he will be useful and which is better suited 10 HIM
Than the arena Of politics If Mr.. Legare does enter
tain foolishly any preposlerous jealousy envy Of
Mr. Calhoun, we are very that it matters very
little to MIR. Calhoun and that he has never felt any
harmless enmity from that quarter sufficient to resen,
the curiosity Of such antipathy-but he has
cognized Mr.. Legare political enemy.
For ourselves, we that We express with our
own the sentiments of political friends generally
when we say that we are gratifed with Mr. Legares
anpoiu,ment believing that lie will we'll fill his office,
and be an ornament TO it. We are accustomed not 10
regard Mr.. Legare rs poliliclan-poltcs being out
of his line-not bis element We readily overlook any
political errors i'll such man in our desire that he
should be cherished for the characteristics for which ne
really is valuable and for which State may we'll
take pride in him, his erudl;ion and forensic eo-
ouence We are graifed al his advancement and wish
him wel-( Charleston .H5Tcgr3.
