"We rejoice at these demonstrations in
favor Of Mr.. Calhoun, not merely because
we regard him MS man OF genius, ability
and integrity, but because we regard him
as the natural and fitting antagonist of
Henry Clay. While the politics Of these
two statesmen antipodes, there are many
points Of striking resemblance ia their
characters. Each is ardent IN his tenn

10 his movements, and animated by deep
enduring interests of,he country. Either

COL, WEBB,

indictment, on the 18th Of October last,
for fighting his celebrated duel with the
Hon. r. F. Marshall. TO the genial sur.

a plea Of Justification, written by himself,
10 which he made most mastery and
powerful defence.
The Court considered the indictment

charged him. Had he been convicted, i,
is said, the Governor would have pardoned
him insaner.
DuelIng is reict of barbarism and 20
say the least of il, foolish and savage. We
heartily disupprove of it, and SO does near
lIy all who engage in it: but they are
forced into it by public opinion; arbitrary
tyruncal public opinion, If challenged
and the party has the hardlhood, or mora
courage to refuse to fight, he is branoed a
coward, and excluded from the pale O
honorable gentlemen. This to aprou
and sensitive man, is ten fold worse tina
death. lie is gOaded to desperaton.-
What must he do-fght or be disgraced
That he should do the former, is not aston
lshiug, and in doing so, he should be rathe

05-Judge Story who, though not Chiel
Justice, may be Justly considered at the
head of the Supreme Court of the United
States, has lately made decision in bank

A. filed his petition on the 81 February
last, and was decred bankrupt on the 81
of May; on the ooh Of February, the
Ibankrupt's mother died intestate, and left
$4,000, half Of which descended to him as
one of her heirs, which was claimed by his
assignee for the benefit Of his creditors
After mature elaboration, Judge Sto:y
decided that The assignee was entitled to
bankrupt's dislributive share of his moth
er's estate, for the benefit of his creditors.
A contrary decision has been made, we
believe in Pennsylvania. But Judge
Story is so distinguished for legal acumen
and learning, that we have no doubt, his
construction Of the act will be adopted by
the Supreme Court. If so, many of the
unfortunate bankrupts will have to dis
