MR.. CALHOUN'S LIFE

We publish to-day, sketch of Mr.. Cal
houn's life, believing that many of our
readers will be glad to read it, 1t reaches
only up to 1885. Since that time his life
has been as eyentfu as ever before, in the
same length of time. He took the lead in
1887, in the support Of Mr.. Van Buren's
administraton.-especially on the great
question Of the currency--the separation
of the power and influence of the banks
from the over-grown power of the Govern
ment. Towards the reelection of that
distinguished patriot and statesman, Mr..
Calhoun contributed all the force of his
moral and intellectual character. The
people, however, by a sort of unknown po-
litical ignis fdtuus, against the light of rea-
son and truth, were led insensble to the
brink OF the dark gulf of Federalism -
from being sunk beneath its waves, Mr.
Calhoun has, doubtless done more to rescue
US, than any other man. By the force of
his exalted talents, and his stern, moral
and political virtue, aided by reason and
truth, he has vastly contributed towards
leading US back into I" the way in which
we should CO." and towards the re-estab-
Eishment of republican principles, which is
fast taking place, and of which, we have
such pleasing earnest in the elections
which have taken place throughout the
Union. The Democrats acknowledge him
as their leader, and most proud are they of
| hIu.

"General Duff Green, who has been
now sometime in London, has nearly
brought to a successful issue negotiations
for establishing a system of barter be-
tween some first rate commercial houses
here and an establishment TO be formed al
Cairo, in the West. Vessels are to go di-
rect from this port to the latter, being
freighted with British manufactured goods.
and to return here with American pro-
duce. There are TO be no money trans
actions whatever The General is the
author OF several able letters in the Times

PROF. MAFFiTf'S SECOND LEO
TURE.

The second Of the series of lectures by
Mr.. Maflit was delivered at the Llght-st
Church, OH Friday evening last, the sub
iect of which was Genius.
The orator commenced with brief al
lusion to each of the constituent qualities
of genius, and commenting thereon.
" Genius is display ed, not in grandeur
and magnificence alone; it is seen IN the
cotton-gin, as we'll as the Principal OF
Newton it is in the Had of Homer, as
we'll as the lever of Archimedes; it was
in the song of Miriam; in the plan of
Washington, for the surprise IF CORVALLIS,
at Trenton; il was in the daring Of Ma
poleon at the bridge Of Lodi; it constructs
edIfces, fills up valleys, bridges the At
lantic, and hangs the railway upon The
verge of the mountain cliffs. 1t was the
genius of benevocnce tina, sent Howard
forth on his tour of philanthropy; taught
Wesley to lay down principles whose ex-
cellence was to be felt through long vistas
OF coming generations; and urged Mat
thew, the apostle Of temperance, to the
vast labor he has Undergone, in removing
a plague-spot from the escutcheon OF that
land whose genius has filled the world
with Arbitration, as her sons have emilia
zoned her name upon the scroll OF honor,
with pen OF fire
"Genius was in Caesars 'Veni pidi rici;
twas in the words of Nelson at Trata gar
- Engl land expects every man this day to
do his duty;' in the language OF Franklin,
where liberty dwels, there is my coun
try;' IN the last speech OF Robert Emmett,
Until Ireland is free, let not my epitaph
be written 1t was in that appropriate
thought which adorned the grave of the
dead with the weeping willow, that droop-
ing emblem of perpetual sorrow. Earth,
ocean, thoughts of eternity, and coming
resurrection, were all full of genius.

! Those uho lire in glass houses, should
not thrOm stones"

A writer in the Mississippi Creole, who
adopts the miSnOmer of Candour. saw fit to
attack our first editorial, and since then,
he has continued to send his weekly mis-
sles at us. Now, we could not object to
this if we would, and, most surely, we
would not if we could. Our political prin-
cples are like precious metals, the more
you rub them, the more beautiful and brill
liant they will appear; we would, there
fore, rather inuite han auoid attacks upon
them. Besides, when we reared our stan
dard here, on the strong grounds of the
enemy, we did not expect that Federalism
would stand, quietly and unmurmurlngly
by and permit us to encamp upon ground of
VIII ich they had been so long in the undis-
turbcd possession, and on which they had
so long been accustomed to play "such fan
tastic tricks,' with noue TO modest or
make them afraid" But we confess we
did not expect such sudden attacks; though
we care not how thick and fast they come,
30 long as We can see our enemy the
fight is then fair. 1--WE wish always to know
our adversary, and for him to be known
and accordingly on the day his first attack
appeared, we informed Candour, through
our columns, that, if he would publish his
name, together with the book and page
wherein to find the authority he quoted
against us, he might expect response to
his piece. On these conditions we were
then, and are now, anxious to
Meet Bombastes face to face"
He refused to comply with either cond-
ton. In declining TO give his name, he as
| simulated himself to Junus-(the business
of which assimilation, we shall not question:
and concluded that it was far more pro-
per that his name, like the birth Of Napoleon,
should be {" shrouded in the solitude Of its
own originality" Now we confess we
had no right 10 demand his real name, yet,
certainly, we had a right to expect frank
avowal of it, from one who claimed TO be the
verv personifcation OF Candow. But we
had right to demand of Candour, the shook
and page" that we might have all the tes-
timony against us--that we might know the
witness and the circumstances under which
he testified, so that We might impeach his
crediblity or competency, or rebut his tes-
tmonv, by that of other witnesses more au-
thentic. But the witness was politically in
famous, and did not believe in the Virginia
and Kentucky resolutions, the political bible
upon which he must needs have been
sworn before he would be competent to tes-
tify as to our supposed political sins. 1t
would not do, therefore, to confront the
witness with us-we were asked TO take
him upon trust, as the Wings do their pre-
sdents the " book and page" were no.

test of the President, as being among the
best models of our parliamentary history
affords.
In the present sketch of Mr.. Calhoun.
career, only the outlines of his poItica
life and conduct have been given. Many
important particulars have, from necessi.
". Been entirely Quilted, and space now
remains 10 add only short notice OF his
family, his person, and his private charac-
ter. and to make few concluding re-
marks.
On The 9Th of May, 1911, Mr.. Calhoun
was married TO Miss Floride Calhoun, the
daughter of John Ewing Calhoun, FORMER
" a Senator in Congress of great respec-
liability, from South Carolina. They have
seven children, five of them are sons, and
two daughters,
In his person, Mr.. Calhoun is slender
and tall. His countenance at rest is strlk-
ingly marked by decision and tirmneSs.
In conversation, it is highly animated, ex-
pressiye, and Indicative of genius. His
ewes are large, dark brilliant, and penetrat-
mo and leave no doubt at first view of a
hi9h order of intellect. His manners are
easv. natural. and unassuming, and as
,ra6k as thew are cordial and kind. He
has none of the cautious reserve and mvs.
terry of common politicians; but is access
sible to al, agreeable, instructive, and elo-
ouent in conversation, and communicates
his opinions with the utmost freedom and
unreserve.
In all his d nestle relations his life is
without blemish.
As an orator, he stands in the foremost
rank of parliamentary speakers. On first
rising in debate, he has ever felt the anXi-
ETY. of diifidence, which is almost always
the companion of genius. His manner of
speaking is energetic, ardent, rapid, and
marked by a solemn eafnesmess, which
inspires full belief in his sincerity and
deep conviction. His style is iorcibIe, To-
gical and condensed; often fgIrative for
illustration, never for ornament. His
mind is amply stored with the fruits of
learning, but still more with those of OBJ
servation and reflection. Hence depth,
originality, and power, characterize all
his efforts.
AS statesman, in the most large and
elevated sense of the term, he hls no SUI
perior; for to the highest intellectual pow
ers, he unites those elevated moral quail.
ties, which are equally essential with "a
biity TO complete the character of pei
feet statesman--inhexibIe integrity-hon-
or without stain, disinterestedness, tenn
pcrance, and industry; a firmncss of pur-
pose which disdains to calculate the con-
sequence of doing his duty prudence and
energy in action, devotion to his country,
and an inextinguishable love OF liberty
and justice.
