THE LION AND THE LAMs.

The Millentes must &c tainly he right: the lat
ier-day is approaching. the savage beast hat
lid ASIDE his f.rcenes', and his prey all fear. "Th
young Child sports with the crested snake, and tn,
lion handles tho young kd"-a very curious dry
nurse, certainly, for his kdshi2.
The YIck,burg Sentinel states with confidence
tina, q personal reconciliation has been brough
" about between Gen Jackson and Mr. Ca houn.
Upon this, the Mobile Register, the leading Loco
foco paper in Alabama, remarks:
We hope this is true. Between two men O.
"sueh GENEROUS natures. aher lapse OF six or So.
ven years since they stood in violent opposition
"ss public men. such personal aeereitSs as pre-.
vented them IN the heat Of political rva.reS Il on
doing iuli justice 10 each Others motives, mus
be soothed II not entirely diss pled."
Ga! generous natures" is iil Singular gero
rosiIies these, which reconcile opposed by every
thing that IL furious hostility, the mos, bite
and dishonouring mutual denunciation, and amos
every public ard private injury could place 10.
tween two individuals.
For full four years Of Gen. Jaekson's later public
life, nothing IS more notorious than that it was hI
eonilnusl won't to denounee Mr. c., by. every fou
epithst that he could lavish, aiding them by All tha
force OF pious pleiives for which he was famous
and the very name Of that Statesman at last b,cam
to him an universal resort, whenever he spoke Of
bad and dangerous man, and wished to give an u
tren, idea of his niquiiy;the always said, then
by the Eternal, Sir! he Is an Internal scoundrel
a most gres, villain, Sir, a. John G. Calhoun .
There was nothing which he spared TO crush him,
from his usrfsro Of impious vtupsrstion, 10 pub
lie measures, aimed, with the whole force Of the 60
Vsfnmen,, at his State. in which no would bsv,
willingly cut every thros,j ia order TO reach Il q
Of a Personal enemy.
But he generou5l man that never ye, spared
one that had fallen before him; who could DELFT 0
rsIsly, Of private hate, in 6u.l, when his adver
Iary mad missed him, lower his pistol, button up hi
cost, gaze a moment TO enjoy the look Of the bray
but doomed man in his povef-lbtn slowly rsis
h's weapon with cool ain, and shoo. him throug
the h.srli That is Gsn1 Jsekson's sort Of genO
rosiy.
On Mr. Calhoun's eide, there is perfec, know
Isdle Of the iefoeious character Of the man, an
that nothing but his policy ever yet mtsaIed hi
halo. Never did he forgive any man, except 10 di,
arm him forever. When he does not s.anghte
those who Offer to surrender, it is because he in
tends to make slaves OF tLom. II is a hate su
more cruel than ssnsuinory, ond which knows
deeper vengeance than that Of death-the eHtrsm
, Of nbhsemsn,.
We ourselves have strong occasion TO belisv
that the reconciliation in question dates more than
year back and that Nj Calhoun's formal subu,is
sion and regular and humble suppleaton for PSF

inc. Mr. B., We believe, msde bot little secret

squaI'y extreme feud with "Ihs Northern man vii
Southern principles" "his personal relations" "a
