1.-THE style is coarse imitation, in
added to favor the imputation which
he Whigcry Of Congress Is busily
Dfopagating-that it is the work ola
democrat ofinnuence, who Is known
10 prefer anothcr's presidential pre-
len.ions TO Mr.. Calhoun's. The fraud
ID this respect is so palpablc, that we
nre gratiiied to perceive il has con
tracted its purpose, and instead of ex-
Asperating the feelings on which it
was intended to work, has had direct
ly the contrary effect.
As, however, this circular may be
Scattered far and wide through the
country, and where its true character
may not be detected, we think it
duty to our cause--whose strength
consistsin union, in mutual confidence
and fair dealing towards every MEM
Der of the party engaged in its sup
porto notice charges so insduouS-
ly assailing Mr.. CALHOUN.
The circular, in its warning to the
Democracy, asserts that Mr.. CALHOUN
"does not intend to abide by nation
al conventions" that his sobject is to
pick quarrel with the Democracy,
and 10 force the party to take him, or
else incur the evil of 'disunion or Sc
cess;on;' that elf he fails In this, he
is resolved to divide the party, and
march his division over to the FEEDER
alists;" that che will next sanction
the measure OF assumptions" "he aoiH
giUc up State Rights" and that "thus
treaty will be effected between Mr.
Webster and Mr.. CALHOUN"
The simple reorganization Of the
charges the circular is sufficient to
convince the well-informed that it
emanated from the councils OF the
enemies of Democracy. 1t seeks to
provide the disunion against whichit
warns, and attributes the design to
one whose own hopes ofhonor and re-
nown d pend on its prevention.
We cannot speak for NJ. Calhoun
on this subject, for we have not had
one word with him in reference to it.
the manner in which this libel is put
before the public, places beneath his
notice. Its, however proper that the
Democratic press here should declare
the impressions held in regard to it.
We believe that Mr.. CALHOUN is sim
cerely devoted to the Democratic
party; that, as means to effect this
object, he will promote the universal
wish heparty, in procuring through
national convention, an honest ex-
preston Of its will in regard to its
candidates for the principal Offices of
the Government; that he will, abide
by its decision, whether it COMFORTS
with his own inclinations or not;
that he will, under no circumstances,
seek to divide the Democratic party.
or march any division of it TO the
Federalsts; that on the contrary, he
will oppose Federalism in all its as
poets, with all his hne abilities, to the
last extremity; that he will oppose
assumption or distribution in every
shape; that he will oppose National
Banking and National paper curren-
cy, under all notifications that he
will resist encroachment on STATE
RIGHTs, with his accustomed vigil
ance, and energy, and especially re.
pei, with utter abhorenc, the sugges-
ton of a treaty with Mr.. Webster
the onemy Of all the State.right prin-
ciples Belonging to the compact Of
union, and peculiarly hostile in every
doctrine which South Carolina has
advanced for their protection.
The character given to Mr.. Rhett
in this circular is, in our opinion
equally unjust. Mr.. .Rhett is man
of talents-of indePendence--of ele'
waited feeling-of upright morals-o
