MIR. Cnlloun,s Prospects.

We have heretofore stated that Resolutions
nominating JOHN C. CALHOUN for next President
were laid on the table of the Senate of Georgia by
vote of 45 to 39-(the Yeas mainly Wings, of
course.) We have since learned through the
Glsbe (for Georgia papers have failed for tw.
OF three days past) that, the return of several
Members who had been absent these Resolutions
were taken up and passed "by triumphant ma
.lority." This indicates almost entire unanmlty on
the part of the Georgia LocoF ocos in favor Of Mr.
Calhoun. which inference The appointment of o
full Calhoua Delegation to the proposed National
Convention confirms Three of the Delegates are
Messrs. Colquitt, Cooper and Black. the Members
of Congress who abandoned the Wing and went
over to the Loco Foco party the nomination o.
Gen. Harrison. They arc known to be ardent
and influential Calhoun men. Mr.. Colqsitt is the
U. S. Senator elect for six years from March next,
We are somewhat disappointed in this complete
ascendancy of Calhounism in Georgia, thosgh VIC
knew Mr.. Van Busea was always personally un-
pepuar. .,herc-so decidedly that, with the power
full support ofihs erainent and now departed John
Forsyth, he has never obtained Presidential Vote
from the State. Bu, MIR. Calhoun has been the
objec, of earlier and bittcrer hatred in Georgia
than Mr.. Van Bsrea, growing out Of his powerful
and vehement opposition TO Mr.. Crawford in
1884, and kept alive by his antagonism to Gen
Jackson in 1876. Ii would seem that this
breach hassb been entirely healed.

sion if his friends think proper to do SO at all
backed BY the ca,ire n-plan,ing interest, and
by nearly all the real, unqualified Free-Tra .
strength of the Country. The .iockeying point-no-
peint incidental Free Traders will naturally go fol
Van Buren,; and it now seems NEST likely that
Z personal influences will carry with them Virginia
sad Tennessee, which would naturally go with the
SoAth. New-Hampshire and Maine arc expected
to so for Calhsun in the Convention; we know moi
with how much reason. Pennsylvania will proba-
bly, cast her thirty votes for Mr. Buchanan on the
first ballot, and then so for her second choice which
may esJohnsos, Cass or Calhoun, as she probably
would prefer either TO Van Buren,. Kentucky is
committed to Col. r. NJ. Johnson; Indiana looks
,ha, way; and we have Van Buren, authority from
Jefferson CITY that the Missouri Legislature is very
equally divided estween johnson aud Van Buren
Considering the eaersy and perseverance, with
which Senator Benton has labored for Van Buren,
we believe this conclusive that the people of ,ha,
State prefer new candidate.
Although our saying so will probably do harm
10 his cause. we cannot refrain from expressing
our hope that Mr.. Calhsun viii yet be the candi-
date ef the united Loco-Foco host asains, Mr.
Clay in the next Presidential campaign. Since
she memorable contest between Adams and Jeaier
son, there have never been two candidates pi,,ed
against each other for President who SO apsly rep
resented tbs essential priaciplss OF their respec-
tive parties. Each is Statesman OF whom the
Marion should be proud, and, when the passions
of the hour shall have subsidized, ,ciii be proud
OF Mr., Clay we need not here express the admi-
ration we feel; bur if any thing could reconcile
