somebody, who, if he has any name, chooses not, or
dases not let himself be known to the world-takes US
10 task for saying Connecticut is sure for Mr.. Van

that not more than of our four Congressman IS
for Mr. Calhoun. "Three of the four the firm
undertaking friends Of Nr Calhoun, says the Patriot

of the Democracy of Connecticut, but IS SO by
whelming majority all opposition, whether it
comes from the friends of Mr.. Calhoun, any other
Democratic candidate for the Presidency; and when
the electors to The National Convention come TO be
chosen that fact will be apparent as the blazing light
at MONDAY.
We re,erate The declaration, that but one of our
Congressman IS for Mr.. Calhoun and We say further,
that he could never have been elected or nominated II
his paralilies for presidential candidate had been
made test. Popular and worthy as he is as man,
he could never have ridden INTO Congress with MIR
