New CALHOUN MovEMENT-It is really pity to
see the manner in which John C. Calhoun is COM
promising his interests in this quarter, in allowing
himself to be taken up and supported by parcel of
Old women in breeches, who are as ignorant of the
real state Of popular feeling upon the ensuing presl-
dental election as they are unacquainted with all
practical knowledge of life
Who are the leaders of the Calhoun party who
are now vainly attempting to get up District Dele
ton to the Baltimore Convention to defeat the
nomination of Martin Van Burenl They are
clique OF small literary gentry, who in the winter
season may usually be found in their dressing gowns
around their seacoal fires reading the latest novels,
or, perhaps, attending some elegant soirfe; and in
the summer season you may see them at the fashion
able watering places, driving upon the sea Shore or
laying OIL at great length beneath some piazza or
shady tree
II is charity to Mr.. Calhoun to advise him to
separate his fortunes from such cli9ucs. IF these
are his friends, ae may well say, "Save me from
my friends" He may rest assured that he has no
possible chance of receiving the nomination by the
democratic party, and that Martin Van Buren, is as
certain to be nominated by the Convention at Balt-
more, as that Convention is to meet
But although Van Buren, should be nominated
yet there is another element in operation which

Of fulness and accuracy. This is seen at glance
And thus the public can at once learn where the
real talent in reporting exists-where it is to be

public have learned all that long ago. We have
repeatedly shown that in accuracy, fidelity and
despatch, our reporting department is unequalled in
this country-and it is impossible for any paper in
the city, out Of it, to compete with U.S. Our ar
engagements are of such nature that we will retain
our superiority in this respect. And as for the
miserable creatures who characterize our reports of
the eloquent and patriotic speeches at the American
Republican meetings, as forgeries, they will find
out to their sorrow next April that they have had

peal movement here, thus marches with impudent
and undisguised front to the very citadel of our
liberties? But we may spare our exhortatons
10 duty at such a crisis. The simple facts
speak in tones of thunder They proclaim
in manner which cannot be mistaken,
the approach of that torrent which now gurgling
and boiling amid the ravines and recesses of the
hills, will by and by sweep with resistess fury over
the plain, srewing il far and wide with wreck and
ruin.
Webelieve there is no safety from the impending
danger except in the firmness and energy of the
new party-the American Republicans. To their
patriotism and virtue we look for protection against
this influx of foreign influence, which is gathering
round it the fanacal of our own native population,
and the designing, hostile, and priest-rdden bands
who are yearly pouring into the country; and in
this party we have hope and confidence The
American Republicans appear to have taken the
Popes bull by the horns and all the little bulls from
the big beggarman, Dan O'Connell, in Dublin, to
the little beggarman, John McKeon, in New York !
NEWSPAPER REpoRrlNa.-A good deal has been
said. recently by some Of the newspapers about
newspaper reporting The enterprise, talent and
skill which we have so successfully employed in
this most important department, have awakened
the jealousy and envy of our contemporaries, who
affect to despise and abuse that which they would
willingly possess if they could-very much in the
spirit of the ancient spinster who turns up her pr
dish at the grace, beauty, and girlsh freedom
of sweet sixteen. Our reports Of the movements
of the American Republican party-executed with
great care and fidelity, and which have excited so
much attention all over the Union, have been at
tackled with peculiar violence. They have been
characterised as forgeries-as les-as fudgery-
every thing discreditable of which the vocabulary
of the Five Points could furnish epithets. The
creatures have gone so far as deny the very
meetings those speeches were delivered, and thus
made themselves the laughing stock of the whole
community.
In relation, however, to newspaper reporting, we
enabled to present very Ineligible specimens of
two styles or systems-one is that accurate, faith
full, and at the same time finished style in which
the reports of the Herald are produced the other is
that general style which gives the substance of
what speaker says, but not his exact words, and
which does not aim at much elegance of execution
one is the result of mechanical skill combined with
genius and brains; the other, of mechanical skill
alone There was meeting at the Exchange on
Saturday last, all our readers aware for the
purpose of adopting measures to effect reform of
the present Post Office system. The Express
newspaper, which has been the principal promul-
gator of the charge of forgery against reports
employed on this occasion Mr.. r. Sutton, formerly
reporter at Washington, to compete with us. We
now annex specimens of the relative accuracy and
fullness of the two reports

Progress OF Abolition In the United States
Foreign Inlluence-the Union in Danger.

The history of the progress Of the abolition move

sents some features so remarkabe--so instructive
and so full of warning, that they ought TO be known
throughout the length and breadth of the land and
awaken and alarm every true lover of his country,
and the stability of its institutions. II is but short
time since the aboitionists were petty faction of
fanatics-a contemplate band of Missionaries, whose
vagaries excited only ridcule and pity. Thus in
1910, they numbered only about six thousand
throughout the whole extent of the Union. Will
it be believed that since that time-in the brief
space of three years-this petty faction this little
clique of sic thousand individuals, has increased
into a wel-organized party, with its, ramhcations
everywhere, numbering sIxTy-FIvE THOUSAND men,

friends of the Union, nothing will do it but the tu-
mutuous din of the national fabric laundering in

unquestionable, startling figures, may be read the
lesson Of warning and monition to duty, which
