A WING SKETCH OF Mr.. CAL
HOUN,

A Mr.. Thayer, who reported the New
York Wing resolutions from committee,
and is designated as ga great favorlte with
the party as a speaker, thus sketches the
character of Mr. Calhoun:
"CalhOun is, indeed a man of great
powers; but, if | understand his character
right, he is a man who never has more
than one idea in his head at one time.
He has great powers Of concentration.
He can bring them down TO brilliant 70
Gus; and any subject which he thus touch
es meIts and runs away before him. But
he wants the power of diffusion. He is
fitted neither for Legislative nor executive
Office"
If this Mr.. Thayer has ever clearly
even some idea in his head at one ,ime,"
it is more than can be satisfactorily ascer-
tanned from his speech. He certainly
does not swami the power of diffusion;''
for "any subject which he touches melts
and runs away before him." so that you
can see nothing but words, words. words;
and it is greatly to be regretted by his
readers that "he has not great powers Of
concentrations" and scan not bring them
down to brilliant focus" What "he is
fitted for" it would be no easy matter, we
take it, to determine; but, thus perched SC
confidently on Mr.. Calhoun and his
''great powers" he looks very like

THE RESULT OF THE TENNESSEE

We are enabled 10 give our readers the re-
suit Of this hard fought contest Each party

it terminated in the triumph ofthe Wings.

the arrangement ofihe Districts, the Wings
have but Eve members ofCOngress, whilst the

The States Of North Carolina, Kentucky,

that State was deprived representation in the
U. 5. Senate BY The unwarraniable conduct q
the Loco FOeos, who controlled the Senate Of
Tennessee, had excited very general and
just indignation against that party there, and
the whole Wing party Of the Union desired to
see them receive q proper rebuke from the
PEOPLE for their facloious opposition to the
spirit Of our Constitution. Another cause,
which operated to increase the interest, with
which the elections in that State were watched
