From the Daily Morning Pot.
'Mr Calhoun" SAYS lhe Nantucket ISLANDER has
we suspect more friends the North than the South.
Bot for his idoiic inch word prefer to dannabe.
tina only other that with truth bc used) views on
slavefy he would he more popular AT the North than
nny other man.--'Ihe Intelligent of the Democrat
ic party concur with him fully in his State right doc
trin,s aud admit the greatness ol his intellect. Bet
since he has chosen make himself the companion OF
slavery. and 10 identity his name with that .ystsm OF
bomliatons. we do n0t think hc could command
jorlty Of voters in any n9rthefu tlato.'
So, then, il has to tins. Because Mr.. Calhoun
believes that 'where the two east such ?ru
portonsie numbers and under such circumstances,
they do in the South, II best for both that the blacks
should be kept ~ srci suaardnatlon 10 the whites,
he il not receive the vote of one Northern State
though he is every way qualified for tho office Of Presl
dent. LIS views OF The domestic institutions OF his
State are toqualiiy him to I'LL Federal Office. though
slavery not the sutjoc, of Federal Iursdcliuu
There are, continues the Islander FEW abolition
isis IN ranks, but there many slavery men,
and their number is increasing with great rapIdity
Mono OF usare inclined 10 NEEDLE with The peculnr
sutions' of the South; and the number Is remarkably
small in party who willing give direct sane
ton To slavery by voting for John {. Calhoun
As slavery Is not subject of Federal jurisdiction no
man gives direct sanction 10 slavery, indeed, any
sanction, by voting for John {. Calhoun. 1t is sub
iect with which we OF the North have politically moth
Ing do. The South calls not on ia To approve o., II.
domestic institutions. II is willing leave MS 10 our
own judgment OF them and approve disapprove Of
them, as 10 may seem best but objects to our ia
king our nuiavorable judgment Of them. aud approve
OF disarprove OF them, a ground Of political action.
We do, IN our individual capacities, make ground
Of political action, If we prenounce MN Ineligible 10
The office OF President Of his abstract views
"a the subject Of slavery.
1--WE can bear great deal" adds tho Islander 'but
We do not like having slavery forced down our throas
nai that too by man who should be foremost in advo
eating the opposite doctrine. These meu who think
that our next Presidential election will not be greatly
influenced in lis results by the above question have
made but poor of their opportunities for ohsarya
ton. The most that the slave holding interest can look
70 10 to have the Vice Presidency and to think them
selves previously well treated If they can get tina, ia
peace We do not believe that after III either party
will dare 10 put slave holder in nomination ioi any
great national office The ierocity ANA intolerance the
ignorance and bgory Of that portion Of the country in
which slavery prevails have only been borne with
until orbearance has become vice Of the first order lint
they have ncancilaed the people who live under thelr
influence, from being able treat those assoca
ted with them according to the dictates OF reasun'
he editor OF The Islander nruiesses have no ncln,
won 10 ihorineadie with the peculiar institutions of
the South" Yet in what aboliiionist Journal can
mre violent abuse OF the South be found than in this
very passage 1t is the very kind of language which
prevents the arguments Of the abolitionists supp ,sing
,ose arguments to have any force, from having any e

editor Of the Islander resorts TO threats .Ah.r ~

The friends of State Rights fully aware that the
feelings which the Naptucket Islander has bitterly o
pressed prevail among the people of the North TO very
considerable ex'on And they wish 10 bring the nr,fs
