To the Editor If The Modisonian:
regret to see 10 your paper Of this mornings
letter from Dsiloit fthe 18th inst. which treats
Mr.. Calhoun With great uniairness, in charging
him with 80 kaown and steady opposition 10
the great interest of the Western States, as
manifested on the Oregon question" The
many evidences OF the most friendly feeling
on his part TO the West. dunsg his adm
nislration Of the War Department, as well
ss the liberal provisions Of his la;e Land
bill, ought 10 have protected him from this
charge. That bill has repeatedly subjected
him to the opposite charge OF sacrificing TOO
much 10 the new States of the West-while
his course on the Oregon question, as his late
able speech on thar subject proves, was predi-
Gated on the motive of giving the highest secu-
rity TO Western interests, by opposing mea.
sure which, he contends, would necessarily ter
inmate in divesiing us of this valuable terri
tory.
The letter also speaks of his Everlasting en-
nifty to Lake harbors," as further evidence
Of hostility TO the West. Mr.. Calhoun, in
common with most Of the Democratic
party, has been, of late years, frequently forced
to vote against the exlravagant expenditures for
harbors, and other internal improvements OF
doubtful constitulionality, but his opposition
has not been confined TO harbors on the
Lakes. On the contrary, he has pursued
an uniform course, and denied nothing to The
Lakes, which he has not TO the Atlantic coast,
and which he would not deny even 10 the coast
of his own State. In this he has been sus-
tanned by the votes of many of the Western
members themselves, who, perhaps, of all other
sections, have most uniformly voted against
harbors and lighthouse bills, as involving an
expenditure in which the WEST could but to a
small extent participate.
To bill confined 10 harbors intended for
protection and safety on long line of difficult
and dangerous coast, Mr.. Calhoun has never
manifested an oppositIon, but TO many of the
wild and extravaganza propositions OF expendl-
ture, both on the Lake and Atlantic coasts, he
deserves the thanks Of the country for his firm
and uniform opposition. After publishing this
letter, ask it as an act of justice that you pub
lish his speech on the Oregon bills

CRAFTY you to learn that the Democracy of this
section of New Jersey, have recently taken a
stand in favor of the present Administration, as
startling to the Clayites hereabouts as il must
prove gratifying to the feelings four worthy and

composed of the very bone and sinew of our

took place on Saturday evening last, in the
Alhenian Hall, Railway. The counties of Es-
sex and Middlesex were proudly represented on

dressed in strains of thrilling eloquence by J. A.

Essex, and Col. J. C. Zabriskie, of Middlesex
Despite the Vaccinations of few Clay Wings
and the slight opposition of some half dozen
wel-meanlng Democrats, (who misunderstood
the purpose of the meeting) the utmost harmony
prevailed, and the object of the meeting was
carried out fully, fairly, and triumphan,ly Our

will soon see reason to reinquish their opposi-

of Democratic sentiment in New Jersey prevails
strongly against them. While we attempt TO dissi-
pate their deusion, however, let US respect the

SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW.

We have been very much grati6ed by Pc
rnsal OF the January number Of this excellent
periodical. II Is distinguished by rare scholar
ship and ability. We suppose the work is In
tended 10 be a revival of the former Southern
Review, and we trust that il will not fall behind
il in ability. If the present number be fan
specimen OF what Southern writers can accom-
plish, we need entertain no doubts on the sub
ject of the eminent success and extensive circu-
lation of this work both at home and abroad
The opinions of Southern men on topics OF
lasting interest ought to be more generally
known than they are. We are accustomed to
obtain most of our periodical literature from the
North, and from the pens of Northern writers
We should be very glad to see the South and
the Weslsenter into fair competition of wits
with our Alhenian neighbors of New York and
Massachusetts,.
We have not time to enter into critical
analysis of the articles contained in the num-
Der Of the "Southern Quarterly" now before
US, but they are all highly creditable to the
South, and will richly repay perusal. In me-
chancal execution, this Review is superior to
any work of the kind that has ever been got up
in America. We hail the appearance as au
suspicious sign of the increased interest which
our countrymen are already beginning to take
in the advancement of our national literature
And now that the South has such vehicle
through which its leading men can express
their opinions, we hope their views may be
boldly and strongly expressed, not only upon
literary, but political topics. Upon many stir
ring questions of the day, the South has a voice
sounding up from the very depths of the social
system, and we wish that it may be heard, and
heard in tones of power, by the whole country.

Convention"
Mr. Hubbard remained with his own party uli
1899 when the Republicans had put Gen Jackson into
power, and throughout the stormy contest little New
Hampshire had been the "Star in the East," from
which other States had taken their bearing and
shaped their course Mr. Hubbard had used all
his fussy and mock-earDest energy against General
jackson but. being one Of those majority -adoriDy
men,
-- "Who fawn and seek for power
by doctrines fashiond TO the varying hour"
with his head gray with years and Federal wisdom,
he came over to the Republican party and by putting
into his best of fawning and profession, he
soon got himself nominated to Congress- where he
manned ten or twelve years. For all his honors he
was indebted TO DIR. Hill, who could have put him
down at any time he pleased for while the Repub-
lcan party had unbounded confidence in Mr.. Hill,
which years of labor in their had justified, they
never had confidence in the political sincerity of Mr.
HUBBARD who was stranger friend, but an old
acquaintance enemy.
The Globe may be assured that it can nei-
Their lead nor mislead the old true, unwa-
vcring Republicans of New HampshIre--they
know their own friends--their own trials--the
true ground Of division, there better than the Globe
with all prompers and exparte statements made,
It may be, by some protegee-some mere creature Of
MIR. Hubbard, who wishes to ride his masters hobby
two years longer. Does the Globe suppose it is
talking to stupid ounces, when it presumes to tell
the Republicans of New Hampshire ,cha Mr.. Hill
is and ,chat Mr.. Hubbard Isl They know Mr.. Hill to
be their old, long tried friend but they ko,o no such
thing of Mr.. Hubbard. They know this of Mr.. Hub
bard-that, under 'l@le, he is trying to build
up neW party SO that he may enjoy Office few
years onger-that, if he cannot alter things, he'll
"change their names, sir.''
No man reads political signs quicker than MIR Hill
and seeing attempt to break up the Republican
party by introducing neo names, doctrines here
sizes, and Inventions, he to the rescue Of his
old friends and his old principles in whose cause so
many years of his life have been devoted which is en-
deared to him by all the labors, suerings, and SYM
pathies of an honest heart
And yet that would-be oracle, the Globe, under
takes to read, rather WRITE Mr.. Hill out of ,the
Republican party, and to install Mr.. Hubbard in his
| place! Better say to him
"Thou wearst lions hide doff it, for shame
And hang calf skin on those rccreant limbs"

Republican party to do JUSTICE TO JonS Ty.

ingenuity can suggest, in connection NTH thu

every Democrat MS renegade" who receives
Office from the President.
The New York Evening Post, frightened by
the recent New Jersey demonstration, INDUCES
Its spleen in a long ayticle of denuncialion
against the President for suffering his true
friends to be appointed to Office, and for permit
ting those friendly to his election 10 1914 to re-
main in Office. And then IL copies the famous
"Circular."
When President Tyler took the oath of Of

have proclaimed to the world, had il not
been for the opposition of Messrs. Ewing & Co.
