Mr.. Calhoun'$ Letter.-This anxious

appearance. He maintains that the BAL.
tlnore Convention is to be formed upon
such principles as to render it impossible
Tor him, in view Of his formerly expressed
opinions, to submit his name to that con.
vention.
! His letter concludes with the follow,
ing language:
( Having now assigned my reasons for

you who have placed it before the people
and assented to abide by a Convention
