MIR. CALHOUN,S LETTER

n large portion of our paper is occupied this
week with Mr.. Calhoun's address to his polit-
zeal friends and supporters. 1t will be seen that
lie is determined not to permit his name to be
brought before the Democratic National Conven
ilon, which Is 20 meet in Baltimore i'm Nav next.

1t as altogether unfair and anti-repubican in tho
principle OF lis appointment, and as calculated TO
ann'hilate the control of the people over the cleo
tioh oil President, and vest it in the hands of
those who make politics trade.
lie leaves it TO his friends to determine what
course 1t Will be proper for them now to pursue.

their decision. He says for himself, however.

WING PAPER. IN ROCKINGHAM

proposals have been issued by Mr.. CHARLES
w. CLARKE for publishing Wing paper in the
town OF Harrlsonburg. We had intended to in.
ser' his prospectus in this paper, but the space
occupied by Mr.. Calhoun's very wordy address.
which the public no doubt curious TO see. has
prevented us from doing so. 1t shall certainly
appear IN our next paper, however-and in the
mean Time we commend the project to the notice
and patronage of our political friends.
we are truly sorry 10 see that this movement
has so much disturbed the nerves of our old friend
OF the Register. He seems to think it is rather a
reelection upon the intelligence of the county to
suppose it needs any other illumination than that
afforded by his own bright orb BE that as il
may he is certainly not disnteres,ed judge
vi one thing we will take occasion TO assure him.
however, that although the project did not orpi-
nate in Augusta. as he supposes, we will not an

helping it on.

Col. Johnson in his summers visit to Stanton
made some very complimentary remarks with re-
gard TO The character and talents of MI CLAW
lhey were reported by some gentleman who
heard them, and have been generally copied by
the press OF the country. Col. ID. Patteson, for
lner senator from Augusta, in a letter in the
StaunIon Spectator on another subject inciden-
tally mentions this, and expresses a wish that
what col. Johnson said of Mr.. Adams at the
same Time. had also been communicated to the
public. From this we conjecture they were not
very Observation-Disclosures Compiler.
There is another inference which the Compiler
mfght have drawn Of rather more consequence
and that is, that the high eulogium reported 10
have been pronounced on Mr.. CLAY by Colonel
JOHNSON was rue--for Mr.. PATTEsoN. from what
he says, must haUe heard 1t. As to the omission
to give what the Colonel said about Mr.. ADAMS.
that is not so strange, for few people in the South
think or care any thing about him and, let it
nave teen what 1t might, it certainly could detract
nothing from the Colonel's compliments to Mr..
CLAY.
we did not see Col. Johnson while he was
here, and we heard nothing of his euogium upon
Mr.. Clay until we saw it in print. Its entire cor
rectness' however, as reported, has since been
amply confirmed 10 US.

THE NEW YORK SENATORS.

From the tone of the liberal portion of the
Republican press which gained the ascendency
in May last, and which will undoubtedly keep it
for four years, the appointment of Messrs FOSTER
and DICKINSON, to succeed Messrs. Tallmdge
and Wright, is hailed with great satisfaction.
The Albany Atlas, however, a print which in
sists upon having all of Mr. TyIer's friends
prescribed, is much dissatisfied. The ob.ec-
tons of that print are thus noticed by the AL
bany Argus;
The Albany Atlas, speaking Ct the appointment of
Messrs. FOSTER and DICKINSON temporarily as u.
s. Senators, says that "the appointments thus made
10 continue, in the language Of the Constitution,
until the next sitting of the legislature and
I'll the action OF that body, as alleged in the para
graph from the Argus" The language of the Cen
stituton s-"f vacancies shall happen, by resigra-
ton otherwise, during the of the Legislature
Of any State, the Executive thereof may make TEN
porary appointments until the next meeting of the
gslature VIII CHI shall then fill such vacancies" No
one, we apprehend, really imagnes that the persons
temporarily appointed will not hold until in the Ian
guage of the Constitution, "the legislature shall fill
such vacancies" Such, we believe, has been the in
variable practice OF toe States and such Is also the
a-s.ss -~'S..o~t.-- - ,'Y provision. OuI
phrase therefore, until the action of the legisa-
ture,n was 10 accordance with the fact
Diversity OF opinion as 10 the expediency of max
ing temporary appointments, may have existed, with.

the Executive prerogative IN this instance 4" might
appear to originate IN desire 10 anticipate the ac-
ton of the legislative body" The executive regard

tive performance and he made the selection IL that
SPIRIT of democrats whom he regarded well quail
fed for the station but from desire to interfere
with the course Of the legislature; and we concur
with the Atlas in the belief that it cannot foreeose
or embarrass the action OF that body
Objection is also taken, with some ingenuity per-
hsPs, that the temporary appointments by the Gov
ernor conflict with the provision Of the Constitution,
which declares that mo member of the legislature
shall receive any civil appointment from the Gov.
ernor and Senate, or from the legislature durin, the
term for which he shall have been elected" But the
answer to all this is obviously found 10 the wording
Of the clause Of the "Constuton." The appointment
certainly neither proceeds from the "Go,ernor and
Senate, nor from 'the legislature And the clause
Of the Constitution next following that quoted ex-
pressly recognises the case Of member ol the egs-
lsure appointed otherwise 10 a civil office under the
Government Of the United States, and provides for
vacstng his seat, under such circumstances.

the immediate annexation Of Texas, have Just
been passed upon by the People, majority of
whom have svsnsn approving voice 10 favor

of both those measures, and thus sustained
Mr. Tyler. But Mr. Clay's ambition was dis
appointed in one, and his high aspirations de-
fesled by the other. Ay, there is the rub.
But for the exercise of the veto power by
MIR. Tyler, the country would have had another
corrupt Bank, under the management Of the
Wings, fastened upon il ; and but for the ques-
ton OF the annexation of Texas being mooted,
MIR. Clay would most individually have been
elected President. Hence the continual oulcY
against Mr. Tyler, of cruelty him cruelty

Proud may Mr.. Tyler be, Of the great and
glorious services he has rendered his country,
when in future time, in his retirement, he shall
review the measures of his Administration, by
these two acts, preventing the establishment OF
National Bank, and the defeat of Henry Clay
in his efforts to gain the Presidential chair. He
will not need go any further. These two acts
alone have earned him The gratitude of a vasl
portion of the honest and patriotic men of both
parties. Whether in public station or in private
retirement, the eyes of the People will not be
withdrawn from Mr.. Tyler-they never will
forget the debt of gratitude they owe him. Un-
principled political opponents and disappointed
aspirants may rail at and SANDER him the Peo-
pie will do him justice History will faithfully
