MusrcAL.-We perceive, from an announcement
in the newspapers that Mr.. Henry Phillips, who is
Justly esteemed as the greatest Of living vocalists,
aud who has recently arrived in this city, COM
mences his public musical entertainments on Mon
day evening next, at the Apollo Saloon. Ihis an
nouncemen Mt has created considerable sensation
in the fashionable and musical world. The dis
tingushed reputation oiMr. PHILLIPS as composer
and vocalist, and his widespread popularity IN this
country for years past well in England, on ac
count OF the connection of his name with SO many
of the most admired and most beautiful melodies
OF the time, have secured for him an unusual well
come to this land. There is no doubt that ne will
create one of the most extraordinary sensations IN
this country which have yet taken place amoDgus.
We recollect the curiosity and enthusiasm which
followed Mr. Braham; but Mr. Braham, when he
was last among Us, was in his wane. Phillips,
however, is in the hey-day Of manhood, and-we
were about to say-at the zenith of his fame; but
it is not for us to place limits to reputation which
may justly aspire to heights still more elevated
and enduring.
Many of the songs to be introduced by Mr..
Phillips will be altogether new, aud as sung by
him, they are indeed of that class which stir up to
their very depths the varied emotions of the hu.
man soul Then the manner in which these choice
musical gems introduced by Mr.. Phillips is Pc
culiary attractive. Anecdote--historica and per
sonaI remnlscence-pathetic description and song
are so skfuly blended, that every taste is grail
fed and delighted. Many Of the songs are in
themselves sort Of musical drama in one act-in-
cident, dialogue, description, and denouement, be-
ing all marvellously given in spiritstirring me-
lody. These entertainments will be all the rage in
this city and every where throughout the country

FOR THE STATE.

We take the name of Mr.. Calhoun frOr
our columns as candidate for the Presi
dency, as he is no longer before the Con
vention, and can no longer be considere
before the country. We consider tina
the refusal of Mr. Calhoun TO 90 befor
the Convention, forever separates hin
from any chance Of reaching the chic
Inagistracy ofthe nation; and this fact h
must have known when the step was taken
1t il, however, what We expected from
him; we did not expect to find him tamper.
ing with the rights and principles of the
state rights party when tile path of duty
was plain. The Globe, the Richmond
Enquirer, and Democratic Review, have
frequently held out the threat to Mr.. CAL
.houn, that If he and his friends did not &C.
quiescc in The mode of organizing the
Convention proposed by the friends of the
other candidates, it might materially lessen
his chances for the Presidency. These
threats were addressed TO the wrong man
and the wrong party. Mr.. Calhoun was
aware that they told the truth, but ambit,
;ous as lie has been called, his own aggran-
disemen, was moi his object. If his friends
had ceased TO press the district system, and
quietly acquiesced IL the proceedings of
the Baltimore Convention. he would have
had no competitor during the !. ext canvass
for the nomination. He has chasen - dISre-
gard the prospects of his own elevation, TO
abandon all hope OF the presilen y, for the
sake ofmanIaining those political truths
il has been the purpose of his life to ad-
vance. We scarcely think many such
instances Of subscribing devo,edness to
principle can be found in the records OF
political biography. Let who will Ike it

Asy other than the purest prncipl of pat

su.h deyoti,n, for web no station could

It is true the friends and admirers of
MIR. Calhoun have ardently wished TO see
him in q station where his principles and
splendid administrative abilities would
have had proper sphere of action: they
wanted his services for the country, they
wanted his deep sNgacity, his far-reaching
intellect and homes, heart; but they deem
ed not that any station, however exalted
could baye added any thing to his own
fame. When his public actions shall have
passed into history, then will his petty de-
tractors blush at the recollection of having
imputed to him mean and selfish motives
We consider his present position one muct
