MIR. CALHoUN's POSITION.

We publish Mr.. CsIhoun's Letter to-day,

c~ived by yesterday mail
IL the Jacobin Club, and the corrupt ma
chinery Of the party managers, be not utterly
demolished now, we shall despair OF the re
public.
The last New Orleans Evergreen says:
"a notorious gambler invited several honest conn'
uymen, who had beea receiving lasge sums oil
money and with whom he had become Jdmh-
iarIv acquainted at fashionable hotel, to join a
pleasant card party on a certain day, al his v'lla,
on Lake Poncharirain. The counuymen, being
somewhat fascinated with the genllemanly bear
ing, and gorgeous equipage of The rich MIR. -
consented 10 go, provided no gamblers were 10

tilted number of his coniederates to be present,
inthe guise Of gentiemeih aud TO conduct them
selves with fairness, until the wine had CIR
cula,ed freely. In the mt antime the keeper OF
Abe hotel impaired such information 10 The coun-
trymen, as to induce them TO stay away. Ailhe
appointed time the party met-none but cheats
and gamblers. The expenditure for wine was
so much lost, and the party separated IN an ILL
humor" VII such be the case nth Mr.
Fan Buren's select party at baltimore an
May?
Mr.. Calhoun does not mince matters with
Messrs Van Buren,, Benton, Wright, &c, &C., on
the subject Of the tariff, and on the reception Of
Abolition petitions BY the House Of Represen-
tatives.
In short, Mr.. Calhoun has thrown his mighty
weight into the scale of the ARMED NEUTRAL,
party.
Since the Globe, the Democratic Review. and
the Richmond Enquirer, have thrown of the
mask, and proclaimed candidate for the party
wilhou, consulting the wishes of The People, Mr..
Van Buren, has received blow after blow in such
quick succession and OF such deadening char
acter, tn a, many Of his mos, jealous friends in
Congress do no, disguise their despair of sue
ceeding with him.

FROM TEXAS.

The steamship New York arrived yesterday
from Galveston, and brought late dates.
The rumors which reached this city fort
night ago, that the Mexican feet was about TO
sail for Havana, received in Galveston a dfre-
rent version. Letters arrived there from Vera
Cruz, stating that troops were concentrating on
that point, and that the true destination of the
Mexican vessels OF war lying at SACRIFICES was
Galveston Island 1t is said also, that lelrer, TO
The same purpou were forwarded to the Texan
authorizes at the seat Of Government.
A bill had been offered in The House Of Re
representatives., and referred to The proper com

stretch OF charity TO believe that failures are
generally inevitable. where facts TO the contrary

many, cases of individual nallenlion, yet where

THE MAILS.

the iuegulari,y of the mails, more especially at
That Of editors ofpapers than whom no class of
persons feel il more senslbly. To them, their
daily supply Of Exchanges" is like their daily
meat and drink; but have not the officers who
are charged with the transportation of the mail,
and who are so freely and conveniently re-
preached for lis numerous failures, a right TO
ask that those who censure them by wholesale,
and without stint, would sometimes be specific
in their charges7 One might suppose that

INJUNCTION OF SECRECY.

Il delights us 10 expose duplicity, especially
when exhibited by confederates towards each
other. The Senate Of the United States seems
bent on obtaining the unenviable Immortality Of
Robespierfe or Marat. But we have no idea
that the sneaking, lox-lIke cunning and .pusilla-
nimity Of the Globe, shall enable it to preserve
its coadja,ors, aiders and abelters, from the in
dignation which they merit, and the punishment,
they ought 10 receive.
The Globe, Of yesterday, contains an article
headed 1.-THE New Coalition" and in that ar
ticle endeavors TO throw he responsibility of the
late unwise, unjust, and utterly ndeiensible con-
duct of the Senate in Executive session, on the
Wing members Of that august body. That ar
ticle, we believe, was not written by the nomi-
nal editor of the Globe. Ii may have been
penned by Senator from Missouri. Now,
this Senator, and his confedeIates, we further
believe, roted against each of the gentlemen
lately rejected by the Senate; and not only
roted against them, but used their most sfrenu-
Gus exertions TO defeat them
