MR.. CALHOUN.

This gentleman declines submitting
his name 10 The Democratic national
convention as candidate for the Presi-
dency. He has published in the Charles
ton papers a long address to his polite
cal friends and supporters, in which he
gives, IS the principal reason ofhis with
draWal, his objections to the manner in
which the delegates to the Baltimore
convention from most of the States have
been appointed. He protests against the
plan, which has been followed in the
appointments, (Gnd which is the old
plan of appointing the delegates by
State Conventions, and intimates that he
would Cheertully have submitted his
name 10 the convention, If the delegates
had been chosen by Congressional dis
trict conventions. The arguments he
uses would undoubtedly have had more
weight than they have under present cir
cumstances, it they had not been do lay

had appointed their delegates and in.

ARTS OF THE ENEMY.

AhlO Ot The ENEM l.
In making up their qoar'els about spoils
Of l64O, il is quite apparent that the fed
eral cOntrivers Of the old and new coon
hunt did not overlook the advantage they
might derive from creating divisions on
our side, which they bargained in wine
and wassal, TO heal among themselves.
COntemperaneous with the Bolts mutton
feast served up by Mangum to Webster,
Scott, Hnd Hives, report was started
here that Mr.. Van Buren, would decline
The democratic nomination. The object
Of this was TO breed distrust and distrac-
ton among the true democracy--tO ex-
cite new hopes and projects among the
lukewarm and disaGected; and, above all,
to impress the public mind with the
idea that the strong man Of the demo.
cratic party was appalled, by the new fed.
erai coalition, and dared not confront it,
This was to lend color to the concerted
cry, set up at the same time, that nobody
doubted the success of the five times de.
feated Mr. Clay.
We thought this poor jockey trick too
contemplate to notice, and did not think
it worth while even to contradict the
fabrication about Mr.. Van Buren's with
drawal. But we find, from correspond.
ents,. that the old coon deceivers are
bustly propagating this story through the
country. We therefore inform our
friends at distance that this is not only
false, but that there never existed the
slightest circumstance TO give it counte-
nance. 1t was intended to cOunteract
The influence OF facts known to the in
telligent at Washington, which, if UNDER
stood every where, would have stamped
absurdity on its face. These facts were
that the democracy in Congress and the
country had slttled on Van Buren for its
candidate-that the delegates to the con.
venlion at Baltimore were chosen, in aI>
most all the States, and instructed 10
nominate him-that nine tenths Of the
democratic representatives we're in his
(aVOr-that it was we'll ascertained that,
whether the convention were TO vote per
capita, as the representatives. Of States
or districts, the result would be the same: :
an almost unanimous nomination Of Nh.
Van Buren as the candidate for the Pres.
idency. The design therefore of propa.
eating the rumor that Mr.. Van Buren,
had Withdrawn, was TO unsettle all that
these fixed dispositions Of the party had
settled
