There. area few men to whom when
5theTeiis real dapgeryin affairs, the eyes OF
the people inslincliyely. lurn for guidance
and help. ln the midst Of political strife
such men may be as much and even more
abused than leaders OF a different cbarac
ter. There are other men who are eleya-
tedsin lines. of peace aud prosperity, buI
when dark, clouds arise they are Instantly
forgotten. Mr.. G alhoun belongs 10 the
first. He is. ;reviIed wh;n in Office, but
he, is. no sooner out Of Office than the peo
pile of all parties begin 10 desire his return.
True, most men atlhe North have thought
him wrong, somelines;, butno one ever
doubted that as "a statesmen he. belonged
TO the very highest rank, and.very few, II,
any, however much they tried 10 do SO.
have ever heen really able ,uexpel from
theirminds, the, conviction alhat:he is an
honest aud sincere patriot, and as m1cb
above most politicians in moral, as heis
in intellectual greatness, When The office
Of Secretary Of State was made vacant by
the sad accident on board tho Princeton,
and Mr.. Calhoun's name was mentioned,
the whole country called himio that sta
ton. Now ihereiis the same desire that
he should return to the Senate. The
position which he took in tiIesSenate on
The Oregon question, was so profoundly
wise, lha, the attention Of patriots through
the country was fastened 10 ir,with strong
approval. Now That the furious and
reckless portion OF The people talk crafty
ofinjuslce aud war thar approval desires
the retnrn ofsthis statesman toihe place
where. hemay again enforce ssihe same
councils Of wisdom.-N. Y,iJour. Com.
