SKETCH OF JOHN CALDWELL CALHOUN.
We take the following from work entitled
1.-The sons of the Emerald Isle, including me-
moirs of noted characters of Irish parentage or
Descent" by WIN. L. MACKENZIE The writer is a
warm admirer of the great statesman, and not
unjustly.- The clamors lately raised against him
as statesmen for the manner in which he con-
Quoted the negotiations with England and France
in relation to Texas, making it southern ques-
ton, &C., are receiving fitting reply in the in
trigues of the British Commissioner, Elliott, to
prevent annexation, noticed in our last number,
aided by the French Charge, M. de Saligny, under
the protence of hostility to the institution of
slavery Mr.. Calhoun anticipated that this would
be made the pretence of insolent interference in
our affairs, and he met the whole question frankly
and boldly, in the split of Jefferson who declared
that " the whole art of government" and Of
course of diplomacy 6 consists in the art of being
honest.n
Mr.. Calhoun was born in Abbeville Dis
trict, South Carolina, on the 18th of March,
1852, and is now in in his sixty-frst year.
His family is Irish on both sides. His
father, Patrick Calhoun, was native of
Donegal in Ireland, whence his family mi
grated to Pennsylvania, and finally settled
in S. G. His mothers name was Caldwell,
native of Virginia. His family is Irish on
both sides, and its members being Wings in
the Revolution, suffered from Indian incur
sions and Tory ourages. Mr.. G. was sent
to the nearest Academy, $50 miles from his
home to be educated by his brother-n-law,
Presbyterian minister, thence to Yale Col
lege, where DR.. Dwight declared that he
had talent enough to be President of the
United States, and predicted that he would
be president. Mr.. G. served two sessions
in the state egislature--took his seat in
Congress in 1Sl0--voted against the renewal
of the United States Bank Charter in 1911
-nobly supported the war of 1912, but is
evidently no friend to war and bloodshed,
where, by prudence, they may be honorably
avoided-was friendly to charter for Bank
of the United States during the last war
QSl4,) but desired measure infinitely less
exceptionable than that of his friends Mr..
Dallas, for the adoption of which Mr.. For
sytb, since Secretary of State SO warmly con-
tended. Mr. Webster of Mass, was also in
Congress, and warmly in favor of twenty
million United States Bank--the old Bank
was a ten million one. On Mr.. Clay's
return from, Europe he also was for Bank
and, in 1916, they yielded to aNsupposed
necessity, and Bank was incorporated as
a means of relieving the government from
great pecuniary embarrasments. Ihaye read
attentvely the debates, reports, and proceed
ngs during, 1911, 1914, 1915, and 1915, in
and out of Congress, and agree with the
younger and elder Duane, that a real neccs-
'ity did not then exist for the creation of
such formidable anti-republican institution.

NORTHERN VS.. SOUTHERN PATRIOTISM
The Boston Courier, copies :he statement
of the N. N. Heralds correspondent, that
the Mission 10 England had been offered to
Mr.. PIcKENs, and that if he declined, it
would again be pressed OH Mr. CALHOUN"
The Courier adds: If South Carolina
man is sent TO England, there will be very
little trouble about Oregon. The sovereignty
of that almighty State care very little about
adding any more free territory TO the Ameri-
can Union" - a.
The Boston Courier, though il could con-
dense into look the sacerbity of half cen
tury of New England sFederalism,sis not
likely to trouble the conscience of the South,
or even the almighty State" it holds in
such horror. The acquisitions which the
Courier'S party have made TO the T" free ter
ritory" of the Union--where are they? We
never heard of them. 1t is the acquisition
of territory that has always troubled thatbody
of patriots. They went into spasns about
Louisiana, and the fit was repeated in the
case Of Texas. But these had an odor of
slaverya Well, what have thoy done for
their own peculiar province of free territory?
MIR. WEBsTER was thought by many 10 have
given away good slice even Of the sacred
soil Of New England, and Mr.. BENToN
charged him on voluminous evidence, with
yielding not few swamps, &C., beyond
Lake Superior. However that may be, it is
certain that he never crossed the Rocky
Mountains. He had perhaps the best op-
portunity that was ever presented of settling
the Oregon question advantageously for the
whole country, and he shrunk from touching
it. And what has Mr.. EVERETT done for
the acquisition of free territory?' We
have not heard that our rights 10 the Oregon
have received either new light or increased
strength from him. We have reason TO be-
lieve that his mission in England has been
one Unmarked and especial mbecility-afow
years of elegant idling, deserving rather to be
chronicled as the travels of Cambridge
professor, than the labors of an American
Statesman.
But passing this, let us go to the root Of
the Oregon dispute. The two insuperable
obstacles that lie insthe way of the plausible
assertion of our right to the whole territorY
between California and the. Russian posse
sions, are the treaty of joint occupancy. aud
the offer of our government to accept the
line Of the 49th degree of latitude as COM
promise boundary. Each of these was an
undeniable concession that the claims Of
England had to some extent a just founda-
tion--unless we affirm that each was cow
ardly and traitorous abandonment of the rights
of our country. And who, more than all
others, is responsible Tor these concessions:
Truly, Mr.. JOHN @. ADAMS.
We blame not Mr.. ADAMS then for the
proposed compromise; bui let the New Eng
landers show that any Southern statesman
has conceded more for the sake of settle
ment, or hes weakened the claims Of the
United States, before they venture to repeat
the sneers Of the Boston Courier.
