TERRITORIAL BrrsINESS
Highly Important Rnmor.

It'll said by pretty good authority, tina
the leading wings Of Baltimore have recent
ly visited New York: Philadelphia, and
Boston, TO form concert Of action among
the leading wings Of the country, to bring
ont Mr.. Calhoun for the next candidate for
President. They look upon the success
OF their own party as past hope, with a
union Of the democratic party against it,
and inasmuch as Calhoun has seen fit to
array himself on the federal side ofthe Or
egon question, and is DESTROYS Of being
at all hazards, they have taken
this early step to secure his support BY the
wings, before they are committed to any
other man; thinking that ifthe wings should
run man, the democrats one, and Calhoun
running on his own hook, the election
would be thrown into the House, and their
success be thereby lost. Mr.. Calhoun is
evidently in state Of frGnsitu as to ali his
previous views. and it is very probable
that, aided by the light which the offer Of
the support Of the wing party would give
him in the next Presidential election, he
might come out a shining convert 10 the
well known creed of federalism. The
quicker all these rotten excresences are
Topped of, the better it will be for the
health Of the democratic body.

Once by the British soldiers during n.

regretted the distance between him and
Col. B. Not very great TO be sure, bm !,
was 5 degrees and 40 minutes. IfCoLR
would measure his distance from Ii,
wings, he would find himself on the sam,
parallel with them: whilst he was ius, !,
far from the wings as he was from Col.
Benton, and that too upon the greatest

We have some later news from this gal
liant but oppressed Republic. A letter
from on board the U. S frigate Raritan,
just from Rio, dated March 10Th, informs
US that the British steam ship Cyclops had
left the La Plata for England, to procure
more reinforcement to prosecute the war
against that Republic. So it seems that
the combined forces Of both England and
France have not been able, thus far, to con-
quer that brave and gallant people. Yet
they are intent upon the destruction Of that
nation, because democratic, and they will
succeed. Shame on our government! that
II will not raise its voice against unright-
eous oppression! We appear to have for
gotten, that this nation never would have
existed, unless we had had help in our
weakness. 64
