g HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN"
When a man who has enjoyed the con-
fience Of the people, and been honored
by Them in various ways for more than a
quarter of century, abuses the conf
dence that has been reposed in him, and
Joins the enemies of the people, we may
well exclaim with the writer in Holy writ,
How are the mighty lalIenn
Calhoun is man of superior talents,
but eccentric and cratic. Occasionally
he gets in the right track, but ere long we
find him wandering again, The Hon. J..
P. King, of Ga, made this remark of him
in the fall oc 1887, after he (Calhoun)
had declared himself for the policy OF
Van Buren,: If the democratic party
make him their leader, he will ruin the
partyi and if he is not made the leader,
he will leave the party" Calhoun began
opposing the party more than two years
ago, when he found that lie could not get
the nomination of the Baltimore Conven-
ton Polk refusing 10 retain him in the
Cabinet, prepared him TO attack the admi-
nistration, so soon as an opportunity offer
ed. His Oregon speech was the first Of
his opposing the administration, and he
has followed it up by opposing the Next
can war.
His Oregon speech was The most unpa-
triotic, anh-Amcrican, English speech, oil
any delivered on that question, with the
exception, perhaps, OF that of bis satellite
or neither appendage, Geo. McDuflie /
The most rabid Wing in the Senate die
not say as much in favor Of England and
against our institutions as Calhoun did in
that speech. | see some of the high Tory
papers in Great Britain are very much
pleased with it. They notice and praise
It more Than any speech on their side Of
Tie question. This is enough to show the
true character of The speech. We hav,
always conlended that our government
was the strongest on earth, because It /.
based on the affections Of the people. Mr.
Calhoun makes ii out the weakest telling
US that war with England would totally
destroy the Republic, and end in the estab
lshment of military despotsm. This
Of course, would be very pleasant new
10 all the monnrchies Of The old world. -
Nothing cndangers their existence but thu
progress Of freedom for the masses. |
Caihoun's insane rarings are correct, lhey
have nothing to do but to make war OF

- We are all safely quartored in camp,
and Notwithstanding the great anxiety ma
infested by Volunteer companies through
out the State, there have been but six com
plnies mustered into the service. This
delay has been caused by the Commander
.inchief of Thu State saying that those
who arrived at the place OF rendezvous
first should be received. Those who live
at the greatest distance from the capitol
naturally expected others 10 be in before
them, and did not wish to incur the ex-
pense, and lose the time, Of marching TO
this place, and then being refused. 1t is,
however, believed that the Regiment will
be full in two or three days; we then ex-

Yesterdays paper hit the nail on The head
ia the suggestion that the volunteer com.

their own ranks. five are not mistaken,
the laws of our State require this at any
rate; and it would indeed be an anomaly
in our elections for man, not a member

mand it. We believe as good material
for command can be found among our vo.
lunleers ms any where else, and we Ger.
tainIy have no desire to see those whose
self conceit had induced them to hold back
or stick up for high offices, now be promot-
ed over the brave and uisinterested fellows
that are willing in any capacity 10 obey
the call Of their country. Unless they
choose to put themselves under the com.
mand OF a tried and regular soldier, such
