action of the Senate odious, and that will attract the
attention and call down the rebuke of the nation.
The means by which your expulsion was effected,
gr eatly add TO the turpitude Of the crime II was
done by COALITlON-as clear one as was
ever witnessed. The fo,u--the immortal four-pro-

the whole session. with the ederasts consulted together
previous to the attempt being made and they knew that
BY uniting with the entire federal vote, they could effect
their ptnl purpose. II was, therefore COALITION,
and one which has forever politically damned those mon
grel politicians engaged in it. Sir have long been an
ardent friend and admirer of Mr.. Calhoun, but | now

TO THE EDITOR OF THE UNION.


But one feeling pervades the republican party OF
this region of country regard to the high handed out
rage recently pepetraed by the Senate upon you, and
upon the liberty of the press No act within my recol-
lection has created great feeling OF Indignation
among our friends as the one above alluded to, MIR,
Calhoun has always had many and warm friends in this
part OF our State, but the vndctive and an-repubhcan
course which he has thought proper to pursue towards
you has greatly dampened the ardor OF the friendship if
has not entirely destroyed it.
If the charges made in your paper were true, then OF
course no one deny the propriey OF their publication
Ii they were false Mr. Calhoun and his friends al
lege they were then those gentlemen should have had
too much self respect-too much confidence in their IN
tegnty and the elevated position which they occupyto
suppose for one that false accusations could in
jure them They have indeed, been engaged in small
busnesone totally unworthy OF senators and honorable
men
delighted to find that the spirit OF epublcanism
which greatly distinguished the of Geo Mason in
the days of the revolution still gows in the bosom of his
descendant the newly elected senator from good old
Virginia He spoke and voted just as his grandfather
would have done; and what better could man do than
successfully initiate so bright example upon all sub
lects involving political principle?
You may have lost the distinguished honor OF occupy
INC with senators, but in lieu thereof you have
gained hold upon the sympathy and affections OF the
people which no power nor rank can take IRON you
With great regard, your friend and servant.
