Mr. Calhoun appears TO have taken decided grounds
against the present administration and Its measures. This
not matter of surprise to those acquainted with the
crooked paths of his political career; but the inquiry
seems TO be, what he and his friends will pursue
Whether they viii tack the tail OF the wing party

President BY the people and thus carry il to the House Of
Representatives. We may be mistaken but we not
among those who think they will take either par

be class OF politicians whose chief aim is make the
world believe them peculiarly honest in politics. ana
IN order TO impress the world with this belief they fly on

From the Huntsville Democrat.
We devote large space in our paper to the speech Of
Mr.. Calhoun, the Mexican war, together with the
following remarks from Mr. Richie, editor of the Wash
ington Union, which places in clear light the position OF
the honorable senator Subsequently ito this speech
Mr. Yulee, with Mr. Calhoun, and two other democratic
senator's, had ta ken stand IN opposition to Mr. Richie
and moved that he and his reporters be expelled from
their seats in the Senate chambera privilege heretofore
extended to editors and reporters OF the city. Our
Washington papers, two mails behind--being to
the 18th ony-do not furnish the result of the proceed
ings ofthe Senate but gentleman direct from Nashville
reports that papers had reached that city announcing the
expulsion of Mr. Richie by the votes OF Mr. Calhoun, iu.
lee, and two other democratic senators, connection with
twenty three wings We regret to learn from the same
source that Mr. Lewis OF this State with three or four
democratic senators, did not vote the occasions and
thus by their silence permitted the wings triumph
the prominent democratic editor OF the country We
hope the report may not be correct regards Mr. Lewis
for whose talents and usefulness have entertained
high regard. We shall probably, before this paper goes
to press receive further particulars to the vote &c,
which will endeavor to insert in another column
The wings in ecstacies at their triumph and if
may Judge from the remarks of the Washington cores
pondent of the Charleston Courier are already prepared
to take up Mr. Calhoun, or follow in his lead The
respondent under date of the 10Th inst, says:
Mr.. Calhoun Is, by this days business, placed in
prouder position than he held at any former time
His old opponents, the wings, ready, as think,
follow him. to take his lead with implicit confidence in
his wisdom, integrity and independence"

The Murder Al Montrose.

The papers for two weeks have all had
more or less 10 say about the murder If Mr..
MelaDcton Knight, ut Montrose, Iowa-the
arrest Of his partner and one or two other
persons az his supposed murderers, and
their accidental reprieVe from execution,
by virtue of Lynch law, and subsequent
confinement TO await legal trial. IL seems,
now, from statement ia the Union, that
Mr.. knight has not been murdered--and
that he Is al Jefferson Barracks, a soldier IN
the United States arqny--that, becoming in
volved in business, he adopted the expedi-
ent of Ascending at the time stated, and in
order TO punish Il man who had threatened
his life, he left behind him the indications
of murder, which so much excited the peo-
pie. The letter which was found. after his
disappearance, was smeared with blood
from his nose, which was then bleeding.
" He took the hatelet which was found,
cut his hat with it, stained It's blade with
blood, cut from his head some hair, attached
il to the blood upon the Ratchet, collected
blood IN his hand and rubbed il upon the
jam, went 10 the river, got into u canoe and
floated down under the guards of the boats
to prevent being seen, arrived at Hannibal
and enlisted IN the army.n
! III all this be SO, great deal of undeseryed
sympathy has been wasted on Mr. Knight,
and two men were very near falling victims,
to mob violence, in consequence of his ma
lignant disposition.--Si. Louis Rep.

The English, Scotch and Irish.

Looking, then, at the populace OF the
three kingdoms, Tor rather queendoms u
NAV easily be perceived that there Is consid-
cradle difference amongst them with respect
10 temperament. The Irish are gay, ardent,
| and impetuous; and the Scotch are con1par-
atiyely cool, steady and cautious; the Eng
lish are, perhaps, fair average between
the two. ] remember il was not Inelegant-
ly observed by friend Of mine, that an
| Englishman thinks and speaks; a Scotch
man thinks twice before hefspeaks; and an
Irishman speaks before he thinks. a lady
present added, q A Scotchman thinks with
his head: an freshman with his heart. p
This aIIusion to impulse operating more
rapidly than deliberation, is akin TO Miss
Edgeworths remark, that an irishInan may
err with his head, never with his heart; the
truth however being, that he obeys his heart,
not always waiting for the dictates of his
head. Some years ago there was carica-
ture very graphically portraying these grades
of difference i'm the irdor ofthe three nations.
/ An English, an Irish, and Scotchman were
Represented as looking through a confection-
lers window at beautiful young woman
Serving nthe shop. "Ohln exclaimed Mr.
Patrick, "do let us be after spending half a
crown with the dear crayture, that we may

to gle us twa sixpenees for a sheelin, and
enquire where's MIR. Thompson's house;
and sic like? We're not hungry, and may
as weei save the siller." There Is an old story
Of the experiment made in London by two
friends, who spoke TO every laborer they
met between ST. Giles and Holborn Hill,
until they had found one belonging TO each
of these three countries: and to each, but
separately, they put the question: " What
iwonld YOU take to stand on the top of the
monument ali night with only your night
clothes oni" The EngEshman, in straight
forward way, replied at once, 'Five pounds;'
The Scolchman cautiously asked, sWhat
