Hon. John c. Calhoun.

Being desirous that the public should bt
made acquainted with the seemingly new
position of the Hon. John c. Calhoun We
annex the following letters touching tho
condition of the two parties in connection
with himself They were called forth by q
letter and editorial which appeared in the
Republican sometime since and which came
TO the view of Mr. Calhoun.
1t will be seen from the tenor Of these let.
tiers that he disclaims any connection with
Democratic and manifesls no opposition to
the Wing party. AS he says his has been
AN independent course so that he has been
necessarily compelled 10 differ at times with
both parties. And instead of saying he
ever differed with the Wings, he says tho
Democratic party was forced through the
influence Of their leader MIR. Van Buren, TO
sustain the measures he had supported
against him and General Jackson. And
how is it possible that Jackson and Calhoun
men can unite. Theoretically and practi-
caIly opposed TO each other, they ever re-
mained so, and their principles are now
antipodaI. General Jackson by his pro-
clamation which to subvert all State Rights
which MIR. Calhoun has always upheld
This proclamation the Wings opposed, and
thus far their course, and Mr.. Calhoun's
run parallel. Ele remains the same and is
yet firm supporter of State Rights. And
where is his inconsistency? Ii IL man
throughout an independent course, has been
supported at times by both parties, is that
necessarily inconsistency? On the other
hand it is the best Of conSstcncy-a con-
.sistency irrespective Of party and the most
important in every well regulated RcpubIi-
can Government. And when VIC consider
rightly man always guided in his opinions
by the interest of the people instead of blind
~ submitting to the inGatuation Of party :?
A blind obedience to party is the bane Of
our Republic.
AS for our own part we are not afraid to
express our opinion as regards this matter
Without endorsing the course of Mr.. Cal
houn throughout and without any desire OF
being foremost to bring him forward for any
prominent station in the Union, and since
hc has lately opposed the Administration
in the rulnOus war with Mexico, we must
say our former opposition towards him has
abated in a considerable degree. We can
not but admire a man Of such honest views,
pure character and lofty intellect. He
stands before the people of the United States
and independent patriotic Stateman-a most
precious jewel in the bright star of our Re
public. He stands as the proud, fearless
and indefatigable champion of the South
against the lanaticism Of the North, and is
ever ready to resist any aggression upon the
sacred institutions Of our country.
