The impression, however, is. that they

equally opposed 10 the 10 the government

majority ofthe whole.
Such is The constitution aud government
of the United States, and such are all
really and truly constitutional govern

potic and not constitutional governments.

LETTER FROM MIR. CALHOUN.

Il L
"A gentleman in Dansville, Monroe
county, N. Y, addressed letter to Mr..
Calhoun in relation to his views on the
subject OF what in his late speech he was
pleased TO call "Dorrism," and received
one in reply. dated March 2lst. The fol-
lowing is The correspondence, published in
the Rochester Advertiser
ri To the Hon. John G. Calhoun.
=. DANsyILLE, March 1sl, 1917.
Il Dear Sir.-rhe credit given TO you for
sincerity in public life, and the interest
manifested by many Of our fellow citizens
in your behalf, think will be sufficient
Justification for this communication al this
time. have been reading with no little
interest The debate in the Senate, on your
resolutions in relation 10 slavery, in which
Senator Simmons, of Rhode Island. par
licipaled, and must confess, that was
somewhat COMPOUNDED at some of the no.
tons advanced by you on that occasion.
Itmay be, that on reading your remarks,
| Inexperienced their purpor,, or am so
dull ofapprehension that cannot see their
nationality. a
The Rochester papers make you say
shat you would prefer despo,ic govern
ment. or an, arslocracy, 10 government
where the numerical majority govern :"
and then you say THIS is DoRRIsS,, and
that the senator from Rehode Island was
the last person in the world from whom
you. expected such doctrines, because
Rehode Island has tasted ofils bitter fruits.
.Nowl happened to be one Of those opposed
10 the Wilmot pToyiso, and was waiting
with some anxiety TO see your views
npon the subject. 1t was with great sur
prise, and astonishment that ! read such
sentiments from one enjoying so much
respect and confidence. was one Of those
too, who believed in an extension Of the
right of suffrage in Rhode Island, and 10 a
constitution securing il, call It Dorrism, or
wha, you please; bu. differed with the

Dreadful Observation-Disclosures CON
cerning frgh,ful occurrence, has recently
been received by the British Government,
from its agents on the Western coas, Of
Africa. A negro chief, having 20OO slaves
upon his hands, and being unable to dis.
pose of them, had them all killed before
his own eyes. The French G 'verome3,
has also been made acquainted with this
borrid massacre. The murder Of those poor
slaves ought TO be avenged. The "nesro
chief by whose orderlhe murders we're
perpeirated, should be made 10 expiate
his crime BY a penalty as severe as that
which he so barbarously inflicled--,he
penalty of death ITSELF Such an act Of Of
Justice might serve as warning to all
