been an inmate of the hospital, was placed at

SPEAKING OuT-The Democratic Review,
for May, in an able article, condemns the vio-
lence displayed by some of its friends in Con-
gress, during the late debate upon the slave
question, 1t thus speaks of Mr.. Calhoun and
Foote:
1--WE mourn over the weakness of human
reason, when we see a man like Mr.. Calhoun,
of advanced age. long experience, and towering
intellect, give himself up, in the face of his
country and the world, to all the childish ex-
cesses of unbridled passion. 1t is just this de-
feet of his character that destroyed his career
which has made him unserviceable to his
country, an injury 10 his party. and useless to
his age. How is il possible to respect a man
who forgets himself, and the body he should
adorn, by Conduct and words we could only
expect in maniac or common driveller. The
question Of slavery is the rock on which Mr.
Calhoun has constantly split, instead of being,
as with a statesman of any address or real pa
triotism it would have been, a stepping stone
to the highest fame and loftiest preferment.
We shall not waste word on the disgusting
rant of Foote, of Mississippi, who proclaimed
his ferocious aspirations aftera hangman's job,
whose functions be is evidently better fitted to
perform than those of a Senator. We protest
in the name of the honorable body to which he
belongs, of the noble State whose dignity he
has lowered, and of our common country which
he disgraces, against language and sentiments
which the most abandoned leader of a street
mob would hesitate In this country 10 utter,
but which this snseess demagogue hoped
would procure him notoriety. We are sure
that Mr., Calhoun must blush to be found a
moment in such company"

REMARKs.-0ur own impression is that Mr..
Clay will not get TO exceed seventeen votes in
this State, and sir less in New England than
is estimated above. This would leave him on
ly cighty-three votes on the first ballot, while
MIR. Webster will get more than tpenty votes
and Gen. Scott more than thirteen, upon the
first ballot. On the second ballot General
Taylor will probably be nominated by accla-
nation.
If MIR. Webster could be elected, his nomi-
nation would give Joy TO the intelligent wings
of the country and reflect honor upon our peo-
pie and our institutions. So with Gen. Scott
and Mr.. Clay. All Of them worthy of the
highest honor free people can bestow, but
they are not avdilable. Neither OF them ii is
thought can be elected; while Gen. Taylor is
not only certain 10 be elected, il nominated,
but is good Whig,-Moderate: able. and eff
cient. His brilliant services, and the discre-
ton he has exhibited in every position he has
occupied, have given him hold upon the aft
fections of the people which none other pos
sesses; and his nomination is virtually al
election TO the Presidency. Well may the
advocates of Wing principles-every friend o.
his county, and every admirer of the sterling
qualities which adorn his characterize PROUD
Of the probability of his selection by the Whis

make absolute shipwreck of this glorious
