CASE OF PETTY LARCENY.

POLICE OFF1cR-BEFoRE HIS Honor, THE MAYOR
The first case called this morning, was that of John
G. Calhoun, charged with stealing some " no-torrl-
tory doctrine the property of Henry Clay.
The prisoner, who seedy, lank, and lantern
jawed individual, denied the charge.
The first witness called was Mr.. Clay, who depos-
ed that he the possessor of parcel of no-teri-
tory doctrine -the same used against Mr.. Jefferson,
when he proposed the purchase of Louisiana; and
afterwards against Messrs. Tyler and Polk, in the
Texas business. 1t in tolerably good condition.
He had observed the accused prowling about his
premises on the evening of the loss, and had kept
his eye on him. Shortly after he disappeared, and
on coming to look for his property, he MIR. Clay)
found it wasn't there. He Immediately raised hue
and-cry and found the prisoner in the Senate Cham
Der, actually offering the stolen property to the coun-
try, under the name OF Resolutions"
Mr. Colquitt, one of the police, stated that he
knew the prisoner at the bar, and was formerly init
mate with him. Of late the prisoners character had
become bad that he obliged to cut the prison
er's acquaintance. This Calhoun had been getting
worse and worse, for some time, and had actually
associated himself with such people as Yulee and
Westcott. He had taken several things which did
not belong to him, before this, and was always in
some difficulty other; but generally supposed
to be little cracked.
The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say
to the CHARGE replied that he thought he had right
to the property. 1t evidently was doing Mr.. Clay
deal of harm, and it act of charity to put the
means of sefdestructon out of his reach. Mr.. Clay
was, himself, of unsound mind. He had made
speech at New Orleans, wherein he had spoken OF
the wrongs inflicted on us by Mexico, and had said
he would like to slay Mexican; and afterwards had
made a speech against the war with Mexico. No
sane man would do that In short, Mr. Clay was
decidedly improper person to be trusted with such
dangerous property as the no-territory doctrine"
His Honor said that the prisoner was evidently an
ingenious rogue his defence Proved and not to be
permitted to roam about doing mischief. He asked
him what was his business
The prisoner replied, that he was turner by pro-
fesson, that is to say-he turned fipaps for liv-
ing. His last effort in that way, from War for the
sake of Texas,'' to Peace and no indemnify" had
attracted universal admiration.
The prisoner was committed to answer at the next
election. John Donkey.

6 AID AND coMFoRT,,, BoYDEN.

1t appears that Mr.. Boyden, of this State has been
oenning has position again. The Telegraphic des-
patch OF the Richmond Enquirer of late date says
" In the House, the 21st instan in the course OF
the debate, warm sparring occurred between Messrs
Atkinson of Virginia and Boyden of North Carolina
They spoke each of them many times, and the House
was convulsed with laughter Mr.. Atkinson favored
direct taxes, if necessary to support the war. Mr..
Boyden e0Oud not UOte dollar more, ercept to defend
the army" We congratulate the people of Mr.. Boy
den's District upon the frmness and boldness with
which he stands up-against his country. He pro-
poses to disgrace the American arms and the Ameri
can name, by deliberate withdrawal of our forces
from Mexico, and by surrendering up to our bandit
foe portion of the sovereign State of Texas; and
ne now declares, in addition to this, that he will
not vote dollar more, except to defend the
What he means by defending the army we do
not know; but we presume his object is only to
tain Generals Scott and Wool, until they can back
out from Mexico. What Republic we should have,
and what new glories would we win in the eyes of
the nations, if such men as Nathaniel Boyden were
at the head of affairs!
The last Carolina Watchman endorses, out and out,
Mr.. Boyden's vote for withdrawing the army That
paper says: o." If the war is uniust-and we
hesitate not to say it s-our army ought to be with
drawn to the east bank of the Rio Grande."1r0
Who seconds that motion? What say the Raleigh
Taylor Wings? Come up to tho mark, gentlemen,
and let US see how Gen. Taylor would look, backing
out from Merico-with his head bowed down, his
plumes in the dust, and with his banners, which
blazed amid the unexampled trumphs of Palo Alto
and Buena VISTA shrouded in the darkness of humil-
iation and disgrace! ...r

MR.. CALHOUN.

Mr.. EDITOR: Having been hitherto warm ad-
mirer, personally and politically, of the great South
Carolina statesman whose name heads this article,
have been greatly mortified by the course he has
seen proper to pursue during the present Congress-
on the subject of the War. To see him, this i'm
portant question, voting alongside of such abolition
traitors Hale, of NJ H., Corwin, of Ohio and their
foul contederates, l must confess is more than my
attachment for the man withstand.
On the 30th ut., Gen. Cass chairman of the Com
mittee on Military Affairs of the Senate, moved to
take up his Bill for increasing the Army. This mo-
tiC.l opposed by Hale, Corwin & Co., and in the
course of debate, Hale said:
tThe war originated in taEsehood and fraud, and in
desire to erpefuate the institution of sLarery. The
Presidents conduct like the practice of the Span
ish physician blood-letting and warm water
''He could not give up his practice, for he had
written book, aughter and the people, though they
die called upon to follow his prescriptions. For
he 1DouM not CONSENT and lie aoortd not cote dol
lar for the further prosecution Of the aoar.
In regard to the War, Mr.. H. said that the coun-
try regarded it of and robbery, and if any
miserable Inconsistency of voting supplies for its
further prosecution His view of itrwas that mark
ed tie age bGr6GrOus In which lived, and such,
in his Judgment, the sentiment of the nation.''
After the utterance of these vile sentiments of
treason, the vote Mr.. Cass motion to take up
his Bill, and stood yecs 10, GALL Democrats) mays
I9, Hale, Corwin, Calhoun, Mangum, Badger, &c.
What position for Mr.. Calhoun to occupy, and
what company for him to be found in! Does he
expect the Southern Democracy to follow him into
the ranks of such men! Will even South Carolina
approve such conduct? We trust not. We fear Mr..
Calhoun has been too long in public life for the good
of his at any rate, he can no longer claim
the confidence or support of the Democracy of the
South, unless he retraces his steps.
