MIR. Calhoun.
The highly respectable author OF she following article
does than justice in supposng that we would
correct any misconcepon into which may have fallen
about Mr. Calhoun, and that we would not hesitate a
moment in publishing his communication The fact is,
republished our verbatim from Mr. C IS speech
1t reported the Tooth page of the Congressional
Register, prepared we presume by then reporter,
DR.. Houston. The other version, which "a Caro-
linan" quotes, is the pamphlet copy Of the speech.
Mr.. Calhoun asks, in February, ls47, Can you rely
on raising vounteersl" And yet, this very day,
little does the present state of things fulfil his prediction
of February last that he supports Mr. Crttendens propo
ston substitute 10000 volunteers in place of ten resu
lar regiments and 10000 volunteers The noble spirit of
volunteers is not them much exhausted as he
predicted eleven months ago. Mr. Calhoun proposes
TO raise volunteers instead OF regulars in carrying out
the system of 'masery inactivity in defending his defen
sivene and barracks and FORTS wherever renorcemens
are wanting for this purpose II is idle to express the
regret we feel in differing with Mr. Calhoun and in be-
ing reminded of the "dect antagonsm" of his policy on
the war to that of the administration and, entertain
no doubt to that of the democratic party.
Mr.. Calhoun'. Predictions.
To the Editor of the Union:
Proud every true-hearted Carolnian feels OF Inc
fame and the craftsmanship that noble and distinguished
patriot John c. Calhoun, you should experience no sur
prise that they are alive to the slightest msrepresenta
ton Of his position, or his arguments, however unnten
t,onal it may be- The writer of this article inds no
fault with any criticism upon his conduct as senator or
his statesman which Is Ingenious and frank.
And it would excite unaffected surprise if you did not
WELD all the power which you possess, as the organ OF
mnsh ye IL influence Of his opinions ' There is direct
and open antagonsm between the policy OF Mr. Calhoun
and that of the President, touching the Mexican war;
and you are chosen and ardent supporter OF the
administration. But you would scorn the base ex-
pedens of unairness and Misrepresentation, alike to
assail an opponent or to defend friend.
