Mr.. Calhoun's speech has left q profound
impression on all who heard. il II was a
great, a philosophical speech; but it was
not a speech calculated to render the spec
ker popular. Mr.. Calhoun hes evidently
Isrttled his account here below, and looksto
reward to the impartial pages Of history
rather than to the tickle affection Of bis
contemporaries. His speech was not a par
tizan spirit and party sentiments. He spoke
in a prophetic and warning, voice s'to de
Senate" and he spoke in behalf of the On.
ion. He wanted to know what the North
meant to do with the South-where they
meantto place Southern institntions-he i
evidently prepared for a compromise that
shall rid the country Of the question forey-
er. sg,." 4fHjtt}
Mr.. Calhoun is determined not to post
.pone the settlement of the question any Ion.
ger. He thinks the period of its settle
'ment has come, and that every hours delay
is frought with dangerous consequences.-7
He wants the question settled before the z
next Presidential election, for il, it be net
settled now, it will lead to the formation
Of geographical parties, the worst and most
destructive of all. If MI. Calhoun will
devote himself in a liberal and philosophi1s
cal spirit, be will leave a name in the his- z
tory Of the country which will inspire fu- nj
.tare generations with gratitude and ler
spect.
A friend at ny elbow directs my atten- 10
ton to the remarkable similarity between
the position of Mr.. John Van Buren, and d
Mr. Robert Tyler; both men of talent and 4
genius, and both remarkable for filial piety.s-
Ex-President John Tyler had his separate
convention in 1874, his son, Robert Tyler.
being the principal mover; and ex-Presi17
dsnt Van Buren, has his convention in 1913
his son, John Van Buren,, acting as pEincf-a n
pal orator. Had Mr.. Robert Tyler had. as
large a sphere of action as Mr.. Van Buren,
has IN the Empire State, his talents would
no doubt have shone forth in a far more
brilliant light, and might have been as high
ly appreciated as those Of Mr.. John Van Il
Buren,. .l...r. 80 .-.Li,.-
There is a rumor in town that Gen. Tay-
Tor has written a letter Of acceptance much.
in the same spirit as all his previous ones,
viz: that he will not consider himself the
President Of party, but accept With pleas

from any number Of his fellow citi-
