| election TO the Vice Presidency, in 1925,
His,name had been brought before the
public as one Of the candidates for the
Presidency, but withdrawn On the
election Of Mr.. Adams, over General
Jackson, by the House of Representa-
tives, his own favolile, Mr.. Crawford,
being out of the field, he was naturally
placed in the opposition, as well by the
mode of that election-being by the
House, in opposition to the manifest
popular preference -as by his natural
alfinities. He discharged the duties of
that position with efficiency and digni-
ty.
1t was there that the conviction forced
itself on his mind, that there were no
other means practicable, to arrest the
tendency Of the distracted affairs toward
Federal Capitalization fatal 10 the
rights of the States than by a tria! Of the
experiment of the extent TO which the
power of the principle of State sover-
eighty might be carried, in a direct coll
lison with the usurpations Of the Fede-
eral Government.
On General Jackson's election by the
people, in 1923, he again came in as
Vice President. On the circumstances
of the violent and embittered quarrel
which so shortly thereafter ensued be-
tween him and the President, we need
make no remarks. They are fully be-
fore the public in the copious publica>
tionS of correspondence and statements
made at the time. Mr.. Calhoun became
placed in an attitude Of deep hostility 10
he President and his principal friends,
so strongly and severely personal as TO
extend almost Of necessity even to po-
Iilical relations. A morbid bitterness
Of feeling towards General Jackson's
entire Administration, seems TO have
arisen out of these personal relations.
In word, Mr.. Calhoun was soon deci-
dcdly ''ln lhe opposition" ."-Thr affair
of Notification soon succeeded ; and Mr..
calhoun, IN obedience 10 the call Oh his
State, resigned his seat in the Chair Of
the Senate as Vice President, to take
his place in that body as a Senator from
South Carolina, and as her especial
champion before the country for the
justification of the course which that
State was then pursuing. TIE result,

upon between the conflicting interests.

THE RIGHT MOVE.

We are glad that the only fcasable
plan, by which the return of our gallant
Regiment, CAN be accelerated--has al
last been proposed. And we are pleased
that the first step, towards the attain
ment of so desirable an object, has been
made in our District. As will be seen
by the communication below, General
A. C. Jones, aclnatcd by spirit ofpat-
rio,ism and disinterestcdness, that does
him great honor, volunteers to be one
of ten, 10 raise rev Regiment, and
relieve the whole of the war worn and
laurel covered PalmcltOes. Or failing
in that determined to do his share-will
raise single company, to take the
place Of any one company, in the pres
sent Regiment, that desires to return
home.
This is as il should be-apd from our
knowledge of the chivalrous P Palmettoes,
it is the only way, in which they would
wish 10 be rcIieved-by leaving in their
stead, another Regiment Of the sons Of
Carolina, who would retain untarniShed,
the hono,s they have won-who would
when opportunity offered, add new rays
of glory, to the bright halo, that has
been shed around their native State.
Now, that the first move has been
made, we feel assured the praiseworthy
emuIation,. will arise amongst those
Districts, who have not yet sent men to
the war-as to which shall belong, the
credit. of having the first company in
the feId-towards the formation of the
new Regiment.

Jones says, company can be raised

From a printed circular by the Trus-
tees of the CoIIedge of Pharmacy, New
York, the following passages are cited
in the last issue Of the American jour-
nal of SCIENCE and Arts:
Blue Pill is imported containing a
per cen,agelof nercury. Ten down to
seyen and alIlalf, mixed with blue clay
and Prussiaablu 10 give proper design
and color. 1.-Two imporlaions of this
kind, from the manufactory of William
BaiIy, of Wulvelhamp,ou, have already
been exposed; the first in lS45, and
the other recently. It's composition,
according to the analysis OF our Profess
sor Reid, is mercury, earthly clay, Prus-
sian blue, used in coloring, sand, in
combination with the clay, soluble sac
charine matters. in soluble organic mat
tiers, and water.
: Very large quantities Of Rubarb,
much decayed, the better parts of which
ale dark colored with scarcely any taste
or smell. having probably been exhaus-
ted to make extracts, come from Eng
land, invoiced there from l-2 to 8
pence sterling per pound. 1t is in'en-
ded and used forpowdering, color being
given to il byslurmeric, &C.
The article SCALED Oxidr offhince on
the English labels is generally carbo-
nate OF zinc, being imported, il is said
at price which precludes the pos,ibili-
ty Of honest preparation.
ALL that is received under the name
Of Precipnaled Sulphur, or "Iac sui
phur," as the merchants commonly term
it, except when it is expressly ordered
from an honorable manufacturer, con-
tains from SOTO 95 per cent of sulphate
Of lime.
Opium is often invoiced at onc-third
the value ofgood quality, and is found
upon examination not to be worth even
that. The same may be said of Scam
mony. Most of the foreign extracts
are not what they profess 10 be, and
cannot be relied upon in the treatment
of disease. The salts Of Quinine, Nor
phine, and all The more costly chemicals,
are greatly adulterated.

He displayed a s,rkingly bold inde-
pendence Of party obligations, as they
are more commonly estimated by public
men,. Though leading member of the
Republican party, he did no, hesitate to
oppose it in several important measures,
to which dislinc. and decided party
character had been given-in some in>
stances successfully, and in others IN
vain.
One of the most important measures
with which he is associated, was the
charter of the Bank Of the United States.
He was at the head of the Committee
on Currency, which reported the bIl! for
that purpose which thu cxigencies of tie
times seemed 10 demand. Since that
necessity has ceased TO exist, Mr.. Cal
houn has as streuuously opposed re-
charter oflhe Bank in common with his
party.
In December, 1917, Mr.. Calhoun, at
the age of thirty-6ve, was appointed
Secretary Of War by President Madi-
son. The state of disorder in which he
found the complicated concerns OF this
department, is we'll known and may be
best proved by the fact that It was over
whelmcd with burden of not less than
fifty millions of dollars of unsettled ac>
corn,s, and all its intricate machinery,
to great extent disoIganized. The
credit has always and universally been
conceded to him, of having been one of
the most active and efficient officers that
ever presided over any of our public
Departments. The arrears of unsettled
accounts were speedily and almost en-
tireIy extinguished; the army was re-
organized in an admirable manner, in
point Of discipline and economy, on its
peace establishment; the West Point
Academy was revived, and placed on a
sound and effective footing a thorough
system of fortifcations, maritime and
frontier, was organized; nor ought an
allusionbe omitted to the coast survey,

hostililies. He married, in .,l77D, a
young lady of The name of Caldwell, of
Charlotte county Virginia.
He exhibited very extraordinary natu,
raj powers of mind at an early age,
though his education before the age of
eighteen was comparatively but little
attended to, the three or four years pre-
ceding that age having been spent at
home in the invigorating pursuits of Ag>
ricul,ure, and the sports of the field.
He had been tal>en home by his parents
from school on account of the injury
which his health had sustained, Fl ON the
severe application TO which he bad cx-
cited by a strong enthusiasm for histori-
cal reading, supported by Il patient in
dustry rarely exhibited by so young a
mind. In 1900, his school education
was resumed, and in 1902, two years
after his first breaking ground upon the
rudiments OF the Latin Grammar, he
entered Yale College in the junior class;
at the head Of which his commanding
natural powers enabled him to graduate,
with the highest honors. He spent
year and half al the Litchiela Law
School; and, completing his legal studies
in the office Of Mr.. DeSaussure,in Char
lesion, was admitted to the bar in 1907,
where he Immediately took a big rank
on The circuit Of his native district, Ab-
bevile.
He entered Congress in 1911, having
served two Years in the Legislature of
his native State. Since that period, he
has been always on the front Of the stage
deeply engaged, and playing part sec
ond in prominence to none, in all the
important public affairs Of the times. A
distinguished position was Immediately
conceded TO him, by genera consent. in
the ranks of the Republican party, of
which he was member, being one Of
its most jealous and powerful champions.
He was placed second on the Committee
on Foreign Affairs; Of which he soon
became chairman on the retirement from
Congress Of Gen. Por,er.-Ths post
was, at that time, the leadership of :he
Republican party in, the House. HIS
maiden speech was in defence Of his
report recommending a declaration of
war, against powerful attack, by John
Randolph; il placed him at once in the
first class Of parliamentary orators. His
extraordinary powers had full scope in
that position, which he maintained with
all the enthusiasm, energy and inexbaus'
table res sources of genius by which he
was remarkably characterised.
