MIR. Cnlhoun's Address.

This document, addressed to the People Of the
Southern States, was frs, published in the PEN
dlsten Messenger Of July "a, and reached US yes
terday. Ii Is long enough to Gil above page Of
The Tribune in our fine type. It consists
m.inly Of defense Of its author from the special
charges made upon him by Col. Benton We
have read it attentvely, and propose TO spare our
readers a labor 50 alarming in the present hot
weather by presenting the substance in somewhat
shorter order than the original.
Mr. Calhoun sets out by letting the public know
that he thinks rather small beer of Col Is. lie
only notices him when compelled TO- and believes
himself lucky ifhe comes out of SO dubcusa oontsc,
without feeling little ashamed of himself This time
he would c, hum pass unnouced had he not attacked
the Southern people In lump . well as Mr. Calhoun
In particular.
Col h. has tried 10 make out tbs, the great Carroll
nlsn has always worked mure for Abolition than for
Slavery Rerein he attempts to humbug the Southern
srs-thst is hi. only purpose. he has desc ted them
and now tries 20 shake their confidence In their faithful
fricnds That's an Old trick snd remains TO be seen
fi can succeed better than with previous desert
era Mr. Calhoun's resolutions of Feb. ~, ls''' are
then quoted and defended length against the
Of dsunion tendencies Mr. Benton knew the princi
nile. and inferepces contained in those resolutions to be
true and for lack of argument rosndy abuses them
whv did n't he refute them, And If they are true
what business has hs call them hreorsndt hefs
