the Committee Of fifteen reported 10 the meet
inc an address prcparcdby Mr. Bcrricn, which
was intended as Il substitute for The address
prepared by Mr. Calhoun, which had caused
some dissatisfaction at n former meeting, but
Mr.. Bcrrien's address was rejected by the
meeting, and Mr.. Calhoun's was adopted, with
the exception Of one unimporlant clause. 1t

address, and Went back and adopted The
original address drawn 10y Calhoun, slrik

was good deal of debate, and some oI
the wings retired from The, meeting; buI
OIL the whole, there was unanimity upon
the main object Of the meeting.
The address has not been signed, but il
is to be open for signatures, and will be

three or four wings. like Gov. Gayle.
The address, il is said, will be published

statement that they have recommended
Andrew Stewart TO General Taylor, as a
Cabinet Minister. They have endeavored
to unite in The recommendation Of some
citizen Of their State, in case Gen. TAYLOR
should call upon them Tor their opinion

Mr.. Calhoun has been somewhat indis-
posed since Friday last, and has remained
at his lodgings since that day, when, from
fainlncss aud exhaustion be was compelled
TO leave the Senate Chamber. He was
much better to day. and will be able soon

in his seat twice this session. He came
in once to give his opinion, and he sub

private claim, wishing, he said, that his
views SHOULD he known 10 the numerous
cIaimpnls who had often applied 10 him
for advice, in regard TO claims for property

case, Mr.. Webster spoke with view 10

Mr. w. does not expose himself unncces
