tionsts this the latter well understood, and they
must rejoice over the colonol's speeches, as cai-
culated to weaken the confidence Of the South
in him. This is not the first time desefter has
had the assurance to denounce those who are
faithful.
He denies being favorable to disunion; that
he has always favored compromise, but nor
thern fanatics have always opposed and prevent
ed it; claims merit for voting for Claytoh's com
promise bill, and taunt5 Benton with causing its
rejection. He denies being the author of the
a r5I1g the difference betSeen that and The
charge that he (Calhoun) had when in Mcnroe's
Cabinet, sustained the principle that Congress
could restrict slavery in the territories.
He denies every assertion made by Benton,

abolish slavery in half Of Texas, so as to hem in
the South by surrounded her with uboliuonists

ITr. Calhoun's Address in reply to
Col. Benton.

The Address of Mr.. Calhoun to the Southern
States, growing out of Mr. Bcnton's recent
speeches in Missouri was published in the
Charleston Courier of the 18th. A synopsis of
this address was telegraphcd to the New York
papers of yesterday, from which we copy. The
whole address is said to be bitter and strong -
Mr. Calhoun says he does not consider Col.
Benton worthy Of notice and that personally
he mr.. Co. has never thought it worth while to
raise Col. B. to to the dignity of rival nor con-
sidered it important whether he was put down or
not, But as Benton strikes at the Southern
cause through him, Mr. C.. he feels it his duty
to repel the attack.
Mr.. Calhoun says the efforts of Col. Benton
appear to prove him unfathIu to the cause of
the South, as aiding the free soerS and aboli.
