Calhoun. The following is from Nation.

I'VE think highly Of Mr. Culhoun's
talents, nnd respect his holiness, frank
ness, and energy; bul we dc,cSr his prn-
ciplesn relation to slavery, and his course
towards the Union. For this reason, we
hope the rcpor, that Mr. Calhoun is abonl
to retire from the Senate may be true If
mans principles on vital questions be
radically wrong, the greater his talents
and force Of character, the worse for the
country. The mnnincSs and dignity Of
his bearing can afford no compensation for
the evil wrought by his mislirec,cd cncr

Sin view OF all this, i, were hypocrisy
in us to say, that the rciircmcn, OF Mr..
