in North Carolina, in which the writer, after sta

ship Omitted States" before the people. They
will gladly let it drop. 1t was controversy in
which they were sadly worsted. The course of
the Administration was, throughout. SO exactly
that which respect for neutral obligations, prece-

and real American feeling dictated, that the fac
tIous carpngs ofthe Union have met no response
even from its own party. No respectable Dem

shall never hear Of it again as a ground of re-
proach to the Administration. The Prusgian Min

logic of Mr.. Clayton's last despatch, to profess
hipself satisfied We have, heretofore express
ed the opinion, that had the resumption of hos

occurred before the 4th March last, the action of
the late Administration would have been exactly
that of the present, which action has been SO a.

MIR. CALHOUN'S ADDRESS.

We commence the publication OF the answer
OF Mr. Calhoun to the attack made upon him by
Col Benton, in his famous Missouri speech, and
hope TO be able to finish it in our next number,
though 1t is of fearful length. 1t is scarcely me-
cessary to say that it is exceedingly able-its au-
thorship IS guaranty for that. 1t is throughout
slngalarly interesting. On most points, his vim
dcatlon is triumphant. On some, however we
think Il less conclusive. Thus, we think he fails
10 show that his opinion was not given in 1920 ia
Mr. Monroe, IN favor Of the constitutional power
OF Congress over the subject of slavery in the ter
rl'orles. But as he says, the question had not
then been much discussed, nor had assumed a
character OF much importance. Driven, by this
last assault of Benton, from his pasiton of digni-
ted contempt of his assailant he does not content
himself with merely acting on the defensive He
hits Benton some tremendous blows and INDUCES
in an asPerity Of language, which, however natu-
raj and well applied, is unusual with Mr. Cal
houn.
We must reserve further remarks upon this ad-
dress until another OCCASION
