JOHN c. CALuoUN's address To THE SouraERs
SrArEs.-This celebrated document has been be-
fore the public for some days, aud has been com.
mented upon in various ways, by the newspaper
press, throughout the country. II would have been
published week sooner in the Herald, if the
special arrangements which we made for receiving
u copy of It at an early day, had not been knocked
into p, by some laundering and msma nagement in
the Post Office Department But of this m1re
anon.
Many of the newspapers seem to consider this
address as the production of great but erring
mind, although all receive and treat it with re-
spectful consideration. Others look upon it as the
emanation of powerful intellect; but few seem to
consider or appreciate ths consideration which
the effect of such production will have on the
general temper Of the Southern States as regards
future political movements. A great part of the
address is taken up with personal "reminiscences,
eucldating the personal history and craftsmanship
of Mr.. Calhoun, as well as the terrible scathing
which he has given to Col. Benton but the view
that ought particularly to be taken of it is, that is
another step IN the same direction as that marked
out by the address which was promulgated by the
Southern members at the last session Of Congress,
at Washington. 1t Is another movement originat-
ing IN ths aSltatlOH commenced at the North, con-
corning the abolition of slavery-a movement
which the South considers necessary, In the
present condition Of politics and parties, for
the preservation of their own rights and ins!-
tutions against the crusade which has been en-.
tered into against them by the politicians of all
parties, with the connivance and assistance of the
fanatics of the North, IN reference to African sla-
very. This document will, without doubt have
great effect on the elections to take place In
the South and Southwest. The result of all this
elimination and recrimination will eventually be
that the South will present an unbreken 'front.'
that il will unite as one party, in one movement,
and for one purpose-that is, resistance to the
North; and no one can tell what will come out of
such an unusual and unhappy state of things as
the array Of the South against the North would
produce.

THE CASE OF CAPTAIN McCERREN.-The preli-
mlnary examination in this case is still going on.
1t appears that the Justice before whom the ex-
animation is taking place, excluded, ON some ac-
count or other, the testimony of DR.. McCaron
but according to what rule of law or evidence, we
do not know. We give it in the shape of letter
from DrfMcC., in another column.
We wish this investigation were finished, so
that we might dismiss the subject altogether. If
the testimony introduced on the defence is true.
the girls certainly are any thing but what they
should be; but perhaps it is better to reserve an
opinion until the whole case shall have been con
Guided.
