A large portion OF Mr.. Calhoun's speech is deyo-

slavery agitation and as an ACT Of justice. we must
say that the democrats OF the North should have
antslayery agitaors not nurtured into strength by
northern democrats, but by northern wings The north

we had nothing but geographical parties" and sectional
divisons-to rally around them the elements OF discord

forgotten that the Union Of the States depends upon the
