man is held BY even his political opponents lie Is
regarded as having saved the country nom scenes,
the exhibition OF which would have been source
Of painful regret to all sections the Union as long
as time might last and OF having opened up the
way By which Just equitable and honorable com

The friends OF Mr.. CALHOUN were crleVousI
disappointed that he was unable 10 reach the sen
ate Chamber YESTERDAY and the continued precs-
nous condition OF his health renders II morc than

agan be enabled 10 enter the Senate Chamber u
