DYING WORDS OF Mr.. CALHouS.-
An authentic report Of the last hours of
Mr.. Calhoun, in the Charleston Mer-
curry, states that a few hours before his
death, he uttered the following remark:
Il cannot avoid thinking Of the pc,
Iilcal affairs of the country. If | could
hove but one hour 10 speak in the Sen.
ate, | would do more good than on
any previous occasion Of my life"
Upon which the ST. Louis Union
comments as foliows:-
at is possible that the near approach
of death afforded, 10 the eminent dis.
union leader, a clearer vew of the fol.
y Of ambition, and Of the unhappy
tendency Of sectional pride, than he had
previously entertained. One hour
therefore in the Senate, might have
been devoted to the preservation OF
that Union which his labors has SO
long tended TO subver,."

THE WINGS OF MISSOURI-DO

We put this question TO the Wings Of Mis-
souri,, because we learn that in some por-
tons OF the State, great efforts are being
made by each OF the Democratic factions. to
induce the Wings 10 coaesce with them
1t those counties in which it is supposed Ben.
ton is strongest, the antics propose 10 the
Wings 10 unite with them 10 defeat the Ben.
tonites; and 10 show their fairness they offer
10 divide the offices with lhem or in other
words, 10 run a ticket composed Of an equal
number Of Wings and antics. In other
counties in which the antics are in the ascen.
dent, the same proposition is made by the
Ben,onis,s. We wish to caution our Wing
friends against all such alliances. and 10
eatreat them. as they value the integrity and
purity OF the Wing party in Missouri, 10 en-.
ter into no compromises with either OF them.
Let US make no bargains with. nor any con.
cessions to either. The line Of duty, as well
as OF policy, is plainly before US. Let US
follow it, without devating either 10 the
right or the left. Let US pursue the plain,
broad, open highway, instead Of devia,iug
into the crooked paths, and the murky lanes
and alleys Of Loco(ocoism. If there be Lut
twenty Wings in any county, (and we can
scarcely believe that any county is so be,
nighted as TO have no more,)-but If there
be but twenty. and a thousand Locofocos,
our opinion is that those twenty should run a
