SPEECH.

The address Of Mr.. Calhoun is certainly an
able and clear exposition of tho controversy be-
tween the. North and The South. 1t p~Ortrays,
with great force, the continued cncroachmcnts Of
the former on the rigt is Of the latter. Dul we
think that come ofthe We've it contains had as well
been omitted. 1t is not calculated by any means
TO slay the angry feeling now existing between
the North and the Sonth. The honorable Scna-
tor demands too much, when he asks all amend
mcnt OF the Constitution in order to restore an
equilibrium between the two portions Of The con-
federacy. We DO not mean that sucl IN amend
ment would not be an a~dvapiagc TO the South. and
would not tend to perpefuate the Union; but it is
more than We can nov ask in the settlement OF
the question. We have been fighting for the
Constitution as it is, aid we think that its guar
antics, If respected, are sufficient TO secure our
rights, but l. not respected, it could hardly be pre-
suned that an amendment such as Mr.. Calhoun
would have, would be respected. There is an
other position sfihe address 10 which we except
But as our views have been so often expressed
upon that point, il is unnecessary to teiterate
them. We cannot bat admire, however, the
frankncss OF the man. lie seeks not to Disguise
his real approximations about the Union, and the
value that he would place upon it without the
sought.for protection Of our rights. Bat this
does aot. in our opinion, make him a disunionist,
as some of hi. traduceEs have been endeavoring
TO prove him.. We dc not believe that there is a
disnnionist south of Mason and Dixon's Line
On the contrary The course OF the South alone
can save the Union. The chief causes of the de-
cline and fall of all governments, have been a dis.
regard of fundamental laws, and encroach,nnen,s
upon the rights of a portion of the nEabitanre.-
And these will be the causes Of tho dissolution OF
our covcrrment

Calhoun and wens,cr'~ Speeches.

-
The speeches Of these two eminent and disrin,
guished Statesmen haze been the theme Of con-
versation, and the great focus Of attraction, dur
ing the last week. lEuLlic attention has been for
weeks directed TO the great intellectual banquet
that was in store, andnas intellectual cffor; alone,
Independent Of the istportant positions assumed
pro and con, it has in no degree been disappsint-
cd. The health OF Mr.. Calhoun has been so pre-
carious during the whole session Of Congress,
that on this account it is fair to presume thai his
speech was prepared under the most disadvanta.
geous circumstances. On Monday, he was intkc
Senate Chamber, but fearful to undergo tie labor
of delivering his Eematks, he solicited Senator
Mason of Virginia To read 10 the Senate what
