The ex'gcncies Of particular period
may give them local application, but the
principles themselves belong neither to the
North, nor TO the South. nor to the East, nor
to the "est-they belong To all time and
to all spacc-they are the principles OF
eternal Frnth-of Liberty. Of Justice and
Eqnal,y-of the Cons tuition, of Law,
and of order.
They certainly arc not The principles ol

Letter from John c. Calhoun.

General Footc has lately published, in
the Flag of the Union, letter defending
his course on the subject Of the Nashville
Convention. He appends to his commune
cation letter from John e.. Calhoun, which
is deeply interesting on account OF the re-
! Inarkablc sagaciiy and foresight which il
evinccs in regard to events of recent oc-
currcnce. The following is Mr.. Caihoun's
letter:

Mr. Gaiho,,sa's Opinions.

We invite the closest attention OF our
readers to the following letter from Mr..
CAiH"uS. which was rc-published in the
Charleston Mercury OF June 4,h 1851,
rom the New Orleans Della.
The circumstances under which tho let.

DrhI.
The views expressed by Mr.. CALHoux

his Published opinions down to the very
last speech he made in the Senate JUS, be. /.
fore he died
These authoritative public declarations
cannot. consistently with justice to the me.
mory OF our distinguished statesman, be
made TO yield to mere rti,dte reports Of his
alIedycd Conversations.
He says cmphatIcally: ~ ny,u,nr that
the frst desire Of erery true hearted Southern
man Is 10 nrc, u possible, the Union. as
"cH a, onrsrIre,; bm i both cannm be-.
then Ia sdrs oursrires al Oh crent,." But
he declares F" Without concert Of action on
hc part Of the South, neither can be sarsd,"
His whole object WAS to unite the South
not only for the salvation OF the Union,
but for our own salvation. that is OF the
whole South This is as palpable as lam
guagc can make il.
Blu, TO save either the Union. or our
selves, meaning the whole South. "in any
