Mr.. CALHOUN. The Mobile Tribune, in mott.
cling new work On Mr.. Calhoun, gives The follow
ing reminiscence:
I'VE saw Mr.. Calhoun at the Memphis Con
vcntion. When he returned home from it, he was
received every where on the Mississippi river with
the warmest demonstration of af1cctionate admira-
,ion. AT Natchez he boat the Maria) stopped near
mdni ight, and the IlIustrious passenger wasconduc
ted TO one OF the balls Of the city, where there was
a ball. Beaulifulwomcn aud brave men were in
the midst OF the dlnce, when the approach of Mr..
Calhoun was an nounced. Instantly tho dance
stopped. He was I'd into :hc room aud surrounded
by great multitude. Mr. Davis, now senator, re-
ceived him in an euIogistic .peech-too eulogis.ic
for good taste. When he closed, MIR. Calhoun rose
to reply with .midi.y that was painful sensa-
sion produced dNbtIcss by the ex.ravagant fiat
terry of Mr. Davb. He was almost incapable of
speaking. He oberved in abrupt language, that he
not accustonrd TO address miscellaneous" au-
diences-and seeng tha, the word was i'll chosen,
substituted heterogeneous, which was not much
better. Finally bIushing Ikea g'rl, be declared
that he was tnaccusomcd to speak unless to
fixed topic, andso sank down TO his seat in confn-
sion. There pas hardly man pr esent that could
not have acquitted himself better. The audience
however, saw he cause of bis embarrassment, and
the hall rang With cheers, though the spectators
were srckins to encourage the confidence of
school boy del lvering his maiden speech.
We were o |ce struck at hearing Mr. Calhoun,
in an annat' convers sntion, declare that the con-
cusions of bulsn more reliable than those of
mere intellect "a dec hrution: however, qualified
by the assert bn that The impulse must be under
the guidance IT intel tct. In this, it struck US a,
