"Reminiscences of Mr.. Calhoun.

In the process of making some search into the
obscure political history of Col. Joseph Johnson,
wo have stumbled upon curious relque of the
earlier, though still mature, opinions of Mr. CAL
houn. No reader of our political annals, needs
to be informed that during the administrations of
Mr.. Madison, Mr. Monroe, and the younger Ad-
ans, MIR. Calhoun was the advocate of the United
States Bank, of a high Tariff for Protection, and
of the grandest system of Internal improvements
ever projected in the United States; but, in sub
sequent years, he and his peculiar supporters have
so loudly berated the General Government, for
he grievous oppression to the South involved in
Bank, Tariff and Internal Improvements, that his
participation in setting themal up has been almost
forgotten
Whether the following Renaissance will find
place in the forthcoming compilation of his
productions we cannot say; but, inasmuch as it
is a distinct summary of the opinions he main.
tanned in Congress before he entered the Cabinet.
and while he was Secretary of War and Vice
President, it surely deserves to be kept in re-
membrance. The recapituaton is the more
worthy of attention, because it was addressed to
Mr. Calhoun's neighbours and friends of the
Abbeville district.
