some reflections well worthy OF cunsidefa.

Although Gen. Hamiion's revelation Of
Mr.. Calhoun's latest oPInluns on the pohcy

We carefully studied Mr.. Calhouns last
speech IN the Seusle, when II Was first pub

mon that, although il indicated an evident
desire to produce an ultimate separation Of
the slayeholdlGg from the non slaveholdine
States, II clearly disclosed the speakers un.
willingness TO hazsrd acy issue N which the
wan, of Southern harmony might prevent a
,eaceable dissolution. La the number Of he
Times which contained the speech we briefly
summed up our Interpretation Of Il as fol.
lows:
"The drift Of Mr.. Calhoun's effort seems
TO US TO be, that the South and the North are
too dl-smllar 10 interests and sentiments 10

the South can look for no security III future
without an amendment Of the constitution

Arguments proved him 10 be IN favor Of dis
