JOHN C. Calhoun We find in the Richmond En-

t.cnlan travelling in this country, who was in ash
ington at the time Mr.. Calhoun made his last great
speech in the United States Senate, the compro-
mise measures, in 1850, to his brother i'll Paris, in
which he gives his impressions of that distinguished
statesman. He says:
81 saw senator who procured me seat on the
lower floor, the place at which Senator Mason
was to read Mr. Calhoun's remarks and little af
ter one o'clock Mr.. Calhoun entered He wore the
appearance of E1an gradually expiring. His form
was the mcrest skeleton, but his face and the pccul
lar expression of his countenance, perfectly
intellectual as any human face could be- l shall
never forget the shudder which came over me when
| saw him enter the Senate Chamber Richelieu,
Votaire, Molere, Arago, Lanlartine, Soult-not
of them had such face. Indeed, it is utterly
impossible for you to conceive OF the impression
which his simple presence created. NO man, des-
ttutc of military rcnOwn, ever had much defer
ence and respect paid to him. Indeed, l can
know how it has happened that he has been SO long
in the service of his country All looked with inter
est at him. When he sat down, the reading of his
speech was proceeded with, beginning with the SIM
pie but unusual address, Senator'S (Thc usual ad

Quirements the purcst private and public character

Senate upon question of the first magnitude to
his country and to the world. The proioundest
attention was paid to every word and syllable The
paper was as simple and yet mastery as the az
gumcnts of the Emperor Napoleon in his disgust
tons upon the stage of Europe, which he prepared
at st. Helena. The. character of Calhouns mind is
that of the anayze, and also that of the cassifer
He generalizcs with more rapidly than any man
now living. His composition is easy and concise.
He embraces his propositions in the fewest express
sions, and his conclusions seem so apparent that a
refutation is impossible This discourse the most
eloquent composition ever heard read in any as
sembly indeed, do not regard anything in French
or English literature its superior. 1t is eloquence,
and with it an argument that is itself history and
philosophy. 1 read it again and again after it was
