ministrative capacity. He is equally well
qualified for shining in council and In con-
troyersy.
Hunters oratory is learned. logical, and
exhaustive of the subject. Reasoning is
his forte. His style is eminently practical
and effective. Though neither brilliant nor
striking in parts, his speeches are more tell
ing and conclusive. on the whole, than
those of the others which in the mass ars
irrefragible. He speaks but seldom, but la
bors indefatigably in the committees. He
has the rare merit of preferring what is
useful TO what is merely popular, in the fill
ing of his senatorial office. Of the three,
|. should think he is the least liable to errors
of Judgment. Toomhs is very much of a
gladiator; Davis is ready enough 10 break
lance but Hunter, with the greatest firm
ness, seems TO possess but little eombative-
ness IF afhrmativeness, or the assertion
of personality, is the most destructive
mark of Toombs' oratory, generalization
that of Davis, analysis and combination
may be said TO be the peculiar distinction
of Hunters. - rs

Buchanan the Tempter of Calhoun.

Buchanan the Tempter of Calhoun.
An important fact Establishing former
eonjectures) in regard to the origin of the
Lecompton swindle has Just come to our
knowledge. We have learned, ,sfroma source
in which implicit confidence is to be placed,
that the course of John Calhoun, and OF the
becompton conspirators, not merely meets
the approval of Mr.: Buchanan, but was ac-
tually chalked out by the latter, and carried
through in compliance with his special de-
sire. Calhoun yielded to the temptation,
against his personal inclinations and his
sense of Justice. On a visit to his friends
at the East, before the tempter had secured
him in his coil, he explicitly declared his
conviction that "Kanzas would and ought to
be Free S6rte;" and that he should s'vote
for it as such.'' We are distinctly inform
ed how this change of purpose was effected.
The allurements placed before him by an
Executive controlling an immense patronage,
proved too strong for the ambitious mans
virtue. He yielded to the solicitation of
President Buchanan, and, with the hope of
reward, consented to become his compliant
instrument, for the execution of scheme
from which his better nature utterly reyolted.
1t has often before been intimated, on
probable grounds, that the Lecompton Con-
slitution, with its accompanying Villanies,
was concocted at Washington, and carried
through under the pressure of Executive
influence. There was many circumstances
to warrant this belief. But the facts we
now state come to us directly, through the
relatives of Calhoun, with whom be has
communicated on the subject, and who full
ly understands his motives and position
One who cannot be mistaken as to what he
states, and who holds an intimate relation to
the President Of the Lecompton Convention,
says: sKnowing all the circumstances as
do, there is no doubt but John Calhoun had
his instructions from Buchanan how to act
in the Kanzes drama" We have other tes-
timony still more direct, which fully war
rants the statements we have made.-Cia-
ciiandti Gazette.

Admission of Minnesota.

We may do injustice to Mr.. Buchanan
and his Cabinet in the supposition that they
do not desire the admission of Minnesota,
except on condition that Kansas, under the
Lecompton Constitution, is admitted at the
same time. But whatever their desires, the
action of the President and his advisers is
almost conclusive that the supposition is
well founded. The fact that Minnesota was
an applicant for membership of the Union,
was not communicated to Congress by the
President until nearly two weeks after her
Constitution was officially presented; and he
sent with the message, when he was at last
constrained TO speak, no recommendation
that the wishes of the new State be complied
with. His friends in neither House evincs
any anxiety to see Minnesota a member of
the Republican family; her petition, which
Congress authorized her tc make, lies neg
lected upon the Speakers table; and her
Senators and Representatives are idle at the
seat of government, waiting the time when
they viii be called upon to act. It is the
belief In Washington and elsewhere that this
inaction is the result of deep design; that
MiRnesots's fate has been hinged upon the
Kanzas fraud; that her Constitution, FORM
ed without dispute, nay, by the well known
accord of both the political parties in the
Territory, and in compliance with express
permission of Congress-her Constitution,
which has the assent AID hearty support of
nineteen-twentieths of her peoples to be
made beast of burden to carry the Kanzas
Constitution-acceptable to no visible or
