his section what he had 70 say OF John c. cahcrn.
lie said
my father was an old friend Mr.. Calhoun and
had been brought up TO admire him. -When 1
went 10 see him at Washington appeared under
dstaree ha ar y, my iheI name, ana at thls
interesting appearance and an intense form or al
dress, and who, after some few iapses, proceeded
upon me with all the earnestness OF one addressing
u popular audience lie Was more ardent than
suited my ears as compared with his, and after he
had talked 10 me In the widest way for some
the got the notion that he was practising
something upon me- Soon afterwards ma
delivered celebrated speech in which thought
recognized whole sentences as what ne had .ex-
claimed to me, mere young man. Mr.. Calhoun
was man whose theories OF government were

win those ratiocinations and was perfectly honest
~ ~ ny avowal OF them. and they struck many good
sicn III MS tine az true positions. He had the mis-
fortune OF having had the Presidency on the BRAIN
NO man ever had II worse. The loss OF IL gave a
strange aspect his later years. and made him feel
Ike one who had nearly won the imperial rule and
mad lost IT, He considered all questions in the
light OF one who had been discrowned. and could
magnify his experience as truly as if he had spent
q long term OF actual sovereignty. But his love OF
country under the aspects OF his mind was az
longer.n
w. CAMPBELL. OR CRAWFORD.
remembering that Judge Campbell was native
oa m ncorgla and that William II. Crawford, the great
o1ahuluate ~ after Monroe, for the Presidency,
Sro y, sns same state, asked the Judge whether
from his time. He said -
Judge crawford, when I knew him az q youth,
nad retired from active lie and was a Judge. He
was not temperate In his habits, but the contrary
and was an exceedingly arbitrary and positive
man. remember when a case came to him as a
Judge, and some witness had been impeached, that
he said :-Gentlemen, I have known this man
many years. and no impeachment OF his testimony
will do before me. He Is an honest upright man,
and has got to be believed Before
this everything gave way, although we would
think It strange in our times II
Judge so pronounced upon witness character
upon his knowledge merely. But he does occupy
the greatest record OF any Georgian, because he
had rcall. great Judgment and what he thought
OF measures, men and times carried with IL the
weight OF large manhood.
FINIS -ttstt+ At.
Mr. Campbell had a kindly word for ex-President
Fillmore, whom he thought retained the respect,
and in some cases the affection Of those elements
from which politics had receded, ,~.
He said many other interesting things not neces.
sary TO be repeated, and I gained the inference
from his remarks that he stood poised between the
utter imbecility OF the old prO-savery dynasty and
the want OF conception of the purposes and char
acter OF the new. As we have no conception our
selves in the North OF carpetbaggery and let IL go
on because II Is a parasite upon federal admnstra-
tion, felt sense OF compassionate respect for q
man OF good feelings, who frankly admitted that
he knew no more than we did about something,
where he felt that he had no such responsibility as
ours-namely, responsibility for the reckless, an-
dacious, shiitcss carpet-baggery in the Southern
States.
