John 0. Calhoun.

In the course of an article on "Ameri-
can Biographies" in Haper's Aagqsiae
for December, the editor says:
'sHow positive, and in the course of events
almost sinister, power was Mr. Calhoun
Bat there is no tolerable life Of him.
If the editor would turn to Matthew St.
Clair CIark's biography of Johu C. Cal
houn, he would find not only ''tolerable, .
but an admirable and truthful life of the
great Southron; one that does justice to
his memory, and frees him from the asper-
sious cast upon his political career by men
incapable, from prejudice, of doing him
justice. If the editor will read that work
attentively, we think he viii be disposed
to recall the inputation of anything "sin-
lister" to Mr.. Calhoun, who was, unques-
tionabIy, one Of the ablest as he was
ono Of the purest men of his time
Now that time has been allowed for pas
sioa and prejudice to subside, to impute
sinister purposes to Mr.. Calhoun is to
betray an ignorance Of the facts of history,
inexcusable in one who assumes to lead
public sentiment into the channels of truth.
Or else it shows a mind so incrusted with
prejudice that truth cannot effect lodg-
meut therein. Tk4sEsfter of this article
was once thoroughly imbued with preju-
dice against Dir. Calhoun; but, it arose
from not properly understanding his posi-
ton, which had eenpersistently misrepre-
sentcd. When that was understood preju-
dice evanished, truth assumed her rigbtful
sway, aud justice was accorded where be-
fore it3.iad been withheld.

Correspondence of tie Democratic Adgooate.
BALrIxoRE, November 18th. 1878.

BALTIMORE, November 26th, 1878.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-The alleged exploits of
the man Lee. the temperance "reformer,i
who seems TO be so Incorporate In the matter
OF wives, are probably the subject of MANY
wise comments IN certain part of your coun-
ty. The .Itold- you. So argument. the IA
vorite one of small minds, will now be freely
used, and perhaps stupidity, or appetite ready
TO seize the himsiest pretext for indulgence,
will give the temperance movement a back
ward set for awhile.
youngwomen alleged to be involved, the
one Lee deserted and the one with whom he
IS said to have eloped, are most to be pitied
of course, for if Shakspeare's declaration,
s'Frailty, thy name is woman"
be true, it Is also true that womanIs fraiIty is
generally developed and brought TO light by
the rascality of man, and that she is the prin-
clpal sufferer in every such escapade as that
to which | have referred.
The Dodson case, the scene Of which is
partly IN ''Old Kent, place in which every
Marylander Of the genuine old stock has
interest and pride, is something so unusual
and surprising, especially in that section of
quietude, sobriety, and respeetability, that it
has caused considerable sensation.
The parties directly concerned are not of
high social standing, however, bnt evil
IDENTIFY belong to the humber class; yet
they had not prior to the Developments Of this
case put themselves beyond the pale Of that
sort OF Fespectability usually accorded te this
class. II remains 20 be seen whether the
charges can be sIbstantiated. Il seems TO be
generally admitted that the negro, who is the
principal witness, is a notorious liar.
You cannot have failed to notice the solic-
itous interest here in the efforts to resuscitate
the Taylor Manufacturing Company. Every
intelligent mind in the State outside Of Balti-
more, must realize that everything of nature
TO foster the welfare of any portion of Mary
land, IS dear to the people Of its metropolis.
Not only does Baltimore view with pleasure
any tokens of such prosperity because Of the
reluctant business advantage to herself, but
also because the city@is, to large extent,
made up of people from all the counties, and
there are ties of blood and friendship bind
ing her to every part of the State.
l have observed of late, some favorable
press notices of your paper. Compliments
seem TO be Just now in order. Allow me, an
earnest Republican, to say, therefore, and
| have not been without some means of OBJ
servation-that the Democratic Adrocdte is,
in every sense recognized by journalism, the
best n-metropolitan paper ever examined,
and many a time, while ensconced in a snug
retreat in Carroll, have | scanned its newsy
and entertaining columns. EDvISUs.

OUE BEEF AND DAIRY PRoDUcTs.-Tbe
Philadelphia Ledger, says Since cotton was
dethroned corn has become king. but the cow
IS after the corn and may yet have to be made
queen, since the COW now furnishes, in butter
and cheese alone, products second in value
only to the corn crop of the country. The
International Dairy Fair, which is to omen in
New York next week, has called attention to
the statistics of the butter and cheese manu-
iaeture, from which it appears that there are
thirteen million cows in the United States. or
more than there is in a number of European
nations having more than four times the non
sIlatIon of the United States. The value Of
butter and cheese products is fifty million
dollars more than the value of the wheat crop,
aud IS second only to that of corn. The i'm
portanee of the industry is further shown by
the fact that over six million dollars is paid
annually for the transportation ofbutter and
cheese to consumers, one million dollars being
paid as ocean freight. The exports have
been steadily increasing, and this year will
amount to one hundred and thirty million
pounds of cheese and twenty-five million
pounds of butter.

The second session of the 18th Con-
gress commences on Monday next, and as
it must close on the Sd of March its at
tention should be given strictly to matters
of business. It has been asserted by the
Washington correspondents that it will be
devoted TO business rather than buncombe,
but we fear that it viii be occupied with
political questions and tumultuous scenes
result, just as in the closing session of the
43d Congress, when the Republicans for
the last time ruled tie House of Repre-
sentatiyes. This session will witness for
the last time for some years Republican
supremacy in the Senate, and it is more
than likely they will make good use of
their power, just as the same party did
when relinquishing control of the House.

The German Baptist Church, to which he
had been attached since his early manhood,
has lost not only one of It's most exemplary
and upright members, but firm, fast and de-
voted friend, whose place cannot easily
be filled. His was the voice of encour-
agement to the young disciple, who sought
his advice ''to contend earnestly for the faith
which was once delivered unto the Saints
Not only was this true of him as Christian
and friend, but his department as a father
and husband, was in keeping with his con-
duct as a followerof the Divine Master. His
mild and even temper never failed to i'm
press those around him, and to exercise an
influence not soon forgotten.
He died at the age of 50 years, 10 months
and Is days. Within few yards of the well
known stone mansion west of our city, he
was born on the 2lst of December, I795, and
here he had for more than four score years,
lived and labored until death called him
away TO the Eternal Mansion.
His father was one Of three brothers who
emigrated from Lancaster county, Pa. short.
ly after the close of the Revolutionary War.
All of them settled in that part of MARYLAND,
now constituting our county. By industry
and enterprise, coupled with discreet econo-
my, all of them amassed considerable property.
Their descendants embrace a relationship
larger perhaps, than any in the county and
numbers among it some of our most valued
citizens.
