From the South Cornliniun, ; ,
JOHN C. CALIIOUN. ; \
We clip the following from the corres- ; \
pondence of the Charleston Cornier. The j f
writer is one of its owners who has heen : i
summering it through Georgi i, nnd i-; j c
doubtless well informed of the tone of
public sentiment. What fiicnd of the j r
<South would not hnil the nomination of
Mr. Calhoun us candidate for tlu* Piv.?i. >
dencv? Is there n true devoted fiicnd of <
the Union who would not aid in elevating J 1
liim to a position who*e his (loop nnd j i
pure pfttrio*i<m?hnnokrouli'dired states |'
mnnship nnd ability, could l:c brought to j i
benr upon the troul led wntcsnf cup- po- ! 1
litical agitation? Let the Whips and i
Democrats of the South only de e- miff j
to put him in the field, independent, of all j t
other issues hut the constilU'ionid adjust- . i
ment and final settlement of the .>live>y i
question, and then let th.em fro to the
work heart and soid, and with the rid of t
the lovers ol the Constitution North and i
West, thev can elect him 1 '
, # I 1
Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, and Mi**.- 1
Wipri could give this nomination nn im- 1
petus wlncli would send it forth with n 1
strength that would cause the people to ! i
pause and reflect upon the subject, and j <
unquestionably tend to wean them mere i
party affections, when the good of the ' 1
whole country and the continuance of the i
Union, i" its original integrity, were tiie j
ends to be accomplished. ' <
"On one matter, which I have verv
near my heart, as connected, I sin?er"lv '
believe, with tb? *
- ?vnb mm nmsi Vl'H! Ill- I
terests of the South nrd of the Union, (
T have sounded a few Oeo,-?iin-, bo'h
Whips and Democrats., and not to mv salt - *
infliction. 1 allude to the elevation of 1
John C. Calbonn, the favo i'e t-on of <
South Cnrolinn. rnd the gre^t, statesman
and unteriified champion of tin; South to i
the Presidency of our great. Republic. T i
firmly and conscientiously believe that
bis installation in that blph office is called
for, nay, demanded, by the present cii-is i
of common peril to the whole Soutb.
and consequently to the whole Union;
nnd that, if elected to tlmt
__ . .. , ..MV f/? V-I 111111*7111
dignity, he would administer to the government
and manage our concerns, domestic
and foreign, with paltlot wisdom
nnd unsurpassed ability, to the harmony
of the Union, the safety of the South, the
welfme of the entire country nnd the
v hole Confederacy, nnd his own es?lted
und undying glory. The nomination of
t? national convention of either of the
parties I feel certain ho will never get?
political wire-workers nnd managers, ns
incy nnvc hitherto done from the begin- '
ning and throughout the whole progress j
of tbe politicnl chnpter, since be Iris been
nn aspirant for the Presidency, will continue
to jockey nnd cbent him to the end
of tbe. chnpter. Let him, however, but
be nominnted as nn independent cnndidate ,
?as the people's candidate?in nnv nook
or corner, however obscure, of Virtjinin, :
Georgia, or Alabama, and let his friends
nail his colors to the mast, and I vei ilv j
believe that his chance of success would i
IX! oflhe most probilile find eheerincr
enamel or. If the South, true to herself,
end to her own clinracter nnd interests
would but rally on him, I feoleverv assurance
that n sufficiency of Northern nnd
Western etrength would be added to the
Southern phalanx to eonfer him the mantle
