tage of mistating, at will, the propositions he
seeks to varinqish. Our correspondent has bela.
bored most tistily, some men of straw of iis
own iaking. Where is the proof that the ad
vocates ot Col. Itichardson, clamorously, for
some weeks, announced him astlie chosen and
favored endidate of Mr. Calhoun? Those who
justly apprecia:e the far-seeing sagacity and
great comprehensiveness of Mr. C.'s- views,
have occasion to regret tl:nt too often in other
States. and someties in his own, lie seems to
be regarded merely as the leader of a party,
which. however sound in its tenets. aid pure
in its purposes, is feeble in number out of South
Carolinja. Any thing calcilated to remove
this preindice, and place Mr. C. in the true as
pect-as an cilighlened statesman, looking to
the inerests of the whole country, may be fitly
addressed to the people or his native 'state, who
cheri.-h his renown with proper pride, without
conveyiig any aspersioi upon them as scr
vile or timid. The friends of Col. R. have ar
gued that ;he intercsts aid usefinessof Mr. C.
might be promoted by selecting one of hiis
friends a a ncandidate for Governor, who was
not of the particular party, within the limi!s of
wlhich.it has been sipposed,that the patriotisn:,
and the popilmity of Mr. C. were confined;
but that 31r. C. h:ad chosen Col. R. as the can
didate, or had itierfered in ihe contest as a par.
tizan, is Turnuitill's owin windmill, and lie nay
denolish it to his heart's content. If Mr. C.
has expressed any preference of Col. R., we
presuime this was lone in private conversa
tion, and propriety wonld require its to slp
press any evidence we might have on the snb
ject. W e should be pleased, however, to be
infornied how it has been ascertained that Mr.
C. "entertains no preference for ihat gentle
man." and when, and where " he has declared
decided disapprohnmtion," (wl.at pretty alliter
ation?) ' -ifthie gratuitons use whieb has been
made of his great name in bolstering up Col.
R. " If this lie dedneed, as it seens to lie, to
gether with a flonrish ahont "-precipitate:m, ut.
ter ahatdotnment of groinl," from the cotajec
itnre of ihll? edi'or of the South Carolinian, that
Mr C. litd taken, and would tWae, no part in

Another windmill that Turnbull has hombar
del with very heavy artillery. is. that the site
cess of col. ft. w is impiortantt to iiicrease the
m11:1um ity in this State., upon the qoistion of

imerely pnhile opinioi, artd not inter.ded as the

of Col. Rt. had been looking only at one ques
tioni, or evenu onie State, it is stranige that lie
shuld have been annoutnced. as Tutrnbutll in
formts its that lie was, as " the Democratic. Sub
reasuiry candidate:" for ihis word Democrat
ic, by its own force, distingishes him ats a sup
porter, getnerally, aind upont other questions, of
the existitng Adiniiisti ation of the Federal
Governmientt. It is an aansinig inttatnce of the
fteility with wvhtch Tnbull jnmps to his con
closions, that he supposems the groundi we haive
bieen conisidering, as nhandoned biy the friends
of Col. R , becanse the editor of the Mercutry
remarked, in snbstance, that the resutlt of the
electioni of Govertnor wvould create n serious
division of the Sub-.Treasnry piarty ini this
State, meaning onlhy to imply thaerebiy, as we
initerpir-t the remaark, that the adherents of otht
er canididates besides Col RI were toto rew.
even if they aill felhl off', seriottsly to impair the
integrity of the Sub-tTreastury party.
Tin conlnexion with this topjic, it is alleged by
Turtnbull, thui Col. Hlammnond is as statnnch as
CoI. R. tipont the question of thme Stub-Trens
nt:-y. It may be sot, yet there is at least, this dif
ference bet ween thetm: CoI. R. is openly enlist
oil during the wvar, and confessedly lhts clone ser
vice otn the qutestin; Col. HI. is nit committed,
we believe, by any speech, report oir formal
declaraitiona wv hatsoever, anor any otherwise titan
by statetmnts to his friends, ini private conver
sationi.

imentning, we suppose, Col. H WVe protest a'

ciLttintmiand proof. Let sutch exaggeration, or
disparagement lie particenl:irly set forth, that
blame amuy mttneh to the real delinquent. In
what itnstmtice has nndeserved praise been be
stowved upoat Col. Rt.? By whtat remark, has
Col HI. beven uingenerously dispairaged f Whent,
or by wvhonm, have the intellect, or morals, or

Turnhlitl insists thtat the annonnreement of
CoI. It. nai andidate. "was thme notninationt of
a few. and nit the seineciiin of a party." Graunt
in~g this for argumitent, it enna seatrcely he qumes

We can scarcely speak, wjh that courtesy
which we desire to cherish towards the writer
of the conclhding portion of Turnbiulls com
munication We must characterize it as a most
mischievous attempt to evoke the most malig
nant prejndices of the populace. For what
good purpose are the smothered fires of the
Nullification struggle to be again raked fropi
the ashes ? Can tiny patriot desire wantonly
to raise the arm of brotbei against brother in
horrid strife ? Those who havesupported the
claims of Col. Richardson through ie colninna
of this paper, wetenul'ifiers from ihe beginning
to the close of the contest,and ready at all times
and in any manner becoming aunlat to defend
the rights of the State-but they laid aside their
regimentals when all danger of a struggle had
passed away. They desire to look upon their
fellow-citizens of the Union party as in "peace
friends." " A new recruit, only 3 esterday en
listed" may sport his cockade as a pretty play
thing-he will get into the paroxysm of mar
tial arder long after the veteran has sweated it

we fo-und it very difficult to do so. Though
Inng. it is ccndenied, and has nothis:g inper
fliuotis aiont it. It has no verbiage like the
speeches of Congress orators, generally. In
it, "there is no line whic h we would wish to
b:at!" Condensation and a totalabsence ot su
perfinity, eminently characterize thetsieeches-of
Mr. Calhoun. He rarely saysany thing which
is not to the purpose. His arguments tell at
once, and with tremendous power. The snb
ject Ott Which he made the able speech that we
publish in our columns, was by no means. one
of mtior inportance. It would shortly have
assumed a fearful magnitude, lend it not been
met promptly, and set to rest we trust at once.
Our readers will remember that the Senate, by
an overwhelming majority, adopted die report
and resolutions againest the assumrrption of State
debts. This qucestion will neow be suff'ered to

THE GRAND REGUl.ATOR.
Nothing is more common than to attribute
die present wretched condition of the currency
throughout our country, to the wan~t of a Na
tionael Bank. Thme establishment of an institu
tion of this character, ini the opinion of a large
and respecuable portien of thme community,
would remtove every evil, to which the money
ed class ire subject. A Grand Bank with thee;
would he a grand pann~cea. It would be like
thre fanmous L aIm of Gilened, or any other of thte
patenmt nostreeusfthe day~ra perfect cuere forahl
the ills that the pockef, not thefesh, " is heir to."
Thre Merchants, that deserving class of citi
z.ens, leave generaliffallen into this erroneous
ntortn. In the At'anetic ciis, the mnajority of
them are supposed to be orpposed to ane lade-,
penudent Treasury, and in favor of a Nationtal
Bank. They see the present d'erangement of -
the currency, and they naturally wish for a
remedy. They suppose that the creation of a
National Bank, which. with its inimenrse
capital, and mighty resources. would control
the State institumns. and chenk them in all
their operations of beusinuess. or profit, wvould.
restore a sound anud tuniformnenrrency at once.
Nothing ean be more lamentable, or wanere eer
