We shoLtl like'to know wheire - Civilis ' derived his infintatio. Tie r very oppflositt of what he states is the truth of the matter. The State supported Gen. Cass in spite (if Mr. Calhoun. It is be lieved i1ht Mr. Callhon has never been in favor of Gen. Cass's election. It would not he going too far, pehaps, lo say he was opposed to-it. It is well knoWn. at least, that he first inclined 'to Gen. Taylor, on the .round, it is thouglt, of his being a no party man ; hot after the Plii;adelphia convention, Gan. Taylpr ailowin. himsell to be maile expressly the Whig candidate, Mr. Calhnun became etifirely neutral. He so exp'ressed himself, at the Charles totn meetiig, to which -Civiliia" refers, ;is he did, afterwards, in several letters Iade public. if he ever chaiged his neu trality, the change was never known to tile Caroliia public, tnr communicated, so far as we have been inflirmed, even to the Carolina rulers." I It is well known. also, that Mr. Calhoun was in favor of, atid actally urged stron; State-action on fha subjei of slavery. But how did his vienst; aff'ect the Carolina Legislature ? That body, it is trite, pa-a liht and hitternebs-is but the fancifull ceeitie or itis owni brain : the idle whim of reckless criminatiol, which hia no regard to candor orjustice. - SThe disrespectfil language in the close of his article iowards the legislative action or a si,vereign and sister State. is ton pen rile and empty tit demand reply, or to ex cite any other feeling than that of indilTer ence.
