Iade public. if he ever chaiged his neu
trality, the change was never known to tile

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
