Hon. John C. Calhoun. Being desirous that the public should be * made acquainted with the seemingly new i position of the Hon. John C. Calhoun we , annex the following letters touching the p condition of the two parties in connection with himself. They were called forth by a 'letter and editorial which appeared in the RonnKlirHri onmafimn ri ? ? - I .%. ? ?-? ' ?v|, viu.>vu.iuviii?iiilig OIIILC UI1U WI1IUU , 'to the view of Mr. Calhoun. It will be seen from the tenor of these let- ; 'ters that he disclaims any connection with j Democratic and manifests no opposition to i 'the Whig party. As he says his lias been ! an independant course so that lie has been j necessarily compelled io differ at times with both parties. And instead of saying he i ever differed with the Whigs, he says the j Democratic party was forccd through the j influence of their leader Mr. Vran Buren to , sustain the measures ho had supported i against him and General Jackson. And | how is it possible'that Jackson and Calhoun iiiVil V/Uia UIIIIU. JL aim JJIil<~l|cally opposed to each other, they ever remained so, and their principles are now antipodal. General Jackson by his proclamation which to subvert all State Rights ; which Mr. Calhoun has always upheld.? i This proclamation the Whigs opposed, and ! 'thus far their course, and Mr. Calhoun's ! run parallel. lie remains the same and is i yet a firm supporter of State Rights. And i where is his inconsistency? If si man throughout an independent course, has been ! supported at times by both parties, is that! necessarily inconsistency? On the other ' hand it is the best of consistency?a con- j sistency"irrespective of party and the most important in every well regulated Republi- j can Government. And when we consider rightly a man alwaysguided in his opinions j by the interest of the people instead of blindly submitting to the infatuation of party? ; A blind obedience to party is the bane of J our Republic. & I As for our own part we are not afraid to 1 express our opinion as regards this matter. I Without endorsing the course of Mr. Cal- i Jioun throughout and without any desire of; being foremost to bring him forward for any ! prominent station in the Union, and since j lie has lately opposed the Administration 1 in the ruinous war with Mexico, we must j sayjour former opposition towards him has i abated in a considerable degree. We can- i not but admire a man of such honest vhuvs, j pure character and lofty intellect. He j smwisneiore tne people ot the United States | aind independent patriotic Stateman?a most | precious jewel in the bright star of our lie-; public. He stands as tiie proud, tearless j arid indefatigable champion of the South J against the fanaticism of the North, and is ; *s est'matp^ at England and run Porn.?On a question for introducing into the House of Commons a bill to allow or advise her Majesty to send | an embassador to Rome, Lor<| John Russell j thought it then expedient, but said, "1 have seen, wiui very great pleasure, the course the present Pone has pursued,?cheers from both sides of the House.?and I think it will tend much to increase the happiness of thte people of Italy. I have no hesitation in saying that I think it would be desirable that these more formal relations should be established,?(hear, hear,)?but the question is one in point of law and of policy ; in point of law exceedingly intricate; and in point of policy one that is likely to excite considerable discussion.

The Piedmoniese woman wear an extraordinary cap of lace and frills standing out like a fan, and looks as ?if some strange bird had alighted upon the shoulders. The peasantry of Modena deck themselves with a minaeturc strow hat, ahout half as large as the head, and full of plumes and colored ribhons; which they place upon the crown of the head. The Tuscans, on the other extreme, wear a hat nearly as large as an umbrella. It is made of the beautiful Tuscan straw, and waving in the brcese above the fresh and agreeable countenances of the inhabitants, is far from being ungrateful. The most graceful custom prevails in Genoa. Kernelos never appear in the streets in that city without a light scarf of white gauze thrown over the head, and falling gracefully over the shoulders. Those costumes never change, but descend from generation to gen. oration: America is the only nation where the fashions are changed twice a year. Missionary Intellujkxce.?Rev.

The authorities arc very friendly to his mission, and impose no restraints upon his intercourse with the people; this he attributcsin part to the influence of the lamented Dr. Abeel, who was instrumental in the conversion of two or three persons there.
