It seems to us that Mr. Calhoun is troub
led with a morbid desire to be singular—an
unconquerable passion to pursue an imprac
ticable course ori almost every question that
is presented for action to the politicians of
the country. It is this unhappy tempera.
ment, which makes it continually necesea.
ry for him to "define his position," for so
erratic is his progress, that u ere he n a' to
do so, it would be very difficult for the peo
ple, and especially, that portion of them
which gives
,but little attention to political
mattere, to tell to what party he belongs,
or approaches most nearly, for he seems to
think himself too great a ma') to attach him
self outright to any party, or to submit to
the rules and usages by which parties can
act effectively. It is to this same proneness
to eccentricity, that we must attribute his
interference in favor of the banks, when it
was proposed to make then subject to the I

He has made-so many conditions, that we
would not wonder if his proposals should
be thrown out entirely,when the Convention
meets. It seems to us very like presump.
tion in Mr, Calhoun to come before 'the
Democracy with a virteal avowal that he
believes their previous conventions have
not been "fairly called and constituted," rod
vouchsafe with such lofty condescension, to
submit to the convention if he could have
matters arranged exactly to hie own amis.
faction. It would have been better, per
haps, if Mr. Calhoun had succinctly stated
the terms on which he would go into con
vention—how it must be "called arid con
stituted," and when it must be held—not
because we think the Democracy of the
Union are prepared to let Mr. C. or his
friends prescribe the precise mode of pro
ceeding—but to see how far their presump
tion would carry them.
We cannot but reiterate the opinion ex
pressed some time ago, that Mr. Calhoun's
Wait& have placed him without the pale of
tlwe whose claims are to be decided upon
Mlle National convention. Their talk a
bout the kind of a convention they will sub,
mit to, means just this: that they *lit-go in
to a convention that they believe will normx
mate that gentleman, and no other will suit
them—no other cal be rightly c6nstittited.
For our own part, we feel perfectly indif,
(erect as to what he or they may conclude
to do. We should surely be glad to have
the aid of Mr. C. in electing the Democrat_
is nominee. But we also remember that
Democratic Presidents have been elected
without his help and against his wishes.

decided advantage over

ry of his own father and to have "fought,
bled and died" in several battles of the
revolution. His blood was spilt at the
battle of Long Island and he sufr , ire,' "in

In the rourme of the description give•
of himself by the editor of tho Gazette,
we find that he is of a stock that will never
waver when, he has determined in his
mind to pursue a certain course. In re•
Plying to an insinuation of the Advocate,
he sap, "We have lied frequent ovor
tunities of engaging iu newspapers of pol.
hies averse to our own,but our conscience
is not sufficientli elastic to permit us to
publish one thing and believe another. But
having engaged in the task (i. e. publish,
ing one thing . and believing another,) we
are not to be driven from it, though all the
imps of darkness, backed by all the force
of the bloody institution, are let loose upon
us."
From this the public may infer that the
Deacon's antimasonry is all a humbug,and
that although he is in the habit of abusing
the masonic fraternity daily, they must not
suppose that he believes a word of what
he says, but conclude that he only does it
because he was engaged in the •'task."---
This explanation will no doubt make the
masons feel easier, and the Lodge may
live in the hope, that ere long the worthy
Deacon may again take a ride on the Goat.

returns we have received are in the Nat,
Intelligencer and the Baltimore Sun.—
Those in the Sun are y..ry meagre and
contain no information of what may be the
result, but the melancholy tone of the let
telligencer indicates but too truly, that the
'coons are dead in old Virginia. It says
that Mr. BOTTS has lost his election
(through the supineness of the whips of
course) by something like a hundred votes.
Botts ought to die now, right off:
In Richmond the vote fur Botis was

of nada flourish. Stores which might
have remained unoccupied for months
Entire found tenants,- and persona unem
ployed have found 'something to do.' We
see, too, in the streets a greas number of
strange faces, men from the interior, who
Come on us with well lined purses to make
their spring purchases. Like the fir'st
birds in spring, they come bringing with
them notes of gladness, infusing good hu
mor sand animation on all aides. We
would feign hope that the day of adversity
has passed away, and that we shall soon be
on the full tide of a cloudless prosperity.
If so heavy a business is not doing as has
been done in prosperous times hereto,

fare foundation that cannot be destroyed
by every adverse freak of fortune. —Ba It
