Some OF the whig presses have lately dis
covered that Mr.. Calhoun is a very inferior
sort of a man. This is the practical COM
ment upon their rnle--as they have all the
talent, instance. Mr.. Crockett, and all the
decency; ,videGcet, Messrs. Wise and Pey-
ton-it follows as matter of course that
any man who differs from them, sinks, from
that circumstance, into immediate ignorance.
In fact, if we may judge from their language,
every thing opposed to the Bank Aristocracy

force by the Senator from South Carolina,
who sits near me, and that is the triumph
