 We have great pleasure in laying before our readers, the following admirable letter oi j Mir. Calhoun to the citizens of Mobile, who had invited him to public dinner. It bears on every feature, and breathes in every word, , the impress and the spirit of its author consummate statesmanshp, and pure patriot zism. It's views and spirit deserve to be stud Z jed, and treasured up, by every lover of hls country. We preface it with the excellent remarks of the Memphis Appeal-ln direct reference to the electins now pending Tn Ten nessee. True, we have not, now, Tn Arkan- sas, any elections pending. Yet, in antlcl- patton, it is well to present just views, and form correct opinions, upon all questions of interest, so as to prepare for wise course, awhen the time raetion arrives. Next year. Hcandidates, for various offices, will be before 1.-the people of this State Let us, then, Tn Sgood time. and while the mind IS calm, and acool, and free from excitement, set about eX- aamining the pretensions of those who have abeen in office, and candidates for office, here- atofore, and who will be likely to present themselves again. Let us inquire what thelr acourse has been upon this most important 2subject of annexation-whether they were Hits original, or its sseleventh hour" friends 5 3whcther they preferred their own individual interest, or the interest of thcir friends, tc 2 the interest of their country-whether they Ehave been like President Jones of Texas 1opposed to it as long as they darcd to be

 55and have been forced into its support by the sIlrresistble wave of the popular will. The

 dsns involved in this catalogue arc justly slehargeabIe, not only to the Wings, but tC s,some profeSsing, and ,could-ba leading Dem

 aocrats, whom we are prepared to put our fin Seer upon, when the time and occasion requlr,

 Bus to do so In the recent, and heartfelt ajoy at the great Democratic victory, whicI aanimated every true democrat, the sins 0 ssthese secret enemies, and cold blooded friend

 1were almost forgotten, and, without let 0 4hindrance, they have been allowed to ming atheir, voices in the shouts of graduation 5 awhich pervaded the land. In the same wa,

 \ that many opponents of the late war-many aindeed, no doubt, who had burned "blu alghts' on the coast, joined, unreproved, il

 the shoutof victory; so, many opponents o Enumeration when they found their opposition

 was in vain, have now joined in the gla' sPuans which hail its success. It is the du aty of all true friends of annexation to kee] I all eye upon all such characters-and b. as guiltless of either nominating to office, O avoting for them, as they would be of sup d dporting an old blue-light anti-war Federalis dof the deepest dye.
