 MT. Webster and Mir. Calhoun have both writ ten letters defining their position in the coming Presidential contest, and now we find one in the Globe from Col. Johnson defining his. It is short and explicit enough. The Col. does not withdraw his name from the Baltimore Convention, but holds the field gallantly in competition with Van Buren. He is not quarrelsome, however, but expresses his utmost readiness to take the Vice Presidency, if he cannot get the Presidency, or indeed any place. He is ready to go blindfold and headlong wherev- CT the party pushes him. He says if he gets the nomination for the Presidency he will accept it with thankfulness though with reluctance-if for the Vice Presidency he will take it with gratitude and leasireiffor neither, he does not say he will be thankful pleased, but he promises he will not grumble-Iri6,see.
