Ho advai llo ndvanccs his olycctions agaui' st thc proposcd Convcntion at Baltimore, anu cndcavors to reuut mc rcnsonings oi thos') who support it. His wholc course of argumcnt appears to us, from a hasty t(.aow 0f tho Address, to bc rathor shad ,.i n:.. ii ,..i .,j t...t..i.. I tial. Ouc can harulv read it, without 1 resiucncy. 11c mcrely rctuses to allow whelher any nnd. if ony, what furthcr measurcs shall ho takcn, in rcfcrenco to his claitns to thc Presidency Thoso who, not bcing sufficicntly nc quainted with Mr Calhouu's ambitious vicws aud bittcr fcelings havo supposed it possible that hc might bo so fnr c.xaspcra- Country to o state of prosperity and hap piness. Ilow Mr Calhouu with hiscycs open. and with a scrious countccancc-can asscrt that the auspiccs, evcry wherc, "pro. clain tho approaching downfall of protec- iiu.j, i.iju .iic jiiiiumui.ui l.iuujpil oi r'rco Tradc." is morc than we can wcll imag inc. Therc has ncvcr bccn a momctit, when tho doctrinc of protcctinz tho pro duct and the labor of tho Country was morc likely, than at thc prcsent inomcnt, to bccome thofixcd and scttlcd policy of our Govcrnmunt, oj whcn it was moro generally sanctioncd and supportcd by tho People. " Having now assigned the rcasons for rcfusing to pcrmit my name to go before tho Baltimore Convcntion. it rcst3 with you who have placed it bcfoic the people and asscntcd to abidc by a Convcntion fairly constituted, to dctcrmine what courso you will pursue. Be your dccision what it may, I shall bc contcnt. But I regard it as duo to the occasion. to you and to myself, to declare, that under no circumstanccs whatcvcr shall I support any candidatc, who is op. puscd to frco tradc. and in favor ofthe pro. tcctive policy, or whosc promincnt and in. fluentiat friends and supportcrs are. I hold Ihe policy to Lo nnother namo for a system of monopoly and plunder,and to bc j thoroughly snti-Rcpublican and Tcderal in its charactcr. I also hold, that so long as thc dutics arcso laid as'tobo in fact boun tics to ono portion of thc community. while they operato as opprcssiva taxca on thc othcr, therc can bo no hopc that the Governmcnt can bc rcformcd, or its c.x penditurcs will bc rcduccd to tho propcr standard. Where I, with tho cvidence heforo mo. to yay othurwisc of my course, it would bc, practically, to dcclaro that I regard the protective policy to bo an open qiiestion, so far as tho party is conccrned ; which I wculd cousider, on my part, a virtual aban donmeiit of the cause of Frec Tradc. That can nevcr he. I have dono and suffered to much for it, whcn its friends were few and feeble, to abandon it now now.when the auspices evcry where. on this and the other sidc of the Atlantic, proclaim tho approaching downfall of protcction, and ths permanent triumph of Frco Tradc. I, who uphcld it against monopoly and plun dcr, in tho worst of times, and bravcd tho menaccs of Admiuistrtitiou, and Oppo sition, whcn backed up by a singlc State will not cannot abandon tho glorious causo now, whcn its hanncr waves in proud triumph over tho mctropolis of thc commcrcial world. No, I shall inaintain immoveably tho ground I have so long oc cupicd, until I have witncsscd its grcat and final victory, ifit ihall pleaso tho Dis. poser of cvents to spare my Iifc so long It will bo indced, a victokv tho hsrbin gcr of a new and briglitcr and highcr ciy. ilization. Much lcss, still, can I givo my support to any candidatc who shall givc his aid or couutenancc to the agilation of abolition in Congress or clsewhcrc ; or whose prom inent and influcntial friends and suppot. tcrs ihall. I dcuht tho sincerity of any man, who dcclarcs hc is no abolitionist, whilst, at tho snmo titnc, he aids or coun tcnances thc agitation of the qucsliou, bo his pretest what it may. If we have a right to our slaves, wo have the right to hold thcrn in pcaco and quict. If the Constituiion garanlecs tho onc, it garan- tecs the othcr ; aud ifit foibids tho one from bcing attackcd, it cqually forbids the othcr. Indccd, thc onc stnnds to the oth cr as mcans to an cnd, aml is so avowed by tho abolitionists ; and on tho plainest principlcs ol inorals, if the cnd bo pro hibited, tho means ot effccting it also arc. Of tho two. I rcgardcd the doluded fanat ic far lcss guilty and dangcrous than hc who, for patty or political purposcs, aids or countcnanccs him, in what ho knows is intcndcd to do that which ho acknowlcd' gcs to be forhidun by the constituon. It is time that an end should be put to this system of plunder and agitation. Thcy havo bcen horno long cnough. Thcy are kindrcdjncasurcs, and hoslilo as fair, ut Icast, as cne portion ofthe Union is con ccrned. Whilo the tarifT takcs from us thc nrocecds of our labor, abolition strikcs at tho labor itself. Tho ono robs us of our inconic, while the other aims at des troying tho sourcc from which that in come is dcrivcd. It is impossiblc forus to stand patiently much longor, under their doublc opcration, without bcing impover ishcd'and ruincd. JOUN C. CALHOUN. Jonx P.

MR. McDUFlTE ON DISSOLUTION. From our congressioual rccord it will be secn that Mr. McDuflie has bccn again shad owiug forth the beauties of Nullification which have so Iodjt infcctcd tiio hraius of South Carolica poiiticians, with Calhouu at their head, aud which he asserts will cre long be realizcd. There is little doubt that thcsc isacrcs still hcrbur desigus of a dissolution of tlie union,and thc ercctionofrcpublics ora triumviratc of rcnublics on its ruins. Their incxtinguishable hatrcd to thc North, is not cvcu attcicptcd to be hliukcd iu thc least. Our prosperity and wealth, spriugiug froin the indomitablc iudustry of our cntcrprising popuhitiou, hauuts thc imagiiiation of thcsc gcutlcuicn of thc whip, by uight aud by day. Nor while wrapt iu the frightful conteinpla tiou do thcy ccase to depict to themselvcs thc brilliaut dcstiuy which awaits asouthcrn con fcdcracy, cujoying the rights of sclf govern mcnt, aud frccd from the system of 'jiluuder' which thcy protend tho principlo of protcc tion entails upou them. Ncvcr did cnlhusi- asts induli-c iu inorc fantastic visions than thesc silly abstractiouists. Thc arraiigcuiciit of thcirprojectcd coufcderacics as their hutin darics !c cxtmt is notmoic imaginatlve than tho rclativc pocr and prosperity with which McDuflie iuvests them. Who cau bclicvo iu the combinatious hc has made? Ilow cau it bc rcndcrcd crcdiblc that thc states in thc vul lcy of the Mississippi, and cxtcudiug north to thc lakcs, now linkcd to tho northeast by evcry easy and dircct mcans of iutcrcom municiition, bytics of blood, by similarity of institutioiis, of habits and ideutity of inter ests would evcr for a momcut tbink of fra tcruizing with the proud, dominccriug ncgro drivcrs of .s'outh Caroliua, Alabama andMis sissippi, whosc physical strcnglh.ifl utterly paralyzcd by slavery, aud who must soon fall an easy prcyto their morecnterprisiiiguorth cru neighbors, orbccome the victims of tho cxaspcratcd Africsns whom thcy now hold iu bondaga. But what would bc quitc as un palatcablc, Iiow would they rchsh au union with men whosc avowed policy would soon reducc them to a colouial dcpeudcucc upou Britain. Evcry mcrely agricultural country iu the rango of history which has purchascd her mattufactures abroad, has been impovcr ished and rcndcrcd subscrvieut to thc nation uhich has rcapt thc proOtsof the cxhausting intercoursc. But howcver prcposterous thecxpectatious of ths mad Ilamlcts of South Caroliua may be, it is very cvideut that taking their cuc from McDuffie, they have agaiu bccome so infatuatcd with their visionaryprojects, as to be ready to tcar up the constitution and di3- solvethcunion. Thisncw outbrrakii onlyan other edition ofthe nullification of 1832 which if pcrsisted in as commcnced, would have re- sultcd in open rcbelion, aud entitled its pro- jcctors to a gibbct. There can be little doubt that thesplendid scherae of a southern con federacy which has been so long ilickcring up on its embers is coutcmplatcd agaiu to be blown up by the same restlcssaspirant whose disappoitited ambition is again urging him forward to deeds of despcratc daring. Thc anncxation of Texas is iutendcd as a prclini inary step to the unmasking of the trailorous conspiraey.
