Ask of the winds which flow iron* •jvery quarter of the Union—what ^ave" Mr. Calhoun the enviable popularity which he enjoyed in 8£3 There will be no dissonance in the reply. He was then the avowed, ardent, anxious advocate ot a system of internal improvement, and cl uomestic manufactures Kverv breeze which bore to the people the daily proofs of his attachment to those principles, returned freighted with daily tributes of public esteem and approbation. If we no longe hear of these acclamations ot the east and the west, hailing him as the champion of the principles and policy which characterized the administration of Mr. Monroe, where are we to look for the cause It is in the change which has taken place in. the opinions of the man.,

A moflientary glance at some of Mr. Calhoun's former opinions, and from those to one or two facts in his present course, will render the character and extent of this change more intelligible than columns of rt marks, unaccompanied by farts.

When Mr. Calhoun was in Congress, he made a speech in favor of Domestic Manufactures which lorci blv contrasts vvith some of the opinions of his personal aud political friends, and with his own present course. Mr. liaudolph hud moved to strike out the minimum valuation on cotton goods.1 he Southern gentlemen nave said much on the subject of the protection given to cotton. They tell us it was forced upon them, that they did not desire it, that they are willing to relinquish it. They teil us that the system of protection basin it the elements of destruction to our commerce and agriculture, and Mr. Calhoun, by his vote of last session, which negatived the woollens bill, gave his practical adhersion to these opinions —What said he in 1816 In reference to Mr. Randolph's motion, he said—

It will leave our cotton establishments exposed to the competition of the cotton goods of the Kast Indies, which, it is acknowledged on all sides, they are not capable of meeting with success, without the PROTECTION contained in the proviso proposed to be stricken out." *S ft was the opinion ol Vir. Calhoun, therefore, that the duty on cotton was necessary lor PROTECTION, although this position lias been so strongly denied by his successors on the floor of Congress.

Again, after adverting to the state uf the country, Mr. Calhoun says—. •'To this distressing state of things there are two remedies, only two one in our power immediately the other requiring much time and esertion, but both constituting, in his opinion, the essential policy of the country he meant the Navy and Domestic Manufacture?. By the former, we could open the way to our markets by the latter, we bring them from beyond the ocean, and neutralize them on our own soil."

After showing that there was a danger of a relaxation, during peace, in our efforts to create an efficient navy, he proceeds it becomes the duty of this House to resort to the only remaining remedy, the protection of our manufactures."

Meeting the objections made to the introduction of a system of manufactures, in the immature^ state of the country, he says—

The cotton and woollen manufactures are not to be introduced,as they arc

already

*'•'?k

introduced to a

great extent freeing us entirely from the Lazarda, and, in a great measure, the sacrifices experienced in giving the capital of the country a new direction." 7'

So high was the tone of feeling during the war, when some question was agitated respecting the introduction of foreign goods, that many then opposed it on the ground that it would injure our manufactures."

It will be said, if they are so far established and if the situation of the country is so favorable to their growth, where is the necessity of

'ording them protection Here follows the pregnant reply which Mr. Calhoun has now forgotten

It is to yut them beyond the

reach of contingency

He had for

gotten this when be turned a deaf car to the prayer of the manufacturers, and by his casting vote rejected their bill

Mr Calhoun aud iuternul Jm-

provements.—Having shown in a former article the past opinions of Mr. Calhoun on Domestic Manufactures, and his recent .practical denial of those opinions by his vote against the Woollens bill, we now propose to make a brief reference to his course as regards a. system of lutein.* orovement.

In the speech of Mr. Calhoun, ftom which we gave extracts }f

On these, (said Mr. Calhoun,) combined with Domestic Manufactures, does the moneyed capacity of this country, in war depend."

Regarding the weakness of our country as lying on the prodigious extent of its surlace, he relieu on roads and canals lo leaden theeviis arising from the remoteness of one part of our citizeua irom another.

Let us (said he) bind our coun-

try together with a good system ol

roads and canals.

space. ..t On the 7th of January, 1819, Mr. Calhoun made a report, as Secretary it War, on the establishment ol oao's and canals, which he commenes by adverting to the general po ifka'l advantages of a good system of roads and canals, independent ol their importance in a miiiiaiy point ol view. The main object ot that elaborate report i* 10 impress upon the nation the advantages—the necessity of this system. In it Mr. Calhoun uses the ^following langu a

No object is more impotfant. arid there is none to which state or individual capacity is more inadequate It must be perfected bv the generaf government, or net perfected at all at least Tor many years. No one or two States have a sufficient inferest."

Mr. Calhoun in the same reports designates, as among the national works which require the first attention of the government—" a canal from the Illinois river to Lake Michigan."^ Yet a bill granting to the State of Illinois lands to aid in making this canal was rejected in the Senate by the casting vote of Mr. Calhoun, in the first session of tlie 19th Congress. A measure suggested by Mr. Calhoun himself as one of the first necessity in the chain of public defence, in (he subjugation of space, and as opening a great commercial intercourse, is frustrated by Mr. Calhoun himself! Either (his inconsistency must arise from a complete abandonment of former opinions, or from pome counteracting circumstance not inferior in importance to the considerations which originally induced Mr. Calhoun to select this as one of the necessary objects for the employment of the public means. Mr Calhoun in his singular address to the Senate, a.week or two since, denies that it was'" an abandonment of the principles which he had before entertained and avowed on the subject of Internal fm-

In this it had the deed

aLe l]

we find it asserted that t.ie PK--rECTION of Domestic Manu.actures will introduce a prosperous and haopy era in our.count y, and he adds— -Vivw.--. lo give perfection to this sta of things, it will be necessary to add, as soori as possible, a system

internal impj'ovements.1 t..With a view to carry this opinion into practical operation, during the session of 1816-lT, he proposed to aet apart and pledge, as a iuud (or Internal Improvement, the bonus and United States' share of the dividends ot the Bank. He cousider ed that there was no object to which the public resources could be applied more important than Internal Improvement. He relied on roads and canals to equalize the advantages of a circulating medium. He said that the taxes are raised in every part of the country, while the expenditure must in its nature be confined principally to the scene of military operations thus the circulating medium is drawn from one part, and accumulated in another. It can only return through the operation of trade and hence the necessity for internal intercourse, by roads and canals. 4

^deration th'ch induced him to opmse the measure Mr. Calnoun riimielf shall answer the question--lie could not see the propriety of vivin" to the State ot lllin-ois a portion of the public property for the ronstruction of a canal which was NOT to be toil free." HerJ we haveMSfessilif put down by

of Mr. Cil!iouii,on

There is another expression in

He had

this address to the Senate, which we degree of exciteinejjt feel ourselves constrained to quote. Still referring to the. system of Internal Improvements, lie says

always

system abounded \Mth dillicuties which would eventually run it

NowV if Mr-. Calhoun always thought so, how is it, that when he brought all his zeal arul anility into operation to induce the commence-j tj^y are de ment of this system, he did not also )r reiativo exert himself to provide against thes^ difliculties How comes it that lie never alluded lo them in all his speeches and reports? He who is forewarned is forearmed. Ho.v cornes it that he absolutely forced tin-1 system upon the general government, if he always knew that it wouJd be eventually run down by its own difficulties The siicnce of Mr Cal :oun until recently on the subject of these difficulties, coupled with his own language in the conclusion of his address to the Senate, that, if fie knew himself, he never entertained an opinion which fie was not free to avow," leads us ir«esitably to the conclusion, that when he suggested the commencement of the system he did not entertain tne same opinion with which he has very recently favored us.

The vote of Mr Calhoun in favor of restricting the surveys is another instance of change of opinion and these changes indicate a vacillation of opinion which must have its origin either in an unripeness of judgment, or a desire to square his sentiments to the varying forms ot time and circumstance
