The Globe has done us the favor to notice our address to the public, and says, "if Mr. Clay were elected, Mr. Calhoun is well aware that it would instantly establish the southern league which is looked to by him as the only hope of ever again attaining political power." We are satisfied that this declaration of the Globe, the political vane by which the purposes of Mr. Van Buren are to be interpreted, deserves the consideration of every southern man, It is nothing more nor less than this: If Mr. Clay is elected the South will become united; the tariff will be satisfactorily adjusted; and that being the only impediment in his way, Mr. Calhoun will again attain political power. But, if Gen. Jackson is elected, he will so use his power and patronage" as to divide the south, prevent an adjustment of the tariff, and defeat Mr. Calhoun, by appointing Mr. Van Buren his successor. This is the only fair interpretation of which the remark of the Globe is susceptible. What is the relation which these four promi nent individuals bear towards each other? Mr. Clay has staked his fortunes upon his American System; Mr. Calhoun has decidedly taken the opposite side, and recommends to the south to unite in a measure of redress, which he main-hereafter, because he is opposed to it.

He thus assumes to be the section, as a party, and to prepare the partisans umpire, and says to the south, "but for me, of Mr. Clay in the north to unite with them in there would have been no modification of the support of Mr. Van Buren, as the successor of tariff;" while he would persuade the north, Gen.

The Expenditures of the Government, apart from the national debt, were, in 1822, 1823, 1824, 1825, 1826, 1827, 1828, 1829, 1830, 1831, $9,872,643 51 9,784,154.59. 10,330,144 71 only means of obtaining a further modification, and a satisfactory adjustment of the tariff. As between Gen. Jackson and Mr. Clay, there is now no longer any difference upon this subject, Mr. Clay and Gen. Jackson have combined their influence, and both have united on the tariff bill of the last session. So anxious has Gen. Jackson been to impose this bill upon the people, as a "judicious tarifi," that his agents have, from time to time, filled the public press with false and fraudulent calculations, purporting to have an official sanction.

Why is this so? * The question then is, will the election of Mr. Clay produce that southern league," upon which Mr. Calhoun's hopes of attaining politicapower depend? It is so asserted in the Globe; and believing that Mr. Calhoun is actuated by an honorable and patriotic ambition-that all his This seems to be a difficult problem, but it ends are for his country, it is due to him an is easily explained.
