is in the words of the Courier & Enquirer

was required to give his opinion inj writ

of the act for the admission f of Missouri

of 1787, tp more than half (if the Whole

were introduced by Mr. Calljoun, tojmake
a test for himself at the Presidential elec
tion which no Northern man could stand.
Before the debate came fon, however, the
proofs of the opinion, which! Mr. Calhoun
gave in 1820, were brought forward to his
utter confusion and the entire prostration
of his resolutions. These proofs consist?
ed of the original interrogation, propound
ed to his Cabinef by Mr. Monroe, jn his
own handwriting and the daft of af letter

questions were answered auirmatively by
every member ot the Cabinet, mrl Cal

of J. Q. jfVdams, stating tjte samei facts
concerning the action of the members of

The first th ing which struck us, on read
