Ar. Calhoun's Position. Constder

in that city on the 10th ult., and also as to
his position with regard to the respective

fe Charleston Mercury addressed him a
note, accompanied by that papers report
of his remarks, with a request that he (Mr.
Calhoun) would say whether or not they
were correct. The following letter in
answer to this communication, we find in
the Mercury of Tuesday morning last.
Mr. Calhoun, it will be seen, occupies an
entirely neutral position. We need not
ask for this short letter a careful perusal,
knowing, as we do, that anything coming
from such a source, under present circum-
stances, will necessarily command atten-

David 8. feiUWhether our gal
lant leader Col. Reid is really our
Governor or not, one thing is certain, and
that is, he has endeared himself to the
whole State, in a manner that will never be
forgotten by them. He assumed their
Standard when it was comparatively spea
king, dragging in the dust, and
he has borne it aloft most gallantly in
triumph. Asa democrat and a humble
member of the democratic press, we tender
him our sincere and hearty congratulations
for the gallant fight he has made for us
as our standard bearer in the memorable
struggle thro which we have passed. Col.
Reid has done nobly. Tie has revolution
ized, or rather, under his gallant lead, the
State has been completely revolutionized.
Whether elected or defeated, he will
always bear w'itrtjimthe respect, admira
tion and gratitude of the Republican party.-
If he does not nil the Gubernatorial Chair
on the 1st of January, 1849 he will do so
on the 1st of January, 1851. We wish this
to be remembered. ibA t!

General Taylor,' in reference to the free soil
question, is, I can assure jrou, well founded.
A friend of mine, in whom I repose implicit
confidence, had a conversation with the
general on this subject last May, and in
letter to me, dated the 10th of that month,
he reports that conversation in full. The
ground taken by, him is, that the ordinance
of 'S7 having been passed by Congress,
approved by Washington and upheld by
the judiciary, the constitutionality of
the measure has been settled by all
departments of the Government, and
consequently there is no ground left for
the interposition qf the veto. He told my
friend tlut he would, neither veto the
Wilmot proviso, nor would he intrigue
against it, nor do any thing to embarrass
its passage through the two houses of
Congress.

we have ever received intelligence from

for the following items:
Mr. Elliott Lee who we reported in
our last number as having been killed,
is still living. He was found by Mr. Boggt,
not far from the place where he was left
by the party, who supposed him dead.
Mc was shot through the thigh. He was
taken into the settlement at the Moro,
where they left him doing finely.

Mrs. Peyton,) that she is now lying at the
point of death, while as may be supposed,
the entire family, including some of the?
