The bllowfo are the judicious re marks of Mr. CalLoun, o which we have alluded. ' - On the one hand our opponents had manifestly the advantaged The love 'of j present casc:and enjoyment; the IovCot gam, and party zeal, were ion meirsiae. These, consliiuie part of ihaweakness of our nature. We naturally lead that way without thc.aris' of persuasion. Far more difficult is the task ot the ma jority. . Itis their's to Support (he dis tanr,'but lasting interest of our country. It is theii's to eleTate the minds of the people; 'and to call up ill those qua lities, by which present sacrifices arc made to Vccufe a fu'ufc good. ' On the other hand, our csijse is'nqt without its hope The i itercsi rT the people and ihat of the leaden of a party, re, as ob erved by a gentleman from N. ork fMr.H'nwicf en at variance, the peo ple are always readyi, unless led astray by ignorance or dcluMon, to participate in the success of the countrv, or. to sympathize in its adversity Very dif. fc'rciii are the feelings of the leaders ; on every grtat- measure they . stand pledged' against its success, and almos. iuvariably consider that their political conseq .en'cc depends on its defeat. TQe heat 'of debate,; the spirit of settled op- poskiahaod the confidtnt. prediction of disaster. areamong the causes .ot ims oppoftibn between thi interest of a par ty. and their country and ifir ho instance under our own government - have they existed io ;a greafcr degree than in re lation to the, present war.

Thus will the hldjnpfabes, ot the internal enemy be laid'opdi, Yih'. mask of the hvpocrite be removed, and the neutrality of the lukewarm cooled into its real character, or forced to seek warram ai me nre 1 oi national resent ment ; and thus' will the hajional ,'gof vernment be enabled to calcuUie,' witli precision, the real force of the country, as well as to judge that of the enemy. ON E ,0F YOURSELVES GREEKS IN FLORtDAi . V In Mr. Macon's speech, during the late ses sion f Congress, wherein he spoke . o f t he Biitish practice Aof naturalizatibn;there was an allusion to the Greeks in Florida, which' we believe was Understood by but tew of those Who heard hira, and Tewcr still of those who read the speech.
