al party. He possesses courage, considerable acquirements, and a capacity for receiving information from others. I need not say that he has none of the great attributes of Brougham,—his intense activity, his various learning, his infinite command of language. He regrets very much that ho could not visit the United States. Those of his suite who did, seem to have been well pleased. Gibbon Wakefield is going to write an article, pamphlet, or book, entitled Six Days in the United States. Calhoun made a great impression on Buller, and also on Mr. Phillips. Both of them speak of him as the most striking public man they have ever met,—remarkable for his ease, simplicity, and the readiness with which he unfolded himself. Buller says that Van Buren had the handsomest shoes and stockings he ever saw! I do not know if I have ever written you about Charles Austin.

t reverses. I agree with Mr. Giddings in his resolutions. Wilson's Rise and Fall of the Slave Power, Vol. I. p. 447. Indeed, they are the exact reverse of Mr. Calhoun's famous resolutions, adopted by the Senate three years ago; and from Mr. Calhoun's I most thoroughly dissent. Thank God! the Constitution of the United StateMr. Calhoun's I most thoroughly dissent. Thank God! the Constitution of the United States does not recognize man as property. It speaks of slaves as persons.
