They had very different positions in society which affected their views. Calhoun was a slaveowner who was raised by a very pro-slavery father. As such, he benefited from the practice of slavery because it meant who owned a prosperous plantation. He also disagreed with abolitionism as a matter of principle, because he saw attempts to outlaw slavery or limit its spread as unconstitutional. He was also able to justify the awful breaches of human rights and dignity caused by slavery because he chose to view it as a right, seeing black people as lesser beings who should be grateful because they were being "cared for" in the slavery system. Additionally, like many other slaveowners at the time he defended the practice because it was supported by The Bible.
On the other hand, as a slave who had suffered his entire life as a slave, Nat Turner wished to see his suffering end. Not all enslaved people were entirely unhappy, but all wished for slavery to end because it was a cruel, dehumanizing, back-breaking practice. Nat Turner is known for his violent reaction to slavery, by leading an uprising which ended in the deaths of over 50 white men, women, and children, but his desire to see slavery ended is understandable. Nat Turner also was killed in the uprising.
