CALHOUN & JACKSON,

BRUTUS & CESAR.

AMERICANS, CoUNTRyMKs, and FRIENDS:
Hear me for my cause: and be attentive
that you may understand: believe noe fer mine
honor; and have respect for mine homer, that
yeu may believe, censure me in your wis
dom; and awake your senses that you may
the better Judge. If there be any in the u
nited States, any dear friend Of Jacksen's,
10 him | say that Caihoun's lovo for jack
son was no less than his. Ii that friend de-
mand, why Calhoun has thus exposed Jack
son, this is my answer-Not that loved
Jackson less, but that loved tho Republic
more. Had yeu rather jackson were Presi-
ID dent, and die all slaves, than that jackson
were at the Hermitage, and live ali Fremont
When Jackson was my friend, ! wcpt for
him; when he was made President, Irejoic-
nd at it, when he WAS valiant, it honored
him: but, as he has become deeeitfu, have
exposed him: There are tears for his friend
ship; icy for his Presidency, honor for his
valor, and exposure for his deception. Who
is there so base, that he would be bendmanp
Ii any, let him speak; for him have offend
cd. Who is there so rude that he would not
be an American? If any, let him speak; for
him have offended. Who is there so vile,
that he will not love the Unionp II any, let
him speak; fer him have efended--I shall
pause for a reply; and if there is none, then
none have offended have done no more
toJacksop than you should do to Calhoun; &
as have exposed Bay old friend for the Re
public, shall receive with resignation this
same treatment at your hands, whenever it
shall please my country to need my exposure
