or since you were invited TO resign it.. If you though
ahdreW jackson a corrupt and dishonest man when yo,
were secretary oil the Treasury, was it not most base il
you to consent to form part of his cabinet? WHY did vor
not resign as soon as you entertained this opinion o.
so hard Wv" "'
1t you thought him an honest man until he turned yo,
out d once, may we not conclude that that was the truth
Silce you certainly had a better opportunity of ESTIMATING

rural retreat in Bucks county.
BE pleased TO select whichever horn of this dilemma
you best fancy, and let the public hear your choice ria the

Extremely anxious about the course of South Carolin,
Cthe free trade party cannot afford TO lose their ablest advo-

little delay as a prudent caution against precipitate
