am no champion of the BANK; vet it is a
me tact, well deserving notice, that
the i,"iis-4re tire child of q maiority--a hand
some majority of both houses of Congress:
aud of course sanctioned by the immediate
representatives FRESH from the great body of the
PeoPte-Whtf your election dates back to the goth
ic era of 1928! l could feel disposed TO overlook
your VETO on that poP"iar Bin, had you not acted
Tie part OF CLEoN. and played the begger to the
people, IN your eagcrncss to solicit their votes.
From the stigma of this derogatory and mean act
You can never recover. 1t is n blot in your history
which twenty reflections could not obliteratc
III was Mark 3DthORy speaking in the order of
Ctesor's FUBerGt;-and taking advantage of the pri-
vilege TO excite the mob To mutiny, riot and insur-
rcction, upon the ruins Of the noblest Constitution
reared by the wiSdo" of man 10 promote the happi-
ness OF free people. Over this last disgracefnl
act OF your life, let drop the pail of pity whilst
L proceed 10 other, not less henous, but less OBJ
served mfractons of the Creed of the Patriot, and
tho sacred duty of the citizen, the man, aud the
Magistrate.
You have proclaimed yoursclfa NuLLrrEn. Tho
votes of Virginia, Georgia. and South Carolina
were too luscious to he lost Vengeance, combined
with Anbti0n to drive You TO commit the treason
ot IA Nullliier; and i'll fell breath, to den0unce
the Union, the Supreme Court, the Tariff, and In
ternnl improvements. You painted for vengeance
upod JOhn e. Calhoun, who, in an evil hour en-
trenched himself in The swamps of that most sense
less of all treasons, NuHifcafioa! Without syl-
liable of argument for you cannot comprehend his
theory-amd without shadow of apoogy-for
your arrogance sustans you in the most absurd and
netarions assnmptions-you have supplaned Mr.
Calhoun on his own field and now riot In the glory
of per jured Nuiicr! Yes you have secured the
votes of the SOuih-but at what a fearful price,-
The tyrant Richard the Sd murdered children
baoes-to reach the thrOne-but you assassinate
the rights, and murder the happiness and freedom
! oil whole generations of children unborn! Wha.
olood You may cause to be shed, in your wanton
and during career of ambition, will depend on the
virtue, ana the patience, the miscreant conduct
and scrvile spirit of the people. The time has
passed, when the voice of the majority ruled
The tyranny OF the Vcte of the King now governs
!
ty of thirteen millions of People. How long this
total inversion of the first principle of freedom can
DC endured with patience it would be a libel on
human nature TO calculate. A pcople who do not
resent the blow inflicted on one check will never
spurn the execrabe hand that struggles to Cypress
them, when it strikes both The sense of injury
once nduratcd, and slavery follows, the crown,
ing act OF a vile and degenerate race.
How changed do now behold you, from TIE
period when You RESIGNED IN The SENATE,
lest 'iien should suspect, that even the glance of
your eye, should bring undue influence in your
tavour!! Now--on the THRoNE-in the full exer-
else OF the colossal patronage of the Federal Go.
verninent, you arc busily engaged in directing that
power TO secure your lection! You have cast
aside the affected of the DIssEMRLER for
the open prostitution of the Domagogue.. Yet
for their votes from a full IreasuIy-but your
one no longer hailowed by one pure thought no
object, one patriotic measure.
Before conclude this Letter, lei me invite Won
to reflect, if that faculty has yet been left to you
of great Poet
"What gave great Vcrs to the assassin's knife,
"And fiXd disease on Harleys closing life?
IVY nat mlrdcr'd Wentworth, and what eXild HYDE,
"By Kings protected, and to Kings allied?
'What but their wish indulg'd in Courts to shine
"And Porer too great TO KEEP OR To REslcN?n
