most eacctual!y, their prctensions to pc

times too, when they have taught tbei

ierestcdnoss, the sincerity and patriotism
by which they have been actuated
|, When Mr. Calhoun came out as the
champion Of the American System in al
its ra,ss-ihe PROTECTIVE poLicY, so cal.
led by him, par excellence, Internal I'm
provtments, the Bank, &c. &c. as ac.
cessories-togethcr with the doctrine o
the general welfare as consequence
he disclaimed all selfish motives, by nd.
mtting then, that his section ofthe coun-
try had no interest III the scheme. This
appears from the scraps of his speech we
quote. But it was still more solemnly
asserted, by the resolutions passed by his
friends in the s. Carolina Legislature,
who voted down Judge Smiths resoIu-
tion against the Tariff and passed others
iavoring it, upon The ground that South
Carolina ought to bear the burlhen pc
cu,iar to herself, for the common good
1t soon appeared, however, in what com
mon good, this sacrifice OF the State in
terest was to cnd.-Mr Calhoun was
seeking to ingraliate himself with the
people of the North and West, and he
came forward with the Tariff in one
hand, and the Internal Improvement in
the other, as douceurs to those sections
of the Union, with view to obtain their
support in his advancement 10 the chief
power. Cnluckily, Mr. Clay outran him
in this race Of ambition; and Mr. Cal
houn and his followers, Mcssrs. McDur
tio, Hamilton, and Hayne, Immediately
fell back upon tho principles which the
honest and dIsinterested patriots Of the
Union party in South Carolina had as
serted, and successfully maintained be-
fore the people. To follow ont these
principles By moderate aud firm course,
to II successful result, did not suit the
views Of those who had been bafled in
their efforts to rise to the chief authority
in the United States. They laid hold Of
hem to push the popular ieryor enter
aimed in their behalf IN ,he Southern
states, 10 instant yl0iCnco---a subyeTslon

nent that hlr Calhoun despaired of sue 4
,eeding General Jack son as Chief Ma

One Of the most remarkable crcum-

If MIR Calhoun and his disappointed
riends, TO the principles pressed by the
Union party against the American Sys-

+ Federal power, is the high-handed ty
amy they now exercise over those
hose doctrines they have so recently !
doptcd. They have not only taken pos
ession of the State Rights cause, which ,
as cherished and supported by the I'm :
m party when the present dominant ,
ullifiers derided and secuted it; but ,
ICY have disfranchised its original
lends because they are unwilling TO ov-

a purpose which they alrea- n
y see effected by the vote Of the people i,
