ministratiOn presses, because, forsooth
Clay, Calhoun and Webster, happen te
ngree that the President has been guilty
of most wicked and unconstitutional
act, in usurping the command of tle pub
lie Treasury, and in ejectng from Office
an uprig ht Secretary who would not yield
the authority which the laws exclusively
consigned to him. This is a coalition;

word has no terror now. A coalition of
all honest men, sacrificing all minor Can

Of Virginia, is already off. The collar

who have ever been opposed to Presi-

are to be frightened with that hobgoblin
coalition!

my native state"-''go on"--"I am with
you" General Jackson! Who took the
Hamiltons, the McDuflies, the Coope-s
