there be intelligence and patriotism enough to apply
.ncdy il requires not the gift Of prophecy to predict
he end whatever may be the termination OF The present
Presidential struggle.
Mr. C. were serious in the opinion that " this IS
the root Of the disease why is it that his acts have
title accorded with his Professions" AS the eloquent
pr..chrE said Sunday last, "no he Chris

one certainly be trustworthy Statesman, who does
NJ, practice upon the theory which he breaches.
Mr.. Calhoun believed that the root of the disease
ls IN the fiscal action of the government why has he
yuIsrcd his late extraordinary course?
Why did he not propose TO reduce the Tar--and thus
,ercnl liIe accumulation Of millions upon millions in
he Treasury; Why did he not adopt Mr.. Jeffersons
MAXIM and never take from ''thc mouth Of labor
sumb more than was necessary to the legitimate wants
# The government:
WIZ, instead Of accommodating the revenue to the
demand does Mr. c. first adhere to system of surplus
aud .i.n distribute it among the States thus charging
Inc Of Executive Influence, in order 10 corrupt
liz independence of the States and the People,
Why did Mr.. Calhoun support the elongation Of the
charter OF the Bank Of the U. States And
why did he refuse the adoption of those restrictions,
which are so we'll calculated to limit the Erscmire
Discretion and increase the ELccure responsibility over
the National Funds deposited in the State Banks:-
The President earnestly pressed such Proposition
IN lis last Message. He laid down The excellent
'*sai that power should be given to the Exc

found no John G. Calhoun supporting it. There

'aonyh 10 apply the remedy
And yet this is the Statesman who cants about ';the
fiscal action of the Government collects millions
by the Tariff which wanting for the expenses Of
the GoYe;u,ncn-who would distribute the surplus to

Tot the eonga,on of lnonstrous Bank, which is

Intriguing President TO enlarge, in indefinite degree,
the powers of the Executive. This is the man, who
