way Of showing that he never could
become one most admirably suited all

represented TO be a southern man--a
western man-a Jackson man. The
bank party eleclioneered for him as an
anti bank maR-the tariff party as an
anti t0riF man the nIlllfers as a

every branch of The opposition, could

in Louisiana, for the purpose Of re-

we have not, in any instance, hesilated to

that may be, it is certain that very many

The President of the United States, h, the Con-

Regularly he ought take the initiative IN the nc

Power. But, in this case. he has not yet done IL,
for reasons, Which he, without doubt, deems suf-

be tardy, he may be qnckened in the exercise of
his power by the expression ofthe opinion, or by
