position, or rather his hostility 10
men aud measures, ia priva~ a. well
as public life, has always been per-
sonal.
Unfortunately for the people Of the
United States, in the course Of his
administration, this petulant. despotic
man became incensed against Nicho-
las Biddle; who, foreseeing what was
about to come TO pass, contrived to
place himself beyond the reach of the
tyrant's power. Finding that he
could not lay his powerful hand on
Biddle, he determined at once TO
pour the lightning Of his vengeance
on the national Bank because
II had not answered the purposes for
which 1t was chartered, for that il had
done nor was it because the liber-
ties Of the people was endangered
by It's existence, for that were impos.
slblc; but because some of its prin.
cipal agents refused to bend 10 hi,
will.
While maturing the schemes which,
ne had planned for the destruction Or
the national bank, every intelligent
man IN America must have seen AMI
been convinced, that his hostility to
that institution was more personal
than political. But though this was
seen by all, vet l know OF but one
man of notesin the Jackson ranks
who has had the moral courage tai
confess it-and that man is John 7.
