Haynes Notification speech on Nlr.
FOOTE'S Resolution was tie greatest
oraiorical effort Of modern times. re
mmkoble alike fot the soundness Of
It's principles, and the elegance and
purity Of its dIction. The party was
IN ecstasics. The Albany Regency
printed Che speech alluded to, upon
satin; sent Gen. llaync copy; wrote
hun letter, swearing that nullGca.
lion was the true faith Of the party.
But lol when South Carolina nulilied
the Tariff, Gen. Jackson changed.
The party changed; he issued his
Proclamation and pronounced it per-
feet. J party pronounced it per-
feet; he swore it was imperfect and
not rightly understood by the people,
and therefore published codlcil or
explanation Of it: they swore that it
was not understood, but the codicil
was the very thing: he denounced
notification as treason, and all null
fers rs traitors: they denounced nul-
LITIGATION as treason and all nuIlifierS
as traitors. And thus endclh the
third proofof the party's consistency.
We might proceed ii it We're neces-
sary, and show that Gen. Jackson
passed through every sign of the To-
dlac Of political inconsistency and
has been regularly followed by his
partlsans; but the party we confess
! have been consistent lin changing
with every change of their MASTERY in
their understanding of the term, to an
extent rarely equalled # ever surpas-
sed by the plmps and flattercrs Of an
eastern despot. And the State Rights
party, by the same standard, must ac-
knowledge their inconsistency. For
although Gen. Jackson has violated
every plelge mule while canvasSng
; for the presidency-change com
pletcly from all his proiessions-the
State Rights PARTY have not in q SOL
ifary instance changed NTH him.
! Here they ere accused Of inconsist-
england now too they are accused
OF inconsistency because they refuse
to support Col. Crimball for Governor,
/ who has either changed his politics or
they were not known at the time the
State Rights editors declared them
selves in his favor. If this be incon-
sIstency or the part of the State
Rights party we plead guilty.
