quent remarks on this question, conveying as lhey
do the sentiments Of genuine PATRIOTISM ana Iepup-
canism should meet the eye or the ear OF every de
mocrat in the land. No man has been more out
rageously abused and vilied by the aposaie prints

than he has done We all recollect the commence

decided and energetic stand which he then took In
favor of General Jackson and republican prnciples
We all recolect his famous Report against Muiiii,
cation presented In the State and Senate in 1855 ana
his powerful exposition and support OF the henipcky
and Virginia Resolutions Of 98. We all recoeci
how ably he explained the difference between lhe
orthodox doctrines OF Jefferson and Madison ana a
the heerodox dogmas OF John G. Calhoon. we all
rccollect what decided influence his report had in
arresting the march OF nullifcation-in sustaining
the Just rights Of the states, as well as oil The genera
government-in rebuking treason In lis outset ana
in extinguishing the torch Of civil war.
Well, the same fearless and undannied SPIRIT
the same genuine republican principles, and me
same ardent love Of country, which influenced MN
in the commencement OF his career TO take his STAND
in favor Of Gen. Jackson and the democracy, ana
which urged him 10 oppose, subsequently, me trai,
torous designs of the nuifers, have now stimulated
this patriotic statesman to take his stand against The
disorganizing and revolutionary schemes OF Marin
Van Buren, when locked arm in arm with John Z.
Calhoun. Yes, the same spirit the same patriotism,
and the same principles, which pervaded every SEN
