Your great talents, like the strength Of the OK,

Upon the whole sir, think do but speak your
thought when say that the power Of the Execu-
tive is exorbitan, and that il ought TO be limited
and aled. The remedy devised by the bold
and practical wisdoei OF our English ancestors has
hcen taken away by fixed tariff OF protection. The
bill of compromise affords sort Of palliatve-l

that Nh. Calhoun had authority TO pledge South

delegation from the other Southern States, II must
be admitted, that they truly, though in some instan-
ces, doubt not, reluctantly represented the fears,
II not the wishes OF interests OF their constituents.
Upon the whole, look upon the compromise as
irevocabe, so long as the advocates of the proeec-
tive system Will suffer il to rest undlstutbed. we
have nothing left, bat TO throw ourselves ON their
forbearance. To you, sir and to others our States
men, il bclongs 10 consider well whether the polti-
cal consequences havc pointed out are evil "heth-
