Those advantages may in general terms,
be Justly described as resulting from ample
security in the enjoyment Of our personal
rights and rights Of property, with adequate
safeguards against internal commotion and

view it in the same light. They are SO well

fairly by the Democratic party. But here
is the corroboratIve testimony from those in
his own state, who have heretofore acted
with him: -

what manner Of man he is YOU may Judge
ii what circumstances he was placed, what
objects he had in view, but you refer it all to
the externals, and Of the internal mind you
know nothing. Search in your minds for all
you know about him, and you shall find you
know what Offices lie has held and that you
do not very well know how he came to be
selected for them. He has never dealt with
you directly, but always at one remove, al.
ways, as it were, at second hand. He has
not stood out, a man Of free speech and &C.
ton, in bold relief, like Mr. Calhoun, before
the people, but he has practised apart with
their servants. By those the people trusted
he has been trusted, but not by them. He
is man Of calculation and one who makes
no mistakes, and his strength lies in his
knowledge Of every pivot and pinion Of the
political system.
But he ms no personal popularity /; he
never had any and the deliberate approba.
ton, half negative. that we bestow on his
public career, is a thing as different from
the genial feelings Of friendship with which
men speak Of jackson or Calhoun, as Ger.
tificate of good character is different from
cordial embrace"
