saw What but TO tell Van Buren,, Wright, and
their whole trafiickng tribe 10 goto where they
belonged And they did. They went 10 Jackson.
De Witt Clinton died in February, 1923. That LET;
the way clear His peculiar party died with him.
Van Buren, his worst enemy and his murderer, was
his sole heir. He offered the State OF New. ork,
his own Empire 10 Andrew Jackson, for the
promise of the Secretarysbip OF State, Clinton E
intended place. and distant look at the Presl-
dency.
Thus it was that the [so.calledl Democracy CT
New-York were bough; and sold-knocked down
TO the highest bidder, after being hawked about IN
the market in vain for years. The Albany Argus
with its living Editor thrown into the bargain,
az the " dust in the balance"
Jackson was elected in 1923. CLAY and ADAMS
retired, but only 10 come again IN forms oil new ter
ror 10 their living caiumniators. Calhoun dsdaned
TO beg of Jackson the price Of his teachery and cor
ruption. He stood aIooi in his insolent baseness to
wait till the renorseiess yran whom he had clothed
with that more than royal power, should, AT the
piration of his term, in iulhlmen OF that abomnable
bargain lay it quietly at his feet. He waited, a.
the horse lin the fabc waited for his rider 10 dis
mount after he had borne him to the destruction OF
his enemy the stag. He waited in vain The brute
whom he had deifed, demanded Of all around him
the reverence due TO heather deity. Calhoun
scorned 10 render it. Van Buren,, long schooled in
meanness, falsehood and servty, rejoced 10 do il.
He knelt at the ioo,stool of the maddeDed despOi
ne embraced and kissed his feet, and said to him,
while the Jackson-haiing, offlce-ovlng Tammany
herd Of whole-hogs" grunted in response ooh
King live forever. Live eight years ct least.
am moi big enough now TO supplant that insoent
traitor Calhoun but denounce him. make me Min
sler 10 & foreign Court, where may practice new
lessons OF sycOphancy among gilded slaves and
courtiers then run again for the Presidency in
1872, with me for your "Vice;' and in those quie,
fat Offices will ary al jericho till my beard be
grown"
Thus the old bargain was broken md the new
one confirmed. The 'one-term pledge was vio-
lated. Jackson was reelected with Van Buren, Tor
Vice President. Calhoun, when the long-ma,ked,
iatal year 1882 approached, and he saw The Presi-
dency farther of than ever, boiled ran mad, and

Ii the uniform systematic conduct Of that iron
willed despot was the result OF predetermined
purpose and plan OF action, such must have been the
language of his heart. Most assuredly such were
his acts. by hich he fulfilled his implied promises
to the Federasts TO whom he owed the proposal
and the plan which resulted in his elevation 10 the
Presidency. Let it be recorded in history. without
dispute from any party, let it be "graven with
pen OF iron on the rock forever" that "ANDREW
JACKSON was FAITHFUL TO all his original
pledges" The Federalst distractions of strong
Executive, a lavish expenditure, and controlling
Central Government, surrounded by permanent
and almost hereditary aristocracy OF Office. holders

Thousands OF Jacksonan Federalisls attest it by the
Offices they hold; and at the head OF that mighty
host with their cloud OF testimony 10 Jackson's
fidelity TO tkeir rnciples-stauds pre-eminent SUI

solemn silence-in the highest permanent Office Of
the American Republic, its most sacred tr,is,-THE
