las in justification Of his course is entitled to the
candid perusai Of every citizen and, in the Ian.
guage of the "Washington Union" deserves to be

against the renewal Of the charter Of the first bank
| Of the United States. ....

acted as the representative of the whole people, and
strictly adhered to the 4th resolution passed by the
Baltimore convention in giving his casting vote in
favor Of the engrossmcnt Of the present tariff BILL to

the sentiments embodied in the Kane letter during
