Of Washington were very bitter. and
hostile 10 the Union, and mostly Joined

The next most notable charge of
reasonable designs was that in which
it is alleged one john Henry was EN-
poyed by the British Government 10
detach the New England States from
Nadison's Administration, in the War
Of 1912. The suspicion that for

Tory Colony in the Revolution. and

form Of government not only claimed
therightto secele. but actually passed
laws formally to nullify those Of the
Union, on account Of Il Tariff policy
she had helped enact. Clay's com
promising spirit prevented Jackson's
patriotic Indignation from practically

which seems to animate most Of her
leading citizens.
In 1850 was the last ard most
threatening aspect of Disunionism
Manifested by South Carolina and her
sympaihizers in other States. The
Texas War had been gotten up for
