ry near to focus, over 80 years ago.John
Calhoun, from 1928 to 1888. made a
mastery effort to seperate this Union. He
was man OF no ordinary genious, was
ambitious, and desired to be President Ct
these United States, advocating what he
called State Right doctrines. He made
an attempt to take the little State of South
Carolina out Of the Union, but hank God
he found barrier in his way that he did
not expect to encounter. President Jack
son was that barrier. When Calhoun had
gone as far in his reasonable acts as
jackson thought were sufficient to han.
him, he wrote warrant for his arrest for
high treason. Benton, r. Johnston, of
Kentucky; Judge Grundy, of Tennessee;
Gen. Thompson, OF Ohio. and others of
the Presidents friends called TO see what
his determinations were. They found
the warrant on the Presidents table, for
Calhoun's arrest. Benton asked tn,
President what course he intended to
persue with Calhoun. The reply was
by the Eternal, sir, hang him. hang
him, and let the people decide on the yer

"You cannot hang him, until he commits
some overt act. He must commence
hostilisies against the Government of the
United States first"
From that date. Calhoun saw that his
political days were numbered. and that he ,
must go down to his grave in disgrace,
without being President Of these Uuited
States. During the session of Congress,
in 1882 8. Calhoun made his famous Sc
cessiou. or States Right speech. which l
