"As Jackson Did"

threaten TO use the whole power Of The gov
ernment 10 suppress ihe incipient rebellion, I,

sources of statesmanship' 10 remove all

Benton, ''ihought tha be ought 10 relax IN

Ii was he olive branch and not the sword

Carolina had just cause for complaint, and
Jackson knew it He did not think il JUS
titled revolution, but dem anded remedy.
Tha, remedy was applied in Mr.. Ciay's
Compromise Measures, which Jackson
warmly supported. Mr.. Clay said:
The difference between the friends and
the foes of The Compromise IL, that they
would in the enforcing act, send forth alone
the flaming sword. We would send ont
that also. but along with it the olive branch
as messenger of peace. They cry out,
The law the law the law Power power

bow to the supremacy of its obligations
