NEAR SEVEN STAR TAVERN, !
Nav "a. 1879.

most every body, Gu Saturday evenings
ike this. in the lifeiu,, loveful, riefry
month of Nay, grow a little restive.
| confess to it, | do. When L was
young | could step around to see the
youpg ladies', and spark as we'll as the
commoa run of beaux, but whec got
Mrs. Speak. she said
For your love must lie,
As near and as nigh,
Unto NV heart within,
AS mine eye to my nose,
~ leg unto my hose,
Ana my fiesh unto my skin"
And tha, settled the business, for her
word, like tie @ord Of Old Hickory's
wife, Is law; SO the next best thing for
ne to DO When 1 get little restive on
Saturday night, is to 60 down to the
Seven Sta.s.
Some of the lights of this starry re-
gicu have been up to .NfflIutoTn since
/ las: wrote YOU, and came hack with
rather a mixed dose of information.
We were told that the crack OF the
whip of the brigadiers in Congress
isn't music to the ears of many OF
;ne rank and file of the jackson
Democracy. They feel just like Old
Hickory felt when little caucus OF
people from The brigadler country
tried TO force him into line. He said,
"By the Eternal, the Democracy don't
beIiey. in nulllicatiou." You know BY
the books when that was. 1t was IN
1882, when Congress passed a tariff, or
new protection bill. That bill set the
Ere eaters aud the slave drivers up high.
The Legislature of South Csrolin'
passed az act of notification right away
snd began a revolution in ho. haste
They Just expected to break things to
pieces pell-meii, but good old AnoJ
got up and spoke little piece to them
aud followed that public document by
a private piece of information to Cal
houn, that be might expect to hang t'
the end of a rope if ne continued hl
revolutionary work much longer.
When Old Hickory put his foot dow
in that way the whole country shook
and the Democracy trembled all over
tell YOU there was high time IN caml
then even the women 60: mixed up II
1t. Tne Calhoun people got their NO
men to believe that the wife OF John II
Eaton, Secretary of War, was las
woman, anu such another fuss as tha
got nm has not been heard OF IN ash
Ington society since. Oid Hickor
s,ood by Mrs Eaton all his life, bu
the story and the nuIh6cstion row bus
ed bis Cabinet " higher than kite.
He dismissed every member, and orgar
ized a new one. The row made bi'
weaker With many of the old part
hacks ot the Democracy, but be was
great deal stronger before the people.
ItEas a mighty bad piece OF WORK tn,
the Calhounists got up 10 1857.
was Legislative qualification, and VI
Hickory settled it By passing throug
the biggest kind Of a civil row, VII
preparation to punish the nullihers.
Ia 1861 the disciples Of Cslhor
tried notification by the sword. IL
know hos il ended. The country y
mcurns for the men that we're slain
save the Government. But, perhap
YOU don't know that the books show,
addition to the couple of huudred tho
sand men that Pennsylvania put 10 Z
field. that she paid the enormous su
of ffty four million dollars.
Well, now, you see the first nullihc
tion effort was by legislation 10 Sou
Carolina, the second was by the swor
and the third is now in progress, aud
on large scale. 1t 10 less an efi'
than to make Congress the instrume
to nullify with. 1t is to be Cong'
sionGI nuil,icatiOn. If the count
understood the plans of the brigade
i, wouldn't rest so easy. NullIhcat'
of the laws of the country was beg
last session by Congress when the tr
sdiers, who rule the caucus OF the DE
ocricy, whipped the Northern Congre
men into the plan of not passing
necessary appropriation bills, by wb
u..as alone the Government can
carried on. The Democratic major
.py. "lf you don't repeal the laws u
give the President the right to crl
rebelIiou 10 the States or in any part
the country, sou shall Tot have our s
port to SO appropriate that the GOye
ment can be kept up. Ii you &c
repeal The laws that give the Presid
the right to crush out riots on elect
5.-s. in the States and anywhere eI
we will not support the Government
anpropriatIon." ] say to you, yo'
man. that is the very essence OF
Calhoun doctrine that passed the nu
