thicks they were much safer in the Bank,
that the Bank was not so bad as he had re
ported it—that the President and Directors
were high minded and honorable men, and he
was sorry, “ very sorfy” he had calumniated
them—that the heavy sums loaned to news
paper printers, were “ fair business transac
tions.” And to cap the climax of all this
honesty and consistency, he wishes the depos-
.ites placed back in the vaults of the said in
solvent Bank, and on a resolution offered in the
House for a committee to again examine into
the affairs of the Bank,to find out whether it re
ally was insolvent and corrupt, as he had so
lemnly and officially reported it,he voted against
the resolution, consequently that he believed it
so perfectly honest and solvent in all its “ fair
business transactions,” that no examination
was necessary.
You all recollect how liberal the honorable
gentleman was a fewycars since in his invec-

for office. But he now thinks Mr. Clay a mar

the very cream of patriotism and public virtue.

who utterly “abhorred the heresy of Nullifica
tion and its intriguing founder”—who, when
he saw a drunkard reeling out from a groge
ary, would contemptuously point him out to a
nullifier, observing “ there goes one of your
eovereigs in full swing, who will shortly cast
himself upon his reserved lights;” who.
with the most self satisfied curl of his upper
lip, taunted the State Rights men about the
20,000 Troops South Carolina was raising to

sneered at Gov. Hamilton and his attempted
sugar hogshead test; who was most liberal
jin.his praise of General Jackson’s Proclama
tion against the nullifiers, and considered him
<< worthy the blessings of posterity, had this Pro
Auction been the only act of his life.”
This is the individual who as a member of
the Anti-Tarifl Convention, marched out of
the Hall with the protestants, and who held
his head so high from utter disdain of thenul
lifters ho was leaving behind, that ho came
nigh to demolish divers chairs and desks, and
to walk over several smaller members in his
haste, and determination to overcome all ob
stacles to his speedy and lofty egress. He is
the same who for years ranted about the free
white basis and universal equality of suffrage
And yet will you credit me when I inform
you that he is now a member of the State
Rights or Nullification party, regularly enlis
ted and enrolled in their Jacobinical County
associations, and talks in the public prints of
“ the shock” his patriotism had received from
the same Proclamation against the nullifiers,
of the corruption of “ office holders and un-
principlcd minions of power, and attempts to
distinguish his new associates by the name of
“ Whigs,” and the Union party as “ Tories.”
Yes, gentlemen, this old, undoubted, and un
deniable Federalist would modestly assume
to himself the name of “ Whig,” and would
cast upon the surviving heroes of the Rcvolu.
tion, who, as far as my knowledge extends, act
with us, the odious appellation of “ Tories.”—
You however, know the man, net so well, per.
haps, as I do, but sufficiently well to draw
your own conclusions of his honest change of
•opinions. But to hear such a man ranting about
principles, would elicit a hearty laugh from
old Nestor himself. In charity, we may hope
that no disappointment of a “ well grounded
expectation” of becoming one of these “ office
holders,” has had any influence in causing the
gentleman’s horrors of the “ powers that be,”
and his consequent political somerset.
Whether the principles of the individuals
mentioned have been changed at all,or wheth
er their opinions have been honestly changed
from a conviction of error, I will not pretend
positively to decide. Both changes took place
after the age of forty. And by the rule laid
down by their political associate, Mr. Craw
for J, all honest changes take place at an ear-
Her age. But I ask you if such changes,
(and could cite numerous others of like char-
acter, do not convince you that there is danger,
that the crisis has arrived in our history most
prophetically foretold by the sagacious Wash
ington, when he asserted that “ an artful and
enterprising minority, would become potent en
gines by which cunning, ambitious and unprinci
pled men may usurp for themselves the reins of
government.”
There is danger of the Republic, and
it is necessary that every freeman in the coun-
try should exercise his right of suffrage at the
Ballot Box. Be awake, be wary, be vigi-
|ant, throw not away your suffrages upon any
individual who you do not know to be correct
in his principles—vote for principles and men,
but not for men, merely because you may
respect them as men. There are good men
among all parties, but it will not at all times
be proper to place them in authority; wc have
heretofore been tolerant in matters of minor
importance,' and sometimes in those of deeper
interest, but your Liberties were; not then in
immediate danger ; now the times are out of
joint, and designing politicians will shape their
face to all occasions, and will even mislead
tiro honest of their own partizacs, therefore
trust them not, and weaken not your strength
by divisions among yourselves. All. petty riv
alries and neighborhood jealousies, should be
buried in the patriotic effort to preserve the
Republic, and until the country is again in a
state of tranquillity,.you should support no in-
dividual for office, however insignificant it ap

wil (I expek) sea published—To day I am
writin you this while our lamlloard has taken
the Dr and Mr C to show them at church-
tion of Gov. Troup, for the Presidency, and n
the consequent exclusion of Mr. Calhoun, will
not supersede the necessity of publishing my
essays? I think not. (1.) I not only wish,
cd to exclude Mr. C. hut to prevent the mass
of the Troup party from becoming contatni.
nated with Mr. C’s peculiar doctrines, his
obvious they have made considerable pro.
gress among them ; and, unless they arc
rested, there is reason to fear they may be.
come the prevailing doctrines of the partv.
You well know that it requires such attention
as will not ordinarily he given, to detect the
fallacies of Mr. Calhoun. These fallacies
arc the more dangerous, as they arc mixed
up with such a mass of sound doctrine.
“ You are reluctant at ‘ a renewed discus,
sion of those abstractions, which only furnish
fuel to that morbid excitement, on which, and
by which only, Calhoun’s nullification has
ever grown.’ It is strange that you do not
perceive, That tho apathy of tho comtmmiiv
may as effectually admit tho progress of Mr.
Calhoun’s heresies, ns the excitement ot
which you speak. Il is strange that you do
not perceive, that this very excitement al.
ready exists, and may be increased by tbo
canvass for members of Congress, for Gov.
ernor, and for President, already put on foot,
and by tho canvass for the members of the
Legislature, which it is designed to set imme.
diately on foot, by officious and indelicate
nominations in the various counties ; (2.) a,
well as by other various causes.”
“Reliance is had upon the fact, that ‘thenul.
lifters now concur in trying to settle the pub-
lie mind on the good old ground of Troupani
the Treaty.’ The nullifiers arc willing [o
avail themselves of this ground, for the put-
pose of securing onr co-operation ; but they
are not content with this ground ; or at least
with the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions,
construed and understood as we understand
them. You well know that they have gow
beyond this ground since the meeting of lit
13th November ; and you ought not to doubt
that they will carry the party beyond it as
soon as they can. (3.)
“ But admit that it is intended in good faith
to abide by the resolutions agreed to on the
13th November ; still I am opposed to the ma
chinery which has been put in motion. 1 am
opposed to the formation of one or two hue- f
dred associations and counter associations, abu
sing each other, and inflaming the public mind.
I am opposed to the registry, enrolment, or en
listment, which from the example set in Burke,
appears to be contemplated. Reliance ought
to be had on the ordinary, open, and honora
ble modes of operation ; and our citizens ought
not to be pursued to their peaceful firesides,
by enrolling agents, or district committees, for
the purpose of procuring their signatures by
artful representations, by persuasions, oi
threats.” (4.)
NOTES.
1. Who believes that Gov. T. either ex
pected or desired the nomination? Is it not
entirely uncertain, whether ho will compete
for the Presidency ? Was not his proposed
nomination a mere manaauvre, unexpected to
the body of nullifiers? Arc not many of them
dissatisfied with it ? Let the attacks of the
Chrbiiicle and the Messenger answer. The
nullifiers indeed cannot be expected to give®
Mr. Calhoun : they have fixed their ardent
gaze upon him ; and they will sustain him.
2. Is it known that, in the meeting of A*
13th November, a detailed plan was proposed,
' not only for State nominations, but also f° r
county nominations ? Although this proposi
tion was withdrawn, I do not believe the p!* 3
is altogether abandoned ; I believe that as
soon as it is thought the people will bear it.
there arc gentlemen here, as in some other
States, who will kindly relieve them of the
trouble of selecting their, own officers : and 1
warn them to guard against the attempt which
may be made to effect.more covertly an ob-
ject which it is not yet deemed prudent open
ly to attempt.
8. Who does not remember the course ®
remarks upon Chappell’s Resolutions,^ aftet
the meeting of Ike 13th November l Is k not
known that the Chronicle, the Sentinel, the
Times, &c. are still sustaining “ the doctrine
of nullification, as maintained by the ruling
party in a sister State ?” Is this indicative o
a disposition to put matters on the ground o
Troup and the Treaty ? Governor Troup en;
