The greatest impediments to the pro gress of our principles, encountered through a long series ol years, original and in personal objections to him in th" difficulty of supporting him, personally against the bitter and vindictive assaults of his foes. In the canvass for the second term cf President Jackson, all our em barrassments had direct reference to the Vice Presidency, and the propriety ol conferring the office oil him. \\ fi-n hr Was elected to the Presidency in 183 >, another Republican candidate woii'd have united all the votes record and for him; together with the e cast for Judge White. ‘And til- joint poll ot both would have received an accession of :-tr ngih from the support of many who did not vote at all ; being unwilling to support the Judge under the circumstances whi 'i attended his nomination, and restrain I from the support of Mr. Van Burcn by i dissatisfaction with him as the Republi can candidate. This remark is justified by the smallest majority ever received by a successful Republican candid ate. From IB>2J to 1.810 the energies ol ill ■ Republican party were strain and and con stantly devoted to the personal promotion of Martin Van Buren. No party ever toiled more assiduously or sutlered more severely in the personal service of an in- j dividual ! Yet it terminated in catas trophe ?—The cause is obvious. It was occasioned by his own personal charater and qualities.

The choice was made .with reference to their own views. Availing themselves of a casual ; sympathy, a temporary fervour of the public mind, excited by the action of the Senate, they selected a candidate who never will engage the fervid affections of the heart. In him. we surrendered the inestimable advantage of popular en thusiasm ; and no party can enjoy an 1 enduring prosperity, who will relinquish !so important an element of success. Our principles, to command their just support | must be reflected by these whom we love. No such feeling came to the sup port of .Mr. Van Buren. The people but coldly acquiesced in bis elevation. 11 is enemies were encouraged by the supine ness of his friends. They saw from the I thin vote of 1830, that he might have been defeated by vigorous exertions— they too courage—they gathered strength tiiov were stimulated by a species of phrenzied hate they made the assault, and—we have but two painful a recol lection of the sequel. it is a source ofuuafleeted regret, that the Editor of the Enquirer, should have fallen into certain notions oj Slate jjo /!< ’/, wlii' li bring him into close alliance with a clique, incapable of appreciating his views.

But it is intimated by the Enquirer or its correspondents, that these gentlemen are not likely to ‘make the best soldiers,’ or • are not the best troops to be trusted.’ And therefore, the Domination should be made without reference to their wishes. Let not the Editor of the Enquirer give countenance to the conjecture, that his friends are not anxious to recruit Gen erals —but want soldiers —that they do not want ‘Leaders and rivals —but fol lowers—blind implicitfollowers —docile —tractable —perfectly trained in the tac tics and discipline of party —who can le wheeled into line at the word of com mand. Let him rather adopt the senti ment of universal philanthropy, and ex tend to these men the hope of salvation —the chance of restoration to the Repub lican fold. Let him not give Mrength to the misclievious intimation, that a cer tain class of politicians fed that the /!< mucratic party is now strong cncnich to dispense with the service of State Rights men—and that it is dangerous i to make further recruits among a sect, who are not apt “to make the best sol diers,- ’ but are rather accustomed to as pire to command. And if it be resolved that the Repub lican party, in making the choice of its candidate, is under no obligation to con sult the wishes of State Rights men, it should still be remembered that a state of things map exist when it may bo very desirable to make a lew recruits • van among them. It is well remember ed that, .at tlie close of the columns of certain journals were darkened with gloomy statistics, to prove that a few re cruits, opportunely made, and skilfully posted and appointed, might have tinned the fortune of War. Let ns provide against the recurrence of a similar con tingency—Let us make the recruits in due season. In declaring my preference for Mr. Calhoun—my decided, undoiibting pre ference- I disdain to deny that my feel ings enter largely into the question. I Know the man, and knowing him- / tore him. And knowing him and loving him. 1 ardently desire his elevation. I desire it lor his sake—hut far far more for the sake of his country. It would be but the just reward of distinguished virtue and transcendent ability. But waiving all claim to reward for his great qualities and brilliant services, it is urged that his elevation would, more than any other event, contribute to the perfection of our system —the durability of our in- . stitutions—the happiness of the people, and l lie prosperity of the con :try —these, 1 these are (he high and the holy incentives which fill us with desire, and stimulate ! our efforts, to secure to the country, the: good and the glory of his administration. It is not proposed, in the present paner, ! to discuss the advantages which might he ; expected from the exercise of his high executive talent. Belonging to the in- ; ture and resting in the prospective, they necessarily depend on the virtuous ;tp plicaticn cf the powers of mind to the sanctions of Government, .and the most reasonable expectations might be disap pointed, and the most rational inductions might be falsified. Bill it is confidently believed that there are important advan tages which would result from the simple fact ofiiis nomination, indep nd. nt ofjtis future agency. Among these, perhaps, not the least important lias been discus sed—being the increased jrrobabiiity of success to the Republicans, in the ap proaching contest of 1811. But the topic to which, it is the present purpose to direct attention, is, the salutary influence which his nomination mint exert on the future organization of Political parties, audits tendency tore-unite and re-estab lish in its former power, the old Republi can parly in the South. After the overthrow of the Ol I Sedi tion I .aw Federalists, the Republicans, l -r many \ cars maintained an undisputed sujircmacy throughout the .South. Mr. Jederson, Mr. Madison, Mr. Monroe, Mr. <'rawford, and Andrew Jackson, respec tively, commanib'd triumphant majorities in Yirginia. They “ received the undi vided support" of her Republican party, to whom dissension and schism were comparatively unknown. The Repub licans, jierhaps, were never more united a:;d powerful, than, on the accession of Indrew Jackson to the Presidency. i laving encountered an oxjiected reverse in tiie temporary restoration ofthe Adams Dynasty, they recovered, at once from the casual surprise, and resolved, by the vigorous exercise of concentrated energy, to u ip ■ out the disgrace, and re-establi-h their ] lower. The resolve living formed, tin* end was accomplished, and Andrew Jackson, at the head of the Republican party, was formidable as Najioleou at the head of the enthusiastic legions of France. Like that great man, in the sublimity of his elevation, In* conceived designs bold and daring, f not unkind, —and projec ted measures which exasperated his ene mies, whilst they were deemed indefen sible by many of those, who gave to him personally, their warmest sympathies.— Bonaparte, in the exercise of the principle of Despotism, contributed much to the cause of rational liberty—and Jackson, in the habitual assertion of Executive supremacy, did more, perhaps, than any living man, to arrest Legislative usurpa tion on tile Federative principle. Though posterity cannot fail to vindicate his character, against much of the tra duction of til a present age ; and to ap preciate and assert, the value of his ser vices to the Republican cause—re! tin candid critic will ever maintain, that, several of the leading measures of his administration, were irreconcilable with the genius of our institutions. And a sustainable defence of those Republicans who found themselves constrained toofier a reluctant opposition to those measures, will live through the page of undying History. It may be a question with the political casuist, whether in “the mode and meas ure- ’ of opposition, they did not transcend the rules of prudence. And whether they did not grossly err, in permitting ; themselves, in their ardor for the Consti tution. to become inadvertently and itn perci ptibly min. led <r i ! id v ith oth* j eYs, who offered opposition to the Jaclr son .administration, under the influence ! of motives, actually hostile totlu* Repub : licau principle. But no well-informed j statesman entertains a doubt, but that the great ! ody "i Stale Rights men who ! withdrew from the support of Pre-idem ! Jackson ; were animated by motives of the pur st patriotism, and sincere devo tion to the Constitution. '1 h y felt that they acted under the ohiig itions of priu j eiple. They lelt that th. tr .Slate Rights i principles were violated and invaded. They felt hound to resi t the inva ion without examining with whom.tlu-y act ed in concert. They fit tint their own i parly was weak, and the point of honor st mug. in proporti >n to the weak! *s of their friends. In the prosecution of hos tilities, they imbibed a natural, though perhaps unjust, prejudice against .Mr. Van Buren, whom they regard,-d as ac cessory to the supposed excesses of the President. That prejudice lias ripened into incurable aversion. They lievt-r can love—they never can admire—they never can bestow the sympathies of the heart oil Martin Van Buren, howevci ready they may be to encounter pain, privation, and personal peril in tiie cause of the sacred Republican principle. To nominate Mr. Van Buren is to paralyse their energies—even il they lie not driv en in a state of desperation to crowd the formidable ranks of i nr adversaries. These men as a c!a;s are the zeaiots of a rigid construction of the Constitu tion. They were original admirers and supporters of John C. Calhoun, audio norniffite him as the lb publican caw el ate for the Presidency, is to restore them as a class to the Republican fold, and rend r our principles altogether invinci ble. We sliould restore the Republican party to its perfect proportions, as it cx i-lnd in i 8:29, and reduce our adversaries to the state of wretched imbecility ol that fragment of a political party, which yielded but an unreal, and a shadowy sun|Kirt, to the tottering administration of Adams and Clay. Being a Virginian, and an observer of jinblic events m Virginia, these remarks are intended as applicable to the condi tion of things within her border'. But we have strong evidences that similar results would be exhibited fbr< <i:■ i ll *■ i( the South. And ii". for th * present, J stain from a critical examination into these evidences, it is because I am pained by giving pain lo some of our compatri ots and political friends, who disapprove the tenor of my remarks. But i really deem it capable of demonstration in U -1. it seems to me, that it would be maniEst to every candid mind, who would pa tieutly recur to the history cf events as they have occurred continuously from I''’is to the present time, that with Mr. Calhoun as our candidate, wc sln'uld go into tin* canvass with well-grounded hopes of establishing ultimately and per manently, the Republican principle throughout the South. \\ e should carry Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis sissippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas. In such a state of tilings, it would be impos sible that Tennessee could long hold out in stemming the irresistible stream ot events. And when, by the rapid opera tion of natural causes, Kentucky .-lia l lx* delivi e l from tin* force ofthe spoil and restored to her natural connexion—the entire .South will bcemfiodii <i in su < fin ing the great truths of the R-'publican creed. With Mr. Culhoun ns our candidate : Missouri would be .added to tiie emiiii r 1 a ted list and wo* shall have a ivusona * of the. slave-holding States, resulting in such a structure of political parties, as must, by the operation of natural causes, in a very short term of years, restore to the bosom of the Republican fold tin Home ol Jackson and the Grave ol Nich olas.
