PARTIES DCHING THE JACKSON PERIOD. (Continued.) BT JESSE MACT, LL. D." Kulllflcatlon. The plrlt of the angry Southerners In view of the passage of the tariff of UJ5 was set forth by Calhoun In the Exposi tion and Protest of December in the same year. This paper declared that the sov ereignty of the states was clearly estab lished, by Constitutional precedents, and that the Constitutional relation of the states to the "Federal Government plainly Implied "a veto or control on the action of the General Government." It suggested that South Carolina should In convention Impose the veto of the state upon the recent action of the Central Government, and "decide in what manner the tariff act ought to be declared null and void." Nothing followed at once upon the an. vafeh fry iWSB&'&m FACSIMILE OK TIIC HEADING OP WILLIAM LLOYD GAKIUSOVS PAPEU nounccment of this bold proposition. A President choren by the Southern States was about to enter upon the duties of his office. It seemed wise to wait and j see what he would do for his outraged I friends. It was soon clear that President- Jack con would brook no Infringement upon the rights and powers of the Government of which he was the head. Personal 111 feeling between Jackson and Calhoun helped, to embitter the political quarrel. In November, 1S32. the state -convention was held, and South Carolina declared the tariff acts of 162S and 1S32 null and void nnd forbade the payment of the , duties. This forced such an issue as de- lighted the President's soldierly temper. He' replied with a proclamation declaring, Tl.A In... m .1.-. tT.ltnJ Ca.a- . ha xuo tana ui liiv uuilcu oidica luuai uc i executed," and denounced disunion by j armed force as treason. Land and naval forces were dispatched to Charleston, and ' the customs collector was ordered to col lect the duties, using what force was necessary. The vigor of Jackson's treat ment of nullification struck a popular chord and made him more than ever the Nation's hero. The leaders of the nu.l' flers met and "suspended" the operation of the treasonable ordinance, and after the passage of the compromise tariff act It was repealed. Tho nullification cptscde was the beginning of a rupture In th; Democratic party. Calhoun and his ej m pathlzcrs were Foon claimed by the Whigs. Opposition to Jackson in various Southern states contributed to the building up of the Whig party throughout the South. Jncknon nnd the Bank. .It has been characteristic of American democracy to look with suspicion UDon the political power of money, either In the hands of Individuals or of Incorporated In stitutions. Jackson shared the popular prejudice against the United States Hank. Ind his first annual mcasags raised the Uestlon of Its Constitutionality and Its tpedlency, and suggested an early Con xion by Congress of the granting of charter when It should be atked for. Ptltutlonallty of the bank had tcdly affirmed by the highest thority In the land, while the ler would not expire until or Sumner tells us that the Iw under most wise and care- pent, and In excellent condi- luntry was tranquil and pros- the currency was gcod. All het by the President's mes- rcurrency became disordered ne banks were troubled, while the fcheral feeling was one of uncertainty ind uneasiness. The vague recommenda tion by the President of a bank "founded on the credit of the Government and Its revenues" as a substitute for that dcvlred by tho great Federalist financier seemed to point toward dangerous paper-money schemes. In IS32 Congress was asked to recharter the bank, and the bill pas.ed both Houses. It was promptly vetoed by the President, and the National Republi cans were not strong enough to carry It over the eto. The question was now made a party Issue. As Professor Sum ner says of tho President's supporters: ."The bank question was one of the great questions through which Jackson's popu. lanty and his will hammered them into a solid party phalanx." The campaign ot 1835 was fought for "the bank or Jackson" .and Jackson won by an overwhelming majority over Clay. Henceforth he could not but feel that In lighting the bank, as In putting down nullification, he was carrying out the wishes of the people. One of the principal functions of the bank was the furplshinp of facilities to tho Government for coCictlng and paying out its revenues without expense to Itself. It was an arrangement not only eco nomical for the administration but ad vantageous to the bank and to the people, as it kept In circulation the money paid Into the National Treasury. Hut it was true, as Its enemies asserted, that it gave to the bank great political power; that It might use its great sums of money for in fluencing elections. It might fa-or the friends of the Government and oppress Its enemies. There seems to be no room for doubt that In the election of 1S22 the bank did so use its financial power. Jack son had always regarded It as a strong agent In the bands of his opponents. A clause in the charter permitted the Secretary of the Treasury to deposit tne revenues In other banks at his discretion. Jackson, having by repeated removals and new appointments secured a pliant Sec retary who would do his bidding, caused ;the deposits to be gradually withdrawn and placed with certain banks In the dif ferent states, which were called the "pet 'banks." Tho National Bank in conse quence became seriously embarrassed and was forced to stringent measures to pro tect Its credit. Loans were called In ana great scarcity of money resulted. Friends of the bank In Congress were much ex asperated. Webster and Clay succeeded In getting a vote of censure upon the President passed through the Senate. He replied with an arrogant assertion of -his right to his own interpretation of tho t-onstltutlon. The unsettled condition of financial af fairs, when, the conservative influence or the National Bank having been destroyed, there was nothing to check the wild spirit of speculation which overran the country, at last alarmed the President. The Na tional debt had been paid, and even the reduced tariff of 1S3J brought In annually many millions of surplus revenue. The Jackson Democrats dented the Constitu tional power of the Federal Government to use the National funds for Internal Im provements, declaring such undertakings to belong to the states alone, and the President vetoed or "pocketed" bills for such purposes. What should be done with the money which continued to pour Into the Treasury? According to a Plan proposed by Calhoun, it was Anally de cided to loan the surplus without Interest to the several states In proportion to their Congressional representation. Nothing more was needed to set the states oft upon a course of extravagant expendi tures. Th fever for speculation became an epidemic Banks had multiplied lnor. dlnately through the country, all eager to share in the. favors bestowed upon the "pels." The country was flooded with "rag money," cheap nnd abundant. One of Jackson's last official acts was the Issuing of the "specie circular," by which ho vainly hoped to retrieve the financial disaster which had befallen the Nation. This provided that only sold and silver and notes of specie-paying banks enouio be received for publip lands. The effect was almost Instantaneous. Money at once became scarce and Interest enormously high, and the great financial crisis of 1S37 followed, with untold suffering to vast multitudes, paralyses of business and se rious interruption to the development of the country. Nevertheless Jackson's attl. tudc toward the bank did on the whole command tho popular approval and con tinued to do so, and so deeply did he i Impress upon the Democratic party his hostility to a National bank of the sort which he had overthrown that opposition to such Institutions has become a perma nent party principle. The National Ite- publicans were forced to bear the odium of tho evils resulting from the struggle with the bank, and never again dared to go Into a campaign on that Issue. Abolltonlsm. Jackson's tunc witnessed the rise of a new movement for the destruction of slav ery. After the adoption of the Missouri Compromise in ISM, the opposition to clav cry wus quiescent for more than a decade, but about 1S32 It started up with new vigor and determination. Abolition societies there had been from early Colonial days. Slavery was deprecated and apologized for by tho thoughtful and humane North and South, and nearly ell looked for lis ultimate disappearance through gradual emancipation. It was thus dying out tn tho North, slowly, indeed, for as lato as WO a few bIoaco wrre still to be found in Connecticut. New Hampshire, Illinois. Wisconsin and other Northern states. In 1S2) William Lloyd Garrison, a young printer in Baltimore, published a demand for Immediate abolition and the use of every effort to bring it about, regardless of tho Interests or the wishes of the itaic owT.cre. Thin has been likened to the hurling of a firebrand into a powder mag azine. Public foiling from one end of the country to the other was soon aflame. Gar rison issued tho first number of The Lib erator In Boston, January I. IS3L The fol lowing year the New England Anti-Slavery Society was formed to labor for Immediate abolition. Tho abolition of slavery Just at this time In the British West Indies great ly stimulated Interest In tho subject In tho United Stales. Abolition societies mul tiplied rapidly, and many of tho most able and earnest men and women of the North ern States entered warmly Into the cru eada again the great evil whose further tolerance they regarded as a National sin. But slavery had now become so thorough ly entrenched In the Southern States and so interwoven with ail their Industrial and soda! llfo tha,'. immrdlate emancipation was to tbeen a temple Impossibility. Nat urally, tho violently aggressive attitudo assumed toward their peculiar domestic Institution by the new school of agitators aroused the most Intense Indignation throughout the slaveholdlng states. A', one or two points this Inflammatory con dition of public eentlment affected the ad- William Lloyd Garrison. ministration of Jackson. For several years the riae elates had been enacting laws punishing with outrageous penalties tho circulating of printed matter calcu lated to .excite dissatisfaction among the slaves; and when, In 1K3, the abollUon lsi began to sow broadcast their perni cious doctrines through the malki It wot felt that tho emergency Justified extreme measures. Tho postmaster at Charleston, S. C, refused to deliver eueh Incendiary publications and appealed to the Postmaster-General for "Instruction!." Kendal gav an ambiguous reply, but other doc uments from hi hand, evidently "In spired" by Jackson himself, clearly showed his sympathy with tho Southern view. The President's message of IKS brought the matter before Congrera and proposed a law prohibiting the circulation through the malls of matter objectionable to the South. Calhoun drew a bill In accord ance with tho suggestion, but' Congress rejected it. and in the accompanying dis cussion it wus made clear to many that slavery and tho freedom of tho press could not coexist. Not only did this attempt to establish a censorship of the press in tho Interest of slavery come to naught, but a bill was passed tho sumo year forbidding ptismasters unlawfully to retain any mailed letter or parcel "with intent to prevent, tho arrival and delivery of tha same."

BRYAN IS PR0-B0ER. Says Democratic Party "Would Help the South Africans. CHICAGO, April 29. W. J. Bryan came to the city unheralded today, held private conferences with prominent party leaders, among whom were Major Carter Harrison and ex-Governor Altgeld, and left on a late train for Port Huron, Mich., without hs presence having become generally known. Mr. Bryan declined to discuss .the object of the conferences, which took place In the rooms of J. G. Johnson, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Demo cratic National body. "What the Boers would be warranted In expecting In case the Democratic party were returned to power at the coming lection was Indicated by Mr. Bryan, after his attention had been drawn to the day's tables from Europe, saying that the hopes of the South African Republics were cen tered upon America should McKInley be defeated and Russia. "The Democratic party," said Mr. Bryan, "would express sympathy for these burgh ers righting- for the right to govern them selves and the sympathy of a great Nation like the United States Is a moral factor that has weight.
