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.

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It was repealed.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."

Summary.

Congress subordinate, while the Democrat-'
lc party Is consolidated as never before.
We recognize henceforth ofl Democratic

Internal Improvements and to protection
as a National policy; while the party Is
seen to be united In Its adoption of the
spoils system. In Its support of the veto

used It before, and united in general In its
strict construction views of Constitutional
questions, though determined in resisting

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. Tho good offices of this
Nation can be tendered according to tho
terms of the new Hague treaty at the

of friendly service would have a great In
