Oh ! for a cooling country breeze Upon a country hill! - Oh, for the green and dewy turf, The fountain dancing free, Where 1 might sit and poetize My Isabel, with thee ! Nay, smile not on my sunburnt brow, Alas ! it cannot smile again, If not the wretchedest, I am The sultriest of men.

Iu my former letters, I have only in ted your attention to the subject of the Bank fefAhe United States.

And whv was 'this ? : in the late confessions of Mr. C attioun^ y ou Tiave the answer. I need not StatW words, Sir, You heard them.~ You heard, Mm declare, nn substance, that he and hL frieuds had given General Jackson, in the hope that his perso nal DOpiilarity and arbitrary temper mig tS ^etlge from what thostioild carry into the Prudential Chair "the Spirit of Command. V, Bo you remera ber too, Sir, how that gentleman admonished, t>,o Hnii&e that it was not untirthe bngnsn Parliament had' made itself odious to the peo 1 ole thattlie public mind was prepared to 1 acquiesce- in the usurpation of Cromweli. and I tfieViolent dissolution of that body I Yon a>e perhaps not aware, that, near the close of ( hni lift, "that extraordinary man, not more re "martable for his eloquence, than for an mtui ^agacity; which often gave to his consu tutional rashness an appearance ol . '^P'r^??' was asked the prafctical meaBmgofth t ph^e; " the Spirit of Command^ His answer wa that he meant by it ? ?^7hgmakes the 10 Here vou "have a glimpse of the thoughts that/tver lived-' Of the first it may be top ! much so say, that he " would rather reign in hell that serve in heaven." Certain it is, that no .subordinate station has vet been found where he could be content. I am not sure that the other did not scorn mankind too much to desire power to be exercised over such beings. The poet who imag ined one who "scorned to be a leader," and whose boast it was, that "like the Lion, he was alone," had suiely dreamed of him. How far the remarkable man, who was selected fur the bold task of breaking down the indepen dence of Congress, was pledged to these , gentlemen, we have now no means pf knowing. \Vhether he was expected to joih with the latter in proposing to the North, the choice bet wee u the repeal of the Tariff and disu nion ; or merely to interpose the vis itierlct of his authority to even the nullification of ^South Carolina, is known only to those who will not tell the secret. I am pexsuaded that Mr. Randolph gave no intimation but by mysiessiWsilcnce- Others will doubtless, be equally guarded. But, in spite of all con cealments, you cannot doubt, Sir, no man versed in the history of that day can doubt, that to some extent, the Chiefs of the State Rights Party held his pledge, that his au thority and influence, direct or indirect, le gal or illegal, should be exerted to procure a recognition of the principles for which thev contended, a renunciation of the claim of Federal Supremacy, and a repeal of the laws of which they complained. No one has for gotten Mr. Haynes* justly celebrated speech iu favor of nullification, which the Author of the Proclamation proposed to have printed on satin, framed in gold, and placed among the muniments of his estate, to descend as an heir-loom iu his family. No one has forgot ten the familiar bo! Iness with which South Carolina put foi h her hand to touch the Lion's beard, nor the precipitancy with which she drew it back, when lie uttered that apalhng roar which shook the land as with an Earth quake, and at which the sovereignty of the States aud the whole fabric of the constitu tion came toppling down. No one who re members the difference between the bearing of certain gentlemen before and after the Pro clamation can doubt for a moment that they were completely taken by surprise. It is superfluous at this day to enquire, whether the usurper meditated from the fij;st, the treachery he afterwards practised. That he " paltered in a double sense," with both parties, is certain. That his jargon of a "judicious Tariff," and of "Internal Im provements of a nati >nal character," was adopted with a view to such interpretation as he might find most convenient, cannot be doubted. That he, even then, (conscious that he must break faith with one party or jthe other,) foresaw that it might be most de sirable to betray the weaker, is quite proba bltjs I for one, anticipated such a result at the time. There were not wanting those who "tried to convince the leaders of the State Rfefets Party, of the danger of giving the South to Federalism, by fHacing in the Presidential Chair a man of Southern position and Northern principles and holdings. It may be a lesson oP practical wisdom to the rash experimenter in politic^ to be told, that Mr. Randolph, just before liis death, de clared, " that iu the retrospect of IStsK Whale, life, of the follies of youth and the sins of ri per years, nothing so disturbed his last hours, as the thought that that admonition had been lost on him." ? ' ' . :.Can we then doubt, sir, that when the phi losophical historian comes to make up his es timate of the causes of that sudden revolution which has made the R epresentatives of the People the mere instruments of the Execu^ tive will, he will fail to trace it to the impa tience of the" "South under the" American -System ? I kuow that he will read, in our journals, and. iu the speeches of our br^fors, that every thing is, attributable to the "une qualled popularity of Andrew Jackson.^But he will see that this too, is but an effect wfhich must have -had a cause; and he must be a careless reader, if he does not perceive, that that extraordinary popularity did not reach its- highest point until after the abuses which it was supposed to excuse, v. " - - ??' When did he become geucrally popular? We know that he was not at first the choice of a majority. -We know that the mind of the country denied" his pretensions "with scorn. We know that th e mo&tljense of the country rejected him with abPforVence. Out of his own State, he was not at first thought of even in the Western Country, and his nom ination there was received jpth ridicule and disgust. But we are told, sir, of an -ho nest J German in Pennsylvania, (if now living, he is doubtless a staunch advocate of the Sub-J Treasury,) who was much addicted to hoard-) ing. Some time in the last century, he had put away some of the notes of the then Bank of the United States, which he* kept with ji .miser's care, until the year 1*33. At tha^Uie he became alarmed at thtr- removal of the deposites and the outcry against the Bank, and hastening to Philadelphia with his paper,' could not be made to believe it possible, that the Bank of the United States which he found there, could be any other than that whose notes he held. We must not laugh at this. It is no whit more absurd in its way, than the converse idea, which has lately given birth to a penal law oftheUnited States."- Well, sir, this worthy, and others his countrymen, who knew nothing of the public history of the country from the siege of York to the battle of New Orleans, took it into their heads, that the victor in the one^ could be nothing less than a resurrection of the Hero of the other. So they called him " the second Washington," and diibbed him 44 the Hero of two Wars," and "such a yell there rose, of Jackson! Jackson!!"- bursting.] from the thick darkness that ever broods over] the benighted vallies of that Bcetian region, ! as left no reasonable doubt, that, if brought ! foreward, he would receive the vote of tbatj State. You remember well, sir, that, this first turn' *~om you to him, the thoughts of those wno before had boasted you as' the j champion and glory of the West. But they wanted a Western President, as they want Western mints and Western armories, and inland ports of entry, and national turnpikes, | parallel to navigable rivers. You will not suspect me of disparaging your high pretenf tions, when I say, that even you owed a part 1 of your popularity to the obvious thought, ! that, in vou, this. wish rcos: like to bfcaccom 7 ? j*. - " r - ? 'V* plished. But, the omen declared in favour of one of whom in that day, you scorued to think as a rival. Like Ajax of old you felt dishonoured by your competitor. Demp sit hoiLorcrn, amuhts. But the neigh ot a horse wave the crown to Darius, and the oray of au as< did the same for Andrew Jackson. But not at once. All this was not enough; 1 nor was it yet enough, even when North Car ? olina turning to darkness the light that was m | her, joined in the insensate cry. He was ! still in a minority- A plurality of voices j had indeed been procured ; but he was still m ! a MINORITY. i \11 this known to every body : and they i who then understood what was passing around I them, also know, that this alone decided in his favour that great party m the South, who i had vowed the defeat of the administration, at ! every hazard, and by any, means. They had ! no choice but to submit to a second defeat or to unite themselves to that brute multitude, I who couiu nut b?* made to heat i^son., I may seem strange, how the inind of the couu try should submit to be led by passion, pre I iudice and ignorance. But such haP~ I pen, whenever accident supplies the place ot concert to those incapable of concert, and sets the herd in motion. The consequence is always such as may be expected Irom any inversion of the order ot nature ; and such it has been in this case. I envy none his feelings, who, at this day, remembers that he bore a part in giving the vote ol \ lrgmia to a man stained with every crime, and pro foundly ignorant of the principles of the Gov ernment he undertook to administer. But they, who did this, were wise and good men, visited by a sort of "judicial blindness from on high." Do you remember, sir, how, wheu some one spoke with merited contempt of the presumptuous aspirant Mr. Randolph quaint ly said, " that he had the best abilities of any man in the country, for he had the ABILITT TO BE ELECTED." . , . Well, sir, he was elected; elected by the CHOICE of SOME, and the reluctant assent of as many more as made a decent majority.? But who was his competitor ? You, sir, or any man of established and merited popular ity? No! You stood aside. Circumstances, blind God, commanded it; and his competi tor was a man never popular, who w^s be lieved by many to have gained his office by means which added nothing to his popularity and who had done more than all his prede cesssors, (his father alone, perhaps except ed,) to make himself ridiculous, and his au thority at once odious and contemptible. What evidence have we, in all this, of that overshadowing populurity which was to car ry through triumphantly all the measures ot the new President, and to make it safe for him to carry fully into action principles which his predecessor had beeu turned out of office for hinting at? But look at his majority at a subsequent election, even when opposed by you . bee how his popularity had grown by the mdul i gence of his arbitrary temper, on which fire nmc told the people looked indulgently, because he was already popular. See how it grew after his second election? how it even became assignable to his very foot-boy (he is no better,) as soon as he declared war against I ait constitutional and chartered riS^ts' an ToptSfT Unclaimed himself the Rabble's King.

To us, at this day, it is full of.pMplexmg mystery. In after time., many ot the hidden spring, of action may be detected, and that which is i now a riddle and a wonder, may then seem plain.
