About This Item
4to. One-page, approximately 225 words, in part: "Mr. Calhoun's resolution to repeal the Monroe bill of last winter, will again give rise to a discussion of the powers of the general government. Altho' the attitude assumed by South Carolina fully justified the enactment of the law that was passed, yet of the necessity which produced it, has passed by, and the danger which then threatened the union no longer exists, would it not be prudent to repeal the act, prefaced by a suitable preamble, and thereby remove the ostensible cause of present discontent on the part of Carolina. I am so heartily attached to the Union ... that I would make any concession of expediency, not affecting principle, to maintain it." Old fold lines, but very good.
