Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Mr. McDuffie: On Internal Improvements; With a Few Introductory Remarks, in Answer to a Pamphlet Entitled "Consolidation;" As the period approaches for choosing the electors of President, we have strong indications that the friends of Mr. Crawford, regardless of the known will of the people, will make an effort, as violent, perhaps, as it will be certainly fruitless, to give that gentleman the vote of South-Carolina. Aware that their favorite is exceedingly unpopular, in this State, they do not venture to urge his election by an open, frank and direct course of argument, (with the. exception of a very tedious pamphlet, written, it is believed, by a Georgian,) but by artfully concealing their purpose, while they assail every other candidate in such manner as they think best calculated to advance Mr. Crawford. - This is precisely the character of a pamphlet recently published, entitled "Consolidation." Mr. Crawford´s name does not once appear in it; and yet it was obviously written to promote his election. This is clear, both from the time of the publication, and from the general conclusion which the author deduces from the tissue of errors in fact, and heresies in principle, of which his book is compounded. At the conclusion of his remarks on Internal Improvement, he says: "Is South-Carolina destined to become a federal State? Do you mean to join the ranks of that party? If you do, so be it. Things must take their course, and the friends of State Rights must be content to remain in their minority. If not, the politics of Mr, Adams, Mr. Calhoun, and Gen. Jackson, are not the politics of this State; for these gentlemen supported, to the utmost of their power, a principle and a measure, which from the very moment of party difference, has decidedly characterized the federal party." Here we have the key to the whole pamphlet. Gen. Jackson and Mr. Adams, are the two candidates who stand most prominent in this State. Their prostration would insure the elevation of Mr. Crawford, and hence they are denounced as federalists. And why not Mr. Crawford also? Where is the evidence that he is opposed to internal improvements? Why does the writer gratuitously assume that Mr. Crawford is exempted from the same objection? What has been his conduct on this very subject? Six or seven years ago, a resolution passed the popular branch of Congress, calling upon Mr. Crawford, as Secretary of the Treasury, to make a Report upon a system of Internal Improvements. He shrunk from the responsibility of disclosing his views on the subject, and has not, to this day, complied with the resolution.
