' Mr. Kenan Jhough the course pro
posedby the resolution to be' an unpre
i "edehted one. : He defied gentlemen to
ihow precedent for it." Other states had
.made recommendations. But hare their:
Legislatures done to in their official ca
, peaty? He had heard of no instance
of the kind. 'He had heard of caucuses
in Washington and elsewhere," burner
er before heard of such a proceeding as
that now before the House. This House
is called upon to express what theopi
nion of the people will, be twelve months
i titnee. ' How can this ;be, done? He
. bad not ascertained what their will now
", ij, much less what it would be at the
end of the nexi year. 'Besides', he would
ask how dare we take upon - ourselves
't this power? ,We, in effect, Jy doing so,
' go forth and dictate to the people what
their will and opinions shall be. .This
' would be to sap the foundation of our
constitution. , ' V- 'J'
" Gentlemen appeal to our state pride.
He had as much state pride as any other
man. But on this question he had a na
tional pride, which he thought ought to
have the preference. He would choose a
'President (if the United States; and not
of a State.- .; Xoofc to the list of candi

this man done for the country, that he

epenly--he would" not support Mr.
Crawrwd, but would igo all lengths a
gainst him. He said he would support
, Andrew Jackson -a mah who has done
, for his country than any other
man m it. Mr. K. here entered into a
detail of the! ' services General Jackson
has rendered in his various Indian cam
paigns; and at New-Orleans, and urged
. these as constituting f claim' on the gra
