It will not dp for Mr. Calhoun, 'cf '1
men, at this late day, in the face of autho
rity and: his own teeth, to decry a Nltio::-
al Bank as unconstitutional. He whp prr -
posed and carried the Bank charter I r 181
and advocated, its prolongation for 12:yt cr
in 1834; is stopped from setting up t;
plea Of unconstitutionality against the z !
bcacy of others. ! If, in strange disrpgird
of that consistency', which he seeraf d t
cherish as the apple of his eye, and stick!
for as he would pis heart's core, he r, i . 1
