States did not sympathize with South Carolina in the stand which she took. Nullification was stamped out by President Jackson's celebrated proclamation, and his well-known deter- mination to execute the law, no matter how strong the opposi- tion might be to it. Whether the secession movement would have been crushed before it had made such headway if Gen- eral Jackson, or a man of equally fiery temperament and un- conquerable will, had been President, is at least questionable. General Jackson, a...lthough the idol of the Democratic Party, and for many years its leader, was not, upon the question of State rights, a Democrat. The proclamation to which I have referred was a clear and vigorous presentation of old-time Federalism. Mr. Buchanan, who commenced his public life as a Federalist, and who said in one of his early speeches that if there were a drop of Democratic blood in his veins he would let it out, became in his mature years a Democrat of the deep- est dye — a strict constructionist of the Constitution — a sturdy advocate of the doctrine that all powers not absolutely granted to Congress were reserved by the States.
