Calhoun is my Statesman. Through good report and through evil report; in all his doctrines, whether upon Slavery, Free Trade, Nullification, Treasury and Currency Systems, active Annexation, or masterly inactivity, I hold myself his avowed and admiring disciple. If this distinguished Statesman could be prevailed upon to visit England, either in a public or in a private capacity, he would command more admiration, and attract more interest than any other man of Europe or of America. The very anomaly of his position, the curious coincidences by which he becomes the representative of interests which, nominally at least, are in contra position to each other, and the skill and determined fidelity with which he unites and guards each several one of these interests; preserving entire the integrity of all; these attributes together compose a character so unique, an attitude so extraordinary as to be unparalleled either in his own or in any other country of the world. To know, to understand, and to appreciate him, it is requisite rapidly to review the measures of which he is the acknowledged expounder and advocate.
