It is near the last sunset of 1848. and we are yet one nation. John C. Calhoun the same restless spirit who troubled Andrew Jackson is now troubling you. Mr. President The North will sustain you in any legal method to preserve the Union and the Constitution, whether by veto or by armys. I wrote you in the commencement of the Mexican war to fear not.1 Again I say fear not. Fear not the political earthquakes of Europe fear not, the pestilence which has just visited our shores; fear not the nullification of John C. Calhoun, fear only God. And God Almighty grant that neither you nor I may ever see The Union dissolved.

I am Jonathan Cory. If you wish to know more of me you may ask of Joseph Henry of the Smithsonian Institute.
