The Whig Attacks on Clay and the Bank Debate
A fiery 1838 address condemns Henry Clay as a political Machiavelli, accusing him of antiJacksonian plots and backing a Fifty Million Dollar National Bank. It traces his career from opposition to Jackson to alleged intrigues favoring Northern bankers and abolitionists, urging voters to resist his influence and defend Republican principles. The pamphlet cites his Senate speeches and a Stanly letter to link him to Federalist tactics and Whig maneuvering ahead of 1840.
