Book Description

Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Barnard, of New York: The House of Representatives of the United States, December 29, 1848, and January 2, 1844 Hall, which was promptly obeyed and executed by an armed force of sixty. Men, commanded by a field officer. At the same time, which was on the evening of the same sth of March, General Jackson sent one of his military aids to Mr. Claiborne, the clerk of the District Court, with a written com mand to deliver up to him the order which had been made by the Judge for the issuing of the writ. Mr. Claiborne had the courage to refuse to ac quiesce in this high-handed interference, and chose rather to accompany the officer, with the paper in his own pocket, into the dread presence of the imperial commander. Unawed by the presence or the threats of the General, he calmly told him that he should do his duty, and issue the writ. General Jackson having then got the paper in his possession, by asking to look at it, forcibly retained it against the remonstrances of the clerk, who was dismissed without it.
