Bordentown (New Jersey, United States) (search for this): chapter 137
Doc. 132.--letter from Commodore Stewart. Bordentown, May 4, 1861. My dear Sir: Agreeably to your request I now furnish you with the reminiscences of a conversation which passed between Mr. John C. Calhoun and myself in the latter part of December, 1812, after the declaration of war by the Congress of the United States against Great Britain on the 18th of June previous. On the assembling of Congress, in the early part of December, I found that an important portion of the leading democratic members of Congress had taken up their quarters at Mrs. Bushby's boarding-house, among whom was Mr. Calhoun, a new member from South Carolina--and I believe this was his first appearance in the House of Representatives. In consequence of this I took Lieutenant Ridgley, my confidential officer, and the first lieutenant of the frigate Constitution, of which vessel I then held the command, and was preparing for sea at the Washington Navy Yard, left our lodgings at Strother's, and obtaine

This appeaidedly in favor of the war, while the commercial States were so much opposed to it. With this latter section of our country it seemed to me that the punishment of England, through the medium of war, ought to meet their highest approbation and call for their greatest efforts, as they were the greatest sufferers, through her instrume

Mr. Calhoun's age, I thought, approximated my own, which was thirty-four; anll the attributes, professions, and advantages of democracy. Mr. Calhoun replied: I see you speak through the head of a young statesman,ir three-fourths rule. I laughed incredulously, and said, well, Mr. Calhoun, ere such can take place, you and I will have been so long non eified to the letter as predicted by that far-seeing statesman, John C. Calhoun. Even this noble republic is disrupted, its Constitution rentder our Union. Had a prophet arisen in 1812, and predicted as John C.

He has gone to the tomb of his fathers, the pride of his section, honored for his talents and for his efforts in council, while your humble servant still lingers on the brink, under the national anathema of degradation, as a reward for many years of faithful services; which degradation was accorded him simultaneously with his reaching the head of the service to which his whole life had been devoted. You see, my dear sir, I have no disposition to bury my light under a bushel, but will ever be ready to accord justice to whom justice is due.
