And what influence he couldexert as the presiding officer of the Senate was now displayed againstthe Adams party, which had favored his election to the vice-presidency, and of course alienated his Northern supporters, especially Adams, whonow turned against him, and as bitterly denounced as once he had favoredand praised him. Calhoun had now both the Jackson and Adams partiesagainst him, though for different reasons.
Up to this time, until the agitation of the tariff question began, Mr. Calhoun
... had not been a party man. He was regarded throughout the countryas a statesman, rather than as a politician.
But when manufactures of cotton and woollen goods were being establishedin Lowell, Lawrence, Dover, Great Falls, and other places in NewEngland, wherever there was a water-power to turn the mills, it becameobvious that a new tariff would be imposed to protect these infantindustries and manufacturing interests everywhere. The tariff of 1824had borne heavily on the South, producing great irritation, and verynaturally "the planters complained that they had to bear all the burdensof protection without enjoying its benefits, --that the things they hadto buy had become dearer, while the things produced and exported found aless market.
