Answer 5

My D'r sir. I have just received your letter of the 16th and am happy to find you have promptly attended to it. the opposition would delight in getting the committees this session to embarrass me in every thing that might require their aid, and notwithstanding I view the proceedings in SoCarolina as a bubble still the present situation of that state and the reckless course of the leaders in nullification may require some Legislative aid, and the sudden resignation of Mr Tazwell all combine to strengthen a belief that some plan of policy has dictated this measure; wisdom says, be always guarded against the council and combination of the wicked. the precaution suggested is one of safety and prudence.

As to nullification in the south, i mean to pass it barely in review, as a mere buble, view the existing laws as competant to check and put it down, and ask merely a general provision to be enacted, to authorise the Collector under the instructions of the secretary of the Treasury to demand of all vessels entering our harbours, where a state by law has authorised her Citizens to oppose and resist the collection of the revenue, the duty to be paid in cash deducting the interest on the credits under existing laws to which the[y] would be entitled. This is all we want, peaceably to nullify the nullifyers.

Answer 6

Y'know, "nullification" (which is often repeated through the letter) means unfair law.

I'm not sure but,

it might be C

Again I am not sure, so please take this into your own consideration.
