"The amount of discord I am sorry to find are daily growing stranger in the Jackson party in Maryland. It is manifest that a simultaneous effort is to be made to put aside the Jackson Federalists & revive old party distinctions. I have letters from Frederick telling me that the same game is playing in that quarter. Yet I have the most unshaken confidence in the President". [With:] A second ALS ("R.B. Taney"), to Virgil Marcy, Esquire, Baltimore, Md., 7 June 1830. 1 page, 4o, with integral address leaf. Recommending a friend for a position.
