Dec. 15, 1832
Quoting NY Com. Adv.

Nov. 27, 1861
The State [Georgia] defied the Supreme Court and kept the Missionaries in prison. Gen. Jackson was applied to to enforce the decision of the Court, but, refused, saying, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it if he can!" As we recollect, The Argus [Albany] sustained Gen. Jackson in thus humbling and nullifying the Supreme Court. We thought, and still think, Gen. Jackson was wrong—deplorably wrong

1864 Horace Greeley
