It appears to me, however, that the Whig elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and especially in the Dictator State of New York, have arisen out of questions purely local, and affecting those sections alone. The actual true majorities in the United States will ever be vested in the Democratic ranks; naturally and invariably the dominant party in a Republic. It must be so; - though incidental circumstances would sometimes cause it to appear otherwise. I anticipate that the Americans will make a Democratic President in 1848; and, perhaps, a moderate or a Democratic Whig in 1852. But I will cease to interrupt you with my English fireside lucubrations; though I indulge in them frequently for the sake of recalling my pleasant residence at Washington, in the midst of its frank and social circles. I trust to be remembered, and sometimes to be wished for by many of the actors in those brilliant scenes, which their kindness rendered to me so fascinating. Will you, my dear Mr. Buchanan, present to our mutual friends, in the name of my husband, his most grateful acknowledgments for the hospitality and protection accorded to his Wife and Son by his faithful and generous countrymen; - and in my name, will you add, that I anticipate with delight the time when I shall return again to be among them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, first published in 1847, the English author Sarah Mytton Maury gives a personal and very positive account of her impressions of the United States upon arriving there in late 1845. Through marriage she gains access to many American statesmen of her day, and the book is dedicated to James Buchanan, later President of the United States. Maury portrays prominent senators, judges, officers, members of the clergy and Presidents John Adams and James K. Polk. Many of the descriptions are interspersed with extracts from speeches and letters by those portrayed. The book gives a great deal of attention to the early nineteenth-century dispute between Britain and the United States about territorial claims in the north-west, the so-called 'Oregon Question'. On this question as in other matters of contention or cultural differences between the two countries, Maury maintains a position of neutrality.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American State and American Statesmen As the festivals of the Church are preceded by retreats, in order that humiliation may Open the door of joy, so is it wise that patriotic reflection should go before and even go under patriotic jubilees. Has our country been faithful to her origin, her duty, and her destiny? Have we been faith ful to our country? That patriotism alone is real which truly tries to ask and answer these questions. He is most a patriot, as he is most a Christian, whose soul kneels in penitence before she soars in exultation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Statesmen IN the preparation of this work the author's aim has been to present a series of character sketches of the eminent persons selected for por traiture. These selections of subjects have been made for the purpose of placing before the pres ent generation of Americans salient points in the careers, of public men, whose attainments in statesmanship were the result of their own indi vidual exertions and force of character rather than of fortunate circumstances. Therefore, these brief studies are not biographies. The au thor had the good fortune of personal acquaint ance with most of the statesmen of the latter part of the period illustrated by his pen; and he considers it an advantage to his readers that they may thus receive from him some of the impres sions which these conspicuous personages made upon the mental vision of those who heard and saw them while they were living examples of nobility of aim and success of achievement in American statesmanship.

Download or read book Lives of Celebrated Statesmen Classic Reprint written by John Quincy Adams and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Celebrated Statesmen John Quincy Adams is one of those men whose history is so marked and signalized by the events that crowd into their lives, and the variety and greatness of the services they have rendered, that no mere language of eulogy can be compared in impressiveness with the simplest narrative of their actions. We may dismiss the entire vocabulary of superlatives, and set aside all the terms that are used to describe the qualities of objects, and in the plainest possible language, mention, in order, the posts he has occupied, and the public labors he has performed, and the reader will rise from the bare record with an appreciating sense of his usefulness and greatness, such as no high-flown general panegyric could possibly produce. No American has had the opportunities and privileges he has enjoyed; and no one, it is probable, ever will. He was the child of parents, so great and so good, that it would have been strange, indeed, if his character had not received a deep and permanent impression from their examples and influence. It was his singular privilege to receive the most precious boon of a benignant Providence, in the original constitution and innate ingredients of his mental and spiritual nature - a full measure of the excellent qualities of both his father and his mother. In the strength of his intellect, in the largeness of his political views, and the fervent energy of his impulses, we behold the traits of that character which made John Adams a master-spirit of the American revolution; and whoever reads the letters, or retains in his memory an image of his mother, will trace the influence of that admirable woman in many of the finer features of the mind and spirit of her son. It was his privilege to receive, in his earliest youth, lessons of piety, morality and patriotism from the lips of parents whose lives enforced their precepts, and presented bright and noble examples of the virtues they inculcated. John Quincy Adams was born in Braintree, in Massachusetts, in that part of the town which has since been set off and incorporated by the name of Quincy, on Saturday, July 11th, 1767. He was named "John Quincy," from the following circumstances. His mother was the daughter of Rev. Wm. Smith, pastor of the Congregational church in the neighboring town of Weymouth. The wife of Mr. Smith, the maternal grandmother of the subject of this memoir, was Elizabeth Quincy, daughter of John Quincy, who is mentioned by Hutchinson as the owner of Mount Wollaston, had shared largely in the civil and military distinctions of his time and country, and in honor of him the present town of Quincy received its name. When Quincy was on his death-bed, and expired a few hours after the birth of his great grandchild - at the special request of the grandmother, the name of her father, then lying dead, was given to the new-born infant, who was baptized the next day, in the Congregational church of the Free Parish of Braintree. Mr. Adams has been favored in the period which his life has covered, as well as in the influences under which it commenced. His history runs back to the beginning of the revolution, embraces its trying and stimulating experiences, and includes the entire range of wonderful events which have been accumulated within the last seventy years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Eminent American Statesmen: With Speeches, Addresses and Letters The public are indebted for this volume to her, who, for many years was the devoted wife, the liv ing helpmate of its distinguished author, and this fact lends a pathetic interest to the work itself. Mrs. Perry, though advanced in years, and bowed down by a great grief, assumed the task of compiling and arranging for publication the writings of her husband, and no tribute to the memory of the dead patriot and statesman could be more appropriate, or more touching than this offered by her loving heart. No monument to perpetuate his name and his fame could so arouse the universal sympathy of our people as does this simple memorial of her devotion to him and of her reverence for his memory.
