He was not a brilliant genius but, what was better, a sound statesman. His abilities were conspicuous and he was Offered many positions in the Cabinet, in the diplomatic corps and elsewhere, but he re fused them all. The only place he coveted was at the head of the army for which he was thrice scheduled, but fortunately the post was never be stowed upon him. Imperfectly educated in the schools, by ceaseless industry he became a widely read scholar, though somewhat inclined to pedantry.

This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Opposition to Thomas Hart Benton The purpose of this study is to find the real beginnings of the opposition to Benton which 'culminated in his over throw; also to find the beginnings of the factions in the Democratic party in the State and the issues upon which the division was made. The Missouri sources show that Benton did have trouble in being reelected in 1844 and that there was a serious effort to overthrow him; that the domi nant party began to break into factions long before 1844 and that the break came upon the currency question which was later allied to certain constitutional problems; and finally that the Texas issue was seized upon by the already well organized opposition to Benton, and effectively used against him. This study attempts to present these developments as they arose; first the split upon the currency issue, then the constitutional problems which were injected into the contest, the alignment of factions in 1842 followed by the open assault upon Benton, the contest for the control of party machinery, and finally the campaign of 1844 which resulted in the elec tion of Benton.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas Hart Benton, And, Gouverneur Morris The statesmanship of Theodore Roosevelt consisted in the interpretation of a great period in American his tory. The policies he championed were but the expres sions of public will which itself owed from profound and elemental economic and social changes. Theodore Roosevelt led an historic movement. Long before he became President he saw that America had reached the point where a transition from an outworn to a modern economic and social order was indispensable. To effect this transition was the great work of his life, and it is the accomplishment of that fundamental advance that makes his career epochal.

Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ...Harrison it did not have the least influence upon the result. Moreover, Van Buren was the last Democratic president who ruled over a Union of States; all his successors, up to the time of Lincoln's election, merely held sway over a Union of sections. The spirit of separation had identified itself with the maintenance of slavery, and the South was rapidly uniting into a compact array of States with interests that were hostile to the North on the point most vitally affecting the welfare of the whole country. No great question involving the existence of slavery was brought before the attention of Congress during Van Buren's term of office; nor was the matter mooted except in the eternal wrangles over receiving the abolitionist petitions. Benton kept silent in these discussions, although voting to receive the petitions. As he grew older he continually grew wiser, and better able to do good legislative work on all subjects; but he was not yet able to realize that the slavery question was one which could not be kept down, and which was bound to force itself into the sphere of national politics. He still insisted that it was only dragged before Congress by a few fanatics at the North, and that in the South it was made the instrument by which designing and unscrupulous men wished to break up the federal republic. His devotion to the Union, ever with him the chief and overmastering thought, made him regard with horror and aversion any man, at the North or at the South, t who brought forward a question so fraught with peril to its continuance. He kept trying to delude himself into the belief that the discussion and the danger would alike gradually die away, and the former state of peaceful harmony between the sections, and freedom from disunion...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Thomas H. Benton, of Missouri: Delivered, March 14th, 1838, in the United States Senate, on the Bill to Separate the Government From the Banks Mr. Benton commenced his speech with remarking upon the different manners in which the discussion of the bill had been conducted on the different sides of the House. The chairman of the Finance Committee, [Mr. Wright, ] who had reported the bill, and opened the debate, had done it in a business-like manner: his luminous and masterly exposition of principles and details being entirely confined to the subject, and never once deviating into extrinsic matter, or touching upon any topic of party, or partisan character. - Not so the speeches of the opposition Senators. From the very beginning they launched into the ocean of party politics, and made the bill the occasion of a general attack upon the Republican Administrations of General Jackson and Mr. Van Buren, such as we have been accustomed to see for a long time on this floor. The debate has been conducted by them as an attack upon a party, and as a contest for power, and not as an inquiry into the merits of the bill. The speeches they have delivered have been such as might be expected at the partisan encounters of the hustings, on the stump, or at barbacue dinners, in the course of an electioneering campaign for an elective office, and not such as would be looked for in the parliamentary discussion of a legislative measure. In this attack it has been assumed for granted that the country has been ruined by what is called the mad and wicked administration of General Jackson; and that President Van Buren being pledged to carry out his line of policy, is of course pledged to go on ruining the country, and therefore ought to be resisted and overthrown. I propose to inquire into the truth of the assumptions, and to ascertain, first, how far it is true that the country has, in point of fact, been ruined; next, how far this ruin, if any, has been the work of General Jackson's administration; and, after settling these preliminary points, I shall have something to say on the merits of the bill, and something on the peculiar system of party warfare of which this Senate has been the scene for the last six years. In making my inquiries into the ruin of the country, 1 am not left to grapple with vague generalities and pointless declamation. Fortunately for me, the opposition orators have descended to specifications, and have shown wherein this ruin has been perpetrated. Their specifications embrace almost every branch of foreign and domestic policy; and taking the era of the second Adams' administration, when themselves were in power, and their cherished national bank was in its meridian - taking this period as the culminating point of our America's prosperity, felicity and renown, they trace a rapid descent, from that high point of national pre-eminence, down the road to destruction, until the entire nation is landed in total perdition in the year of our Lord, 1837. They have given us specifications, but there they stop. No proof, no statistics, no statements, no comparative tables, accompany their specifications to establish their truth. Bold assertion, and terrifying descriptions, occupy the place of proof. - These fierce denunciators assume the prerogative of genius: they assume to be independent of facts and of reasons; and they rely upon flights of fancy, dashes of imagination, and fierceness of invective, to supply the place of proof and argument. I have no pretensions to this prerogative. I am a plain speaker, and tell what I know, and then prove it. Reversing then the method of our opponents, I shall discard altogether the painted and gilded creations of the imagination, and shall confine myself to the effective facts of logic and figures.
