Book Description

Excerpt from Addresses on the Presentation of the Sword of Gen. Andrew Jackson: To the Congress of the United States, Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives; February 26, 1855 This is neither the time nor the place to portray those great traits Of character which gave to General J ack son the ascendency that no man ever denied, who approached him, and that wonderful influence with his countrymen which marked almost his whole course, from his entrance upon a public career till the grave closed upon his life and his labors, and left him to that equality which the mighty and the lowly must find at last. Still, from my personal and Official relations with him - and I trust I may add from his friendship towards me, Of which I had many proofs - I cannot withhold the acknowledgment Of the impression which his high qual ities made upon me, and which becomes more lasting and profound, as time is doing its work Of separation from the days Of my intercourse with him.
