Synopsis
Excerpt from Political Reminiscences: Including a Sketch of the Origin and History of the "Statesman Party" Of Boston
Nevertheless, I can recollect no moment of my life so full of keen delight, as that when the election of Jackson was ascertained.
My readers, I humbly trust, will credit me when l aver, that up to this period I had never once thought of an office, nor of any other reward of my exertions but the approbation of my own conscience. It was not until some of the most lucrative appointments were conferred upon men who had comparatively done and suffered nothing, - mere followers of the camp,-that I ventured to present my claims before the President, in July 1829. And on this subject I have a story to tell, wherein the young men of the State and Nation may read a lesson full of instruction and warning.
