Excerpt from The Letters of Wyoming: To the People of the United States, on the Presidential Election, and in Favour of Andrew Jackson At the formation of our government, the best and happiest the world has ever seen, no controversy existed as to who should preside over the destinies of the nation. One flushed with success, and at the head of a victorious army, was call ed to take charge of the government. He was a military man, and the nation, so far from apprehending a capacity or disposition on his part, to subvert the liberty he had ao quired for his country, confided with one voice her destinies tothis hands. Then was it not an inquiry, who could write a paragraph with the greatest classical purity; or who, the most finished veteran at intrigue the question was, who is he, that, fearless of consequences, and regardless of dan ger, has breasted the storm in the hour of peril, and risked himselffor the country. There was a virtue with the Ame rican people then, which would have bade them spurn from their confidence, that man, who, by any effort, however dis guised, could have manifested a wish to elevate himself to the Presidential chair.
