Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The People´s Ticket: For President, Andrew Jackson; For Vice President, John C. Calhoun Fellow-Citizens, - It was not from any peculiar attachment to his person, nor from any interested views to his individual benefit and advantage, that a numerous and respectable portion of the American People have brought forward, as a candidate for the next Presidency, General Andrew Jackson; but it has been from a full and solemn conviction that his great talents, stern political integrity, unfeigned republicanism, and long and faithful services in both civil and military capacities, pre-eminently qualify him, above all others, for that high and responsible station. Born for his country, and from his infancy devoted to its liberty and independence, he was early distinguished for ardent and unshaken patriotism, for a strong and vigorous intellect, and for those powers of mind and active virtues, which have subsequently contributed so essentially, to sustain the honour and promote the prosperity of the nation. Even in youth, he was not unknown to fame; for he is almost as old in glory as he is in years. When, therefore, the period had arrived, that it became necessary for the people of the United States to select from among themselves, the man most worthy to fill the Executive chair of government, as successor to the venerable Monroe, one whose past conduct furnished the strongest assurances of a mind capable of embracing the great concerns of the nation; public sentiment, public policy, a deep sense of duty, gratitude, honour and patriotism, pointed to Jackson as possessing the highest claim to the confidence and support of his country. Impressed with these views and sentiments, the citizens of Pennsylvania, alike distinguished for their republican principles and a warm and steady attachment to our federal Union, with an unanimity unprecedented, and a magnanimity pure as it was liberal, announced to their fellow citizens of other states, a decided preference for the Hero of New-Orleans.
