Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Serious Considerations on the Present State of Parties: With Regard to the Presidential I am a Virginian born and bred - about half-educated in my youth, to say the most for myself - and ever since I attained to manhood, far from having time or opportunity to cultivate my mind, the only serious business of my life has been to earn a living. This, however, has not hindered me from continually dabbling in politics; though no other sources of political information have ever been accessible to me, but the casual conversation of others concerning public affairs, and the newspapers. To fall in company with a Member of Congress or a Printer (the two classes of men whom I venerate above all others) good natured enough to answer all the questions, which my eagerness for knowledge never fails on such occasions to suggest, has always afforded me such exquisite gratification, that I dare say, such gentlemen, if they could have any idea of it, would, out of pure benevolence, be less anxious than they usually are to yet rid of me: but in proportion as I am disposed to court their society, they seem disposed to cut mine: so that I have ever found my chief delight in the study of the newspapers, which are the only things in the world, communicative and patient enough for me. And, as my curiosity is unbounded, so also is my credulity: I am apt to believe every thing I hear, and especially every thing I see in print. The consequence is (as will readily be imagined) that I am every moment changing my opinions; veering, like a weathercock, not only with the gusts and squalls that so often agitate our political atmosphere, but with the gentlest breeze that blows.
