Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Martin Van Buren: Heir-Apparent to the "Government," and the Appointed Successor of General Andrew Jackson; Containing Every Authentic Particular by Which His Extraordinary Character Has Been Formed; With a Concise History of the Events That Have Occasioned His Unparallele Statesmen are gamesters, and the people are the cards they play with. And it is curious to see how good the comparison holds as to all the games, the shuffling, and the tricks performed with them sort of books, as they are sometimes called. From "three up" to "whist," from a "constable" to a "president," the hands are always dealing out; and in both cases, the way they cut and shuffle is a surprise to all young beginners. The present "government" has been a great sportsman in his time; and he has played at both games with equal success: and not content with his own good luck, he is actually giving item in favour of another, and has so shuffled and stocked the cards that unless we can cut the pack in the the right place, he will turn up a Jack upon the country. I have gone fur enough on this hook to show what I mean: the people are tricked and cheated, and what is worse, they are satisfied to stay so.
