THOU SHALT NOT,” said Martin Van Buren, “jail ’em for debt
-
“that an immigrant shd. set out with good banknotes

and find ’em at the end of his voyage

Kent said they wd. “deplore in sackcloth and ashes
-
if they preserved not a senate
-
to represent landed interest, and did they

jeopard property rights?” To whom Mr Somebody Tompkins:
-
“Filled your armies
-
“while the priests were preaching sedition
-
“and men of wealth decrying government credit.”
-
“...in order to feed on the spoils.”
-
Two words, said Mr Van Buren, came in with our revolution
-
and, as a matter of fact, why are we sent here?
-
“as for you Mr Chief Justice Spencer
-
“if they vote as they are bid by their employers
-
they will vote for the property which you so wish to protect.”

“employing means at the bank’s disposal

in deranging the country’s credits, obtaining by panic

“from the real committee of Bank’s directors

Sorrento, June 21st. Villa Falangola
-
In the vicinage of Vesuvius, in the mirror of memory
-
Mr Van Buren:
-
Judge Yeats, whom I remember etc ...
-
Warded off scrutiny of his mental capacities
-
By a dignified and prudent reserve which
-
.. long practice had made second nature ...
-
Alex Hamilton had been blackmailed but
-
preferred, in the end, private scandal to shade on his
-
public career.
-
Marshall, said Roane, undermined the U.S. Constitution.
-
No man before Tom Jefferson in my house
-
Said one of the wool-buyers:
-
“Able speech by Van Buren
-
“Yes, very able.”
-
“Ye-es, Mr Knower, an’ on wich side ov the tariff was it?
-
“Point I was in the act of considering”
-
replied Mr Knower
-
In the mirror of memory: have been told I rendered
-
the truth a great service by that speech on the tariff
-
but directness on all points wd. seem not
-
to have been its conspicuous feature.
-
I thanked him
-
(James Jones, brother in law of Mr Clinton)
-
for his kind offer but
-
said my fortunes were too low in ebb
-
for me at that moment to compromise.
-
Lacked not who said that John Adams
-
disliked not so much the idea of a monarch
-
as preferred Braintree House over Hanover ...
-
and his son, seeking light from the stars
-
deplored that representatives be paralyzed
-
by the will of constituents.
-
“I publicly answered more questions
-
than all other presidents put together”
-
signed Martin Van Buren.
-
“Mr Webster in debt to the bank”
-
Damned yellow rascal, said Clay
-
“Unnecessary, therefore injurious...
-
interference on the part of the government.
-
And they and their gang in congress
-
debated three months without introducing
-
one solitary proposition to reverse Taney’s decision
-
or in any way to relieve any distress.
