Excerpt from Thirty Years' View, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, a History of the Working of the American Government for Thirty Years, From 1820 to 1850; Chiefly Taken From the Congress Debates, the Private Papers of General Jackson and the Speeches of Ex-Senator Benton, With His Actual View of Men and Affairs: Wit Justice to the men with whom I acted, and to the cause in which we were ens gaged, is my chief motive for engaging in this work. A secondary motive is the hope of being useful to our republican form of government in after ages by Showing its working through a long and eventful period working well all the time, and thereby justifying the hope of its permanent good Operation in all time to come, if maintained in its purity and integrity. Justice to the wise and patriotic men who established our independence, and founded this government, is another motive with me. I do not know how young I was when I first read in the Speeches of Lord Chatham, the encomium which he pronounced in the House of Lords on these founders of our republic; but it sunk deep into my memory at the time, and, what is more, went deep into the heart: and has remained there ever Since. When your lordships look at the papers trans mitted us from America when you consider their decency, firmness, and wis dom, you cannot but respect their cause, and wish to make it your own. For myself, I must declare and avow, that in all my reading and observation - and it has been my favorite study - I have read Thucydides, and have studied and admired the master states of the world - that for solidity of reasoning, force of sagacity, and wisdom of conclusion, under such a complication of difficult cir cumstances, no nation, or body of men, can stand in preference to the genera.

Were presidential campaigns always as bitter as they have been in recent years? Or is the current style of campaigning a new political development? In this revised and updated edition of Presidential Campaigns the answers to these questions are clear: the race for the presidency, although at times mean and nasty, has always been an endlessly entertaining and highly-charged spectacle for the American public. This book unveils the whole history of American presidential elections, from the seamless ascent of General George Washington to the bitterly contested election of George W. Bush, bringing these boisterous contests to life in all their richness and complexity. In the old days, Boller shows, campaigns were much rowdier than they are today. Back in the nineteenth century, the invective at election time was exuberant and the mudslinging unrestrained; a candidate might be called everything from a carbuncle-faced old drunkard to a howling atheist. But there was plenty of fun and games, too, with songs and slogans, speeches and parades, all livening up the scene in order to get people to the polls.Presidential Campaigns takes note of the serious side of elections even as it documents the frenzy, frolic and the sleaze. Each chapter contains a brief essay describing an election and presenting "campaign highlights" that bring to life the quadrennial confrontation in all its shame and glory. With a postscript analyzing the major changes in the ways Americans have chosen their Presidents from Washington's time to the present, Presidential Campaigns gives the reader a full picture of this somewhat flawed procedure. For all of its shortcomings, though, this "great American shindig" is an essential part of the American democratic system and, for better or for worse, tells us much about ourselves.
