Oration On The Life And Character Of Gilbert Motier De Lafayette PDF Download

Excerpt from Oration on the Life and Character of Gilbert Motier De Lafayette: Delivered at the Request of Both Houses of the Congress of the United States, Before Them, in the House of Representatives at Washington, on the 31st of December, 1834 The State elections, in my judgment, were more conclusive against the Sub-treasury, than the President's election was against a National Bank. There were, undoubtedly, other causes which mingled in the contest. But still, the expression of the popular will, in every state where an election was held after this project was first recommended by the Executive, was such as ought to have commanded his respect, and prevented him from again urging a measure so odious to the people, and if carried out, so fatal to their prosperity.
