A Compilation Of The Messages And Papers Of The Presidents Vol 3 PDF Download

Excerpt from A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents, Vol. 3: 1789-1897 The second volume of this compilation, issued a few weeks since, was received with the same degree of favor as the first volume. It was a matter of surprise that only sixteen years of our history, or eight Con gresses, could be comprised within the second volume, while the first covered twenty-eight years, or fourteen Congresses. There is greater surprise that this volume includes only the period covered by the four years of the second term of Andrew Jackson and the four years of Mar tin Van Buren's term - eight years in all, or four Congresses. However, it will be found almost, if not quite, as interesting as the preceding ones. In it will be found the conclusion of the controversy over the United States Bank, including President Jackson's reasons for the removal of the deposits from that bank; his Farewell Address, and other impor tant papers, all of which are characteristic of the man. It was during the second Administration of President Jackson that the act chang ing the ratio between the gold and silver dollar was passed.
