Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Political Parties in the State of New-York: From the Acknowledgement of the Independence of the United States to the Close of the Presidential Election in Eighteen Hundred Forty-Four
In a Democratic form of Government, Where the people are themselves the sovereign rulers, it is nat urally to be expected, that a deep and pervading in terest in the movements of Statesmen and Politicians, Will be at all times manifested. The character and conduct of those individuals who are honored with the public confidence, are subjects in relation to which there always exists a desire to be enlightened. The nature of our Institutions is such, that every man becomes, to a certain extent, a politician; and no one can be exalted so high, as not to feel the popular scrutiny, or yield to the popular will. It is for these reasons, that the History of Political Parties becomes so full of importance to the intelligent and re?ecting voter.
