A propos de cet article

Original publisher's beige paper wrappers. Text printed in black ink. No date, circa 1840. 5 1/4" x 8 1/4." Twelve pages, complete. One small advertisement or "Notice" for a bound edition of the complete, four-part "Junius Papers" on back (Page 12). Pages are intact and clean overall but have several wrinkles and creases, significant foxing throughout (most apparent on front and back), and a faint dampstain limited to top edges. Text is still very readable. A Good copy. This is one of the "Junius Papers," a series of tracts written by Calvin Colton under his pseudonym, "Junius." Calvin Colton (1789-1857) was an American pastor of the Protestant Episcopalian Church, author, professor of political economy, and abolitionist. He was a member of the Whig Party. In this tract, Colton advocates for a one-term presidency for United States presidents. Among his many reasons for arguing this is that he believes that the president no longer has the nation's best interests in mind when serving for more than one term. He says, "It is not the nation, it is not public interests, but personal ambition that occupies his mind. All his measures, all his appointments, and all his influence are brought to bear upon this end." Colton proceeds to examine how this proposed idea to limit the presidency might be carried out and uses examples to back his claim that doing so otherwise has proven disastrous. For instance, Colton does not mince words for the administration of President Andrew Jackson. He believes that Jackson performed well during his first term but then blames him for what he considers ensuing disasters that had befallen the nation during his second term. Colton does not approve of Jackson's handling of the Seminole War. He also shows the national expenditures under each of the presidents' administrations since George Washington's and argues that the amount of expenditures has only increased with the most recent administrations. Colton also argues on the basis of principle and theory that one-term presidencies allow for a more balanced distribution of power among the branches of federal government and prevents the presidency from being corrupted into a despotism.…
