Item description from seller

8vo; 28 pages; Clean and complete in original self-wrappers; pages untrimmed; foxing and dust soiling to front wrapper. OCLC 1256106726 Sabin 30326 Benjamin Hardin (1784 — 1852) was a United States Representative from Kentucky. Hardin was a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives in 1810, 1811, 1824, and 1825 and served in the Kentucky Senate 1828—1832. He was elected as an Anti-Jacksonian to the Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth Congresses (March 4, 1833 — March 3, 1837). In 1835, partisan bickering and political shenanigans led to the failure of a much needed fortifications bill. On March 3rd, the Jacksonian controlled house passed the bill with an amendment to include an additional funding of $3 million for naval and military operations. The Senate rejected the amendment and sent the bill back to the House, but instead of negotiating, the House adjourned because members refused to commit to a quorum after midnight. If this weren't bad enough, accusations of fraud and foul play were hurled when President Jackson reported to Congress that he had supported the amendment all along. If President Jackson supported the amendment, why did the House not take further action? In response, Congressman Henry Wise of Virginia, a member of the opposing Whig party took to the floor of Congress, and accused the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, James K. Polk, the Chairman of Foreign Affairs Churchill C. Cambreling of keeping the President's desire a Secret. A secret desire for additional military funding. Nine months after the bill failed, President Andrew Jackson's shared his intentions to include the amendment in his 1835 State of the Union address. He complained of the loss of the fortifications bill and noted with exception his support of what was known as the Three Millions amendment. On January 20, 1836, in a passionate speech, John Quincy Adams offerred the following Resolution to the House: "Resolved, That so much of the message of the President . relates to the failure, at the last session of Congress, of the bill containing the ordinary appropriations for fortifications, be referred to a select committee, with instructions to inquire into, and report to this House, the causes and circumstances of the failure of the bill." Hardin very much supported Adams' desire for an investigative commission and interjected repeatedly when they were trying to silence Adams with points of order.
