McDerrig Retires from Congress Amid Ill Health and Sad Reflections
National Intelligencer notes Gen. McDerrig of the House is compelled to retire from Congress due to ailing health. On a Lynchburg visit he declined the public honor yet again, citing mental strain and need for rest as physicians advise a life free from excitement. The piece recalls Jeffersonian concerns on executive power and congressional independence in early U S history.
