The President Elected by the People in 1825
A lengthy reminiscence recounts the winter surrounding the Jackson Adams Crawford presidential contest. It describes Crawford's domestic life, social pressures, and the peaceful, dignified congressional vote by which John Q. Adams was chosen, alongside Lafayette’s reflections, Jackson’s defeat, and Crawford’s affectionate family scenes. It ends with social reconciliation and commentary on republican institutions.
