Martin Van Buren
PART THREE Th
e Eighth President ofthe United
States
An original history by
Bernard Vincent McMahon
John Q. Adams appraised Van Buren in these words: "Van Buren's personal
character, however, bears a stronger resemblance to that of Mr. Madison than to
Jefferson's. These are both remarkable for their extreme caution in avoiding and
averting personal collisions. "Van Buren, like the Sosie of Moliere's Amphitryon,
is 'L' Ami De Tout Le Monde' this is perhaps the great secret of his success in
public llfe, especially against the competitors with whom he is now struggling for
the last step on the ladder of his ambition. Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun,
they indeed are left upon the field for dead; and men of straw, Hugh L. White.
William H. Harrison, and Daniel Webster, are thrust forward in their places.
Neither of these has a principle to lean upon. Van Buren's principle is the
tailisman of democracy, which, so long as this Union lasts, can never fail."
The citizens of the North, who at that time did not descend on Washington,
D.C. in tourist droves as they do today, were shocked to hear that slaves were
openly sold on the capital streets. John Quincy Adams, now a congressman, lead
the drive to free D,C. slaves. He was supported by hundreds of petitions mailed
to Congress. The slaveocracy retaliated by forcing on the lower house a rule
prohibiting debate on the petitions, known to history as the "Gag Rule,"
Naturally candidate Martin Van Buren was asked by concerned citizens for his
position on the gag rule and slavery in the district. He wrote to six pro-slavers in
Jackson, North Carolina this answer: "I must go into the presidential chair, the
Bishop Ott to visit St. Albert's
