ilroad then landed passengers or freight in the city, no ocean steamers departed from the docks, and there was no telegraphic communication. Thirteenth Street marked the northern boundary of the settled part of Manhattan Island, and although, in 1828, lots from two to six miles distant from the City Hall were valued at from only $60 to $700 each, more than one writer of the day was ready to concede that, owing to advantages of cheaper land on the opposite shores of Long Island and New Jersey, was President, Calhoun Vice-President, and Henry Clay Secretary of State when Greeley went to East Poultney, and public feeling was seething over the charge that there had been a corrupt bargain between Adams and Clay. In the national election of 1828 Calhoun was the candidate for Vice-President on the Jackson (Democratic) ticket, and Adams and Rush headed the National Republican ticket. We Vermonters were all protectionists, wrote Greeley; the Northern Spectator was an Adams paper of the part

States actually surpasses belief. There is scarcely a hamlet which has not its own newspaper. The number of newspapers and periodicals in the United States in 1828 was estimated at 863, with an annual issue of over 68,000,000, while the census of 1840 showed 1,403, with a yearly issue of 195,838,073 copies. New York State reported 161 in 1828, and 245 in 1840. But he found that the most distinguished classes of society are rarely led to engage in these undertakings ; and that the journalists of the United States are usually placed in a very humble position, with a scanty education and a vulgar turn of mind. When John (afterward Lord) Campbell eked erstood that it would have hurt him professionally had it been known that he was a literary man when he began writing. Of the literary taste of New York city in 1828, a writer in the Picture of New York said: Most of the periodical works attempted in this city have proved abortive in a few years. The population is so nearly co

He heard the hard times of his boyhood in New England attributed to the cheapness of English products; both the political parties in the presidential campaign of 1828, when he was an apprentice in the East Poultney office, professed devotion to protection, and speeches which he heard at a consultation of protectionists in the American Institute, which he attended while waiting for a job during his first year in New York city, strengthened his already formed convictions. But during the earlier years of his editorial work in New York and Albany the tariff was not a prominent issue. The compromise act passed in 1833 continued in force until 1842, and, although it was not operating as C

e cotton States wanted to secede, we will do our best to help them out, not that we want them to go, but that we loathe the idea of compelling them to stay. The abstract right of a State to secede, under the Constitution, is upheld by some Republicans of prominence to-day. Without following their argument, it may be pointed out that what Washington had in view was an inviolable Union, that indissoluble Union which he recommended to the Governors of the States; and that John Quincy Adams, in 1828, declared that, while the people of a State, by the primitive right of insurrection against oppression might declare their State out of the Union, they have delegated no such power to their legislators or their judges; and if there be such a right, it is the right of an individual to commit suicide — the right of an inhabitant of a populous city to set fire to his own dwelling house. Greeley's declarations were eagerly accepted by the most radical defenders of secession in the South, Tomb
