The love of country, fame and honor : beginnings to late 1830. Andy will fight his way in the world --; Follow me and I'll save you yet --; A marriage, a defeat, and a victory --; You know best, my dear --; Ladies' wars are always fierce and hot --; A busybody Presbyterian clergyman --; My white and red children --; Major Eaton has spoken of resigning --; An opinion of the President alone --; Liberty and union, now and forever --; General Jackson rules by his personal popularity --; I will die with the Union : late 1830 to 1834. I have been left to sup alone --; A mean and scurvy piece of business --; Now let him enforce it --; The fury of a chained panther --; Hurra for the hickory tree! --; A dreadful crisis of excitement and violence --; The mad project of disunion --; We are threatened to have our throats cut --; Great is the stake placed in our hands --; My mind is made up --; He appeared to feel as a father --; The people, sir, are with me --; We are in the midst of a revolution --; The evening of his days : 1834 to the end. So you want war --; A dark, lawless, and insatiable ambition! --; There is a rank due to the United States among nations --; The wretched victim of a dreadful delusion --; How would you like to be a slave? --; The strife about the next Presidency --; Not one would have ever got out alive --; I fear Emily will not recover --; The President will go out triumphantly --; The shock is great, and grief universal.
