Book Description
Excerpt from Our Presidential Candidates and Political Compendium: Also Containing Lives of the Candidates for Vice-President-the Proceedings of the Three National Conventions-the Three Platforms and the Three Letters of Acceptance We are on the eve of another Presidential Election and the passions, prejudices, favoritism and enthusiasm of the masses, are beginning to be exercised and exhibited in a thousand forms. This is natural, and perhaps not to be condemned if properly controlled, kept within reasonable bounds, and exercised in a just and honorable manner. Every citizen should act honestly and conscientiously after having thoroughly examined the subject matter, in every possible light, and from different standpoints. There are three political parties in our country, and each at its National Convention nominated a candidate for the Presidency. Every party has its great and good men, and he who does the most for the preservation and welfare of his country, should be considered the greatest and best. Men make positions; positions don't make men. Honorable, enterprising, intelligent and resolute persons, out of fragments and bits of opportunities, will oftimes march onward to honor and renown. As political parties, we are fortunate in having now in nomination for the highest office in the gift of the people the three most popular men of their respective parties, and we may say their recognized leaders; men, all of whom have carved, with their own swords, their name imperishably on the facade of the republic; men, whose military and political careers have been distinguished by marked ability, political sagacity and executive force.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Lives of the Present Candidates for President and Vice-President of the United States, Containing a Condensed and Impartial History of the Lives, Public Acts, and Political Views of the Present Candidates IN 1826, Mr. Bell, who had accumulated a moderate for tune, was induced to come forward from his retirement, as a candidate for Congress, in opposition to Felix Grundy, a n that was high in the annals of Kentucky and Tennessee, and is still referred to as one of the great names of the period in which he lived. He was an ardent friend of General Jackson, whose memorable canvass for the Presidency against John Quincy Adams was then progressing. He had long stood at the head of the bar as a profound jurist. He was recognized as an eminent statesman. The odds were greatly in his favor, for, in addition to his own vast reputation, he had the prestige of General Jackson's popularity to aid him. The canvass was protracted throughout the year, and was full of excitement; but Mr. Bell, then in the prime of life, full of energy, buoyant with hope, calm, deliberate, and determined, pursued it with untiring energy and the most marked vigor. In the face ofilre odds against him, in 1827, then in his 30th year, he was elected by a thousand majority, in a district where it had been thought there was no possi bility of his success. His course in Congress was so manly, so conservative, so consistent with the wishes of his constit neuts, and he had so firmly riveted himself in their affections, that for seven Congresses, or fourteen years, he continued to be re - elected.

The passage of Citizens United by the Supreme Court in 2010 sparked a renewed debate about campaign spending by large political action committees, or Super PACs.

This book provides a wide range of opinions on the issue. Includes primary and secondary sources from a variety of perspectives; eyewitnesses, scientific journals, government officials, and many others.
