He exchanged epithets with bystanders who were all too ready to spur him on with their "Give it to 'em, Andy!" and "Bully for you, Andy!" giving the presidency the "ill-savor of a corner grocery" and filling his supporters with amazement and chagrin. The North soon looked upon him as a vulgar boor and remembered that he had been intoxicated when inaugurated as Vice-President.
He said: "I, who had been vice-president of Magdalen I, who flattered myself I was coming to the fore as a dramatist to have a five-pound note flung at my head, like a ticket for soup to a pauper, or a bone to a dog, and by an actress, too!
