It is a curious coincidence, if this be so, that more than twenty years later we shall find another great President, though bred in the anti-Jacksonian Whig tradition, compelled to take up much the same attitude in regard to a Supreme Court decision delivered by Taney himself. Biddle and his associates believed that the Message would be fatal to the President.
Where formerly had been the vacant lot “across the street,” the Sunday afternoon elysium of the youthful base ball fiend from Biddle Street, now stood a row of brand new pressed-brick “flats.” Marvelous must have been the architectural ingenuity which had contrived to unite so many dwellings into so small a space.
Biddle, in the Revolutionary War, fighting his little frigate against a ship of the line until she blew up with all on board, after inflicting severe loss on her huge adversary; Decatur, heading the rush of the boarders in the night attack when they swept the wild Moorish pirates from the decks of their anchored prize; Lawrence, dying with the words on his lips, "Don't give up the ship"; and Perry, triumphantly steering his bloody sloop-of-war to victory with the same words blazoned on his banner men like these, and like their fellows, who won glory in desperate conflicts with the regular warships and heavy privateers of England and France, or with the corsairs of the Barbary States, left behind a reputation which was hardly to be dimmed, though it might be emulated, by later feats of mere daring.
"Oh," said Leonore in weary tones, "I've danced too much and I'm very, very tired." "Well," said Watts, "see that you sleep late." "I shall be all right to-morrow," said Leonore, "and I'm going to have an early horseback ride." "Peter and I will go too," said Watts. "I'm sorry," said Peter. "I'm to ride with Dorothy and Miss Biddle." "Ha, ha," said Watts. "More Italian lessons, eh?"
Health and happiness. Albany, February 17, 1801. I have heard that you reached Fishkill on Sunday, and thence conclude that you got home on Monday night. When in Philadelphia, send a note to Charles Biddle, inquiring, &c., and to inform him that you are going South. He will call and see you, being one of your great admirers. Desire Doctor Edwards to give Mr.
It's funny too, because, though he doesn't dance or talk, they like him. But Miss Biddle is an older girl, and can talk on subjects which please him. She is very much interested in politics and philanthropy." "I thought," said Leonore, fluffing the lace on her gown, "that Peter never talked politics." "He doesn't," said Dorothy. "But she has studied political economy.
Peter, will you do me a great favor?" "I should like to," said Peter. "Miss Biddle, of Philadelphia, is here. She doesn't know many of the men, and she doesn't dance. Now, if I introduce you, won't you try to make her have a good time?" "Certainly," said Peter, gloomily. "And don't go and desert her, just because another man comes up.
Possibly," he added, thoughtfully "possibly the explanation of the phrase 'a belted earl, the meaning of which has always escaped me." "I mean those personalities won't do," returned Gryce, frowning at the table. "And Mother Biddle and Long Adam, the poacher, are not personalities," said Fisher, "and suppose we mustn't ask how Verner made all the money that enabled him to become a personality."
"'You ain't going, doc? says the Mayor with a howl. 'You ain't going away and leave me to die with this superfluity of the clapboards, are you? "'Common humanity, Dr. Whoa-ha, says Mr. Biddle, 'ought to prevent your deserting a fellow-human in distress. "'Dr. Waugh-hoo, when you get through plowing, says I. And then I walks back to the bed and throws back my long hair. "'Mr.
Daniel Cox, under date of 17th December, 1778, says "Ned Biddle has declined his seat in Congress. The truth is, he means to do more essential service in the assembly, which has ordered the general sense of the people to be taken respecting the present constitution of Pennsylvania. Joe Reed is elected, and accepted the honour of being president and commander-in-chief of the state."
