The Sovereign People, baulked in 1824, claimed its own in 1828, and Jackson went to the White House as its direct nominee. His first step was to make a pretty thorough clearance of the Departmental Offices from the highest to the lowest.
It is a notorious fact that the public land laws have been deflected from their beneficent original purpose of home-making by lax administration, short-sighted departmental decisions, and the growth of an unhealthy public sentiment in portions of the West.
The Assistant Commissioner paused, then added: “Those fellows are a perfect pest.” In order to raise his drooping glance to the speaker’s face, the Personage on the hearthrug had gradually tilted his head farther back, which gave him an aspect of extraordinary haughtiness. “Why not leave it to Heat?” “Because he is an old departmental hand.
