In the Legislature, a large portion of one of the political parties, and all at once, during the sitting of that body, and in the name of Democracy, left their seats abruptly, leaving less than enough to form a quorum for doing business, and without the power in those who remained, either to proceed in business or to adjourn -before they would go into an election of United States Senators, be cause, forsooth, their party were in a minority, and not able to elect men of their own choice!

This book is a 19th century political polemic against the Democratic Party, specifically the policies of President Andrew Jackson and his successor, Martin Van Buren.

The author also attacks the Democrats for their alleged embrace of nullification, nativism, and abolitionism. The author asserts that the principles of true democracy, as espoused by the Whig Party, are essential for the preservation of the republic. The book provides a detailed critique of the policies of the Democratic Party and offers a defense of the principles of the Whig Party.
