Excerpt from Reminiscences: 1827-1897

Mr. Archer of Virginia. I remember, in the same intimate association at this time Messrs. Macduffie, Hayne, and Hamilton of South Carolina, Cuthbert of Georgia, Stevenson and Rives of Virginia, Buchanan of Penn sylvania, White and Eaton of Tennessee, King of Alabama, and Livingston of Louisiana.

Among the friends of Mr. Crawford, none exerted greater influence or commanded more respect than my father and Mr. Van Buren. They had been his special friends during the Monroe Administration and pending the Pre sidential Election of 1824. Mr. Crawford's health had removed him from the political arena, and his friends were divided between Mr. Adams and General Jackson. Messrs. Van Buren, Forsyth, and my father, being recognised leaders of the friends of Mr. Craw ford who rallied to the support of General Jackson in 1828, all three of them, with Livingston of Louisiana, occupied the chief places in his administration during his eight years in the following order: Ist, Mr. Van Buren; 2nd, Mr. Livingston; 3rd, Mr. M°~ Lane; 4th, Mr. Forsyth. These four with the vice-president, Mr. Calhoun, and thosealready named, may be considered the leaders of the coalition of the Jackson and Crawford parties in 1828, in opposition to the partisans of Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay. Each of these four had contested for the Presidency in 1824 and had been supporters of the Demo cratic Party under Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. The Federal Party may be said to have entirely disappeared as a National Party before the close of Mr. Monroe's Admini stration.
