Excerpt from Political Remarks by "N.": Numbers IX, X, XI
When Mr. Buchanan virtually relinquished the cares of State, which, like a bankrupt, he assigned to General Scott and the Black Republicans, who scorned him; he occupied and consoled himself, in his occultation, by preparing for his last hiding place at Wheatland. Sancho was a man of purer heart and more honest, and therefore the analogy becomes less perfect; for the late President, in his retreat from the greatest temple of liberty the world ever saw, can never equal the truthfulness of his model.
