The monroe doctrine
Mr. Monroe declined a third term on account of the cry of “Cæsarism” having been raised by a rural journal. On retiring from public life Mr. Monroe entered upon literary pursuits, and wrote some very able dime novels. His master-piece, called “The Poisoned Peanut, or the Ghostly Goblin of the Gory Glen,” has been translated into every language.
John Quincy Adams,
of Massachusetts, next tried on the presidential shoes (1825). Business being dull, Mr. Adams whitewashed the Presidential Mansion, (a barrel of lime having been appropriated by Congress,) since which time it has been known as the White House.
Mr. Adams conducted himself in a gentlemanly manner, kept good hours, and paid his board regularly.
Andrew Jackson
was next called to the chair. Mr. Jackson lived chiefly upon hickory nuts, and it was in recognition of this well-known fact that he was affectionately nicknamed “Old Hickory” by his admirers.
