As a young lawyer he became involved in New York politics. As leader of the “Albany Regency,” an effective New York political organization, he shrewdly dispensed public offices and bounty in a fashion calculated to bring votes. Yet he faithfully fulfilled official duties, and in 1821 was elected to the United States Senate. The “Little Magician” was elected Vice President on the Jacksonian ticket in 1832, and won the Presidency in 1836.
