President, the new era OF Monroe, I'll
contrast strangely with the turbulence
which from time to time has since pre-
vailed.
Five periods Of onr political history
are thus summed up:
1. The Washingtonian or Federal
period Of twelve years, including the
administration of Washington and
John Adams, ending in 1890.
2. The Jefferson or. old Republican
period Of twenty years, embracing
Jefferson, Madison and first four years
of Monroe, ending In 1870.
8. Eight years from the second
election Of Monroe to the first election
Of jackson, ending in 1928.
A. The stormy Democratic period
of thirty-two years, from jackson to
Lincoln, ending 1860.
5. The period Of the Republican
party Of twelve years, from Lincoln to
the present day.
