rather a singular fact that there is
lri but one ex. President of the. United
Y States living, and that he was not
a. chosen to the Office. AS the Presi-
dents of this political generation have
for the most part been men in the
prime oflife at the time they were
chosen, and as four years have con-
stituted the rnle Of seryice,-it might
be thoughts that, .. in the natural or
Is der sf things, several of them would
Ga be living at any time Even Frank

alive, but 70 years Of age, or five years
younger than Mr.. Fillmore. 1t can
hardly be said that the Presidency is
calculated to break down man, al
though .John Quincy Adams express
ed the strongest sense of its discom~
forts and annoyances. 81 The lbicgra-
