BUCHANAN, PRESIDENT, 1857
1861.

1901.
During the administration of lanes Bu-
chanan (who was born April 22, 17eD the
country was in ferment of agitation on the
slavery question, which broke out into war
just as his term of office ended. In 1857
Judge fancy gave the famous "Dred Scott
decision" against the rights of negroes as
citizens, and two years later John Browns
raid created intense excitement. Besides
the slavery agitation, the government under
Buchanan had great trouble with Mormon
rebellion in Utah. and with Irish riots in
New York and Washington. Two distin-
guished guests visited the United States at
this time-the Prince of Wales and the Jap
anese Ambassador. Three free States were
admitted: Minnesota in 1858, Oregon in
1850, and Kansas in 1861. Prescott and
Irving died in 1859, and the Atlantic cable
was laid in 1858. The most exciting cleo
tion which the country had ever known was
that of Buchanan's successor which resulted
in Lincoln being declared President.
The last official act of President Buchanan
of any importance was characteristic of his
whole course where the South and its insti-
tutions were concerned. 1t was embodied
in letter from the Secretary of War (Hol)
to the Governor of South Carolina Gan. IS,
1861, which declared, "by order of the
President" that the forts in that State, in
common with the other forts, arsenals. and
property of the United States, are in charge
of the President, and that if assailed, no
matter from what quarter or under what
pretext, it is his duty to protect them by all
the means which the law has placed at his
disposal" adding that it was not his present
purpose to garrison the forts, as he sscon-
sidered them entirely safe under the protec-

PIERCE, PRESIDENT, 1sss-lss7.

Franklin Pierce, born in New Hampshire
in 1904, was graduate of Bowdoin College,
lawyer and Congressman, who so distin-
guished himself in the Mexican War as to
receive brigadier- generalship. In 1882, as
a candidate of the Democratic party, he was
elected fourteenth President of the United
States. His entire administration was one
of intense political excitement, and party
feeling ran high in all parts of the country.
The great cause was the Kansas-Nebraska
bill of 1854, which left it open to the set
tiers of those States whether slavery should
exist there or not. A small civil war, which
was not suppressed for many months, was
occasioned by the rush for the first posses
sion of the land Besides the Kansas
troubles, other important events during
Pierce's administration were a great

GRANT, PRESIDENT, lsee-1s77.

Hiram Ulysses Grant was born on the
27th day of April, 1922, at Point Pleasant,
some twenty-five miles above the city of
Cincinnati, Ohio, on the Ohio River. His
father was of Scotch descent. Ulysses was
the eldest of six children. In 1923 his
parents removed to Georgetown, the
Capital of Brown County, Ohio. Here
young Grants early days were spent, and
here at the village school he obtained the
rudiments of his education. As lad, he

efforts of the U. S. troops, large tract of

by the "Omnibus Bill" of 1880, which
delayed for ten years the Civil War. Before
the exciting debate upon this question was
settled, the nation was thrown into mourn

of five days. He had been in office about
fifteen months. His last words expressed

The assassin was captured and executed, and
some of his confederates shared the same
fate. 1t is satisfactory to know that this act
of infamy was the work of gang of private
men, and that the Confederate Government
or leaders had no hand in it. Thus, when

Zachary Taylor was born in Virginia,

to Kentucky when he was boy, his after
life was identified with that State. In the
War of 1872. and in the later Indian wars
