Excerpt from The Nineteenth Century, With 20th Century Appendix: Containing Calendars From 1800 to 1975, Inclusive; With Important Events to Date True nobility is derived from virtue, not from birth. Title may be purchased, but virtue is the only coin that makes the bargain valid - Burton. The long line of illustrious men who have held the exalted position of Presi. Dent of the United States has not its counterpart in the world's history. Not rulers by Divine right but by the will of the people, - occasionally not by the majority of the popular vote, but, by the majority of the Electoral College, which is a conception of the early Congress, and, while we perhaps think that the majority ought to rule, yet this is not the law, and we are a wonderfully good people to obey the law. The men who have filled these exalted positions came from the people,.-some had wealth, 'tis true, others came from the farm and other humble walks of life, but with a desire to serve the people and advance the interests of the Republic. N o czars, no emperors, no kings with an entailed succession, with or without brains; no blue blood, made bluer by running back into barbarism, but good, rich, American blood that thrills the very soul,-inde pendent, honest, God-fearing men, whose counsels have carried the Republic through the perils of birth at Bunker Hill and Yorktown and Valley Forge until to-day we can dictate terms of peace to the proudest nations on the globe.
