Excerpt from The History of the United States, From Their Colonization to the End of the Twenty-Sixth Congress, in 1841, Vol. 4: In Four Volumes
The next Administration was about to exhibit a striking contrast to that of Mr. Adams. While the Executive power had been so feebly wielded by the latter that its efficiency was scarcely adequate to its prescribed duties, that of General Jackson, aided as it was by his unequalled popularity, had a strength which seemed to indicate a different government: and the fears of this branch of Federal power, which had hitherto been confined to Democratic jealousy, was now seriously felt by the conservative portion of the community.
This wide difference is attributable, in the main, to the different degrees of popular favor which those high functionaries severally possessed. Mr. Adams was, indeed, very generally esteemed as a man of great acquirements, of business habits, and of strict probity.
