Money is a demonstration to Integrity.  The San Francisco Mint should know that as the beauty of a coin is more than the side that maps blush to the history of each print.  The 7th US President Andrew Jackson has been on my mind recently and in conversation while sleeping the nightmares are put to bay as the moons counter the conduction as a Conductor would wave to the slight rise of paragraphed designs.

Each pleasure is the napkin that graces the table to push the letter as a word to a swords delight!  The sharpening of ore to the castsmith is the precision of word[WORTH] and yet how fallen we have come from such heights that coins have become trade, yet the coin, awe butter to the worth as the face to the Jackson ranks patrol to the candor that the Mint must allow on a piece:  Watch the gems that diamond the ruby to polish a grain to the oats that have fed the fields that buffalo ripen with their presence.

To grasp the beauty in word would bleed to eternity to Well the water as a bucket of shoes, such plain and raised facets to fruits of yard that a garden would dare not purple.  Fashion the night horrors[nightmares] to the casper and the sheets of time raise the gravity to force the task to a better harness as the buckles to show that dress is but a fabric that covers the sight of blindness to the beauty of flight, no albatross would lose cause to a boiled Pot to retrieve and egg for the beach of fins as fabric to feather, oil to pots, the plight of no more than the bread that found the lips of strapped loins falling the cost of signed.

Perhaps the Mint has lost the press that beauty of a dollar on the value of the fine.  Lines that draw a plight often fall amongst the findings to travel the muds as the pottery in a history wheel.  Turning to point the pier as the wharf of man.

The biography for President Jackson and past presidents is courtesy of the White House Historical Association.

Andrew Jackson was the seventh President of the United States from 1829 to 1837, seeking to act as the direct representative of the common man.

---

More nearly than any of his predecessors, Andrew Jackson was elected by popular vote; as President he sought to act as the direct representative of the common man.

Born in a backwoods settlement in the Carolinas in 1767, he received sporadic education. But in his late teens he read law for about two years, and he became an outstanding young lawyer in Tennessee. Fiercely jealous of his honor, he engaged in brawls, and in a duel killed a man who cast an unjustified slur on his wife Rachel.

Jackson prospered sufficiently to buy slaves and to build a mansion, the Hermitage, near Nashville. He was the first man elected from Tennessee to the House of Representatives, and he served briefly in the Senate. A major general in the War of 1812, Jackson became a national hero when he defeated the British at New Orleans.

In 1824 some state political factions rallied around Jackson; by 1828 enough had joined “Old Hickory” to win numerous state elections and control of the Federal administration in Washington.

In his first Annual Message to Congress, Jackson recommended eliminating the Electoral College. He also tried to democratize Federal officeholding. Already state machines were being built on patronage, and a New York Senator openly proclaimed “that to the victors belong the spoils. . . . ”

Jackson took a milder view. Decrying officeholders who seemed to enjoy life tenure, he believed Government duties could be “so plain and simple” that offices should rotate among deserving applicants.

As national politics polarized around Jackson and his opposition, two parties grew out of the old Republican Party–the Democratic Republicans, or Democrats, adhering to Jackson; and the National Republicans, or Whigs, opposing him.

Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and other Whig leaders proclaimed themselves defenders of popular liberties against the usurpation of Jackson. Hostile cartoonists portrayed him as King Andrew I.

Behind their accusations lay the fact that Jackson, unlike previous Presidents, did not defer to Congress in policy-making but used his power of the veto and his party leadership to assume command.

The greatest party battle centered around the Second Bank of the United States, a private corporation but virtually a Government-sponsored monopoly. When Jackson appeared hostile toward it, the Bank threw its power against him.

Clay and Webster, who had acted as attorneys for the Bank, led the fight for its recharter in Congress. “The bank,” Jackson told Martin Van Buren, “is trying to kill me, but I will kill it!” Jackson, in vetoing the recharter bill, charged the Bank with undue economic privilege.

His views won approval from the American electorate; in 1832 he polled more than 56 percent of the popular vote and almost five times as many electoral votes as Clay.

Jackson met head-on the challenge of John C. Calhoun, leader of forces trying to rid themselves of a high protective tariff.

When South Carolina undertook to nullify the tariff, Jackson ordered armed forces to Charleston and privately threatened to hang Calhoun. Violence seemed imminent until Clay negotiated a compromise: tariffs were lowered and South Carolina dropped nullification.

In January of 1832, while the President was dining with friends at the White House, someone whispered to him that the Senate had rejected the nomination of Martin Van Buren as Minister to England. Jackson jumped to his feet and exclaimed, “By the Eternal! I’ll smash them!” So he did. His favorite, Van Buren, became Vice President, and succeeded to the Presidency when “Old Hickory” retired to the Hermitage, where he died in June 1845.
