Excerpt from Mr. Webster's Andover Address and His Political Course While Secretary of State
It may not be improper to state here, that the writer in the present case has no connection whatever, either with the public journals, or with any canvassing for political office. He never sought or held any office whatever, of a political nature, w ich it was in the power of the government or of the people to bestow. He never expects to seek or receive one. At all events, then, his remarks are not prompted by the hopes of promotion, or of the emolu ments which flow from it. And as to the journals which, when embarked in any particular course, are reluctant to swerve from it, the present writer has no other interest in them than what their value excites, and no particular favoritism toward the course which any one of them pursues. Some of them he regards as entitled to his sincere approbation.
Having thus declared who he is not, he may, without farther preface, proceed to make some remarks, premising only that he shall, for convenience sake, and to avoid formality, employ the first person instead of the third, in the remainder of his communication.
