nfesses that he was an ardent politician when he was not half old enough to vote. His newspaper apprenticeship gave him his first opportunity to share in political discussion, and aid in the work of a campaign. John Quincy Adams was President, Calhoun Vice-President, and Henry Clay Secretary of State when Greeley went to East Poultney, and public feeling was seething over the charge that there had been a corrupt bargain between Adams and Clay.

With a speech by Calhoun in the Senate as a text, the Tribune said on June 29, 1848: Thanks to a kind providence, and the manly straightforwardness of John C. Calhoun, the great queJohn C.
