Lot of Three John Sergeant ALS's
<B>Lot of Three Autograph Letters Signed by John Sergeant</B></I> A lot of three letters by American politician John Sergeant dated Jan. 2, 1846, Dec. 5, 1845, and Dec. 25, 1846 to attorney Charles W. Brooke. The letter dated Dec. 25 reads in part: <I>"...am highly gratified at the result in Jackson v The Bank. It is just and right. The argument of the French bill case was finished yesterday. Nothing occurred to change my view of the case. The right is clearly with us. If we gain it (as we certainly ought) nothing will remain but the Georgia case, and that too I think we must succeed in. Such victories, besides the good results, will teach some respect for the Bank, and prevent aggressions, encouraged heretofore by the supposed helplessness..."</B></I><BR><BR>John Sergeant was Henry Clay's running mate on the National Republican ticket against Andrew Jackson in 1832. Jackson enjoyed a landslide victory, basing his platform in vehement opposition to the establishment of a National Bank.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Flat (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
