JAMES MONROE.
(By George Fitch.)
James Monroe was the lil'th
president of the United States,
and was the only president who
was ever re-elected without caus
ing apoplexy to the opposition.
James Monroe was born in Vir
ginia, in Westmorland county,
which produced most of our early
presidents, and has produced very
little since, owing to the bashful
ness of railroads about entering
it. Monroe was the son of rich
parents., and went to William and
Mary College, where he spent his
time in study, thus proving that
a young- man can become presi
dent, even if he neglects athlet
ics and other college activities.
He was wounded in the revolu
tion, and in 1783 became a dele
gate to the Continental Congress
at the age of 25. He was minis
ter 10 France, and governor of
Virginia afterward, and dually
drove the biggest land bargain on
record. In 1803 he picked up
| Louisiana for 815,000,000, it. be
ing cheap at 100 times the
amount. Later on, when pres
ident, he picked up Florida. He
was an inveterate shopper.
. Monroe would never have been
president but for the shortness
of human memory. After he had
negotiated the Great Britain
treaty of 1808, he was so unpop
ular that men named Monroe de
clined lo brag about their rela
tionship to him, and he retired to
Virginia, presumably for life. Yet
in 1811 he was elected governor
again, and in 1813 became secre
tary of state. He became presi
dent with scarcely a struggle in
1817, and kept everybody so good
nalur d that four years later no
body took the trouble to get out
lithographs and become a candi
date against him.
Monroe is chiefly famous for
the Monroe doctrine, which was
a “keep off the grass” sign, which
he stuck on the western hemis
phere, in a prominent place,
where Europe could read it. This
warning has never been disre
garded but once, and that time
resulted chiefly in obituaries.
James Monroe died in 1831,
greatly beloved, and almost every
state has named a county for him.
