First Inaugural Address of Andrew
JacksonWEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1829
  • (Excerpt) The recent demonstration of public
    sentiment inscribes on the list of Executive
    duties, in characters too legible to be
    overlooked, the task of reform, which will
    require particularly the correction of those
    abuses that have brought the patronage of the
    Federal Government into conflict with the freedom
    of elections, and the counteraction of those
    causes which have disturbed the rightful course
    of appointment and have placed or continued power
    in unfaithful or incompetent hands.
  • In the performance of a task thus generally
    delineated I shall endeavor to select men whose
    diligence and talents will insure in their
    respective stations able and faithful
    cooperation, depending for the advancement of the
    public service more on the integrity and zeal of
    the public officers than on their numbers.
