6096. OFFICES, Gift of.—
I dare say you
have found that the solicitations for office are
the most painful incidents to which an executive
magistrate is exposed. The ordinary
affairs of a nation offer little difficulty to a
person of any experience; but the gift of
office is the dreadful burthen which oppresses
him.—
