Okay. It is official. Our country has finally sank to a level last seen in 1828. I have frequently stated that as much as the political climate is poisoned these days with incredibly bogus and personal attacks, we are not as bad as it was back then.
Well, now we are there.
Here is what the lowest benchmark was until now:
Rare newspapers.
God help us all.

Here is what the lowest benchmark was until now:
It will not, we believe, be contradicted, that the Adams presses generally professing to belong to the old federal party, and of course, to good society have, in the present contest, lost sight of every decent regard for public reputation and private feelings. The man, who, as Mr. Jefferson said, has filled the measure of his countrys glory, has been the object of their unceasing and most slanderous attacks. He who achieved the greatest victory in modern times, and shed a lustre on the arms of his country has been called a murderer, a swindler, an adulterer and a traitor, because the people have selected him as their Candidate for President. Not content with such vile falsehoods, their despair has driven them to greater extremities. In Charles Hammonds paper, a bosom friend of Clay, we find the following horrid and gross attack: General Jacksons mother was a COMMON PROSTITUTE, brought to this country by the British soldiers! She afterwards married a MULATTO MAN, with whom she had several children, of which number General JACKSON IS ONE!!!"
Rare newspapers.
God help us all.
