I removed the sentence "He also founded, published, and wrote in the National Journal (1823–1830)[c] and would later donate a stone to the Washington Monument." because the information about the periodical is better presented in the second paragraph above; this is redundant. The statement about the Washington Monument is unsupported as far as I can see, and seems of much less consequence than most of the rest of the article.
