82174	Samuel was serving as private secretary to President James Monroe when he married the President's daughter. Later correspondence between Samuel and his father-in-law indicates that the President frequently relied upon Samuel's political advice and, incidently, for financial aid. After the Monroe administration, Samuel served in the New York legislature in 1825. From 1828 to 1836, he was Postmaster of New York City. Late in life, having moved to Maryland, he exerted his influence against Maryland's succession from the Union when it's fate hung in the balance, before effective steps were taken by federal military forces to insure the defeat of those advocating joining the South. Sam Gouverneur was described as "a real geniel man - no saint". This characterization was verified by the testimony of a contemporary to the effect that sixteen baskets of champaign were frequently consumed at one of his entertainments at Washington. A man of social and sporting tastes, he was interested in racing and the theater, being the owner of a famous horse "Post Boy", and part owner of "The Bowry Theater" in New York. A New York newspaper carried the account of his loss of a bet of twenty thousand dollars on a foot race. Because of his love of champaign, race horses and reckless wagers, he went through the substantial fortune which had been amassed by his mercantile ancesters.
