Aprašymas

Excerpt from John Tyler and Abraham Lincoln, Who Was the Dwarf?: A Reply to a Challenge In your article Tyler versus Lincoln (april 9) you seek to discredit certain criticisms made by me on Lincoln by attack ing and underrating another President, who died long ago and of course had nothing to do with my remarks. Your sarcastic com ments on Son Tyler's father show. That you have not kept up with the historical advance, for had you cared to read The Whig Party in the South by A. 0. Cole, and the Origins of the Whig Party, by E. Malcolm Carroll, scholars who have made special investigations in contemporary history, you would have learned that the Whig party was a party made up of many distinct ele ments (1834-1841) united for different reasons in opposition to Jackson and Jacksonian Democracy; that Tyler was not a Demo erat adopted by the Whigs, but that he had as good standing in the Whig party as any other Whig; that his nomination in 1839 was a natural consequence of his distinction as a statesman, and of his nomination as Vice-president in 1835; and that the meas ures which he vetoed as President were not Whig measures at all.
