Fifty-Four Forty or Fight
If the writer of these lines is even partially right, and we have no reason to doubt the soundness of his judgment, then the existence of words like agrarianism and locofoco and their effect on the electorate must be considered as a factor at least as important to the understanding of historical events as the defalcations of a Swartwout and the allegation that Van Buren used golden spoons and rode in an English-made coach. But while few historian…

The truth is, however, that the whole field is…
