A Tennessee Man’s Address on Federal Power and Party Unity
A Tennessee Representative declares his views as he seeks the state's governorship, tracing the nation’s early party struggles, Federal power versus popular control, and the rise of Jacksonian reforms. He argues for allegiance to Democratic principles, condemns the Federalists, and recalls Adams Clay politics and the 1825 electoral bargain.
