Whig strains and factional tempers roil party unity
The piece argues that Gen Harrison's path to policy success is endangered by self serving leaders and factional quarrels within the Whig party. It notes dissatisfaction in Albany with Washington, disputes over the Sub treasury and bank plans, and calls for a caucus system to restore unity and advance measures like currency reform and a national bank. Washington papers quote Whig letters reflecting gloom and urging concerted action to save the party and govern.
