The Maryland Democracy is an old

Thomas was a member of the Mary

that weakened the power of the slave

why did they put on Henry

to the railroad corporations, which

But it was an insult to the office to
set up an S1-year-old Vice President.
A secretary of state, like Hill, OF
some plantation man, would under
the law become President if Parker
proved refractory and DAVIS died or
decayed. After Franklin Pierce was
elected and before his Inauguration

Civil War resulted. The Republican
party had not then arisen and was
the public revolt against such treach-

link between those sinister times and
these, and was the favorite of the
South for President, but the South
had destroyed its influence and by
