It required, of course, no small art and delicacy thus to throw into the shade that distinctive opinion of Whigism, which Burke had clothed in his imperishable language in 1789, and which Fox had solemnly bequeathed to the Party, when The Answer, drawn up by the Noble Lords, did not, it must be confessed, surmount this difficulty very skilfully.
McClellan works hard Prince Napoleon Manassas fortifications a humbug Mr. Seward Improves Old Whigism McClellan's powers enlarged Jeff. Davis makes history Fremont emancipates in Missouri The Cabinet. The truth about Bull Run will, perhaps, only reach the people when it becomes reduced to an historical use. I gather what I am sure is true.
Lincoln, in 1851, stumped for Scott, the candidate for the Presidency, the many eulogies showered by Lincoln upon Scott still more strengthened the worship which, of course, Seward lively entertains in Lincoln's bosom.

In that alliance they had a crucible into which they poured Abolitionism, Maine liquor-lawism, and what there was left of Northern Whigism, and then the Protestant feeling against the Catholic, and the native feeling against the foreigner. All these elements were melted down in that crucible, and the result was what was called the Fusion party.
"Not I," denied Janice. "And why should I be?" "Shame upon thee, Janice Meredith, for liking the enemies of thy country!" "And pray, madam," questioned Janice, "what has caused this sudden fervour of Whigism in you?" "I never was unfaithful to my country, nor smiled on its persecutors." "Humph!" sniffed Janice.
