| | Liberia and Democracy -- By Dr. H. Boima Fahnbulleh Jr. |
 | | The True Whig Party’s clause asserted that in standing for the position of President of Liberia, an individual must be ''resident in the Republic ten years prior to his election. | | | The True Whig Party members were not pleased with the Sawyer-Wonseley Constitution as they had the nagging fear that the democratic liberties outlined in the Constitution would allow the progressive forces to mobilise the people and win all elections. | | | The Sawyer-Wonseley Constitution must be accepted as the new constitution and the revised True Whig Party constitution thrown on the scrapheap where it belongs. |

| | Whig voters were warned that the entire portion of the southern Democracy was demanding not only the immediate annexation of Texas but the repeal of the tariff as well. | | | The Woodville Republican, not committed, it is true, to the cause of Whiggery until after 1840, declared in favor of the annexation of Texas, which would come in as a slave-markets of Virginia, North Carolina, and Maryland would be holding State. | | | On the contrary, every heresy and ism of the time, according to the Whig organs, was now a monopoly of the Democratic party that stood for the advancement of individuals and denied the supremacy of the Constitution and laws, unless interpreted by the masses at the ballot box. |

| | The American True Whig Party did not exist before 1834, but its nucleus was formed in 1824 when the adherents of John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay joined forces against Andrew Jackson. | | | This coalition, which later called itself the National Republican party, increased in strength after the election of Jackson in 1828 and was joined in opposition to the President by other smaller parties, the most notable being the Anti-Masonic party. | | | Parallel county conventions chose candidates for the legislature who were virtually assured election at the polls. |

| | When the Whig Delegates met in Phila- delphia, and organized a Convention for the choice of a candidate, they pledged themselves virtually, by that act, to sus- tain, or at least not to injure, or oppose to the detriment of the party, the nominee of the Convention. | | | And yet, a stricter construction of the Constitution might not be undesirable even for the Whigs: it might perhaps lead to the impeachment of a President, who, by wresting the Constitution, has involved the nation in a cruel and costly war. | | | This, however, was less his own error than the error of the Whig friends in whom he confided. |

| | Although Patterson is convincing when arguing that "whig" reformers often acted on principle alone, she is much less successful at illustrating the historical continuity and essential similarity of "whig" principles. | | | Thus Patterson hopes to demonstrate that while the principled behavior of individual "whigs" was responsible for many of the legal and political freedoms that we enjoy today, each of the individuals to whom we owe these freedoms also acted inconsistently and at times gave in to unprincipled or self-interested motivations. | | | Second, Patterson disputes the conventional whig view that the historical progress of liberty has unfolded at a smooth and steady rate. |
