Letter from James Buchanan to John Tyler Jr.

James Buchanan writes John Tyler Jr. and explains how sectional tensions will increase after the Whig party nominates General Winfield Scott as their candidate for the 1852 Presidential election. "The result most probably will be to increase the strength & bitterness of those sectional feelings which now threaten the Union," as Buchanan observes. Tyler's father was the tenth President of the United States. Transcript included.
