The death of a Virginia congressman, John Clopton, in 1816 resulted in Tyler's being chosen to fill the vacancy in the house of representatives and thus brought him on the stage of national affairs. The death of John Taylor in 1824 resulted in the nomination of Tyler to fill the vacancy thus created In the United States senate but 'his friend, Littleton Tazewell, was elected to the post. The death of William Henry Harrison made Tyler President of the United States. in 1841 and a little more than a year after he moved into the White House, it was draped in black in mourning for his wife, Letitia Christian Tyler, who died September 10, 1842. And finally his own death prevented his holding the last office to which he was ever elected membership in the congress of the Confederate States of America. Tyler was born at Greenway in Charles City county,. Virginia; March 29, 1790, the son of John Tyler who had served as governor of the Old Dominion from 1808 to 1811. Fourteen years later' another John Tyler, (the junior) was chief executive of Virginia but after serving one term was elected to the United States senate. When the doctrine of nullification was proposed by the South Carolinians, .Tyler broke with his party and resigned from the senate. By 1835 there .was a serious schism in the Democratic party. Not only had the "nullifiers," under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, broken away, but a much larger party, which was formed in the South under the .name of Whigs, were opposed to the ' policies of Jackson and IF ' AN infant or young child out with hives or a H HI Ml I'll U --r..

What they were, no one knew for the Whig convention had not adopted any platform and in the campaign there was no discussion of issues between the two parties. As a matter of fact, the Whigs had nominated Harrison because they believed he could be "managed" and Henry Clay intended to do the managing. 'Brain Trust' Although retaining Harrison's cabinet, Tyler immediately assembled about him a group of unofficial advisers (the first "Brain Trust") which included Prof. Nathaniel Beverly Tucker, Early-Da- y true to his oath of office. Then 10 members of congress, headed John Quincy Adby ams, now a member of the house of representatives, brought in a report charging Tyler with violating a promise he had made before his nomination and threatening to impeach him. Tyler replied that he had never pledged anything to the Whigs. Despite this denial, the Whig congressmen issued a series of "Addresses to the People", in which they charged that the President had gone into office fully committed to a program which he now repudiated, thus '.'selling out the party." They listed the reforms which they desired and which they declared, the President was "impeding." Finally, when Tyler filled his cabinet with Southern Democrats, headed by John C. Calhoun as secretary of state, it was the last straw. The Whigs issued a proclamation that "all political connection between them and John Tyler was at an end from that day henceforth."
