Lincoln must have been glad of this opportunity to speak out of hisheart his words of sincere admiration for a man whom he had helped toelect President of the United States. From the outset Lincoln hadbelieved in Taylor, while many other Whigs refused to support, orsupported with languid interest, a candidate who was a slave-holder andwho had borne a conspicuous part in the Mexican War.
Taylor was nominated by a Whig Convention, which met in Philadelphia, June 7, 1848. The party was so divided
...that it could not put forth adistinctive platform. Even an attempt to unite upon an expressionconcerning the Wilmot Proviso was regarded as so divisive that it wasnot permitted to come to a vote. The real platform was General Taylor, and his popular nickname, "Old Rough and Ready. " Although Taylor was nopolitician and a stranger even to the ballot-box, he regarded himself asa Whig, but he took pains to explain that he was not an "ultra Whig. "Daniel Webster called him "an ignorant old frontier Colonel, " but notonly Webster, but Clay and Seward, joined in his support.
