; While the party officially still kept
the name Republican, which had coma
cm down from Tj?omi3 Jefferson’s
time, it W8; popularly known as
Democratic Republican or just Demo-
cratic, as it is today. Contrary to a
widespread impression, the
convention of 1832 did not nominate
Andrew ' Jacksbh for President, nor
was ho a candidate before it, though
it’ did, by resolution, concur in his’
nomination to succeed himself.
Jackson Already Nominated
The nomination of Jackson had al-
ready been made by legislative cau-
cuses or conventions in several states,
apd by common consent it was every-
where accepted by democrats that he
would be a candidate and should be
re-elected. The convention, which
was brought about largely by Presi-
dent Jackson, was held for the spe-
cific purpose of nominating a candi-
date for Vice-President as shown by
the tifle to the official proceedings
already quoted.
' A study of the proceedings has
more than the usual interest (just now
because of a recurrent discussion 'of
tbe two-thirds rule and the unit rule.
The two-thirds rule, which has con-
tinued since that time, originated in
the first Democratic National Con-
vention, and while there is room for
sbme doubt that the unit rule, as now
understood, was then employed, the
method of voting pursued, and the
fact that the delegations of all the
states except four voted without di- |
vision, indicate that most of the dele-
gations decided to vote as state units.
Before quoting from the proceed-
ings, it may be well to refer to the
political and historical background
for the light it sheds on the work Of
the convention, including the rules
under which it was conducted. Mar-,.
tin Van BureU, who had served for
some time aS Secretary of State wi-
de r President Jackson, was nominat-
ed by him for Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary to Great
Britain, and was serving in that
country when the United States Sen-
ate rejected his nomination. The
vote of the Senators was a tie and
Vice-President Calhoun cast the de-
ciding vote against Van Buren. - I
The “Senate Coalition”
The feelings of General Jackson
toward the “Senate Coalition,” as the
opposition id the upper branch to his
administration was known, can easi-
ly be imagined. Jackson was im-
mensely popular. His friends and
admirers resented the action of the
Senate as unjustifiable and basely
partisan, and set about to vindicate
and sustain' Van Buren and the Presi-
dent. At some of the state meetings
to choose delegates, ■ the “Senate
Coalition” was condemned and the
resolution also endorsed Van Buren
for Vice-President. It appears that
some of the delegations were under
instructions.
While the party was practically
unanimous for the re-election of
President Jackson, there was a good
deal of Contention about who should
be nominated for Vice-President. It
was charged by Jackson’s friends
that the scheme of the opposition,
particularly of the “Senate Coali-
tion,” was to cause the electoral col-
lege vote for Vice-President to be
scattered, so as to prevent a majority
for any one candidate, and thu*/to
carry the election -to the United
States Senate.
Desire to Unite Sentiment
So, as a reason for the first Demo-
cratic National Convention, one finds
in the newspapers of the time, the
desire to unite the sentiment of the

President of the United States. It I to join our- re.-pectivc churches a»-
did not matter whether from some of
the states the number of delegates
exceeded the number' of votes to
which they were entitled". Whatever
the number of delegates, they agreed
on the ps’-eon or persons who should
be supported for the nomination for
Viee-P '.sident and the vote of the
state was cast accordingly. New
Jersey, for example, had fifty-three
delegates but only eight votes. This
procedure*' and the rule of the 1832
convention authorizing it, apparently
shed hght on the origin and reasons
for the unit rule.
The states that split their votes
were: Maryland which cast 7 for Van
Buren and 3 for Philip P. JJarbour of
Virginia; North Carolina, 9 for Van
Buren and 6 fo$ Barbour; Alabama,
1 for Van Buren and 6 for Barbour;
Illinois, 2 for Van Buren and 2 for
Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky.
All other states voted without divis-
ion, The vote by states is not in the
offic^, proceedings published at Bal-
timore, but is attached as a note to
the kamb proceeding's published in
Albany, N. Y., and the New York
