Ayf.r Co., Lowell, Maw?, Jackson's Regard for Van Buren. Between Jackson and Van Buren, on the other hand, the latter being Vice President during Jackson's second term, there was warm friendship. Richard M. Johnson, the Vice President during Van Rurcn's term, was disliked by the Van Buren faction of the Democracy, and though Van Buren got the unani mous vote of the convention of i8j6, Johnson's vote was barely the two thirds necessary to nominate. It is usually asserted that Harrison and Tylor belonged to different parties, and that if Harrison had lived to serve out his term instead of dying, as he did, a month after it began, there would have been no friendship between them. Polk who succeeded Tylor, had no cspccia! friendship for Dallas, the Vice Presi dent. Dallas' principal rival in the De mocracy of Pennsylvania. James Bu chanan, was made Secretary of State by Polk, and Dallas' counsel was seldom sought bv the Administration. ?
