History of the American Nation by William J. Jackman, Vol. 7
Contents:
Constitutional Union Party
This party consisted of Democrats who had for their platform "the Union, the Constitution, and the Enforcement of Law." It succeeded the American or Know-Nothing party, but failed to develop much strength. The organization met at Baltimore, in May, 1860, and nominated John Bell, of Tennessee, and Edward Everett, of Massachusetts, for the presidential offices. Bell received thirty-nine electoral votes. The popular vote cast for him was 589,581. It is a matter of record that this Union party had more influence in the South than in the North. In 1876, James B. Walker, "American" nominee, received 2,636 votes. In 1880, John W. Phelps received seven hundred and seven votes. In 1884, no candidate appeared. In 1888, James W. Curtis received 1,501 votes.
