The minor American parties which have appeared and disappeared during our century and over of national life are the following: Anti-Renters, a New York party which flourished about 1841. They resisted the collection of back rents on the Van Rensselaer manor near Albany. They had strength enough to defeat Wright, the regular Democratic candidate for Governor of New York. Barn-burners, New York, 1846, se-ceders from the Democratic party. They were opposed to slavery extension. Bucktails, New York, about 1815; they supported Madison. Conservatives, New York and some other states, 1837; paper money Democrats. Doughfaces, 1820, Northern members of Congress, who voted in favor of the Missouri compromise. Hunkers, New York, a faction of the Democrats favoring the South, the Barn-burners being the other factor. Know-Nothings, New York, 1854, opposed to naturalization of foreigners unless they had been twenty-one years in the country. Loco-Focos, New York, 1835; a branch of the Democratic party. Liberal Republicans, 1872; Republicans who joined with the Democrats in support of Greeley for president.
