20. _Meaning of Whig and Tory._--May I beg sufficient space in your
journal to inquire for the _exact etymology_ of the terms "Whig" and
"Tory?" We all know the exact time when these first came into use. We
all understand precisely the meaning of the terms "Conservative,"
"Liberal," "Radical," "Peelite," "Protectionist," all of which, with the
exception of Peelite, are equally applicable to things not political;
but Whig and Tory can only be used in this one sense. From whence then
their derivation?
