During one election, this man quipped that he could not tell whether he was running for office "or the penitentiary."
During one election, this man quipped that he could not tell whether he was running for office "or the penitentiary." This man helped to popularize the utopian theories of Albert Brisbane and the dietary reforms of Sylvester Graham, the inventor of the graham cracker. He beat out Jeremiah Black to win the candidacy of one party, and in that election he ran with Benjamin Gratz (*) Brown. Abraham Lincoln declared "I would save the Union" in a letter to this man responding to his 1862 editorial, "The Prayer of Twenty Millions." He was the Liberal Republican candidate for president in 1872, but died before the electoral votes were counted and is often credited with coining the phrase "go West, young man." For 10 points, name this American abolitionist and social critic, the founder and editor of the New York Tribune.
