“Nathaniel A. Ware, a territorial officer and rich land speculator, became in his later years an ardent economic nationalist and belligerent Whig.  In the 1840’s  he published three books–an insignificant novel, a jeremiad against Jacksonian Democracy, and an economic treatise which may be one of the most carefully reasoned expositions of the economic theory of national Whiggery that has been penned.  In this work, Notes on Political Economy as Applicable to the United States (1844), Ware soundly argued the case for protective tariffs, increased manufactures and federal support of internal improvements and education.”
