Lincoln Discussion Symposium

Are you sure you have the right photo? I think that's a photograph of stage actress Julia Dean Cooper. According to her Wikipedia page, she was the daughter of actor and theater manager Edwin Dean:

Yes, I am sure I have the right photo. I agree the other lady could be a twin, but the President's daughter whom I posted did not have a twin sister.

Hint #1: Like my previous question, this daughter of a President has an article devoted to her in Wikipedia.

Note to Steve: It's possible that there is some sort of confusion/mistake between photos of the Presidential daughter I am looking for and Julia Dean Cooper. The two women do look very much alike.
I'll explain why I am confused after the right answer is posted.

I'm not sure about the period - the hairdo looks like 19th century, the dotted blouse rather 20th century. Was the photo taken in the 20th century?

The image is from the 19th century.

John Tyler?

Nope, not John Tyler.

Total shot in the dark. Grover Cleveland?

Nope, not Cleveland.

Hint #2: She frequently served as White House hostess when her mother was ill.

Millard Fillmore

Congratulations, Steve! Yes, it is Mary Abigail Fillmore.

The image I posted is a reverse image of the photos here

and

However, the reversed image I posted looks exactly like an actress named Julia Dean.

Thus, I am confused. I think I posted an image of Millard Fillmore's daughter, but I am not 100% certain. Possibly someone can clear up the confusion.

The image as one of the actress was published in 1890 here:

Thanks, Eva. That sure looks like the lady I posted.

Here's a photo of Mary Abigail Fillmore from Wikipedia:

Please try to answer without googling.

Which President is responsible for this quote?

"Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle."
