Good.<br /> <br /> Ezra Wheeler Wisconsin Democrat was serving his only term in Congress when he wrote this October 15 letter to his constituents in the Berlin Courant. He retired from Congress at the end of his term.<br /> Lincoln supporters reprinted the letter in this broadside for the edification of voters in Wheeler's Fifth Wisconsin District. Wheeler "cannot support McClellan and Pendleton without being false to his Country and false to the platform on which he was placed by the Democratic party of this district two years ago. . . As a loyal Union Democrat he now advocates and vote for the re-election of Abraham Lincoln." Wheeler explains that a Democratic victory "would inevitably be the separation of the Northern and Southern States and following that probably a division among the Northern States; and finally the destruction of our Government."<br /> We have not located a record of this broadside. <br /> Not located in Sabin Bartlett or on OCLC or the online sites of U WI Libraries AAS LCP Newberry Harvard Yale as of January 2024. unknown

Praising the incumbent John Quincy Adams the Address proclaims "It is sufficient to say of him that talents of the highest order are joined to uncommon attainments. We would ask you to turn from the rantings of demagogues the bold fictions of an irresponsible press. Is not our country moving on peacefully and prosperously in the great march of improvement" <br /> Adams's opponent General Jackson is unsuited for the presidency: "His character has been formed as a military chieftain.

It now stands for nothing more than a corrupting combination between plutocrats and politicians to plunder the people." <br /> Three former Republicans express their dismay at their Party's moral collapse in the Gilded Age and their indignation at Republican mistreatment of Union Civil War veterans. They announce their plans to vote for Grover Cleveland the Democratic candidate in the upcoming presidential election.

186440557New York: Bromley & Company 1864. 19" x 24" lithograph broadside cartoon. Old tears repaired with tape on verso. Long horizontal tear at center has been reinforced by tape on verso. Light wrinkling and toning. The cartoon remains bold solid and intact. Good.<br /> <br /> "The first in a series of four harsh anti-Lincoln satires published by Bromley & Co. in New York. An imaginary dream of Jack Downing a comic Yankee character created in the 1830s by Seba Smith has Lincoln and some of his supporters and cabinet members as a band of undertakers about to inter the Constitution. <br /> "In 1862 displeased by Attorney General Edward Bates's slowness in enforcing the Conspiracies Act the President took matters into his own hands and issued a proclamation 'directing trial by court martial or military commissions of all persons who impeded the draft discouraged enlistments or committed other disloyal acts.' Around thirty-eight thousand people were arrested denied the right of habeas corpus and held in jail until brought to trial. This heavy-handed act provides the fuel for the artist's attack here. <br /> "Secretary Stanton is shown driving a hearse 'War Democracy' drawn by four horses with the heads of War Democrats left to right: John Cochrane Benjamin F. Butler Thomas Francis Meagher and Daniel S. Dickinson. Secretary Stanton says 'My jackasses had a load but they pull'd it through bravely. Cochrane: 'I pull for the side that pays the best always.' Butler: 'A million of dollars from New-Orleans'. . . <br /> "At right journalist Horace Greeley and Massachusetts senator Charles Sumner bury a casket labeled 'Constitution. Three other caskets 'Union' 'Habeas Corpus' and 'Free Speech Charge Express' wait nearby. Greeley: 'I guess we'll bury it so deep that it will never get up again.' Sumner: 'Be still you old fool. Let us first be sure that it is all under.' <br /> "A sober Lincoln watches with folded arms asking 'Chase will it stay down" Beside him treasury secretary Salmon P. Chase responds '. . . It must stay down. Or we shall all go up!' . . . <br /> "Abolitionist clergyman Henry Ward Beecher presides over the ceremony with a black child in his arms praying 'Not thy will oh Lord! But mine be done.' Above them Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton who has the legs and tail of a demon and holds a dagger flies off crying 'If it were done when 'tis done'."

185640839Washington 1856. 30 2 blank pp. Disbound else Very Good. <br /> <br /> This campaign document charges Republicans with stirring up "wild excitement" in Kansas. <br /> Democrats refuse "to undertake to determine why the God of nature made the African inferior to the white man; or why He permitted England to fasten the institution of slavery upon the colonies against their repeated and earnest remonstrances. Nor can we tell what Heaven in its wisdom may intend to work out of the relations of master and slave." <br /> This item supports Pierce Administration policies in the Kansas-Nebraska struggle and urges the decisive defeat of Republicans. <br /> FIRST EDITION.

185234357Washington 1852. Caption title as issued. 16pp. At head of title cuts of a farmer plowing with his team of horses; and an arm and hammer surrounded by a wreath. Disbound lightly toned or foxed else Very Good.<br /> <br /> These Washington D.C. Democrats "possessed of no political suffrage ourselves" warn in this scarce campaign pamphlet against the election of Winfield Scott a career military man and the Whigs' 1852 presidential candidate. Of our past presidents "The only professional soldier was General Taylor who for upwards of forty years had devoted himself exclusively to his profession of arms. If the evils resulting from his election under which we are now suffering had tongues to speak to you you would not soon repeat that error."<br /> The enviable qualities of Franklin Pierce the Democrats' nominee and a perfect example of "the northern man with southern principles" are trumpeted. Trashing the short presidency of General Taylor the pamphlet finds telling parallels in the career of General Scott. "All who know him know his weakness his egotism his aristocratic haughtiness." To boot "General Scott's opinions on the slavery question are hostile to the interests and safety of the South and to the patriotic opinions of the northern democracy. He fraternizes with such fanatics as Seward Hale Sumner Garrison Phillips and Gerritt sic Smith." <br /> OCLC 23149127 5 as of August 2021. Not in Miles. unknown

Printed in two columns separated by a rule. The Column on the left is headed "Baltimore Platform" for the National Union Republican Party; the right hand column is headed "Chicago Platform" for the Democrat-Copperhead Party. <br /> <br /> A Republican recitation of the Democrats' Platform and the Republicans' Platform in 1864 and an analysis of their 'Points of Difference.' "The Union platform looks to the ending of the war through the defeat and overthrow of the Rebellion while the Democratic contemplates peace through the virtual triumph of the traitors." The broadside exhorts "Freemen of the United States! read mark weigh resolve and VOTE! This is preeminently a contest regarding important principles and measures compared with which personal considerations are of small account." <br /> We conclude that this broadside was printed in New York as the legend "For sale by all News Agents.

"in American political contests the searching questions ought to be ever as to a candidate ’Is he honest is he capable Is He Faithful to the Constitution’ while an approach to any thing like the popery cry of the British Tory party or an appeal to a sect as such ought to be severely denounced as violative of the spirit of our institutions."

184439908Towanda PA 1844. Folio broadside 10-1/8" x 21." Printed in four columns each column separated by a rule. Light to moderate foxing light wear. Good. Signed in type at the bottom by thirty disillusioned local Democrats. <br /> <br /> Towanda is the county seat of Bradford County the residence of many of the signers including Judge Edward Herrick the first signer. This evidently unrecorded broadside illustrates the impending split in the Democratic Party along sectional lines over the issue of slavery. <br /> The signers are "steadfast" Democrats distraught that their Party has nominated James K. Polk of Tennessee as its 1844 presidential candidate. Polk known as the "Dark Horse" candidate "was thrust upon the party as the candidate by the intrigues and management of the NULLIFIERS! italics in original. The instructions and pledges of the delegates were disregarded and Mr. V. Buren and the Democratic party betrayed!"<br /> Clay "a statesman of the first order" has always sought to advance the national interest as opposed to parochial concerns. The signers defend his support of protective tariffs and the American System. They applaud his opposition to the annexation of Texas and his warnings that a war with Mexico would result in an expansion of the "odious" system of slavery. <br /> Not in Sabin or American Imprints.
