Good.<br /> <br /> Fueled by jealousy of Virginia's near-monopoly on the presidency New Yorkers urge the nomination of De Witt Clinton in order to deny President Madison a second term. The dangers of jealousy among the States require that "Virginia herself as she values the confederation should abdicate a situation which she cannot retain without wounding the feelings of her associates and weakening their attachment for our union."<br /> The Committee objects to nominations by "congressional caucus" which favors Madison. The Constitution requires that the President be chosen "by the States composing the Union in their separate sovereign capacities each state voting in the ratio of its population."

A rare 1848 campaign pamphlet attacking Taylor and sketching the biography of Lewis Cass a man "of the highest order of talent" who has filled "almost every grade of office from the lowest to the highest and most responsible in the service of his country. From the first start in life he has been a Democrat. He received the first office he ever held from that great apostle of Democracy Thomas Jefferson in 1807." Taylor by contrast is a "spectacle" as a candidate-- lacking any political opinions and without even a political party to which he can claim loyalty. A General in the Mexican War he nevertheless allowed himself to be the candidate of the Whigs "who have sympathised with the public enemy who have traitorously given him 'aid and comfort' who have voted for the disgrace of their country in Congress by alleging that the war was unconstitutionally commenced."

On the burning issue of the Wilmot Proviso-- whether slavery ought to exist in the territories acquired from Mexico-- Taylor is a hypocrite: "At the North he is represented to be in favor of the Wilmot Proviso." But "at the South his advocates contend that he is opposed.because he is a southern man and a slaveholder and therefore identified with southern interests." <br /> A Louisiana slaveholder Taylor surprised everyone after his election when he supported immediate statehood for California with its anti-slavery Constitution. <br /> Wise & Cronin 44 Taylor. Not in Sabin Miles Eberstadt Decker LCP. unknown

It charges that during the brief time that Fremont "the Black Republican candidate for the Presidency" was a U.S. Senator his votes-- opposing the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia-- showed him "to be a most ultra pro-slavery man." The hypocritical Republicans "use the language of patriotism and of love for the Union.whilst their votes their acts and their organization lead only to a dissolution and all the evils that must follow." The Know-Nothings are just as bad: they "have waged a cruel and relentless war upon foreigners and members of the Roman Catholic church. These classes have been proscribed."

Good or so. <br /> <br /> Democrats are accused of rejecting reconstruction "except upon the condition of the triumph of those who have been in rebellion."
