1856 · 10914 — Baltimore 1856. 16pp double columns disbound and lightly worn. Good. <br/><br/> "Old Line Whigs" descendants of the Henry Clay-Daniel Webster Party favoring a national government active in commercial affairs had nowhere obvious to go in 1856: their own Party had been destroyed by the Sectional Crisis; the new Republican Party was in their view a threat to the beloved Union; and the anti-Catholic bias of the emerging American Party was disgusting to many of them. <br/> This pamphlet urges them to vote for Buchanan: his Democratic Party is the only nationwide political organization remaining: disunion will result from its defeat. <br/>Sabin 59432n.
