184834739Newport 1848. 24pp. Disbound printed in two columns per page. Light wear faint blindstamp on final leaf. Good<br/><br/> On "the wisdom and good policy" of the Whigs' 1848 nomination of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore for the presidency. The pamphlet soothes the wounds of the failed candidates and their supporters: Winfield Scott the "noble old chief who had just carried the eagles of our Republic in triumph over the mountains of Mexico;" Henry Clay "the gallant chivalrous and accomplished statesman of the West;" Webster "the strong towering giant defender of the constitution of the North." <br/> "Circumstances demanded the nomination of another patriotic whig as the standard bearer of our party." Taylor is a man of "TRUTH JUSTICE INTEGRITY FIDELITY and a NOBLE GENEROSITY." In this complicated election the Whigs had to contend not only with the Democrats and their nominee Lewis Cass but also with former President Martin Van Buren and his Free Soil Party. Seeking to hold the votes of anti-slavery Whigs this pamphlet derides Van Buren's last-minute conversion: his record shows a complete subservience to the Slave Power. <br/>Sabin 70526.

184820489Washington 1848. 8pp printed in double columns caption title as issued. Disbound else Very Good. <br/><br/> A scarce 1848 campaign pamphlet attacking Whig presidential candidate Zachary Taylor who "has no political principles and is perfectly ignorant upon political matters." 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.

185226314Boston: Beals Greene & Co. 1852. Disbound 24pp printed in double columns. Light wear Very Good. <br/><br/> The 1852 presidential campaign pitting the Democrat Pierce against the Whig Scott featured an unseemly competition for the votes of Irish Catholic immigrants. Whigs who were at a disadvantage in this contest charged Pierce with being an anti-Catholic bigot. "The object of the Scott politicians in making the charge of intolerance at this time against General Pierce is to obtain the Catholic vote. It is an appeal to a SECT IN RELIGION to get its members to vote a certain way in POLITICS." <br/> This pamphlet rebuts the charge demonstrating that Pierce supported extending equal rights to Catholics in New Hampshire via constitutional amendment. <br/>Not in Sabin Miles Eberstadt Decker.

185218550np. 1852. Disbound with some loosening 8pp. Printed in double columns. Caption title as issued. Light tan and wear Good. <br/><br/> An attempt to tar General Winfield Scott the Whigs' 1852 presidential candidate with abolitionism; and to promote Franklin Pierce who by contrast is "devoted to the constitution and defended the rights guarantied by that sacred instrument." <br/> The Whigs have pandered to the extreme abolitionists the Liberty Party crew and seek to "absorb the friends and followers of James G. Birney and Wendall sic Phillips into the bosom of the whig party which is now under the leadership of Wm. H. Seward who will be the controlling spirit of the government should General Scott be elected." Birney Phillips and Seward were of course anathema to southerners and indeed to many northern Whigs and Democrats who did not wish the slavery issue to threaten the maintenance of the Union. <br/>FIRST EDITION.

185635989Baltimore: Printed at the Democratic Standard office 1856. 8pp. Caption title as issued. Disbound. Good.<br/><br/> In this election year the Democrat Barksdale examines the competition and finds it wanting. The Know Nothing American Party "is an oath-bound organization. It fetters the limbs seals the lips and ties the tongue of its initiates" all in the service of discriminating against immigrants "many of them among our most industrious and enterprising citizens." As for the "Black Republican" party "it sails under a black piratical flag." Pugh similarly warns against the Republican threat to the maintenance of the Union.<br/>OCLC records seven locations under two accession numbers as of June 2019 Printed at the Democratic Standard office unknown books

This is a high-pitched attack on the alleged profligacy of the Adams administration and a call for the election of Andrew Jackson. <br/> "A suffering people cry for reform" the author says. "Did one of you ever dream that the funds of this Government were expended in the purchase of BILLIARD TABLES BILLIARD BALLS CHESS BOARDS AND CHESS MEN and other toys to gratify the gambling propensities of the cabinet" A Jackson presidency will bring back "the days of good old President Jefferson." <br/>FIRST EDITION.

184427020Washington: J. Heart Printer 1844. 4pp folded untrimmed. Lightly worn and dusted else Very Good. <br/><br/> A pro-Polk campaign document centering on the candidates' alleged differences over the Oregon Territory. "Whilst James K. Polk is pledged to retain the whole of this great territory Henry Clay is also pledged to surrender nearly one-half of it to England." The issue in the campaign is simple: "Clay and England on the one side Polk and America on the other. Shall the stars and stripes of the Union or the red cross of St. George wave forever over the Territory of Oregon Shall a republic or a monarchy be established within its limits." Eberstadt unaccountably suggesting an 1845 publication date calls this "a flaming circular.claiming the whole of the territory and apparently everything else from the Amazon River northward to the pole." <br/>110 Eberstadt 225.

18489627np 1848. 16pp disbound and stitched minor scattered spotting. Very Good. <br/><br/> NUC attributes authorship to Adams identified here only as "a Whig of the Free States." He is appalled at his Party's impending nomination of Zachary Taylor for the presidency. Taylor a Louisiana slaveholder had never voted or participated in civil affairs. His military career most recently in the Mexican War which northern Whigs had generally opposed as an unconstitutional land-grab for slavery was his only public activity. <br/> "He is a Military Chieftain-- and he is a Slave owner and in favor of the Extension of Slavery over new territories." Webster deserves the nomination: "Let there be no wavering none of the contemptible expediency doctrine which leads men to declare in one breath that Mr. Webster is their first choice and to say the next moment that they are ready to vote for General Taylor." <br/>FIRST EDITION.

185634450Washington: Published by the Granite State Club of Washington 1856. 24pp. Caption title as issued. Stitched untrimmed curled or lightly chipped at blank extremities. Printed in two columns per page. Very Good.<br/><br/> Opposing the Republican Party and John C. Fremont's bid for the presidency this pamphlet charges that "Black Republican members of Congress" sought "to drive out pro-slavery settlers from Kansas which has resulted in the recent scenes of violence and bloodshed there." Proof of the charge is found in the published proceedings of the Emigrant Aid Society as well as other documents. The Republicans' purpose "of getting up a war in Kansas" is "to help elect Fremont. For the greater the disturbance in Kansas the more clear would be the apparent 'villainy' of repealing the Missouri compromise."<br/> Further proof is found in the proceedings "of the Black Republican Abolition Convention that nominated Fremont." The Conspiracy -- including participation by the "Coal-Black Republicans"-- is examined in all its details. <br/>Not in Sabin or LCP although there are a number of institutional locations.

Ingersoll on front wrapper probably the Connecticut politician and lawyer who was Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives at the time of this publication and later an anti-Jackson Congressman. Except as noted Very Good. <br/><br/> An interesting scarce analysis of the 1824 election with an eye on the impact of the electoral college written during the campaign. This was the most complicated presidential election in our history there being four strong candidates. Jackson is a man "of temper so violent and uncontrolable and of conduct so arbitrary" that he "would scarcely be restrained by the inconvenient limits of the constitution and laws." Adams and Crawford the beneficiaries of an unfortunate political tradition of elevating Cabinet officers to the Presidency are no match for Clay whose integrity and spirit of unity and compromise render him acceptable to all sections. <br/>Wise & Cronin 138.

Toned light wear Good.<br/><br/> A rare examination of shifting political coalitions preceding the 1828 presidential election stimulated by the bill pending in the House of Representatives to increase tariffs on woolens. It's a terrible bill: "The provisions of this bill are such in the opinion of the most intelligent farmers and manufacturers that no rational man can be expected to vote for it." The author warns of a coalition of "Southern members who are against all protection whatever and the Jackson members from Pennsylvania Kentucky and New-York who although they profess to be in favor of protecting the farmers and manufacturers yet vote with their Southern Jackson friends." <br/> The author's dire prediction: "A party is fast forming; of which General JACKSON is to be the HEAD which is to be wholly and systematically opposed to the entire system of protection."<br/>AI 35529 1- DLC.
