Good. <br /> <br /> Ohio's Whig State Central Committee seeks to galvanize its lethargic troops for the upcoming presidential election.

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
182434265New York: William Grattan 1824. 23 1 blank pp. Disbound and loosening. Signature of R.J. 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.

182834348Washington 1828. 4pp. Caption title as issued. Spine reinforced. Signed in type at the end 'MANY.' Dated in type 'Washington March 24 1828.' 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.
