184838209Boston: Eastburn's Press 1848. 4 pp. Folded bifolium. Very Good. <br /> <br /> A scarce Whig 1848 campaign pamphlet prints Taylor's letters assuring wary northerners that this Louisiana planter and slaveowner could be trusted with the Nation's destiny. Taylor says he is "not engaged to lay violent hands indiscriminately upon public officers good or bad who may differ in opinion with me. I am not expected to force Congress by the coercion of the veto to pass laws to suit me or pass none. I would not be a partisan President." He says "I am a Whig but not an ultra Whig." <br /> Not in Sabin Eberstadt Decker Miles. OCLC records four locations under several accession numbers as of April 2022. Eastburn's Press unknown

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.

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.

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.

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.
