1863WRCAM53688Winchester 1863. Broadside 5 x 3 3/4 inches. Toned minor soiling and wrinkling. Very good. An exceedingly rare Confederate Tennessee state election ticket from 1863 nominating Robert L. Caruthers for governor and eleven others as state senators. In 1863 state elections were due in Tennessee. The state was fractured by war and secession and both Unionists and Confederates expressed the desire to hold elections for state government. Confederate supporters held a convention in Winchester and nominated a governor the State Legislature and members for the Confederate Congress. It was a bit of a fool's errand. <br> <br> Isham G. Harris who still considered himself the governor of Tennessee issued a proclamation calling for the election to be held on the first Thursday in August. Just who voted and how many or how few will probably never be known. According to historians the State Archives in Nashville are scant and inconclusive; returns from only thirty-two counties are found some of which reported the vote of only one civil district. Not a single report was from West Tennessee counties and only eight Middle Tennessee counties made returns. Robert L. Caruthers was elected governor on the face of returns but he was never inaugurated and thus never served a day as governor of Tennessee. No Confederate State Legislature ever convened either. The Confederate Congressmen were the only lucky ones. Those who were elected in 1863 took their seats in Richmond however briefly. <br> <br> George Webb notes this copy in his NOT IN ALLEN bibliography in 2013. Not in Parrish & Willingham. The only other copy or shall we say copies resides at the Library of Virginia in an uncut sheet of six tickets. This will likely be the only copy ever available in the marketplace.

184425849Charleston 1844. 40 pp. Bound in modern quarter red morocco and marbled paper over boards. Minor scattered foxing Very Good plus.<br/><br/> A rare Southern Nationalist tract opposing the election of Henry Clay in 1844 warning of the imminent threat to the South's cherished institution of slavery supporting the Texas annexation and denouncing the North's imposition of protective tariffs. <br/> It begins with Langdon Cheves's Letter opposing separate State secession by South Carolina. Though Northern aggressions-- including the recent rejection of the Treaty to Annex Texas-- and the Tariff are an "insufferable and insulting oppression.I do not think one State ought to resist alone." He urges grass-roots organization to ready the South for mass secession. For this stance Cheves was harshly criticized by Carolinians who urged a go-it-alone policy. His Letter is followed by an early Daniel Webster speech embracing the South's opposition to protective tariffs and support of free trade. John Quincy Adams's Letter illustrates northern "fanaticism" on the slavery issue; Andrew Jackson's Letter of August 1844 supports the annexation of Texas; and James Towles's tract 'The South in Danger' warns against the election of Henry Clay who opposes annexation. <br/>Howes S790 AI 44-5791 and Streeter 1535 each recording a variant issue only. unknown books

The mid-term elections of 1884 were a disaster for the Democrats led by Grover Cleveland. Republicans and Populists in large part due to the efforts of Joseph Weeks Babcock 1850-1909 a Republican Congressman from Wisconsin who helped organize the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee in 1893 and was a major force in routing the Democrats in the 1894 House elections which cost the Democrats 113 of their 218 seats.

1828WRCAM56438N.p. 1828. Broadside 20 3/4 x 14 inches. Old folds small closed tears along most folds some separation at center fold. Residue and mild staining from previous tape repairs one older tape repair still in place. Minor edge wear and a few small chips even tanning. About very good. One version of the infamous "Coffin Broadsides" attacking Andrew Jackson in the presidential campaign of 1828. There was considerable mud-slinging between the Jackson and Adams camps during that campaign which eventually saw the defeat of incumbent John Quincy Adams and the election of Andrew Jackson. Across the top of the present broadside are six woodcut coffins bearing the names of six militiamen shot for mutiny on Jackson's orders during the War of 1812; an account of their wrongful execution follows. Below that there are more accounts of Jackson's evil and murderous deeds including twelve regular soldiers shot for desertion despite their "not guilty" pleas complete with twelve more coffin woodcuts; Jackson assaulting another man Samuel Jackson in the streets of Nashville and running him through with a sword while Samuel bent over to pick up a rock for defense with a woodcut of a demonic Jackson committing the murderous act; the tale of another soldier unfairly executed another woodcut coffin; and a brief account of some Indian prisoners executed on Jackson's orders four more coffins. The bottom portion includes a testimonial by Thomas Hart Benton who himself had fought a duel with Jackson. <br> <br> The "Coffin Handbill" was printed and reprinted in several sizes and formats. Sabin quotes John Spencer Bassett in his LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON who notes that the "execution of mutinous militiamen in the campaigns of 1813 and 1814 was recalled to show Jackson's ferocious temper; and when a Philadelphia editor published a hand-bill showing a coffin with the victims standing by its side the idea was caught up eagerly and repeated in all parts of the country."

1828WRCAM56513N.p. 1828. Broadsheet 19 x 9 inches text printed in two columns on both sides. Old folds some chips to edges minor loss to upper left corner and closed tear to bottom edge no text affected. Two small holes affecting just one word a few areas of soiling light foxing even tanning. Manuscript annotations to verso. About very good. A rare broadside recounting Andrew Jackson's infamous execution of Private John Woods published in 1828 by Jackson's opponents during the 1828 election. There was considerable mud-slinging between the Jackson and Adams camps during that campaign which eventually saw the defeat of incumbent John Quincy Adams and the election of Andrew Jackson. This dense broadside recounts the events of March 1814 at Fort Strother during the Creek Campaign when Jackson charged John Woods an eighteen year-old militiaman with disobedience disrespect and mutiny. According to the text the trial itself only occurred because Jackson's soldiers would not shoot Woods' at the moment of the offense despite Jackson's cries to "Shoot the damned rascal!.blow ten balls through the damned rascal!" The court martial followed soon after; Woods was found guilty and sentenced to die. Some testimonies here state that Jackson offered to spare Woods' life if he would enlist in the regular army but Woods refused; others disagree. He was executed thirty-six hours later. <br> <br> Then follows the sworn testimony of several witnesses: Thomas Couch Robert Ferguson Samuel Hanna George A. Brock Isaac Roberts James Harris William Stewart Joseph Alexander Isaac Anderson Abm. Whitney and John Williams all fellow-soldiers of Woods who witnessed or had personal knowledge of the facts in the case. Their accounts of Woods' supposed mutiny substantially downplay the severity of Woods' disobedience suggesting that it was likely a misunderstanding; they also emphasize the draconian nature of the punishment and make several mentions of Woods' aging and infirm parents. Williams' account closes: "It is not true that Woods on the ground of Execution with oaths and defiance refused to promise obedience. On the contrary he wept loud and bitterly." All of the testimonies are datelined in Tennessee in the first few months of 1828. The nature of the printing lends itself to the possibility of a Tennessee press. <br> <br> Though not as famous as the "Coffin Handbills" that appeared at the same time listing Woods' execution among many other crimes by Jackson this was definitely addressed to the same audiences. John Spencer Bassett in his LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON notes that the "execution of mutinous militiamen in the campaigns of 1813 and 1814 was recalled to show Jackson's ferocious temper; and when a Philadelphia editor published a hand-bill showing a coffin with the victims standing by its side the idea was caught up eagerly and repeated in all parts of the country." <br> <br> Not in Wise & Cronin and we could find no listing for this broadside in OCLC or in American Imprints. It has only appeared at auction twice and then not since 1925 when Anderson Galleries offered a copy as part of the sale of the Henry De Puy collection which was strong in Andrew Jackson material. The only copy in the trade seems to be one offered by the Eberstadts in 1939. unknown books
