The mid-term elections of 1884 were a disaster for the Democrats led by Grover Cleveland.

His successor Millard Fillmore supported the Compromise of 1850 and enforcement of its stronger Fugitive Slave Law which made him unpopular in the North. At the Whig National Convention in Baltimore the delegates took 53 ballots to choose General Winfield Scott of New Jersey as their presidential candidate.At the Democratic convention also in Baltimore it took 48 ballots to select dark-horse choice Senator Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire as their presidential candidate.The Free Soil Party which opposed the extension of slavery chose Senator John P. Hale of New Hampshire as their presidential candidate. After the Compromise of 1850 many Barnburner Democrats and Conscience Whigs returned to their parties at the expense of the Free Soil Party.With no major policy differences between the Democrats and Whigs the election became a contest of personalities between Scott the anti-slavery war hero of the Mexican War and the pro-slavery Pierce who though eighteen years younger had also served in the war.In the election on November 2 1852 Pierce won 50.8 percent of the popular vote carrying 27 states with 254 electoral votes. Scott's 43.9 percent carried only 4 states with 42 electoral votes. Hale attracted 4.9 percent of the popular vote taking no electoral votes.The Commonwealth 1851-1853 was a newspaper published in Boston daily with occasional supplements under the motto "Circulate the documents." In 1852 it became the official newspaper of the Free Soil Party in Massachusetts.Condition: Very good overall. Boston Commonwealth

185624482"What a Combination! Seward Greeley Bennet Watson Webb H. Ward Beecher &c. There can be no doubt that this goodly company will speedily be increased by the addition of Fred. Douglass and his black republicans… The only candidate to arrest this tide of demoralization and sectionalism is James Buchanan."This pro-Buchanan election of 1856 pamphlet attacks the first Republican presidential candidate John C. Frémont. Quoting from the speeches and writings of William Lloyd Garrison Horace Greeley Wendell Phillips Salmon P. Chase Henry Ward Beecher William H. Seward Joshua R. Giddings this pamphlet ignores distinctions between abolitionists racial egalitarians more limited opponents just of the expansion of slavery into the territories or those who fought the kidnapping of free African Americans under the Fugitive Slave Law. It paints all with the same broad brush as "Black Republican" extreme abolitionists who were willing to destroy the Union rather than remain in it with slaveholders. ELECTION OF 1856.Printed Document. The Fearful Issue to Be Decided in November Next! Shall the Constitution and the Union Stand or Fall Fremont The Sectional Candidate of the Advocates of Dissolution! Buchanan The Candidate of Those Who Advocate One Country! One Union! One Constitution! and One Destiny! 1856. 24 pp. 5 x 8½ in. Excerpts:Before Title: "Read and hand to your Neighbor.""We propose showing by indubitable testimony that John C. Fremont's leading friends are now the open enemies of the Federal Constitution… the enemies of one-half of the States of the Union; the enemies of the laws of Congress; and the enemies to equality of the States." 3"In a speech delivered at the New England Anti-Slavery Convention on the 29th of May 1856 by Wm. Lloyd Garrison we have a flood of light shed on the relation between abolitionism and republicanism which divests the subject of all doubt or uncertainty." 4"William H. Seward was known at the Abolition Convention at Philadelphia… as one of Fremont's warmest supporters. Indeed it is well known that to Chase Seward and Greeley Fremont is mainly indebted for his nomination: they defeated McLean." 7"Nathaniel P. Banks Abolitionist and Disunionist was elected Speaker of the House by a solid sectional vote: he did not get one vote from the South.No man has exhibited such ferocious hostility to the fugitive slave law to the compromise measures and to the Federal Constitution. His speeches full of treason and of war would fill a volume." 8 and 9"Every leading committee has an Abolition Disunionist for chairman and a Disunion majority! There some thirty-five committees in the House… Black Republicans monopolized all the great committees. Thus was the work of Disunion formally begun in the Congress of the United States! This monstrous act unprecedented in all our history was the deliberate work of the men who now surround Fremont." 10"The reverend agitator Ward Beecher is out for Fremont in the last number of his 'Independent.' He is probably next to Garrison and Phillips the most profligate calumniator of the Constitution and the Union." 19"What a Combination! Seward Greeley Bennet Watson Webb H. Ward Beecher &c. There can be no doubt that this goodly company will speedily be increased by the addition of Fred. Douglass and his black republicans. Every Black Republican in Congress from New York is now the earnest advocate of Fremont." 20"We aver that there is not an Abolitionist or Disunionist in Pennsylvania who is not an active and open friend of John C. Fremont for the Presidency. David Wilmot and William F. Johnston lead the motley crew both recreants from the Democratic party because the Democratic party respected the Constitution of the United States and would not desert its injunctions… The only candidate to arrest this tide of demoralization and sectionalism is James Buchanan. It is against him and against the Constitution that this combination has been formed." 23"in the South every vote thrown for Mr. Fillmore is more or less an aid to John C. Fremont to the extent that it may weaken James Buchanan." 24"We would speak of Mr. Fillmore with entire respect. His speech at Albany was patriotic and forcible but it cannot be denied that out of New York in the North all those who pretend to support him will be called upon in the State elections to unite against the Democratic party with the friends of Fremont otherwise known as the Black Republicans." 24Historical BackgroundJames Buchanan won with 1.8 million votes and 174 electoral votes from 19 states. Fremont received 1.3 million votes winning 11 northern states with 114 electoral votes. American Party "Know Nothing" candidate and former President Millard Fillmore received 873000 votes winning Maryland's 8 electoral votes. Frémont received no votes at all in 10 of the 14 slave states and fewer than 1200 votes total in the other 4 slave states.John C. Frémont 1813-1890 "the Pathfinder" was a legendary explorer who achieved military victories in California during the Mexican War. He entered politics as California's first senator and then became the first Republican presidential candidate in 1856. During the Civil War Lincoln removed Frémont from command in Missouri after he unilaterally declared martial law and threatened to confiscate all property including slaves of Southern sympathizers. Lincoln gave Frémont command of an army in western Virginia where he was defeated by Stonewall Jackson in the Battle of Cross Keys. After Frémont refused to serve under General John Pope Lincoln never again gave him a field command contributing to a personal grudge. In 1864 Frémont abandoned his third-party campaign for the presidency in September after Lincoln agreed to remove U.S. Postmaster General Montgomery Blair from office.ConditionDisbound minor pin holes very good.

[Election of 1864]: [New Jersey]: Congar, Horace NBiblio.com

Circular from H.N. Congar. To the Union Citizens of Newark New Jersey: From My Transient Home in the Far East I Send Greeting to the Union Men of My Native City.caption title and beginning of text

18643721N.p. but most likely Newark N.J. 1864. Good plus. Letterpress broadside printed in two columns 16.5 x 10 inches. Old folds small chip to top outer margin two tiny holes affecting just a few letters. A very rare Unionist broadside supporting the re-election of Abraham Lincoln in the critical presidential contest of 1864. The present broadside was authored in early June 1864 by New Jersey Republican Party stalwart Horace N. Congar an editor diplomat and politician who was at that time serving as U.S. consul to Hong Kong. In this rather stirring broadside which Congar writes from his position in Hong Kong he lauds "the thousands of earnest faithful men who are giving freely of their blood and treasure to the suppression of this infamous rebellion" and "the noble daring the undaunted courage and the determined valour of our brave soldiers of Freedom" and urges that "in November New Jersey will stand in the unbroken rank of States giving their verdict for the Party of Union." He also spends considerable space discussing the clear role of "the social moral and political evil" of slavery as the precipitating event of the Civil War. Congar writes that "the evil it has wrought was as natural as the poisoned breath of the Upas tree." Stated clearly Congar writes "I heartily rejoice at the destruction of slavery" and looks forward to the time when "I shall tread my native land with a newer life if within its boundless domain there shall not be heard the clanking chain or the cry of the suffering and the oppressed." "Horace Newton Congar 1817-1893 was a radical republican politician during the midnineteenth century and served on both the state and national levels. Mr. Congar had a great love for his party and hope for its success which is reflected in his writing . Horace Newton Congar was born in Newark on July 31 1817. He married Isabell Reeves and had two children; a daughter Ella and a son Horace Junior. Horace Congar taught school for a while and he studied law in his leisure time. He was admitted to the New Jersey State Bar in 1847 and later Cornelius Boice of Plainfield and Lewis Grove of Newark were his law partners. Congar was a friend of the abolitionist cause and he was one of the founders of the antislavery Free Soil Party in New Jersey. The party slogan ‘Free Soil Free Speech Free Labor and Free Men’ basically described the party platform. Congar later became a delegate from New Jersey to the Republican National Convention in 1848 which was held in Buffalo. He supported the nomination of Van Buren for president and Adams for vice-president" - New Jersey Historical Society.
