Praising the incumbent John Quincy Adams the Address proclaims "It is sufficient to say of him that talents of the highest order are joined to uncommon attainments. We would ask you to turn from the rantings of demagogues the bold fictions of an irresponsible press. Is not our country moving on peacefully and prosperously in the great march of improvement" <br/> Adams's opponent General Jackson is unsuited for the presidency: "His character has been formed as a military chieftain.

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.

Scattered foxing else Very Good.<br/><br/> The author is an Adams man-- evidently Abner Lacock a prominent Pennsylvania politician who signs on page 12 in type-- in the upcoming presidential contest particularly because Adams's "pure and spotless private character" contrasts so sharply with that of his opponent Andrew Jackson whose "entire unfitness" for civil office is evident. His civic activities have been "fruitless of honor." The litany of his infamous duels his abuses of power his uncontrollable anger and temper his well-known violations of civilized norms in Florida and New Orleans is chronicled here. <br/> One John Sullivan of Baltimore attests that General Jackson threatened A.

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.

A rare 1848 campaign pamphlet attacking Taylor and sketching the biography of Lewis Cass a man "of the highest order of talent" who has filled "almost every grade of office from the lowest to the highest and most responsible in the service of his country. From the first start in life he has been a Democrat. He received the first office he ever held from that great apostle of Democracy Thomas Jefferson in 1807." Taylor by contrast is a "spectacle" as a candidate-- lacking any political opinions and without even a political party to which he can claim loyalty. A General in the Mexican War he nevertheless allowed himself to be the candidate of the Whigs "who have sympathised with the public enemy who have traitorously given him 'aid and comfort' who have voted for the disgrace of their country in Congress by alleging that the war was unconstitutionally commenced."
