184819495np 1848. 16pp caption title as issued. Tanned several leaves trimmed closely at the fore-edge with slight loss. Good. 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."

184820489Washington 1848. 8pp printed in double columns caption title as issued. Disbound else Very Good. <br /> <br /> A scarce 1848 campaign pamphlet attacking Whig presidential candidate Zachary Taylor who "has no political principles and is perfectly ignorant upon political matters." On the burning issue of the Wilmot Proviso-- whether slavery ought to exist in the territories acquired from Mexico-- Taylor is a hypocrite: "At the North he is represented to be in favor of the Wilmot Proviso." But "at the South his advocates contend that he is opposed.because he is a southern man and a slaveholder and therefore identified with southern interests." <br /> A Louisiana slaveholder Taylor surprised everyone after his election when he supported immediate statehood for California with its anti-slavery Constitution. <br /> Wise & Cronin 44 Taylor.

185618521Indianapolis 1856. 16pp disbound. Scattered foxing. Good. <br /> <br /> A Democratic presidential campaign pamphlet. It charges that during the brief time that Fremont "the Black Republican candidate for the Presidency" was a U.S. Senator his votes-- opposing the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia-- showed him "to be a most ultra pro-slavery man." The hypocritical Republicans "use the language of patriotism and of love for the Union.whilst their votes their acts and their organization lead only to a dissolution and all the evils that must follow." The Know-Nothings are just as bad: they "have waged a cruel and relentless war upon foreigners and members of the Roman Catholic church. These classes have been proscribed."

Running as a Liberal Republican in 1872 against Grant Administration corruption and incompetence Greeley unfortunately had a detailed public record demonstrating a mercurial inconsistency on public issues. <br /> As this pamphlet says "Sudden changes of opinion always excite distrust unless they are accompanied by causes so adequate and apparent that the metamorphosis is at once explained."

He is "an old Federalist who denies his ancestry." <br /> The pamphlet attacks his 'Nicholson Letter' in which for the first time the concept of Popular Sovereignty-- permitting Territorial inhabitants rather than Congress to determine whether slavery should exist there-- was articulated. <br /> Sabin 11350.

1880197421880. Caption title as issued. 8pp with light wear and old folds. 'No. 86.' printed at top of first page. Good. A Republican campaign pamphlet arguing that the triumph of the 'Solid South' would impoverish the country. Southerners have "the conceit of political sagacity. It is their boast that this country will never be properly governed until Southern statesmanship shall again bear sway." But when the numbers are crunched the South has lagged behind the North in every index of economic prosperity. The Solid South's share of the "commercial industrial financial and educational interests of the country" is disproportionately small. Its pretensions to "dictate the course of the National Government" is absurd. OCLC locates 12 under two accession numbers. unknown

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.
