Very Good.<br /> <br /> The broadside mocks the dissonance in the Democrats' 1864 presidential campaign.

At head of title: From the Boston post. Written in response to rumors and allegations from the Whig party that Franklin Pierce was religiously intolerant especially aimed at Irish Catholics. "in American political contests the searching questions ought to be ever as to a candidate ’Is he honest is he capable Is He Faithful to the Constitution’ while an approach to any thing like the popery cry of the British Tory party or an appeal to a sect as such ought to be severely denounced as violative of the spirit of our institutions."

184439908Towanda PA 1844. Folio broadside 10-1/8" x 21." Printed in four columns each column separated by a rule. Light to moderate foxing light wear. Good. Signed in type at the bottom by thirty disillusioned local Democrats. <br /> <br /> Towanda is the county seat of Bradford County the residence of many of the signers including Judge Edward Herrick the first signer. This evidently unrecorded broadside illustrates the impending split in the Democratic Party along sectional lines over the issue of slavery. <br /> The signers are "steadfast" Democrats distraught that their Party has nominated James K. Polk of Tennessee as its 1844 presidential candidate. Polk known as the "Dark Horse" candidate "was thrust upon the party as the candidate by the intrigues and management of the NULLIFIERS! italics in original. The instructions and pledges of the delegates were disregarded and Mr. V. Buren and the Democratic party betrayed!"<br /> Clay "a statesman of the first order" has always sought to advance the national interest as opposed to parochial concerns. The signers defend his support of protective tariffs and the American System. They applaud his opposition to the annexation of Texas and his warnings that a war with Mexico would result in an expansion of the "odious" system of slavery. <br /> Not in Sabin or American Imprints.

Lightly browned slightly creased one or two tiny nicks to edges but generally fairly bright. The printer Alexander Dunbar doesn't appear in the SBTI but is possibly the son of the Alexander Dunbar fl. 1763 mentioned as a 'running stationer' ie. street hawker of books and pamphlets in the SBTI.

1920List2706Chicago or New York 1920. 6 x 9 inches single sided. Toning several small stains small fold at top left corner; near fine. An anonymous handbill decrying lynching in the United States and advertising the differences in anti-lynching policy between the Republican and Democratic parties. The header states that “Everyone agrees that lynching is the chief crime against the colored man in the United States†and the remainder illustrates the great disagreement over just what to do about it. The left column quotes the Republican platform and its then-nominees Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge who would shortly be elected to office on their support for federal anti-lynching legislation. The right column points out that the Democratic platform and its nominees James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt all “said: NOTHING!†on this issue. Lynching would not be made a federal hate crime until 2022 nearly 100 years later. As of writing we find no other copies of this handbill in OCLC. unknown
20018Printed for the Authoress" University of Oxford. 1852. . A lively Oxford spoof which can be dated precisely from the references to Marsham Gladstone and the coming General Election. In the General Election of July 1852 the Peelite Gladstone defeated the Conservative Marsham who had been put forward by 'the heads Protestants and protectionists'. A reference to German education is a nod towards the first Oxford University Commission whose report published in 1852 recommended that a switch to a more Germanic educational system. For the background see Brock and Curthoys 'History of the University of Oxford' vol. 6 1997. Printed in black on one side of a 31 x 19 cm. piece of wove paper.

The Abolition of Dons: A single Trial will convince the most incredulous. The Metaphysical Syphonia Or invisible Wrapper warranted Reason proof and weighs nothing. Apply to the Marines. Il n'y a pas de prix fixe.' A number of quips follow including a dig at 'the Proctors' a list of five 'Candidates for vacant Professorships' the last: 'Practical Electioneering . All the Fellows of Ln.' a fake advertisement for a new book titled 'The Freshman's Vade-Mecum'. The next section refers to the recommendation of the Oxford University Commission that the University follow the German mode of education: 'A Professor Not unequal as he trusts to the educational requirements of the 19th Century has a vacancy for One Pupil. He engages that in six months his fond parents shall not know him from a GERMAN STUDENT. N.B. Duelling extra.' Next there is another spoof advertisement for a book this one titled 'Weathercockiana or the Gladstone of the Future.' Then there comes: 'PRIZE ESSAY Open to all Masters of Arts who have not Graduated in Honours; and to be awarded when Dr. Marsham is returned for the University “On the best means of reconciling the Duties of a Head of a House with those of a Member of Parliament.â€' A couple more joke announcements end the spoof.

For The Period From January 1 1927 To December 31 1927.â€<br> <br> From the strife-ridden year of 1928 in Satu Mare see below a budget report including tables and lists for the Chevra Sa’ar HaTorah Ashkenazi with heartfelt call to action by the President Yosef Chaim Mayer asking the community to support its efforts to raise funds to build a new Beit HaMidrash. The plea is also undersigned by Eli Mandelbaum and by the two gabbais David Spiegel and Yona Weiss. <br> <br> A total of 11 names of leaders of the society are named. <br> <br> Society members are asked for their support in the upcoming election; presumably this is the controversial election of a new chief rabbi which famously split the community and resulted in the appointment of Hasidic Joel Teitelbaum and the creation of the Satmar Dynasty under him. <br> <br> In 1715 when Sathmar became a royal town the Jews were expelled but they began to resettle in the 1820s."In 1841 several Jews obtained the permission to settle permanently in Sathmar; the first Jewish community was formally established in 1849 and in 1857 a synagogue was built. After a great number of traditional Ashkenazic Jews had settled in the town the Jewish community split in 1898 when a supporter of the Hasidic movement was elected chief rabbi into an Orthodox and a Status Quo community led by a Zionist rabbi which erected a synagogue in 1904.<br> <br> In the 1920s there were several Zionist organizations in Satu Mare and the yeshiva one of the largest in the region was attended by 400 students. In 1930 the city had five large synagogues and about 20 shtiebels. In 1928 a conflict within the Orthodox community broke out over the election of a new chief rabbi lasting six years and ending in 1934 with the appointment of the Hasidic rabbi Joel Teitelbaum a traditionalist and anti-Zionist who later re-founded the Satmar Hasidic dynasty in Williamsburg New York. Another Hasidic rabbi Aharon Roth the founder of the Shomrei Emunim and Toldot Aharon communities in Jerusalem was also active in Satu Mare†Wikipedia.<br> <br> We could not locate another copy of this publication anywhere not in OCLC not in KVK not in the Hungarian National Library not in the Romanian National Library and not with a google search.

40447Washington DC: J. & G.S. Gideon n.y. Paperback. 8vo. Self-cover. 8pp. Very good. Lightly age toned; binding traces at margin; contemporary "39" in brown ink at upper right corner of first page. An attractive and clean-edged first edition of this attack on the Democratic eighth U.S. president undated but certainly published in 1848. After losing his bid for reelection to Whig candidate William Henry Harrison in 1840 Van Buren's opposition to Texas annexation in 1844 lost him the vote of pro-slavery Democrats and he failed to get the nomination and in 1848 the Free Soil Party gave him the nomination. Though his views had become more anti-slavery over the years this no-holds-barred criticism calls him "the great nucleus of the South and the greatest enemy of the free institutions of the North" -- among many less tactful labels. Quite a few of his letters are excerpted to show his support of slavery. This pro-Whig piece then warns supporters against being tempted to support Van Buren and stresses the advantages of Zachary Taylor "the honest man the true patriot the frank intelligent humane soldier and the man of the People" over Democratic candidate Lewis Cass "aggressive wars the resistance of the popular will the constant exercise of the veto the one man power the extension of slavery". Too secondary to warrant inclusion in Wise and Cronin. Not in Sabin. J. & G.S. Gideon paperback
