A NORTHERN NO! ADDRESSED TO THE DELEGATES FROM THE FREE STATES TO THE WHIG NATIONAL CONVENTION. AT PHILADELPHIA 1848

18489627np 1848. 16pp disbound and stitched minor scattered spotting. Very Good. NUC attributes authorship to Adams identified here only as "a Whig of the Free States." He is appalled at his Party's impending nomination of Zachary Taylor for the presidency. Taylor a Louisiana slaveholder had never voted or participated in civil affairs. His military career most recently in the Mexican War which northern Whigs had generally opposed as an unconstitutional land-grab for slavery was his only public activity. "He is a Military Chieftain-- and he is a Slave owner and in favor of the Extension of Slavery over new territories." Webster deserves the nomination: "Let there be no wavering none of the contemptible expediency doctrine which leads men to declare in one breath that Mr. Webster is their first choice and to say the next moment that they are ready to vote for General Taylor."

ADDRESS OF THE WHIG STATE CONVENTION TO THE PEOPLE OF RHODE-ISLAND

184834739Newport 1848. 24pp. Disbound printed in two columns per page. Light wear faint blindstamp on final leaf. Good On "the wisdom and good policy" of the Whigs' 1848 nomination of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore for the presidency. The pamphlet soothes the wounds of the failed candidates and their supporters: Winfield Scott the "noble old chief who had just carried the eagles of our Republic in triumph over the mountains of Mexico;" Henry Clay "the gallant chivalrous and accomplished statesman of the West;" Webster "the strong towering giant defender of the constitution of the North." "Circumstances demanded the nomination of another patriotic whig as the standard bearer of our party." Taylor is a man of "TRUTH JUSTICE INTEGRITY FIDELITY and a NOBLE GENEROSITY." In this complicated election the Whigs had to contend not only with the Democrats and their nominee Lewis Cass but also with former President Martin Van Buren and his Free Soil Party. Seeking to hold the votes of anti-slavery Whigs this pamphlet derides Van Buren's last-minute conversion: his record shows a complete subservience to the Slave Power. Sabin 70526.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1936ABAA

Artwork for FDRâ€™s 1936 Reelection Campaign proposed by Artist Franz Felix

193624942This sheet contains five rough sketches of graphics calling on the workers and voters of America to support Franklin D. Roosevelt's reelection in 1936. They did in record numbers. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1936.Typed Document Signed. Artwork by Franz Felix and Ideas and Copy by Richard Barron "Set of Rough Sketches Containing Some Suggested Promotion Ideas to be Used in the 1936 Democratic Presidential Campaign" July 2 1936. 1 p. 12 x 10Â½ in. Excerpts:"1. Sounding the call against 'economic royalists' in the spirit of 1776.""2. Appropriating the well-known symbol of violence upraised fist diverting it to peaceful democratic use. To include the farmer phrase the appeal: TOILERS OF AMERICA â€“ UNITE FOR ROOSEVELT.""3. The statue of 'The Thinker' as a symbol of the man today who thinks the toiler with brawn and brain.everyman.""4. Direct appeal to radical labor and leftists in general.""5. Another way of appealing to the working class men and women.""This collaborative effort respectfully submitted for consideration to the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Mr. James A. Farley."Historical BackgroundAfter unseating incumbent Republican President Herbert Hoover in 1932 President Franklin D. Roosevelt ran for reelection in 1936. His Republican opponent was Governor Alf Landon of Kansas. Although the Great Depression had entered its eighth year Roosevelt's New Deal policies were broadly popular. He won the highest share of the popular and electoral vote since the uncontested 1820 election. Roosevelt attracted more than 60 percent of the popular vote and won the electoral votes of 46 states; Landon won the electoral votes of only Maine and Vermont.Democratic Party chairman James Farley had predicted that Roosevelt would lose only Maine and Vermont. After the results of the 1936 election Farley quipped that the nation needed to revise the conventional political wisdom of "As Maine goes so goes the nation" to "As Maine goes so goes Vermont."These ideas for campaign imagery employed or modified common images to support Roosevelt's campaign. One drew on the imagery of artist Archibald Willard's 1875 painting The Spirit of '76 and employed three figures of workers to match the subjects of Willard's image. Another appropriated the upraised fist as a symbol of violence and repurposed it as a symbol of defiant unity against "economic royalists." A third used an image of The Thinkerby French sculptor Auguste Rodin 1840-1917 to appeal to thinking voters. Another image appeals to the fears of radicals that the alternative to Roosevelt is "Reaction."Richard Barron and artist Franz Felix submitted these ideas to Democratic National Committee chairman James A. Farley on July 2 1936 three weeks before the Democratic Party held its convention in Philadelphia. There is no evidence that these images were used in the campaign and it is possible that Farley rejected them. At the end of the campaign the Democratic National Committee had a campaign deficit of approximately $850000. To help offset those expenses the treasurer convinced President Roosevelt to sign 2500 brief Forewords which were bound into The Democratic Book 1936 and sent to donors of $250. Purchases brought in more than $400000 for the party and led Republicans to charge corrupt practices for allowing corporations to contribute to the campaign by buying copies.Franz Felix 1892-1967 was born in Vienna Austria and developed an ability as a child to draw portraits in charcoal. He studied portraiture in Vienna and immigrated to the United States shortly after World War I. He settled in San Francisco where he established himself as a portrait artist and commercial illustrator. In the late 1920s he moved to New York and established a studio in the suburb of Spring Valley where he produced book and magazine illustrations. During World War II he painted a series of murals of wartime activities of Spring Valley residents.James A. Farley 1888-1976 was born in New York into an Irish Catholic family. After his father died he helped his mother with a small business to support the family. After graduating from Packard Business College in New York City where he studied bookkeeping and other business skills Farley got a job with the U.S. Gypsum Corporation. He served as a Democratic town clerk in Stony Point New York and became chairman of the county's Democratic Party in 1918. He organized upstate Democrats and helped elect Alfred E. Smith as Governor that year. He served in the New York State Assembly in 1923 but was defeated at the next election for supporting the repeal of Prohibition. As chair of the state Athletic Commission Farley fought for the civil rights of African American athletes. Farley founded he General Builders Corporation from smaller firms to become New York City's largest building supply company. Farley directed Franklin D. Roosevelt's narrowly successful New York gubernatorial campaign in 1928 and his reelection in 1930. Farley served as chairman of the New York State Democratic Committee from 1930 to 1944 and helped build the national New Deal coalition that elected Roosevelt to the Presidency four times. In 1932 Farley became the chairman of the Democratic National Committee and in 1933 U.S. Postmaster General. He held both positions until 1940. Farley and Roosevelt broke on the two-term tradition of the Presidency in 1940 and he later helped propose the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution limiting a person to two elections as president approved by Congress in 1947 and ratified in 1951. Farley became chairman of the board of the Coca-Cola Export Corporation in 1940 and held that position for more than thirty years. books

BENEDICT ARNOLD & HORATIO SEYMOUR! THEIR IDENTITY OF VIEWS. WHO IS TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES FROM THE New York Times OF SEPTEMBER 19 1864 caption title

1868WRCAM48472Brooklyn: D.S. Holmes 1868. Broadside 13 x 10 inches. Some small tears chipping and loss at top and right edges. Minor foxing. Very good. Broadside printed for the U.S. Presidential Campaign of 1868 which pitted former New York governor Horatio Seymour against Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. This broadside points out Seymour's Copperhead tendencies and statements made by him in 1864 linking him to similar sentiments made by the notorious traitor Benedict Arnold. Seymour's Copperhead utterances during the war haunted his campaign and he lost decisively to Grant. The text printed here strives to demonstrate: ".the points made by Horatio Seymour against the Administration in 1864 are identical point by point with those made by Benedict Arnold against Washington and the Continental Congress in 1780.The Copperhead chiefs of these times who draw so lavishly upon the sophistries and fallacies of 1780 for the furtherance of their factious designs cannot too well understand that the sequel to all this is endless disgrace. They must not expect to fight the Government with weapons of the Tories and of the blue-light Federalists without sharing the same fate." D.S. Holmes unknown books

Douglass and his black republicansâ€¦ 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. FrÃ©mont. 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 8Â½ 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 Constitutionâ€¦ 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 Philadelphiaâ€¦ 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 Houseâ€¦ 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 injunctionsâ€¦ 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. FrÃ©mont 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. FrÃ©mont 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 FrÃ©mont from command in Missouri after he unilaterally declared martial law and threatened to confiscate all property including slaves of Southern sympathizers. Lincoln gave FrÃ©mont command of an army in western Virginia where he was defeated by Stonewall Jackson in the Battle of Cross Keys. After FrÃ©mont refused to serve under General John Pope Lincoln never again gave him a field command contributing to a personal grudge. In 1864 FrÃ©mont 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. books
