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.

185218550np. 1852. Disbound with some loosening 8pp. Printed in double columns. Caption title as issued. Light tan and wear Good. <br/><br/> An attempt to tar General Winfield Scott the Whigs' 1852 presidential candidate with abolitionism; and to promote Franklin Pierce who by contrast is "devoted to the constitution and defended the rights guarantied by that sacred instrument." <br/> The Whigs have pandered to the extreme abolitionists the Liberty Party crew and seek to "absorb the friends and followers of James G. Birney and Wendall sic Phillips into the bosom of the whig party which is now under the leadership of Wm. H. Seward who will be the controlling spirit of the government should General Scott be elected." Birney Phillips and Seward were of course anathema to southerners and indeed to many northern Whigs and Democrats who did not wish the slavery issue to threaten the maintenance of the Union. <br/>FIRST EDITION.

182834348Washington 1828. 4pp. Caption title as issued. Spine reinforced. Signed in type at the end 'MANY.' Dated in type 'Washington March 24 1828.' 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.

Lightly foxed Good. <br/><br/> A Whig presidential campaign pamphlet arraigning Polk and the Democrats as the party of "TEXAS OR DISUNION."

188036539Concord NH 1880. Broadside 11-3/8" x 15-1/4". Printed in a variety of type sizes and fonts. Bit of wrinkling else Very Good. <br/><br/> General James Garfield was the Republicans' 1880 presidential candidate; General Winfield Scott Hancock ran for the Democrats. Garfield's supporters claim here that protective tariffs "favor American labor." Garfield's laudable support for tariffs is contrasted with the views of Hancock and his party. Reduction or elimination of tariffs would "be a movement to equalize wages here with the lowest prevailing in the Old World."<br/> We suggest a New Hampshire imprint because that State's Democratic candidate for Governor Frank Jones is pilloried here for opposing protective legislation.<br/>Not located on OCLC or the online sites of AAS New Hampshire Historical Society or Rauner Library as of April 2020. unknown books
