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.

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.

185640822New York: New York Tribune 1856. Caption title as issued 16pp. Disbound and wear. Good. <br /> <br /> After the Whig Party collapsed under the weight of the Sectional Crisis keen competition emerged among Democrats Republicans and Know-Nothings Americans for the support of its erstwhile members. This pamphlet urges anti-slavery Whigs to vote for the new Republican Party which fielded its first presidential candidate this year. <br /> A close examination of Fillmore's record particularly as Zachary Taylor's vice president reveals that he was no friend of that Whig President. Political expediency has caused him to trim his anti-slavery views: he is now a reliable ally of the South. Although standard bibliographies have failed to include this pamphlet it appears in OCLC under several accession numbers. <br /> FIRST EDITION. Not in Sabin Eberstadt Decker Miles.
