185634450Washington: Published by the Granite State Club of Washington 1856. 24pp. Caption title as issued. Stitched untrimmed curled or lightly chipped at blank extremities. Printed in two columns per page. Very Good.<br/><br/> Opposing the Republican Party and John C. Fremont's bid for the presidency this pamphlet charges that "Black Republican members of Congress" sought "to drive out pro-slavery settlers from Kansas which has resulted in the recent scenes of violence and bloodshed there." Proof of the charge is found in the published proceedings of the Emigrant Aid Society as well as other documents. The Republicans' purpose "of getting up a war in Kansas" is "to help elect Fremont. For the greater the disturbance in Kansas the more clear would be the apparent 'villainy' of repealing the Missouri compromise."<br/> Further proof is found in the proceedings "of the Black Republican Abolition Convention that nominated Fremont." The Conspiracy -- including participation by the "Coal-Black Republicans"-- is examined in all its details. <br/>Not in Sabin or LCP although there are a number of institutional locations.

187632441Washington 1876. 8pp caption title as issued. Disbound a bit roughly in the blank inner margin. Good.<br/><br/><br/> Despite its claims the Democratic Party is not "devoted to a pure high-toned efficient well-conducted civil service." In control of the House of Representatives the Democrats have turned out Union soldiers in droves and have appointed former Confederates to office in their place.

1863WRCAM53688Winchester 1863. Broadside 5 x 3 3/4 inches. Toned minor soiling and wrinkling. Very good. An exceedingly rare Confederate Tennessee state election ticket from 1863 nominating Robert L. Caruthers for governor and eleven others as state senators. In 1863 state elections were due in Tennessee. The state was fractured by war and secession and both Unionists and Confederates expressed the desire to hold elections for state government. Confederate supporters held a convention in Winchester and nominated a governor the State Legislature and members for the Confederate Congress. It was a bit of a fool's errand. <br> <br> Isham G. Harris who still considered himself the governor of Tennessee issued a proclamation calling for the election to be held on the first Thursday in August. Just who voted and how many or how few will probably never be known. According to historians the State Archives in Nashville are scant and inconclusive; returns from only thirty-two counties are found some of which reported the vote of only one civil district. Not a single report was from West Tennessee counties and only eight Middle Tennessee counties made returns. Robert L. Caruthers was elected governor on the face of returns but he was never inaugurated and thus never served a day as governor of Tennessee. No Confederate State Legislature ever convened either. The Confederate Congressmen were the only lucky ones. Those who were elected in 1863 took their seats in Richmond however briefly. <br> <br> George Webb notes this copy in his NOT IN ALLEN bibliography in 2013. Not in Parrish & Willingham. The only other copy or shall we say copies resides at the Library of Virginia in an uncut sheet of six tickets. This will likely be the only copy ever available in the marketplace.

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." Moreover "Abolitionism and Know-nothingism were allies." <br/>FIRST EDITION. LCP 3837. 112 Eberstadt 150d. Not in Sabin Decker Miles. unknown books

The text below the picture provides the dialogue descriptive notes and identification of the main characters. Columbia: 'What a shame that a man who was educated at my expense and whom I have since honored and petted should have allowed himself to be allured by ambition into such company and upon such a Platform!

1856WRCAM53064Suffield Ct 1856. Broadside 17 x 10 1/2 inches visible area. Matted and framed. Light dampstaining at top edge light foxing. Very good. An attractive broadside advertisement that promotes a meeting of James Buchanan supporters the "Keystone Club" in Suffield Connecticut on Sept. 27 1856. The poster promises a number of speeches against the candidate of the newly-formed Republican Party John C. Fremont that assert the complicity of his supporters in the violence roiling Kansas. The key and virulent disagreement between the Democratic party for whom Buchanan was the nominee and the Republicans was over the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the issue of popular sovereignty which would allow the residents of new states to vote on the existence of slavery within their borders. This broadside accuses anti-slavery and pro-Fremont partisans in Kansas of fomenting violence there for political gain. The text reads in full: <br> <br> "Messrs. A.G. Howard C.W. Philleo and others will address the Keystone Club at the Town Hall in Suffield on Saturday Eve'g Sept. 27 1856. We make the charge that the troubles in Kansas are encouraged and kept alive by the supporters of Freemont sic in the hope of gaining political capital. And we can prove the charge!" <br> <br> The text is headed by an American eagle gripping arrows and olive branch in the style of the Great Seal. OCLC records only two copies of this interesting broadside at the Connecticut Historical Society and Connecticut State Library. unknown books

185622519New York 1856. 16pp stitched caption title as issued. Small institutional rubberstamp else Very Good. This campaign document shows the drift of northern Know-Nothings formerly Whigs to the new Republican Party. These conservative Union stalwarts cannot stomach the American Party candidate Fillmore's association "with the supporters of aggression and outrage in Kansas and persisting in such votes after it had been irrefragably proven that the elections in Kansas had been carried by armed bodies of men from Missouri." Moreover despite wild charges it has never been satisfactorily shown that Fremont is a Roman Catholic a sure disqualifier in mid-19th century America. FIRST EDITION.

1860WRCAM45168Cleveland: Nevins' Print Plain Dealer Job Office 1860. 188pp. Dbd. Ink pen trial on titlepage. Light wear in fore-edge of titlepage and upper margin of final text leaf. Two text leaves printed on slightly folded paper resulting in obscuration of some text. Good. The official record of a crucially important moment in American politics the 1860 Democratic Conventions at which Stephen A. Douglas won the nomination and faced Republican nominee Abraham Lincoln in the general election. The first convention was held in Charleston in late April and early May and was a rancorous affair. Douglas led the field of nine total candidates at Charleston over the opposition of militant Southern Democrats so-called "Fire Eaters". Despite the fact that fifty-seven separate ballots were held Douglas could not secure the necessary two-thirds majority of delegates. The delegates therefore adjourned and reconvened in Baltimore in June where the committee voted to exclude certain delegates from Louisiana and Alabama who had been disruptive in Charleston. Douglas finally secured the nomination on the second ballot in Baltimore and went on to lose the general election to Lincoln. The present text prints all the proceedings of the Charleston and Baltimore conventions offering a detailed picture of American politics at their most fractious.

185610914Baltimore 1856. 16pp double columns disbound and lightly worn. Good. <br/><br/> "Old Line Whigs" descendants of the Henry Clay-Daniel Webster Party favoring a national government active in commercial affairs had nowhere obvious to go in 1856: their own Party had been destroyed by the Sectional Crisis; the new Republican Party was in their view a threat to the beloved Union; and the anti-Catholic bias of the emerging American Party was disgusting to many of them. <br/> This pamphlet urges them to vote for Buchanan: his Democratic Party is the only nationwide political organization remaining: disunion will result from its defeat. <br/>Sabin 59432n.

184427020Washington: J. Heart Printer 1844. 4pp folded untrimmed. Lightly worn and dusted else Very Good. <br/><br/> A pro-Polk campaign document centering on the candidates' alleged differences over the Oregon Territory. "Whilst James K. Polk is pledged to retain the whole of this great territory Henry Clay is also pledged to surrender nearly one-half of it to England." The issue in the campaign is simple: "Clay and England on the one side Polk and America on the other. Shall the stars and stripes of the Union or the red cross of St. George wave forever over the Territory of Oregon Shall a republic or a monarchy be established within its limits." Eberstadt unaccountably suggesting an 1845 publication date calls this "a flaming circular.claiming the whole of the territory and apparently everything else from the Amazon River northward to the pole." <br/>110 Eberstadt 225.
