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.

5149PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1840. ALS. 2pgs. November 18 1840. Cincinnati Ohio. An autograph letter signed J Burnet by Ohio lawyer and politician Jacob Burnet 1770-1853. It is addressed to James Dunlap of Pittsburg. Burnet replies to Dunlaps letter stating his concerns about Pennsylvania politics in light of the recent 1840 Presidential election in which William Henry Harrison defeated Martin Van Buren. Harrison would die only a month into his Presidency. Mentioning a schism at one point Burnet seems to anticipate the national divide that would eventually lead to the American Civil War although this may have referred to economic issues rather than the question of slavery: Dear Sir I have received your letter of the 12th inst and read it with interest. The matter it containsthe view you have taken of the state of parties in Penna are highly interesting and are certainly entitled to serious consideration. The mixture of parties of which you speak as having taken place in the late struggle can not as you observeThere is reason to fear that when the cause whichthe union the fruits of which we have just gathered shall warn so often at the repelling principlewill throw the parts from each other as far as they win before the conflict began unless something can be done to effect such a permanent combination as you refer to. I confess I now have understood the theory of partyas they have existed in and have agitated your state or the principles on which they have been found or by which they areI can however easilyschism may be the result of such an injudicious course on the part of theyou are anxious to prevent. It would give mow me great pleasure to be instrumental in preventing the wit you depict so strikingly were it in my power. I was known unequal to the task because I have no claims to the confidence of the General beyond those of his friends generally not because in addition to this I could not point him to the parties or the persons as to whom he ought to be on his guard. A frank communication from a confidential friend in Penna who understands the whole subject would receive the attention it deserves. An intelligent Pennacan communicate the specific information necessary to show him the danger and the mode of avoiding it. Advice or caution in a care like this to have its proper influence should come from the power of information. Your views on the subject of claims founded on services rendered in the late political contest are precisely those I entertain and express on all occasions and I have reason to believe the General looks on the subject though the same medium and views it in the same light. If our motives have been patriotic our labor has been done for the country and success is our only legitimate reward. If they have been personal they are not praiseworthy and ought not to be rewarded. I am confident that president elect views the matter in that light and that he does not feel personal obligations to any body on account of no part taken in the contest. If this be not so I have very much misunderstood his character. Yours very respectfully J Burnet. The letter is in very good condition with a loss to the back page that does not affect any content. A reminder of the eternal contention and controversy in American political elections. unknown

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.

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.

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. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. An announcement in the customary Victorian style of mixed typefaces and point sizes with a series of 'advertisements' printed one above the other. At bottom right: 'Printed for the Authoress.' Begins: 'Mrs. Harris' Commemoration Advertiser The Perfect Substitute for Reform. 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.
