182834260Albany: Printed for the Albany Argus 1828. 32pp disbound and stitched. Title and several other leaves browned widely scattered foxing. Good. <br /> <br /> This is one of three 1828 issues all scarce printed in the heated presidential race of that year. Anti-Jackson forces charged that his unrestrained martial personality-- highlighted by executing six militia men after the Battle of New Orleans-- unfitted him for the presidency. New York Democrats defend Jackson denounce the falsehoods surrounding that incident and call the official record of the inquiry "useless rubbish." <br /> Howes J4. Wise & Cronin 232. Sabin 56778.

1828WRCAM56513N.p. 1828. Broadsheet 19 x 9 inches text printed in two columns on both sides. Old folds some chips to edges minor loss to upper left corner and closed tear to bottom edge no text affected. Two small holes affecting just one word a few areas of soiling light foxing even tanning. Manuscript annotations to verso. About very good. A rare broadside recounting Andrew Jackson's infamous execution of Private John Woods published in 1828 by Jackson's opponents during the 1828 election. There was considerable mud-slinging between the Jackson and Adams camps during that campaign which eventually saw the defeat of incumbent John Quincy Adams and the election of Andrew Jackson. This dense broadside recounts the events of March 1814 at Fort Strother during the Creek Campaign when Jackson charged John Woods an eighteen year-old militiaman with disobedience disrespect and mutiny. According to the text the trial itself only occurred because Jackson's soldiers would not shoot Woods' at the moment of the offense despite Jackson's cries to "Shoot the damned rascal!.blow ten balls through the damned rascal!" The court martial followed soon after; Woods was found guilty and sentenced to die. Some testimonies here state that Jackson offered to spare Woods' life if he would enlist in the regular army but Woods refused; others disagree. He was executed thirty-six hours later. <br> <br> Then follows the sworn testimony of several witnesses: Thomas Couch Robert Ferguson Samuel Hanna George A. Brock Isaac Roberts James Harris William Stewart Joseph Alexander Isaac Anderson Abm. Whitney and John Williams all fellow-soldiers of Woods who witnessed or had personal knowledge of the facts in the case. Their accounts of Woods' supposed mutiny substantially downplay the severity of Woods' disobedience suggesting that it was likely a misunderstanding; they also emphasize the draconian nature of the punishment and make several mentions of Woods' aging and infirm parents. Williams' account closes: "It is not true that Woods on the ground of Execution with oaths and defiance refused to promise obedience. On the contrary he wept loud and bitterly." All of the testimonies are datelined in Tennessee in the first few months of 1828. The nature of the printing lends itself to the possibility of a Tennessee press. <br> <br> Though not as famous as the "Coffin Handbills" that appeared at the same time listing Woods' execution among many other crimes by Jackson this was definitely addressed to the same audiences. John Spencer Bassett in his LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON notes that the "execution of mutinous militiamen in the campaigns of 1813 and 1814 was recalled to show Jackson's ferocious temper; and when a Philadelphia editor published a hand-bill showing a coffin with the victims standing by its side the idea was caught up eagerly and repeated in all parts of the country." <br> <br> Not in Wise & Cronin and we could find no listing for this broadside in OCLC or in American Imprints. It has only appeared at auction twice and then not since 1925 when Anderson Galleries offered a copy as part of the sale of the Henry De Puy collection which was strong in Andrew Jackson material. The only copy in the trade seems to be one offered by the Eberstadts in 1939. unknown books
18486729Washington: Towers 1848. 8pp disbound else Very Good with caption title as issued. <br /> <br /> A Whig attack on Michigan Senator Cass the Democrats' 1848 presidential nominee. His "love of the people's money" is evidenced by his expense vouchers-- printed here-- as Secretary of Indian Affairs. The failure of the Seminole campaign resulted from his "incompetency" as Secretary of War. He is "an old Federalist who denies his ancestry." <br /> The pamphlet attacks his 'Nicholson Letter' in which for the first time the concept of Popular Sovereignty-- permitting Territorial inhabitants rather than Congress to determine whether slavery should exist there-- was articulated. <br /> Sabin 11350.

1880197421880. Caption title as issued. 8pp with light wear and old folds. 'No. 86.' printed at top of first page. Good. A Republican campaign pamphlet arguing that the triumph of the 'Solid South' would impoverish the country. Southerners have "the conceit of political sagacity. It is their boast that this country will never be properly governed until Southern statesmanship shall again bear sway." But when the numbers are crunched the South has lagged behind the North in every index of economic prosperity. The Solid South's share of the "commercial industrial financial and educational interests of the country" is disproportionately small. Its pretensions to "dictate the course of the National Government" is absurd. OCLC locates 12 under two accession numbers. unknown

184028018New York: James P. Giffing 1840. 16pp caption title as issued. Disbound. Two full-page cartoon illustrations: 'Harrison and Prosperity' depicting a happy and industrious populace; and 'Van Buren and Ruin' portraying a deeply depressed community with a fat and happy manager of the Sub Treasury Office and an elaborately uniformed Standing Army in the background. Light dusting light scattered foxing. Small tear to one blank corner and two small corner chips no text loss. Good. <br/><br/> Miles attributes authorship to Jacob Bailey Moore the New Hampshire journalist; but Moore so far as I can tell was a Whig not an 'Old Democrat.' Harrison's sturdy character patriotism military service and opposition to Standing Armies in time of peace eminently qualify him for the Presidency. <br/> The Democrat Van Buren author of disastrous banking and economic policies is a Loco-Foco at heart and anti-democratic. "We have had EXPERIMENTS enough; and the next change ought to be a CHANGE OF RULERS."<br/>Miles 138. Sabin 16181. James P. Giffing unknown books
