185234357Washington 1852. Caption title as issued. 16pp. At head of title cuts of a farmer plowing with his team of horses; and an arm and hammer surrounded by a wreath. Disbound lightly toned or foxed else Very Good.<br /> <br /> These Washington D.C. Democrats "possessed of no political suffrage ourselves" warn in this scarce campaign pamphlet against the election of Winfield Scott a career military man and the Whigs' 1852 presidential candidate. Of our past presidents "The only professional soldier was General Taylor who for upwards of forty years had devoted himself exclusively to his profession of arms. If the evils resulting from his election under which we are now suffering had tongues to speak to you you would not soon repeat that error."<br /> The enviable qualities of Franklin Pierce the Democrats' nominee and a perfect example of "the northern man with southern principles" are trumpeted. Trashing the short presidency of General Taylor the pamphlet finds telling parallels in the career of General Scott. "All who know him know his weakness his egotism his aristocratic haughtiness." To boot "General Scott's opinions on the slavery question are hostile to the interests and safety of the South and to the patriotic opinions of the northern democracy. He fraternizes with such fanatics as Seward Hale Sumner Garrison Phillips and Gerritt sic Smith." <br /> OCLC 23149127 5 as of August 2021. Not in Miles. unknown

Printed in two columns separated by a rule. The Column on the left is headed "Baltimore Platform" for the National Union Republican Party; the right hand column is headed "Chicago Platform" for the Democrat-Copperhead Party. <br /> <br /> A Republican recitation of the Democrats' Platform and the Republicans' Platform in 1864 and an analysis of their 'Points of Difference.'

A precursor of the Republican Party the Free Democratic Party was created by Northern Democrats who broke with the national Democratic Party which was dominated by southern pro-slavery men. The Free Democrats pledged "NO MORE SLAVE STATES NO SLAVE TERRITORY NO NATIONALIZED SLAVERY and NO NATIONAL LEGISLATION FOR THE EXTRADITION OF SLAVES." That bold promise is contrasted with the temporizing pro-slavery Platforms of the two major Parties-- the "Compromise Democratic Nominations" of Franklin Pierce; and the Whigs headed by Winfield Scott.<br/> The verso is headed in bold type: "The Fugitive Slave Law! America's Bill of Abominations!!" Its text with the signature in bold type of President Millard Fillmore is printed in five columns at the top half of the verso. The lower half is an address by "Alexander" "To the People of the United States!--- The Issue before the Nation!" Unlike the Whigs and Democrats the "Free Democracy will favor the early policy of the country to limit localize and discourage slavery. the immediate repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law." The Free Democratic Platform is printed along with that of the Democrats and Whigs. <br/>OCLC 83679097 2- NYHS Peabody-Essex 45737584 2- Boston Public Wellesley as of October 2019.

Bound with; An alphabetical list of the names of the persons Who polled for knights of the shire for the county of Wilts on the 18th 19th 20th and 21st of August 1772. Salisbury Printed and Sold by E. Easton 1772. 52pp 2 ads. Quarto. Handsomely bound by C. W. Rose in recent half morocco marbled boards gilt T.E.G. decorated endpapers. Very minor wear to extremities. Sporadic browning occasional ink annotations to margins and text sympathetic repair of tear to title of second work. Tables of eligible electors and their respective votes for the Wiltshire county poll of 1772 between candidates Ambrose Goddard and Henry Herbert. The latter polled well on the August 18th opening only to rapidly lose the majority over the next four days as Goddard's supporters rolled in to secure superiority of over two votes to one. When the poll closed it was said that Goddard had a substantial number of voters left. Given that half of Herbert's supporters polled on day one when no oath had been taken the likelihood is that Goddard's victory was even more decisive than the final count suggests.
