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

18775770N.p. likely Springfield Il: ca. January 8 1877. Good. Three long galley leaves each approximately 6.5 x 19 inches and printed on rectos only with numerous pencil emendations. Old folds and creases numerous chips and tears to margins pervasive wrinkling making reading a bit challenging at times but with no loss to text. Small portion of third leaf containing the last eight lines of text detached but present. Not in great shape but seemingly unique. A galley proof of a speech by General John A. McClernand in the midst of the contentious Election of 1876 which was so far as we can determine neither delivered nor published. A pencil note at top reveals his authorship and notes the speech was intended to be delivered January 8 at the “Great Citizens Convention†in Springfield Illinois almost certainly in 1877 following the recent election in the Fall of 1876. McClernand was an Illinois contemporary of Lincoln's a Democratic Congressman and War Democrat. He was also an ally of another Illinois politician and Lincoln adversary Stephen A. Douglas. He was appointed a general during the Civil War largely through political maneuvering and was generally considered incompetent. McClernand greatly resented the authority of Grant who finally relieved him of command in June 1863. Following the war McClernand became a leading critic of Congressional Reconstruction as well as the Grant Administration in general. He also chaired the 1876 Democratic National Convention which nominated Tilden for the presidency.<br /> <br /> Here McClernand bitterly attacks Grant his presidential Administration and Reconstruction. According to McClernand Grant's "tastes and habits had been acquired in the field and the camp -- in implicit obedience or absolute command. He knew no other rule of action but the military law and army regulations. As a consequence he has lamentably failed as a civil administrator." As President fraudulently and illegally Grant "joined with Kellog a political adventurer and Durell a federal judge to overthrow the will of the people of Louisiana." Law and order says McClernand "lay prostrate and panting at the feet of her remorseless tyrants." McClernand also assails Grant's highhanded tactics in the other Southern States.<br /> <br /> Now says McClernand "the president and his accomplices have now applied themselves to defeat the will of the people by a parliamentary device. They claimed for the President of the Senate the right and power to count the electoral votes and to declare the result and by implication that that right and power would be so exercised as to count Tilden out of his election and to count Hayes into one." He wasn't wrong. In one of the closest most hotly-contested and highly-controversial elections in American history to put it simply Hayes effectively stole the election by agreeing to remove northern soldiers from the South and end Reconstruction. It would be interesting to know what McClernand thought of the ultimate result -- he didn't get Tilden but he did get the end of Reconstruction.<br /> <br /> "Yet another prominent Illinoian who played a role in the Civil War John Alexander McClernand was born in Breckinridge County Kentucky before moving to Shawneetown Illinois at a young age. Similar to fellow Illinoian Abraham Lincoln McClernand was a largely self-taught lawyer who began practicing in Shawneetown in 1835. Also like Lincoln McClernand served in the Black Hawk War. However McClernand was a staunch Democrat. In 1835 he established the newspaper Shawneetown Democrat. He was active in Democratic politics at both the state and federal level serving in the Illinois House of Representatives and eventually Congress. In Congress McClernand was a stalwart Jacksonian Democrat who strongly disliked abolitionists. He strongly opposed the Wilmot Proviso which banned slavery in the territory gained after the Mexican-American War. He became a key ally of fellow Democrat and Illinoian Stephen A. Douglas helping him pass the Compromise of 1850. As tensions rose approaching the election of 1860 McClernand campaigned for Douglas’s presidency and became a Unionist. After war broke out in the following April McClernand helped raise volunteers for the Union Army. Because Lincoln needed to retain a wide base of support and retain connections with Democrats in Illinois he appointed McClernand a brigadier general on May 17 1861. McClernand’s military career would be defined by an ongoing clash with fellow Illinoian General Ulysses S. Grant. Grant a seasoned West Pointer who served in Mexico was irritated by McClernand a political general with little military experience. Further exacerbating relations was McClernand’s tendency to boast about his exploits and diminish the achievements of other commanders" - American Battlefield Trust's entry on John A. McClernand. ca.

187240016np. 1872. 8pp. Disbound loosened with caption title as issued. Good. <br /> <br /> An anti-Greeley presidential campaign pamphlet. Running as a Liberal Republican in 1872 against Grant Administration corruption and incompetence Greeley unfortunately had a detailed public record demonstrating a mercurial inconsistency on public issues. <br /> As this pamphlet says "Sudden changes of opinion always excite distrust unless they are accompanied by causes so adequate and apparent that the metamorphosis is at once explained." This item shows that Greeley's shifts flunk the test.<br /> Not in Sabin Miles Eberstadt Decker. Not uncommon in institutional holdings according to OCLC. unknown

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.

183838949New York: H.R. Robinson 1838. Oblong lithograph broadside 13-1/4" x 20." Shallow blank left margin chips from a prior mounting. Light outer margin darkening. A clean image signed 'Blanks fecit' perhaps Edward Williams Clay. Very Good.<br /> <br /> A satiric commentary on thwarted Democratic hopes to control New York City. Whigs dashed Democratic expectations in the New York municipal elections of spring 1838. Successful Whig mayoral candidate Aaron Clark holds and restrains two horses by their tails: 'Stop my good fellows you are going on a fools errand you are counting your chickens before they are hatched'." His victory has delayed if not destroyed Loco Foco hopes of political dominance. <br /> On the right a Loco Foco supporter in the garb of a carman or driver sits on a horse and tries to ride toward Albany to fulfill his ambitions: 'Marcy must resign in my favor and I'll be next Governor myself for this job!' Reilly suggests the man is either Isaac Varian the Loco Foco mayoral candidate or Democratic Congressman C.C. Cambreling.<br /> On the left a uniformed Jacksonian Democrat sits on his horse. He wants to go to Washington: 'I shall insist on Matty's making me next Collector.' He is probably Tammany leader Jesse Hoyt who indeed was successful in his quest to be Collector of the Port of New York.<br /> Reilly 1838-11. Weitenkampf 52.

186439322np. Milwaukee Berlin WI 1864. Broadside 6-1/8" x 11." Spotted small chip to blank upper corner. Good.<br /> <br /> Ezra Wheeler Wisconsin Democrat was serving his only term in Congress when he wrote this October 15 letter to his constituents in the Berlin Courant. He retired from Congress at the end of his term.<br /> Lincoln supporters reprinted the letter in this broadside for the edification of voters in Wheeler's Fifth Wisconsin District. Wheeler "cannot support McClellan and Pendleton without being false to his Country and false to the platform on which he was placed by the Democratic party of this district two years ago. . . As a loyal Union Democrat he now advocates and vote for the re-election of Abraham Lincoln." Wheeler explains that a Democratic victory "would inevitably be the separation of the Northern and Southern States and following that probably a division among the Northern States; and finally the destruction of our Government."<br /> We have not located a record of this broadside. <br /> Not located in Sabin Bartlett or on OCLC or the online sites of U WI Libraries AAS LCP Newberry Harvard Yale as of January 2024. unknown
