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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.
