18489627np 1848. 16pp disbound and stitched minor scattered spotting. Very Good. <br/><br/> NUC attributes authorship to Adams identified here only as "a Whig of the Free States." He is appalled at his Party's impending nomination of Zachary Taylor for the presidency. Taylor a Louisiana slaveholder had never voted or participated in civil affairs. His military career most recently in the Mexican War which northern Whigs had generally opposed as an unconstitutional land-grab for slavery was his only public activity. <br/> "He is a Military Chieftain-- and he is a Slave owner and in favor of the Extension of Slavery over new territories." Webster deserves the nomination: "Let there be no wavering none of the contemptible expediency doctrine which leads men to declare in one breath that Mr. Webster is their first choice and to say the next moment that they are ready to vote for General Taylor." <br/>FIRST EDITION.

Light wear and soil Good. <br/><br/> An appeal for the votes of the troops "the working hands by which the nation's honor and manhood have been vindicated" in the upcoming presidential election. "Through four years of dread war in bright and dark days you have carried the Union in your hearts and on your bayonets." Opposing the Democrat-Copperhead platform as treasonous this pamphlet exhorts "If ever there was a time when Union bayonets were called on to think it is now. The crisis of the war when our armies have the rebellion in their grasp and are preparing to deal its death-blow finds the country precipitated into the turmoil of a Presidential election."
