1868WRCAM48472Brooklyn: D.S. Holmes 1868. Broadside 13 x 10 inches. Some small tears chipping and loss at top and right edges. Minor foxing. Very good. Broadside printed for the U.S. Presidential Campaign of 1868 which pitted former New York governor Horatio Seymour against Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. This broadside points out Seymour's Copperhead tendencies and statements made by him in 1864 linking him to similar sentiments made by the notorious traitor Benedict Arnold. Seymour's Copperhead utterances during the war haunted his campaign and he lost decisively to Grant. The text printed here strives to demonstrate: <br> <br> ".the points made by Horatio Seymour against the Administration in 1864 are identical point by point with those made by Benedict Arnold against Washington and the Continental Congress in 1780.The Copperhead chiefs of these times who draw so lavishly upon the sophistries and fallacies of 1780 for the furtherance of their factious designs cannot too well understand that the sequel to all this is endless disgrace. They must not expect to fight the Government with weapons of the Tories and of the blue-light Federalists without sharing the same fate." D.S. Holmes unknown books

182434265New York: William Grattan 1824. 23 1 blank pp. Disbound and loosening. Signature of R.J. Ingersoll on front wrapper probably the Connecticut politician and lawyer who was Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives at the time of this publication and later an anti-Jackson Congressman. Except as noted Very Good. <br/><br/> An interesting scarce analysis of the 1824 election with an eye on the impact of the electoral college written during the campaign. This was the most complicated presidential election in our history there being four strong candidates. Jackson is a man "of temper so violent and uncontrolable and of conduct so arbitrary" that he "would scarcely be restrained by the inconvenient limits of the constitution and laws." Adams and Crawford the beneficiaries of an unfortunate political tradition of elevating Cabinet officers to the Presidency are no match for Clay whose integrity and spirit of unity and compromise render him acceptable to all sections. <br/>Wise & Cronin 138.

184834739Newport 1848. 24pp. Disbound printed in two columns per page. Light wear faint blindstamp on final leaf. Good<br/><br/> On "the wisdom and good policy" of the Whigs' 1848 nomination of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore for the presidency. The pamphlet soothes the wounds of the failed candidates and their supporters: Winfield Scott the "noble old chief who had just carried the eagles of our Republic in triumph over the mountains of Mexico;" Henry Clay "the gallant chivalrous and accomplished statesman of the West;" Webster "the strong towering giant defender of the constitution of the North." <br/> "Circumstances demanded the nomination of another patriotic whig as the standard bearer of our party." Taylor is a man of "TRUTH JUSTICE INTEGRITY FIDELITY and a NOBLE GENEROSITY." In this complicated election the Whigs had to contend not only with the Democrats and their nominee Lewis Cass but also with former President Martin Van Buren and his Free Soil Party. Seeking to hold the votes of anti-slavery Whigs this pamphlet derides Van Buren's last-minute conversion: his record shows a complete subservience to the Slave Power. <br/>Sabin 70526.

181225965New York 1812. 12pp lightly tanned and light spotting faint numerical rubberstamp in blank margin of page 3. Top edge partly uncut. Good. Bound in modern quarter morocco and marbled boards bookplate on front pastedown. <br/><br/> Fueled by jealousy of Virginia's near-monopoly on the presidency New York Republicans urge the nomination of De Witt Clinton in order to deny President Madison a second term. "We are not aware of any advantage that can result by establishing the rule that every President who is not extremely disapproved of shall be re-elected." The Committee citing constitutional precedent reminds fellow Republicans that "the chief magistrate is to be chosen by the States in their seperate sic sovereign capacities" not by congressional caucuses who favor Madison. <br/> The Committee criticizes Madison's conduct of the War of 1812 particularly his failure to bring the army to a state of readiness. "Where are the marks of system or preparation" A Clinton presidency will relieve us "from the evils of an inefficient administration and of an inadequately conducted war." The Address is signed in type at the end by 17 New York City Republicans. <br/>AI 25251 3. unknown books
181228331New York: Pelsue and Gould 1812. 28pp disbound. Some toning light wear. Good.<br/><br/> Fueled by jealousy of Virginia's near-monopoly on the presidency New Yorkers urge the nomination of De Witt Clinton in order to deny President Madison a second term. The dangers of jealousy among the States require that "Virginia herself as she values the confederation should abdicate a situation which she cannot retain without wounding the feelings of her associates and weakening their attachment for our union."<br/> The Committee objects to nominations by "congressional caucus" which favors Madison. The Constitution requires that the President be chosen "by the States composing the Union in their separate sovereign capacities each state voting in the ratio of its population." The Committee also criticizes Madison's conduct of the War of 1812. The Address is signed in type at the end by 16 New Yorkers.<br/>AI 25250 7 26pp. Pelsue and Gould unknown books
