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.

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

185640839Washington 1856. 30 2 blank pp. Disbound else Very Good. <br /> <br /> This campaign document charges Republicans with stirring up "wild excitement" in Kansas. <br /> Democrats refuse "to undertake to determine why the God of nature made the African inferior to the white man; or why He permitted England to fasten the institution of slavery upon the colonies against their repeated and earnest remonstrances. Nor can we tell what Heaven in its wisdom may intend to work out of the relations of master and slave." <br /> This item supports Pierce Administration policies in the Kansas-Nebraska struggle and urges the decisive defeat of Republicans. <br /> FIRST EDITION.

He addresses Grant 'Here General is a couple more hides to be tanned when will they be done' Grant smokes a cigar and wears the leather apron of a tanner rolled-up sleeves exposing his muscular arms. He replies 'Well I'll finish them off early in November.' <br /> "At right corner former Confederate generals Robert E. Lee Simon Bolivar Buckner and John C. Pemberton hold their rumps and hop about in pain. They announce 'This is to Certify that we have had our hides tanned and that the work was by him thoroughly done."

186440557New York: Bromley & Company 1864. 19" x 24" lithograph broadside cartoon. Old tears repaired with tape on verso. Long horizontal tear at center has been reinforced by tape on verso. Light wrinkling and toning. The cartoon remains bold solid and intact. Good.<br /> <br /> "The first in a series of four harsh anti-Lincoln satires published by Bromley & Co. in New York. An imaginary dream of Jack Downing a comic Yankee character created in the 1830s by Seba Smith has Lincoln and some of his supporters and cabinet members as a band of undertakers about to inter the Constitution. <br /> "In 1862 displeased by Attorney General Edward Bates's slowness in enforcing the Conspiracies Act the President took matters into his own hands and issued a proclamation 'directing trial by court martial or military commissions of all persons who impeded the draft discouraged enlistments or committed other disloyal acts.' Around thirty-eight thousand people were arrested denied the right of habeas corpus and held in jail until brought to trial. This heavy-handed act provides the fuel for the artist's attack here. <br /> "Secretary Stanton is shown driving a hearse 'War Democracy' drawn by four horses with the heads of War Democrats left to right: John Cochrane Benjamin F. Butler Thomas Francis Meagher and Daniel S. Dickinson. Secretary Stanton says 'My jackasses had a load but they pull'd it through bravely. Cochrane: 'I pull for the side that pays the best always.' Butler: 'A million of dollars from New-Orleans'. . . <br /> "At right journalist Horace Greeley and Massachusetts senator Charles Sumner bury a casket labeled 'Constitution. Three other caskets 'Union' 'Habeas Corpus' and 'Free Speech Charge Express' wait nearby. Greeley: 'I guess we'll bury it so deep that it will never get up again.' Sumner: 'Be still you old fool. Let us first be sure that it is all under.' <br /> "A sober Lincoln watches with folded arms asking 'Chase will it stay down" Beside him treasury secretary Salmon P. Chase responds '. . . It must stay down. Or we shall all go up!' . . . <br /> "Abolitionist clergyman Henry Ward Beecher presides over the ceremony with a black child in his arms praying 'Not thy will oh Lord! But mine be done.' Above them Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton who has the legs and tail of a demon and holds a dagger flies off crying 'If it were done when 'tis done'."

1880197421880. Caption title as issued. 8pp with light wear and old folds. 'No. 86.' printed at top of first page. Good. A Republican campaign pamphlet arguing that the triumph of the 'Solid South' would impoverish the country. Southerners have "the conceit of political sagacity. It is their boast that this country will never be properly governed until Southern statesmanship shall again bear sway." But when the numbers are crunched the South has lagged behind the North in every index of economic prosperity. The Solid South's share of the "commercial industrial financial and educational interests of the country" is disproportionately small. Its pretensions to "dictate the course of the National Government" is absurd. OCLC locates 12 under two accession numbers. unknown
18486729Washington: Towers 1848. 8pp disbound else Very Good with caption title as issued. <br /> <br /> A Whig attack on Michigan Senator Cass the Democrats' 1848 presidential nominee. His "love of the people's money" is evidenced by his expense vouchers-- printed here-- as Secretary of Indian Affairs. The failure of the Seminole campaign resulted from his "incompetency" as Secretary of War. He is "an old Federalist who denies his ancestry." <br /> The pamphlet attacks his 'Nicholson Letter' in which for the first time the concept of Popular Sovereignty-- permitting Territorial inhabitants rather than Congress to determine whether slavery should exist there-- was articulated. <br /> Sabin 11350. Streeter MI 612. Towers unknown

New York Democrats defend Jackson denounce the falsehoods surrounding that incident and call the official record of the inquiry "useless rubbish." <br /> Howes J4. Wise & Cronin 232. Sabin 56778.
