186528392Philadelphia: King & Baird 1865. 16pp printed in two columns per page. Bound into modern plain wrappers Very Good.<br/><br/> The State Central Committee reminds voters of Democrats' defeatism bordering on treason in the 1864 elections. "Both parties went into the contest with their principles plainly inscribed upon their banners." Despite the utter defeat of the rebellion the Democratic Party continues to denounce Lincoln the Republicans and the War. "The 'Sic Semper Tyrannis' of the ever-to-be-execrated Booth conveys no greater insult to the memory of Abraham Lincoln" than does the message of the Democratic Party. <br/> The Union Committee endorses military reconstruction-- particularly because the South rejected President Johnson's mild policies with "defiance and hostility"-- and assures voters that "negro suffrage and negro equality" are not Union policies despite Democrats' "extraordinary efforts to mislead and deceive their fellow-citizens."<br/>Not in LCP or Sabin.

184136190Boston: Eastburn's Press 1841. Broadside 13-3/4" x 22". Printed in three columns separated by rules. Signed at the end in type by Thos. Kinnicutt and 39 others including Edw. Dickinson father of Emily Dickinson. Mild spotting Very Good.<br/><br/> This rare Massachusetts broadside endorses the Whig program and its candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor John Davis "his fame as extended as the borders of the land" and George Hull "a specimen of the republican simplicity of the American farmer". This was a turbulent year for Whigs: their elected President William Henry Harrison had just died; his successor John Tyler of Virginia having vetoed several staples of the Whig program was proving unsound. Whigs reacted with "deep-toned expression of dissatisfaction" and "mortification." But emphasizing the bright side the Central Committee is pleased with the abolition of the Sub-Treasury and the enactment of "a uniform system of bankruptcy."<br/> Rallying the troops the authors emphasize the various "monuments of the wise and beneficent policy of the Whigs for the last fifteen years" during the Party's control of the State government.<br/>Not in Sabin or American Imprints.
