1843WRCAM52065London: T.R. Harrison 1843. 264pp. Dbd. Loosely stitched. Manuscript alternate page numbers very faint occasional foxing but overall a clean and crisp copy. A Parliamentary printing of documents relating to the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 negotiated principally by Daniel Webster and Lord Ashburton which resolved several boundary disputes between the United States and Canada. Foremost it determined the border between Maine and New Brunswick which had been the subject of growing local confrontations known informally as the Aroostook War. The treaty also agreed on crimes for which extradition was possible and notably neglected to include flight from slavery on that list. The documents contain correspondence between Webster and Asburton on both of those subjects as well as several letters discussing the Caroline affair in which a group of agitators for Canadian independence attacked an American steamboat on the Niagara River and sent it ablaze over the Falls in 1837.

Otherwise Very Good.<br/><br/> This Republican Party broadsheet opposes the Democrat Bradbury's 1863 candidacy for Governor of Maine. His speeches-- as a Congressman and as a previous candidate for Governor-- show him as a spineless flip-flopper. In 1862 he defended the war effort. In less than a year he became "a malignant Copperhead." A supporter quotes him that "with or without qualification he is opposed to the war" and that if elected Governor he would in concert with Governor Seymour of New York "withdraw the troops of Maine."<br/>Not located on OCLC as of October 2017. unknown books

Light scattered foxing old folds else Very Good.<br/><br/> On July 4 1844 Maine's Democratic Party Convention was held in Alfred. Joshua Herrick a farmer was Maine's Democratic Congressman for its First Congressional District during the 1843-1845 Session. He sought renomination. But he was challenged by Judge William Alen Hayes. Hayes's campaign manager was future Supreme Court Justice Nathan Clifford whose manipulations aroused deep resentment over lawyers' control of the democratic process. This broadside reflects those class divisions emerging within the Democratic Party.<br/> Hayes who "is without doubt the richest man in the District-- has all the monied institutions at his control or in his interest-- all the aristocracy a queer idea in a dem. party but nevertheless true all or nearly all the Lawyers. Now what has Col. Herrick to go against this tremendous influence He is what we call self-made. has comparatively but little property but he has the confidence of the yeomanry of the District." Despite this appeal Herrick abandoned his effort to secure the Party's renomination and withdrew his name from consideration. He ran without the nomination and lost. <br/>Not located on OCLC or the online site of AAS as of October 2017. unknown books

Good.<br/><br/> This pro-Temperance broadside rebuts the canard that the Sons of Temperance are the prime force behind enactment of the Maine Liquor Law.
