182634420Maine 1826. Folio sheet folded to 8" x 9-1/2". One printed page followed by three blanks. Addressed on final blank with folds for mailing and remnant of wax seal to William Thomas of Gorham Maine. Spotted Good or so.<br /> <br /> The document is signed in type at the end by Committee Members Daniel Gilbert Thomas Browne and Ethan Earle. It is dated in ink "Sept. 5th 1826." The Committee urges Maine "to send forth from our state an unequivocal voice in favor of the Head of the National Government" by voting for Adams supporters Enoch Lincoln Governor Stephen Longfellow Congress and other members of the State ticket.<br /> Allusions to the bitter 1824 presidential contest are numerous; the wounds inflicted by that campaign are obviously still open: "We have placed the man of our choice at the head of our government." If "we abandon him to the rude tempest of a bitter opposition how shall we answer it to our consciences and our country. What then has the President done that we should leave him to his enemies. We do not profess one thing and intend another-- we do not cry 'Adams' but mean 'Crawford'." <br /> Not located on OCLC as of November 2017. unknown

171521151London 1715. Broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Small folio. Bound to style in half calf over marbled paper-covered boards. Ornamental border. Minor foxing. Very good. A project for colonizing Maine in 1715. One of only two surviving copies.<br/> <br/> A rare early petition relating to British settlement in the eastern part of present-day Maine. The authors refer to petitioning "his Majesty in Council on the 6th Day of December last for having a Colony settled between New England and Nova Scotia" with "over one thousand disbanded men" and to be funded with the proceeds of a proposed coinage operation. The only copy of this document listed by OCLC and ESTC is at the New-York Historical Society which estimates merely that the document was printed during the 1700s. The historical context the text cited above and discovery of this broadsheet among similar petitions dating almost exclusively to 1714 and 1715 however make 1715 an extremely likely date of printing. In the Treaty of Utrecht 1713 the French ceded the land east of the Kennebec River presumably the area in question here to the British; this event and the reference to "disbanded soldiers" suggest that the War of the Spanish Succession had recently ended which it finally did in 1714. George I succeeded Queen Anne in late 1714 meaning that the petitioning of "December last" could not have been earlier than that year. With the new monarchy and a major upheaval in the House of Commons following the general election of 1715 petitionary literature distributed in the lobby of Parliament surged with this document almost certainly among the examples from that year. The petitioners evidently officers who had served in the recent war call attention to the fact that the lands they hope to settle "were formally survey'd and given by King Charles the Second to the Duke of York" and that the area has been confirmed as rich for farming. They ask that Parliament allow them to present their formal proposals for the settlement or "if not thought proper to have a Colony settled in that part of North-America" at least still to grant them a contract to coin 1000 tons' worth of half-pence and farthings. A very important Maine document one of only two surviving copies. unknown

184434352Kennebunkport Maine 1844. Folio broadsheet 11" x 16" printed in four columns recto and verso. 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. Not in Williamson American Imprints or Sabin. unknown

Evans tells Daniel that "No examination of any extent has yet been made into the state of his affairs.

"We are holding a succession of mass meetings in every county of the state & have made great efforts to obtain distinguished gentlemen from Massachusetts to address our citizens; but not one has yet honored us with his presence. Thus compelled to rely upon our own resources I feel the greater necessity of remaining at my post until we have achieved our victory.

Letter dated January 4th 1855 one day after the Maine elections from Maubec Mitchell Rawson newly elected Whig member of the Maine House of Representatives to fellow Whig party member and candidate for Governor Isaac Reed reporting on the efforts to fix the vote in favor of Reed's opponent Anson Morrill. Rawson had been appointed as a member of a gubernatorial committee that morning so was privy to the shenanigans: "Much talk is made about the course which some members of the Senate & House wish to pursue. I tell them I have no objections to throwing out the votes in the Hancock Plantation & thereby elect or in any way assist Mr. Milliken but to throw them all out & by so doing disfranchise some thousand & declare Mr. Morrill elected by the people. I tell them such a course will be suicidal to the great American party which Mr. Reed & myself are one."<br /> <br /> He goes on to report who is opposed to these moves and who might be witnesses: "When I see you I will inform you who are the men who are so conscientious about this matter. I am perfectly quiet & cool but I have been at work. most of the time for the last 24 hours. They the Committee propose to spend the night in the committee room so as to have it said that we are doing up business in shape but they are more anxious to declare Mr. Morill Gov by the dear people. I have heard nothing from you but I think my course is patriotic or an honest one & I shall pursue it unless you suggest otherwise. Don't show my letters to anyone. I shall be glad when this session shall close."<br /> <br /> Anson Morrill 1803-1887 was elected Maine's Governor in 1855 and served until 1856.
