185433648np 1854. Broadside 12" x 17". Some old folds several fox spots couple of short closed margin tears no loss. Good. Signed in type at the end by about 140 loyal Aroostook Democrats.<br/><br/> The Kansas-Nebraska Act opened the Mexican Cession to Slavery and thus repealed the 1820 Missouri Compromise. Deep divisions in the Democratic Party resulted. Many Northern Democrats resisted the call of their dominant Southern brethren to populate the newly acquired Territories with slaves. Maine's Hannibal Hamlin for example abandoned the Democrats over the Slavery issue and became a Republican and Lincoln's running mate in 1860. <br/> This broadside excoriates such apostates who have joined forces with anti-slavery men "to batten and prey upon the very life of the Democratic Party" and who are "pledged to opposition to the regular democracy." Hyperbolically the broadside accuses them of opposing the Party's "very EXISTENCE plotting her ENTIRE OVERTHROW and DESTRUCTION."<br/>Not located on OCLC as of March 2017. unknown books

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

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 as of October 2017. unknown books
186334396Augusta 1863. Broadsheet 6-5/8" x 9". Caption title as issued. Each page printed in two columns. Some spotting Good.<br/><br/> "The voluntary enlistment of Veteran Regiments and the rapid organization of Negro Brigades in the South will amply recruit the tanks of the Union Armies." If the Administration's policies are "generously sustained by the free and loyal voters of the North" there will be no further draft. "But if the Administration is crippled hindered and embarrassed" in its recruiting another draft will be necessary. <br/> Bradbury the Copperhead candidate for Governor has promised to withdraw Maine's support for the War. If elected he will render inevitable "a fresh draft under the Conscription Act." Maine's Democrats seek deliberately to "precipitate a collision between Maine and the General Government." Men like Bradbury are "Jeff. Davis' Only Hope!"<br/>Not located on OCLC as of October 2017. unknown books

1836WRCAM52765N.p. likely Augusta 1836. 62pp. Folded sheets stitched. Minor foxing and toning. Very good. Untrimmed. A rare Maine slip-bill document resolving that the citizens from Maine and other states should not interfere with the issue of slavery in slave-holding states. The legislature writes: "Any interference therefore of a State or the inhabitants of a State with the domestic concerns of another State is dangerous as having a direct tendency to create jealousies between the States and thereby weakening the attachment to the Union which is our only security against domestic dissensions and foreign aggressions." <br> <br> This is a somewhat surprising position for the state of Maine to have taken at the time. Maine came into the Union in 1820 as a free state to balance the admission of the slave- owning state of Missouri. Also Maine opposed the admission of the Republic of Texas in 1836 the same year the present document was printed on the basis of Texas' position on slavery. It is curious that they would take two seemingly opposite positions in the same year. Still the legislature printed the resolution and authorized copies to be sent to the four southern slave-owning states mentioned in the title. unknown books
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 books
184436140Washington D.C.: n.p. 1844. First edition. Removed. A very good copy. 1 pp. 8vo. The main resolution was an attack on the heinous process of re-enslaving freed blacks: "Resolved. That we do most solemnly in behalf of the people of this State protest against the existence of any laws in any of the States of Territories of this Union which subject our free colored citizens to the liability to be arrested and imprisoned and to be sold into slavery for the payment of the costs of such arrest and imprisonment; that we do protest against such laws as unconstitutional and as endangering the Union." Maine approved this on March 22 1843 sent a copy to all members of the House and Senate and to all the governors of States and Territories. OCLC locates no copies.
