62 [i.e., 60], [3 blanks], [1 publ. advt.] pp. Disbound, printed in double columns. Occasional light foxing, Good+ to Very Good. The disintegration of the Whig Party in the mid-1850's led Senator William Seward into the new Republican Party. Competing with Republicans was the nativist American, or Know-Nothing Party. Opposed to immigrants, particularly Roman Catholics, its support was sufficiently strong to field a credible presidential candidate in 1856, former President Millard Fillmore. Seward's move to the Republicans caused much fluidity in New York politics, with Know-Nothings attempting without success to defeat his bid for re-election to the U.S. Senate. This pamphlet collects speeches on the floor of the New York Assembly during the debate on Seward's return to the Senate. They expose the dangers and secret rituals of the Know-Nothings. Sabin 38147.

1 vols. 12mo. First edition. First edition. 1 vols. 12mo. An anonymous tract supporting the American "Know-Nothing" Party, and lamenting the influx of "foreign criminals and paupers."

Cloth, gilt stamped design of bald eagle with stars, stripes, and arrows on front cover. Spine ends chipped, backstrip faded, corners a little bumped, but still a sturdy copy.

36pp, disbound, lacks wrappers. Light dustsoiling of outer leaves, title page partly loosened. Good+. The pamphlet is the creation of the American [Know-Nothing] Party's Twelfth Council, Fifteenth Ward, City of New York. This is the credo of the American Party, at its high-water mark: "America should be governed only by Americans." The next year former President Millard Fillmore would be the Party's candidate for president, in a three-way battle with Buchanan and Fremont, the first Republican presidential candidate. The Know-Nothings feared immigrants, who were "ignorant of our institutions and laws, often ignorant of our language, necessarily in all cases unimbued with the traditional and native sentiment which gives life and permanence to our institutions." OCLC records a number of institutional locations.

Caption title [as issued]. Disbound. 8pp, lightly worn. Good+. At head of title: 'Read This, And Then Hand It To Your Neighbor. Tracts For The People. No. 3.' A scarce survival of the chaotic, three-way 1856 presidential campaign. This pamphlet, from the anti-immigrant American or Know-Nothing Party led by ex-President Millard Fillmore, charges that James Buchanan, the Democratic candidate, "did advocate the reduction of the wages of American laborers." Working men must shun him at the upcoming election: "American Laborers! Rally in support of the champion of your rights and interests. That man is Millard Fillmore. He has ever advocated the Protection of the American Laborer. His protective tariff of 1842 worked miracles for the mechanics and laborers of our country."

Folio printed broadside on cloth. 10-1/2" x 17-1/2" on cream color fabric. Designed like a ballot and printed in several bold, large fonts. Beneath the names of Ingersoll and Stewart, the names of 25 electors are boldly printed in a single column. Fine. Ours is only the second copy known of the American Party's rare broadside on cloth, printed for the 1856 presidential election in Pennsylvania. Former President Fillmore, with former Democrat Andrew Donelson as his running mate, headed the Know Nothing Party, who primary concern was the elimination of foreign influence in American life, particularly the influence of Roman Catholicism. The anti-Irish, anti-Catholic riots in Philadelphia gave Know-Nothings reason to hope for electoral success in 1856. However, they won just under 18% of the popular vote, third and last behind Pennsylvanian James A. Buchanan and Republican John C. Fremont. OCLC 944920444 [1- Clements] as of August 2023.

Broadside, 9-3/4" x 10-1/2." Printed in three columns. Lightly dusted and minor wear, old folds. Very Good. This rare broadside, from American ['Know Nothing'] Party members of the Pennsylvania Legislature, attacks Simon Cameron, "one of the most intriguing, if not the most corrupt politician in the State." The broadside explains their refusal to support Cameron for the U.S. Senate. "Could we have exhonorated ourselves from the odium of such a nomination.?" Cameron is a chameleon: he has, from time to time, been a Whig, a Know-Nothing, and an anti-slavery man. During this latter incarnation he supported President Franklin Pierce's pro-slavery Kansas-Nebraska Act. In short, "there is not character enough in the man to impose upon credulity itself." Indeed, he is "an old political hack." The broadside is signed in type at Harrisburg on February 12, 1854 by Nicholas Thorn, Jno. F. Linderman, T.L. Baldwin, Samuel B. Page and twenty-four others. It was issued at the height of Know-Nothing influence in American politics. Not located on OCLC as of August 2022, or anywhere else.
