Añadir al carritoPaperback. 8vo. Self-cover. 8pp. Very good. Lightly age toned; binding traces at margin; contemporary "39" in brown ink at upper right corner of first page. An attractive and clean-edged first edition of this attack on the Democratic eighth U.S. president, undated but certainly published in 1848. After losing his bid for reelect…ion to Whig candidate William Henry Harrison in 1840, Van Buren's opposition to Texas annexation in 1844 lost him the vote of pro-slavery Democrats and he failed to get the nomination, and in 1848 the Free Soil Party gave him the nomination. Though his views had become more anti-slavery over the years, this no-holds-barred criticism calls him "the great nucleus of the South, and the greatest enemy of the free institutions of the North" -- among many less tactful labels. Quite a few of his letters are excerpted to show his support of slavery. This pro-Whig piece then warns supporters against being tempted to support Van Buren and stresses the advantages of Zachary Taylor ("the honest man, the true patriot, the frank, intelligent, humane soldier, and the man of the People") over Democratic candidate Lewis Cass ("aggressive wars, the resistance of the popular will, the constant exercise of the veto, the one man power, the extension of slavery"). Too secondary to warrant inclusion in Wise and Cronin. Not in Sabin.

Añadir al carrito8pp, caption title [as issued]. Disbound and lightly foxed. Good+. Letters from Whigs Caleb Smith of Indiana and Schenck of Ohio tell their fellows that they better vote the Whigs' 1848 presidential ticket, despite their dismay at the nomination of Zachary Taylor. The alternative is the Democrat Cass, whose election will "lead t…o large acquisitions of territory upon our Southern borders, no restriction upon the extension of slavery.this mad career of conquest.

Añadir al carrito16pp, untrimmed and folded, blank top edge chipped. Toned. Good+ or so. Stewart, a Whig, had charged that Cass, the Democrats' 1848 presidential nominee, had picked the taxpayers' pockets while Governor of the Michigan Territory and Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Stewart issued a pamphlet that included Cass's expense accounts… and other documents to back up his charges. Defending Cass, this pamphlet accuses the Whigs and Stewart of "making up a gross statement against General Cass and suppressing the truth in regard to the accounts of General Taylor." Taylor, say the Democrats, is guilty of even greater malfeasance than that which has been falsely charged against Cass. Sabin 91633n. 111 Eberstadt 113.

Añadir al carrito8pp, disbound, else Very Good with caption title [as issued]. A Whig attack on Michigan Senator Cass, the Democrats' 1848 presidential nominee. His "love of the people's money" is evidenced by his expense vouchers-- printed here-- as Secretary of Indian Affairs. The failure of the Seminole campaign resulted from his "incompetenc…y" as Secretary of War. He is "an old Federalist who denies his ancestry." The pamphlet attacks his 'Nicholson Letter', in which for the first time the concept of Popular Sovereignty-- permitting Territorial inhabitants rather than Congress to determine whether slavery should exist there-- was articulated.

Añadir al carrito16pp, caption title [as issued]. Tanned, several leaves trimmed closely at the fore-edge, with slight loss. Good. A rare 1848 campaign pamphlet, attacking Taylor and sketching the biography of Lewis Cass, a man "of the highest order of talent" who has filled "almost every grade of office, from the lowest to the highest and most…responsible, in the service of his country. From the first start in life he has been a Democrat. He received the first office he ever held from that great apostle of Democracy, Thomas Jefferson, in 1807." Taylor, by contrast, is a "spectacle" as a candidate-- lacking any political opinions, and without even a political party to which he can claim loyalty. A General in the Mexican War, he nevertheless allowed himself to be the candidate of the Whigs, "who have sympathised with the public enemy, who have traitorously given him 'aid and comfort,' who have voted for the disgrace of their country in Congress, by alleging that the war was unconstitutionally commenced." FIRST EDITION. Not in Sabin, Miles, Eberstadt, Decker. Not located in NUC or on OCLC.

Añadir al carrito8pp, printed in double columns, caption title [as issued]. Disbound, else Very Good. A scarce 1848 campaign pamphlet, attacking Whig presidential candidate Zachary Taylor, who "has no political principles, and is perfectly ignorant upon political matters." On the burning issue of the Wilmot Proviso-- whether slavery ought to exi…st in the territories acquired from Mexico-- Taylor is a hypocrite: "At the North, he is represented to be in favor of the Wilmot Proviso." But "at the South his advocates contend that he is opposed.because he is a southern man and a slaveholder, and therefore identified with southern interests." A Louisiana slaveholder, Taylor surprised everyone after his election when he supported immediate statehood for California with its anti-slavery Constitution. Wise & Cronin 44 [Taylor]. Not in Sabin, Miles, Eberstadt, Decker, LCP.

Añadir al carrito[4] pp. Folded bifolium. Very Good. A scarce Whig 1848 campaign pamphlet prints Taylor's letters assuring wary northerners that this Louisiana planter and slaveowner could be trusted with the Nation's destiny. Taylor says he is "not engaged to lay violent hands indiscriminately upon public officers, good or bad, who may differ i…n opinion with me. I am not expected to force Congress, by the coercion of the veto, to pass laws to suit me, or pass none. I would not be a partisan President." He says, "I am a Whig, but not an ultra Whig."

Añadir al carrito8pp, caption title [as issued]. Disbound, else Very Good. A rare 1848 Democratic campaign pamphlet defending President Polk's vetoes. The veto power, says his supporter Andrew Johnson, "was established to enable the people to resist and repel encroachments on their rights." Since the country's founding, Presidents have exercised… the veto only 25 times. The document also includes Virginia Congressman Bayly's 1848 speech, concurring with Johnson; and "Judge Story's Opinion on the Veto," taken from his Commentaries. Not in Sabin, Eberstadt.

Añadir al carrito16pp, disbound and stitched, minor scattered spotting. Very Good. NUC attributes authorship to Adams, identified here only as "a Whig of the Free States." He is appalled at his Party's impending nomination of Zachary Taylor for the presidency. Taylor, a Louisiana slaveholder, had never voted or participated in civil affairs. His… military career, most recently in the Mexican War, which northern Whigs had generally opposed as an unconstitutional land-grab for slavery, was his only public activity. "He is a Military Chieftain-- and he is a Slave owner, and in favor of the Extension of Slavery over new territories." Webster deserves the nomination: "Let there be no wavering, none of the contemptible expediency doctrine, which leads men to declare in one breath that Mr. Webster is their first choice, and to say the next moment that they are ready to vote for General Taylor." FIRST EDITION. Sabin 55816. 3 NUC 0062491. Not in Miles, LCP, Eberstadt, Decker, Dumond.

Ohio's Whig State Central Committee seeks to galvanize its lethargic troops for the upcoming presidential election.

Añadir al carrito24pp. Disbound, printed in two columns per page. Light wear, faint blindstamp on final leaf. Good+ On "the wisdom and good policy" of the Whigs' 1848 nomination of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore for the presidency. The pamphlet soothes the wounds of the failed candidates and their supporters: Winfield Scott, the "noble old…chief, who had just carried the eagles of our Republic in triumph over the mountains of Mexico;" Henry Clay, "the gallant, chivalrous and accomplished statesman of the West;" Webster, "the strong, towering, giant defender of the constitution, of the North." "Circumstances demanded the nomination of another patriotic whig, as the standard bearer of our party." Taylor is a man of "TRUTH, JUSTICE, INTEGRITY, FIDELITY, and a NOBLE GENEROSITY." In this complicated election the Whigs had to contend, not only with the Democrats and their nominee Lewis Cass, but also with former President Martin Van Buren and his Free Soil Party. Seeking to hold the votes of anti-slavery Whigs, this pamphlet derides Van Buren's last-minute conversion: his record shows a complete subservience to the Slave Power. Sabin 70526. OCLC 25797641 [5] as of December 2021.

Añadir al carritoNo binding. Condición: Very Good. Printed Document. Broadside, July 21, 1848, Dorchester, Massachusetts. 1 p. 23 x 29 in. "FREE SOIL! FREE LABOR! FREE SPEECH! RALLY OF THE PEOPLE!All persons opposed to the Election of Taylor or Cass to the Presidency, and to the Extension of Slavery and the Slave Power, are invited to meet at th…e Lyceum Hall," July 24, 1848. ."Inviting "All persons opposed to the Election of TAYLOR or CASS to the Presidency, and to the Extension of Slavery and the Slave Power." The meeting would choose delegates for a state convention on July 28. Speakers included Stephen C. Phillips (1801-1857), an 1819 graduate of Harvard University and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1834 to 1838. The bottom of the broadside contains the names of 178 local voters. It is curious that the Free Soil nominee, former Democrat Martin Van Buren, is not named here. Ultimately, with the support of the convention arranged after this broadside, he received 28.6% of the state's votes. Historical BackgroundOne nearby newspaper reported that the event advertised here as "a large and enthusiastic Free Soil meeting." A Boston paper's correspondent - a supporter of Whig Zachary Taylor - was more critical. He noted more than usual effort to obtain signatures (the men whose names were printed on the bottom), and placarding in Dorchester, and also Roxbury and Boston. But the meeting began more than an hour late, with only 135 "men, youths and boys" attending. Phillips "spoke in his dull, prosy way-repeating himself again and again, for something over two hours," during which time he "succeeded in reducing his audience somewhere about one half."[1]The 1848 Presidential ElectionPresident James K. Polk honored his promise not to seek re-election in 1848, leaving the nomination of his party open, with a popular record of prosperity and the acquisition of the Mexican cession and part of the Oregon Country.At the Democratic National Convention in Baltimore in May, delegates rejected former president Martin Van Buren's bid and nominated U.S. Senator Lewis Cass of Michigan for president and former Congressman and Major General William O. Butler of Kentucky for vice president. Martin Van Buren, disappointed with his rejection by the Democrats, turned to the Free Soil Party, which opposed the extension of slavery in the U.S. territories.Whigs had their national convention in June in Philadelphia. The primary contenders included perennial Whig standard-bearer Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky, General Winfield Scott of New Jersey, and Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts. Though Zachary Taylor hadn't publicly committed to Whig principles, on the fourth ballot, the party selected him as the only candidate likely to be able to defeat the Democrats. Former Congressman Millard Fillmore of New York was selected for Vice President after Webster declined the nomination.At the Free Soil Convention in in Utica and Buffalo in late June, Van Buren won the nomination. Charles Francis Adams, son and grandson of former presidents, was chosen as the vice-presidential nominee.The Native American Party, a precursor of the Know Nothings of the 1850s, had met in Philadelphia in September 1847 and nominated Zachary Taylor for president and Henry A. S. Dearborn of Massachusetts for vice president.The election was held on November 7, 1848, for the first time on the same day in every state. Taylor won a plurality of 47.3 percent of the popular vote to Cass's 42.5 percent and Van Buren's 10.1 percent. Taylor won 15 states with 163 electoral votes, while Cass also won 15 states but with 127 electoral votes. Van Buren's break with the Democrats drew off support to the Free Soil Party. He attracted more than 291,000 votes nationwide but won no electoral votes, delivering key states like New York and Massachusetts to Taylor and the Whigs.In Massachusetts, Van Buren polled second. Taylor received 45.3 percent of the popular vote and the state's 12 electoral . (See website for full description). Broadside.

Good+ or better, in later quarter morocco and modern marbled paper over boards. No consulted source records this Georgia printing among the several issues of this item, with several variations in title. The Chronicl…e & Sentinel published at Augusta during the years 1837-1876. This Whig campaign document presents Taylor, a Louisiana planter, as the hero of the Mexican War. He surely had no other qualifications for the Presidency, having never even previously voted. But it was enough for the Whigs to capture the Presidency for the second and last time. Not in Wise & Cronin [Taylor], Miles, De Renne, Sabin, Eberstadt, Decker. [bound with] SPEECH OF JOHN M.

Botts supports Henry Clay, the Party's candidate in 1844. Botts analyzes the vote in the 1844 election, "when the largest Whig vote ever cast in the State was given for Mr. Clay." Taylor has made it clear that, if nominated, he will not be bound by Whig doctrines. Sabin 6832n. [bound with] GREAT WHIG DEMONSTRATION IN FAVOR OF THE NOMINATION OF GEN. TAYLOR TO THE PRESIDENCY.

"Nothing superior, in the way of a Political Festival, has occurred in this city for many years. All point to ZACHARY TAYLOR, AS AN UNDOUBTED WHIG, as THE MAN OF THE PEOPLE, and capable to bear the Whig standard- as he bore the National Flag at Buena Vista."
