30, [2 blank] pp. Disbound, else Very Good. This campaign document charges Republicans with stirring up "wild excitement" in Kansas. Democrats refuse "to undertake to determine why the God of nature made the African inferior to the white man; or why He permitted England to fasten the institution of slavery upon the colonies against their repeated and earnest remonstrances. Nor can we tell what Heaven in its wisdom may intend to work out of the relations of master and slave." This item supports Pierce Administration policies in the Kansas-Nebraska struggle, and urges the decisive defeat of Republicans. FIRST EDITION. Sabin 35271.

16pp, disbound. Scattered foxing. Good+. A Democratic presidential campaign pamphlet. It charges that during the brief time that Fremont, "the Black Republican candidate for the Presidency," was a U.S. Senator his votes-- opposing the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia-- showed him "to be a most ultra pro-slavery man." The hypocritical Republicans "use the language of patriotism and of love for the Union.whilst their votes, their acts, and their organization, lead only to a dissolution, and all the evils that must follow." The Know-Nothings are just as bad: they "have waged a cruel and relentless war upon foreigners and members of the Roman Catholic church. These classes have been proscribed." Moreover, "Abolitionism and Know-nothingism were allies." FIRST EDITION. LCP 3837. 112 Eberstadt 150(d). Not in Sabin, Decker, Miles.

Folded, old binder holes in blank inner margin. 16pp. Light wear and tan. Good+ to Very Good. A wild anti-Fremont attack, charging that Republicans have violated "the most solemn treaties of the United States with the Indians," and have sought "to stop the wheels of government, stir up strife and discord in the country, and produce anarchy and violence in Kansas." This Democratic pamphlet asserts, "The last and only hope of the Fremont men consists in blood, violence, and murder in Kansas." FIRST EDITION. Sabin 68197.

Caption title [as issued], 16pp. Disbound and wear. Good+. After the Whig Party collapsed under the weight of the Sectional Crisis, keen competition emerged among Democrats, Republicans, and Know-Nothings [Americans] for the support of its erstwhile members. This pamphlet urges anti-slavery Whigs to vote for the new Republican Party, which fielded its first presidential candidate this year. A close examination of Fillmore's record, particularly as Zachary Taylor's vice president, reveals that he was no friend of that Whig President. Political expediency has caused him to trim his anti-slavery views: he is now a reliable ally of the South. Although standard bibliographies have failed to include this pamphlet, it appears in OCLC under several accession numbers. FIRST EDITION. Not in Sabin, Eberstadt, Decker, Miles.

"Principally of his frauds in the purchase of horses in 1846 and 1847, while disbursing officer in California." Cowan. "Carelessness, recklessness, favoritism, and connivance with the claimants."

A cutting satirical cartoon, aimed at the great western explorer, John C. Fremont, and his main supporters in his 1856 bid for the White House. Fremont was the Republican nominee for the presidency, and ran on an anti-slavery platform. He was backed by New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley and radical abolitionist minister, Henry Ward Beecher. In the image, Fremont rides a horse - called the "abolition nag" - that has the face of Greeley. Fremont says, "This is pretty hard riding - but if he only carries me to the White house in safety I will forgive my friends for putting me astride of such a crazy Old Hack." The horse is led toward the Salt River [a metaphor for political disaster] by leading Republican, William Seward, who proclaims that "Which ever road I travel always brings me to this confounded river, I thought we had a sure thing this time on the Bleeding Kansas dodge." Mountains in the background are identified as Kansas and Nebraska. The Greeley-headed horse addresses Seward: "Seward it seems to me we are going the same Road we did in 'fifty two' but as long as you lead I'll follow if I 'go it blind.'" Henry Ward Beecher, who was known to have furnished antislavery emigrants with firearms to participate in the Kansas struggles, follows behind Fremont's horse, his arms laden with rifles. A mountain man - evoking Fremont's exploring past - cautions the Pathfinder: "Ah! Colonel - you've got into a bad crowd - you'll find that dead Horse on the prairie, is better for the Constitution, than Abolition Soup or Wooly head stew in the White house."

No binding. Condición: Very Good. Printed Document. The Fearful Issue to Be Decided in November Next! Shall the Constitution and the Union Stand or Fall? Fremont, The Sectional Candidate of the Advocates of Dissolution! Buchanan, The Candidate of Those Who Advocate One Country! One Union! One Constitution! and One Destiny! 1856. 24 pp., 5 x 8 1/2 in. "What a Combination! Seward, Greeley, Bennet, Watson Webb, H. Ward Beecher, &c. There can be no doubt that this goodly company will speedily be increased by the addition of Fred. Douglass and his black republicans. The only candidate to arrest this tide of demoralization and sectionalism, is James Buchanan."This pro-Buchanan election of 1856 pamphlet attacks the first Republican presidential candidate, John C. Frmont. Quoting from the speeches and writings of William Lloyd Garrison, Horace Greeley, Wendell Phillips, Salmon P. Chase, Henry Ward Beecher, William H. Seward, Joshua R. Giddings, this pamphlet ignores distinctions between abolitionists, racial egalitarians, more limited opponents just of the expansion of slavery into the territories, or those who fought the kidnapping of free African Americans under the Fugitive Slave Law. It paints all with the same broad brush as "Black Republican" extreme abolitionists who were willing to destroy the Union rather than remain in it with slaveholders. Excerpts:[Before Title:] "Read and hand to your Neighbor.""We propose showing by indubitable testimony that John C. Fremont's leading friends are now the open enemies of the Federal Constitution. the enemies of one-half of the States of the Union; the enemies of the laws of Congress; and the enemies to equality of the States." (3)"In a speech delivered at the New England Anti-Slavery Convention on the 29th of May, 1856, by Wm. Lloyd Garrison, we have a flood of light shed on the relation between abolitionism and republicanism, which divests the subject of all doubt or uncertainty." (4)"William H. Seward was known at the Abolition Convention, at Philadelphia. as one of Fremont's warmest supporters. Indeed, it is well known that to Chase, Seward, and Greeley, Fremont is mainly indebted for his nomination: they defeated McLean." (7)"Nathaniel P. Banks, Abolitionist and Disunionist, was elected Speaker of the House by a solid sectional vote: he did not get one vote from the South.No man has exhibited such ferocious hostility to the fugitive slave law, to the compromise measures, and to the Federal Constitution. His speeches, full of treason and of war, would fill a volume." (8 and 9)"Every leading committee has an Abolition Disunionist for chairman, and a Disunion majority! There some thirty-five committees in the House. Black Republicans monopolized all the great committees. Thus was the work of Disunion formally begun in the Congress of the United States! This monstrous act, unprecedented in all our history, was the deliberate work of the men who now surround Fremont." (10)"The reverend agitator, Ward Beecher, is out for Fremont, in the last number of his 'Independent.' He is, probably, next to Garrison and Phillips, the most profligate calumniator of the Constitution and the Union." (19)"What a Combination! Seward, Greeley, Bennet, Watson Webb, H. Ward Beecher, &c. There can be no doubt that this goodly company will speedily be increased by the addition of Fred. Douglass and his black republicans. Every Black Republican in Congress, from New York, is now the earnest advocate of Fremont." (20)"We aver that there is not an Abolitionist or Disunionist in Pennsylvania who is not an active and open friend of John C. Fremont for the Presidency. David Wilmot and William F. Johnston lead the motley crew, both recreants from the Democratic party, because the Democratic party respected the Constitution of the United States, and would not desert its injunctions. The only candidate to arrest this tide of demoralization and sectionalism, is James Buchanan. It is against him and agains. (See website for full description). Printed Document.
