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."

Election of 1848
THE CASS PLATFORM
Washington: Towers 1848. 8pp disbound else Very Good with caption title as issued. <br /> <br /> 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 "incompetency" as Secretary of War. He is "an old Federalist who denies his ancestry." <br /> 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. <br /> Sabin 11350.

Election of 1880
THE COMMERCIAL ASPECTS OF THE PRESENT POLITICAL CONTEST. HOW WOULD THE SUCCESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AT THE APPROACHING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AFFECT THE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL INTERESTS OF THIS COUNTRY np 1880
1880. Caption title as issued. 8pp with light wear and old folds. 'No. 86.' printed at top of first page. Good. A Republican campaign pamphlet arguing that the triumph of the 'Solid South' would impoverish the country. Southerners have "the conceit of political sagacity. It is their boast that this country will never be properly governed until Southern statesmanship shall again bear sway." But when the numbers are crunched the South has lagged behind the North in every index of economic prosperity. The Solid South's share of the "commercial industrial financial and educational interests of the country" is disproportionately small. Its pretensions to "dictate the course of the National Government" is absurd. OCLC locates 12 under two accession numbers. unknown

Very Good. <br /> <br /> 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 in opinion with me.

Election of 1852
THE WHIG CHARGE OF INTOLERANCE AGAINST THE NEW HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRACY AND GEN. FRANKLIN PIERCE
Boston: Beals Greene & Co. 1852. Disbound 24pp printed in double columns. Light wear Very Good. <br /> <br /> The 1852 presidential campaign pitting the Democrat Pierce against the Whig Scott featured an unseemly competition for the votes of Irish Catholic immigrants. Whigs who were at a disadvantage in this contest charged Pierce with being an anti-Catholic bigot. "The object of the Scott politicians in making the charge of intolerance at this time against General Pierce is to obtain the Catholic vote. It is an appeal to a SECT IN RELIGION to get its members to vote a certain way in POLITICS." <br /> This pamphlet rebuts the charge demonstrating that Pierce supported extending equal rights to Catholics in New Hampshire via constitutional amendment. <br /> Not in Sabin Miles Eberstadt Decker.

THE WHIG-ABOLITIONIST ATTACK! WHIGS AND ABOLITIONISTS AGAINST GENERAL PIERCE
np. 1852. Disbound with some loosening 8pp. Printed in double columns. Caption title as issued. Light tan and wear Good. <br /> <br /> An attempt to tar General Winfield Scott the Whigs' 1852 presidential candidate with abolitionism; and to promote Franklin Pierce who by contrast is "devoted to the constitution and defended the rights guarantied by that sacred instrument." <br /> The Whigs have pandered to the extreme abolitionists the Liberty Party crew and seek to "absorb the friends and followers of James G. Birney and Wendall sic Phillips into the bosom of the whig party which is now under the leadership of Wm. H. Seward who will be the controlling spirit of the government should General Scott be elected." Birney Phillips and Seward were of course anathema to southerners and indeed to many northern Whigs and Democrats who did not wish the slavery issue to threaten the maintenance of the Union. <br /> FIRST EDITION.

Good. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> 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. <br /> FIRST EDITION. Not in Sabin Eberstadt Decker Miles.

Good.<br/><br/> Fueled by jealousy of Virginia's near-monopoly on the presidency New Yorkers urge the nomination of De Witt Clinton in order to deny President Madison a second term. The dangers of jealousy among the States require that "Virginia herself as she values the confederation should abdicate a situation which she cannot retain without wounding the feelings of her associates and weakening their attachment for our union."<br/> The Committee objects to nominations by "congressional caucus" which favors Madison. The Constitution requires that the President be chosen "by the States composing the Union in their separate sovereign capacities each state voting in the ratio of its population."

Ingersoll on front wrapper probably the Connecticut politician and lawyer who was Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives at the time of this publication and later an anti-Jackson Congressman. Except as noted Very Good. <br/><br/> An interesting scarce analysis of the 1824 election with an eye on the impact of the electoral college written during the campaign. This was the most complicated presidential election in our history there being four strong candidates. Jackson is a man "of temper so violent and uncontrolable and of conduct so arbitrary" that he "would scarcely be restrained by the inconvenient limits of the constitution and laws." Adams and Crawford the beneficiaries of an unfortunate political tradition of elevating Cabinet officers to the Presidency are no match for Clay whose integrity and spirit of unity and compromise render him acceptable to all sections. <br/>Wise & Cronin 138.
