‎CIRCULATE. PUBLISHED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE NATIONAL AND JACKSON DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE. TAYLOR WHIGERY EXPOSED. LETTER FROM THE HON. EDMUND BURKE‎

‎np 1848. 16pp 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."

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. <br/> "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." <br/>FIRST EDITION.

Disbound lightly toned or foxed else Very Good.<br/><br/> These Washington D.C. Democrats "possessed of no political suffrage ourselves" warn in this scarce campaign pamphlet against the election of Winfield Scott a career military man and the Whigs' 1852 presidential candidate. Of our past presidents "The only professional soldier was General Taylor who for upwards of forty years had devoted himself exclusively to his profession of arms. If the evils resulting from his election under which we are now suffering had tongues to speak to you you would not soon repeat that error."<br/> The enviable qualities of Franklin Pierce the Democrats' nominee and a perfect example of "the northern man with southern principles" are trumpeted. Trashing the short presidency of General Taylor the pamphlet finds telling parallels in the career of General Scott. "All who know him know his weakness his egotism his aristocratic haughtiness." To boot "General Scott's opinions on the slavery question are hostile to the interests and safety of the South and to the patriotic opinions of the northern democracy. He fraternizes with such fanatics as Seward Hale Sumner Garrison Phillips and Gerritt sic Smith." <br/>OCLC 23149127 5 as of October 2017. Not in Miles. unknown books‎

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.

During the Civil War Lincoln removed Frémont from command in Missouri after he unilaterally declared martial law and threatened to confiscate all property including slaves of Southern sympathizers. Lincoln gave Frémont command of an army in western Virginia where he was defeated by Stonewall Jackson in the Battle of Cross Keys. After Frémont refused to serve under General John Pope Lincoln never again gave him a field command contributing to a personal grudge.

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."

Two text leaves printed on slightly folded paper resulting in obscuration of some text. Good. The official record of a crucially important moment in American politics the 1860 Democratic Conventions at which Stephen A. Douglas won the nomination and faced Republican nominee Abraham Lincoln in the general election. The first convention was held in Charleston in late April and early May and was a rancorous affair. Douglas led the field of nine total candidates at Charleston over the opposition of militant Southern Democrats so-called "Fire Eaters". Despite the fact that fifty-seven separate ballots were held Douglas could not secure the necessary two-thirds majority of delegates. The delegates therefore adjourned and reconvened in Baltimore in June where the committee voted to exclude certain delegates from Louisiana and Alabama who had been disruptive in Charleston. Douglas finally secured the nomination on the second ballot in Baltimore and went on to lose the general election to Lincoln. The present text prints all the proceedings of the Charleston and Baltimore conventions offering a detailed picture of American politics at their most fractious.
