PENOBSCOT COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CONVENTION
Bangor 1828. Folio broadside 9-1/4" x 20". Matted hinged at upper edge. Printed in three full columns. A few old folds Very Good.<br/><br/> The Convention met in Bangor on July 9 1828. After endorsing candidates for various State offices the Convention issued and printed its 'Address. to the Electors of the Counties of Somerset and Penobscot' focusing on the upcoming presidential contest. Praising the incumbent John Quincy Adams the Address proclaims "It is sufficient to say of him that talents of the highest order are joined to uncommon attainments. We would ask you to turn from the rantings of demagogues the bold fictions of an irresponsible press. Is not our country moving on peacefully and prosperously in the great march of improvement" <br/> Adams's opponent General Jackson is unsuited for the presidency: "His character has been formed as a military chieftain. He is rash headstrong impetuous and unreflecting-- that he knows no law but his own will." Example after example demonstrates Jackson's unfitness<br/>Not in American Imprints Sabin Wise & Cronin Jackson Adams or on the online sites of OCLC AAS Harvard Boston Athenaeum Bowdoin U Maine as of July 2018. unknown books

Richmond: Printed by Samuel Shepherd & Co. 1828. 38 2 blanks pp. Stitched untrimmed partly uncut. Browned and lightly to moderately foxed. Good in its unsophisticated state. <br/><br/> This Virginia Convention of more than 200 delegates listed by County "feared the most pernicious consequences from the election of General Jackson and we have come to consult about the means of averting this calamity from our country." Although "many of you strongly disapprove some of the leading measures of the present Administration" President Adams's faults and errors are as nothing against the defects of Jackson's character which render him "altogether unfit for the presidency."

TO THE PEOPLE. THE REAL STATE OF THE CASE
Washington 1828. 4pp. Caption title as issued. Spine reinforced. Signed in type at the end 'MANY.' Dated in type 'Washington March 24 1828.' Toned light wear Good.<br/><br/> A rare examination of shifting political coalitions preceding the 1828 presidential election stimulated by the bill pending in the House of Representatives to increase tariffs on woolens. It's a terrible bill: "The provisions of this bill are such in the opinion of the most intelligent farmers and manufacturers that no rational man can be expected to vote for it." The author warns of a coalition of "Southern members who are against all protection whatever and the Jackson members from Pennsylvania Kentucky and New-York who although they profess to be in favor of protecting the farmers and manufacturers yet vote with their Southern Jackson friends." <br/> The author's dire prediction: "A party is fast forming; of which General JACKSON is to be the HEAD which is to be wholly and systematically opposed to the entire system of protection."<br/>AI 35529 1- DLC.

Scattered foxing else Very Good.<br/><br/> The author is an Adams man-- evidently Abner Lacock a prominent Pennsylvania politician who signs on page 12 in type-- in the upcoming presidential contest particularly because Adams's "pure and spotless private character" contrasts so sharply with that of his opponent Andrew Jackson whose "entire unfitness" for civil office is evident. His civic activities have been "fruitless of honor." The litany of his infamous duels his abuses of power his uncontrollable anger and temper his well-known violations of civilized norms in Florida and New Orleans is chronicled here. <br/> One John Sullivan of Baltimore attests that General Jackson threatened A. Lacock who appears to be the author of this pamphlet in an extremely unpleasant manner: Jackson "would cut the SCOUNDREL'S EARS OFF." <br/>Not in Wise & Cronin American Imprints Sabin.

ADDRESS OF THE WHIG STATE CONVENTION TO THE PEOPLE OF RHODE-ISLAND
Newport 1848. 24pp. Disbound printed in two columns per page. Light wear faint blindstamp on final leaf. Good<br/><br/> 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." <br/> "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. <br/>Sabin 70526.

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."

THE PIERCE AND KING DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION OF THE CITY OF WASHINGTON TO THE LABORING AND PRODUCING CLASSES OF THE UNITED STATES
Washington 1852. Caption title as issued. 16pp. At head of title cuts of a farmer plowing with his team of horses; and an arm and hammer surrounded by a wreath. 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

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.

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."

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.

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.

Washington: Published by the Granite State Club of Washington 1856. 24pp. Caption title as issued. Stitched untrimmed curled or lightly chipped at blank extremities. Printed in two columns per page. Very Good.<br/><br/> Opposing the Republican Party and John C. Fremont's bid for the presidency this pamphlet charges that "Black Republican members of Congress" sought "to drive out pro-slavery settlers from Kansas which has resulted in the recent scenes of violence and bloodshed there." Proof of the charge is found in the published proceedings of the Emigrant Aid Society as well as other documents. The Republicans' purpose "of getting up a war in Kansas" is "to help elect Fremont. For the greater the disturbance in Kansas the more clear would be the apparent 'villainy' of repealing the Missouri compromise."<br/> Further proof is found in the proceedings "of the Black Republican Abolition Convention that nominated Fremont." The Conspiracy -- including participation by the "Coal-Black Republicans"-- is examined in all its details. <br/>Not in Sabin or LCP although there are a number of institutional locations.

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."

ILLUSTRATED BROADSIDE ADVERTISING A MEETING OF JAMES BUCHANAN SUPPORTERS IN CONNECTICUT TO HEAR ANTI-FREMONT SPEECHES CONCERNING BLEEDING KANSAS
Suffield Ct 1856. Broadside 17 x 10 1/2 inches visible area. Matted and framed. Light dampstaining at top edge light foxing. Very good. An attractive broadside advertisement that promotes a meeting of James Buchanan supporters the "Keystone Club" in Suffield Connecticut on Sept. 27 1856. The poster promises a number of speeches against the candidate of the newly-formed Republican Party John C. Fremont that assert the complicity of his supporters in the violence roiling Kansas. The key and virulent disagreement between the Democratic party for whom Buchanan was the nominee and the Republicans was over the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the issue of popular sovereignty which would allow the residents of new states to vote on the existence of slavery within their borders. This broadside accuses anti-slavery and pro-Fremont partisans in Kansas of fomenting violence there for political gain. The text reads in full: <br> <br> "Messrs. A.G. Howard C.W. Philleo and others will address the Keystone Club at the Town Hall in Suffield on Saturday Eve'g Sept. 27 1856. We make the charge that the troubles in Kansas are encouraged and kept alive by the supporters of Freemont sic in the hope of gaining political capital. And we can prove the charge!" <br> <br> The text is headed by an American eagle gripping arrows and olive branch in the style of the Great Seal. OCLC records only two copies of this interesting broadside at the Connecticut Historical Society and Connecticut State Library. unknown books

These conservative Union stalwarts cannot stomach the American Party candidate Fillmore's association "with the supporters of aggression and outrage in Kansas and persisting in such votes after it had been irrefragably proven that the elections in Kansas had been carried by armed bodies of men from Missouri."

OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION HELD IN 1860 AT CHARLESTON AND BALTIMORE. PROCEEDINGS AT CHARLESTON APRIL 23 - MAY 3. Prepared and Published Under the Direction of John Parkhurst Recording Secretary
Cleveland: Nevins' Print Plain Dealer Job Office 1860. 188pp. Dbd. Ink pen trial on titlepage. Light wear in fore-edge of titlepage and upper margin of final text leaf. 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.
