Harrisburg 1845. 16pp stitched untrimmed. Some spotting Good. <br/><br/> A rare pamphlet. Democrats denounce the "unnatural coalition of the Whigs and Native Americans and a few Democrats so called who have proved recreant to the principles of their party." <br/> This coalition elected Simon Cameron the Whig candidate to fill the vacancy left when Senator James Buchanan resigned to become President Polk's Secretary of State. That the Democratic candidate George Woodward lost is a "humiliating spectacle"-- "No promises or pledges were left untried to effect the object of an ambition that appeared to be limited to the object of promoting some personal purposes." Vice President Dallas and Buchanan decline to comment. <br/>FIRST EDITION. Not in AI Sabin Eberstadt Decker NUC. OCLC 41147354 2- Princeton Lancaster Cy Hist. Soc. as of January 2021. unknown books
