London: T.R. Harrison 1843. 264pp. Dbd. Loosely stitched. Manuscript alternate page numbers very faint occasional foxing but overall a clean and crisp copy. A Parliamentary printing of documents relating to the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 negotiated principally by Daniel Webster and Lord Ashburton which resolved several boundary disputes between the United States and Canada. Foremost it determined the border between Maine and New Brunswick which had been the subject of growing local confrontations known informally as the Aroostook War. The treaty also agreed on crimes for which extradition was possible and notably neglected to include flight from slavery on that list. The documents contain correspondence between Webster and Asburton on both of those subjects as well as several letters discussing the Caroline affair in which a group of agitators for Canadian independence attacked an American steamboat on the Niagara River and sent it ablaze over the Falls in 1837.

Augusta 1863. Broadsheet 6-5/8" x 9". Caption title as issued. Each page printed in two columns. Some spotting Good.<br/><br/> "The voluntary enlistment of Veteran Regiments and the rapid organization of Negro Brigades in the South will amply recruit the tanks of the Union Armies." If the Administration's policies are "generously sustained by the free and loyal voters of the North" there will be no further draft. "But if the Administration is crippled hindered and embarrassed" in its recruiting another draft will be necessary. <br/> Bradbury the Copperhead candidate for Governor has promised to withdraw Maine's support for the War. If elected he will render inevitable "a fresh draft under the Conscription Act." Maine's Democrats seek deliberately to "precipitate a collision between Maine and the General Government." Men like Bradbury are "Jeff. Davis' Only Hope!"<br/>Not located on OCLC as of October 2017. unknown books
NP 1863. Broadsheet 7" x 6-1/2". Caption title as issued. Printed in two columns per page. Small piece torn from center of top blank margin where originally posted. Otherwise Very Good.<br/><br/> This Republican Party broadsheet opposes the Democrat Bradbury's 1863 candidacy for Governor of Maine. His speeches-- as a Congressman and as a previous candidate for Governor-- show him as a spineless flip-flopper. In 1862 he defended the war effort. In less than a year he became "a malignant Copperhead." A supporter quotes him that "with or without qualification he is opposed to the war" and that if elected Governor he would in concert with Governor Seymour of New York "withdraw the troops of Maine."<br/>Not located on OCLC as of October 2017. unknown books
