1852ref. 18550np. 1852. Disbound with some loosening 8pp. Printed in double columns. Caption title as issued. Light tan and wear Good. 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." 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.
