1856ref. 63167New York: Nathaniel Currier 1856. Fremont as an Overland Explorer for the Presidency A cutting satirical cartoon aimed at the great western explorer John C. Fremont and his main supporters in his 1856 bid for the White House. Fremont was the Republican nominee for the presidency and ran on an anti-slavery platform. He was backed by New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley and radical abolitionist minister Henry Ward Beecher. In the image Fremont rides a horse - called the "abolition nag" - that has the face of Greeley. Fremont says "This is pretty hard riding - but if he only carries me to the White house in safety I will forgive my friends for putting me astride of such a crazy Old Hack." The horse is led toward the Salt River a metaphor for political disaster by leading Republican William Seward who proclaims that "Which ever road I travel always brings me to this confounded river I thought we had a sure thing this time on the Bleeding Kansas dodge." Mountains in the background are identified as Kansas and Nebraska. The Greeley-headed horse addresses Seward: "Seward it seems to me we are going the same Road we did in 'fifty two' but as long as you lead I'll follow if I 'go it blind.'" Henry Ward Beecher who was known to have furnished antislavery emigrants with firearms to participate in the Kansas struggles follows behind Fremont's horse his arms laden with rifles. A mountain man - evoking Fremont's exploring past - cautions the Pathfinder: "Ah! Colonel - you've got into a bad crowd - you'll find that dead Horse on the prairie is better for the Constitution than Abolition Soup or Wooly head stew in the White house." The embossed seal to the bottom left corner is that of F.A. Caspari of Baltimore "Dealer in Books & Stationery." This print is scarce. The Currier & Ives catalogue raisonné locates only the copies at the Chicago Historical Society and the Library of Congress. OCLC adds only two copies one at the American Antiquarian Society and another at the University of Rochester. A fine satirical print of John Fremont and his abolitionist supporters in the 1856 presidential election. Light even tanning lightly foxed. Old vertical fold running the length of right edge.

1848ref. 19495np 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."

1848ref. 20489Washington 1848. 8pp printed in double columns caption title as issued. Disbound else Very Good. A scarce 1848 campaign pamphlet attacking Whig presidential candidate Zachary Taylor who "has no political principles and is perfectly ignorant upon political matters." On the burning issue of the Wilmot Proviso-- whether slavery ought to exist in the territories acquired from Mexico-- Taylor is a hypocrite: "At the North he is represented to be in favor of the Wilmot Proviso." But "at the South his advocates contend that he is opposed.because he is a southern man and a slaveholder and therefore identified with southern interests." A Louisiana slaveholder Taylor surprised everyone after his election when he supported immediate statehood for California with its anti-slavery Constitution. Wise & Cronin 44 Taylor.
