1844 Henry Clay Campaign Lettersheet with Letter Complaining that Abolitionists Were Drawing Votes from the Whigs

1844Best.-Nr. List3860N.p. 1844. Folded letter on Henry Clay campaign lettersheet with portrait of Clay and printed caption: "And Frelinghuysen." Addressed to Mr. Joseph Griswold Benson Rutland County Vermont. Blue circular postmark and manuscript postage. Milgram No. HC-2 with listing example illustrated in James W. Milgram's Presidential Campaign Illustrated Envelopes and Letter Paper 1840-1872 p. 41. Light toning to address panel minor fold flaws; very good. A long 1844 letter from T. W. Goodrich to Joseph Griswold written on a Henry Clay campaign lettersheet during the presidential contest between Clay and James K. Polk. The printed lettersheet shows Clay's portrait with the caption "And Frelinghuysen" referring to Theodore Frelinghuysen Clay's Whig running mate. The letter opens with direct campaign content identifying the writer as a supporter of "the Harry of the West and his companion F-": "You see what a true Son of the Green Mountains sails under none other than the Harry of the West and his companion F-. Altho we accomplish nothing in this State we value our principals as much as any other set of men. Politics are raging high in these parts. Bets of good round sums are being made constantly. There is great exertions being made on both sides." Goodrich then gives the letter its strongest political passage complaining that abolitionists were gaining strength and drawing support away from the Whig ticket: "Our abolition friends are getting very strong in this State. They think in some counties they have made great gains from one election to another and hang them they are all from the Whig ranks or mostly so. If we had them with us we should carry the State. Then there would be one more bright star in the twenty six." The remainder of the letter turns to family visits courtship gossip local marriages schoolteaching music lessons and delays in correspondence. Goodrich teases Griswold about his interest in "Say" or Sarah closing with the advice to "not sigh oftener for her than she does for you. Sigh not but act." A good 1844 campaign lettersheet combining a printed Clay-Frelinghuysen design with manuscript political content on the Whigs abolitionist defections and the electoral consequences of antislavery politics. . unknown
