1848Best.-Nr. 38209Boston: Eastburn's Press 1848. 4 pp. Folded bifolium. Very Good. A scarce Whig 1848 campaign pamphlet prints Taylor's letters assuring wary northerners that this Louisiana planter and slaveowner could be trusted with the Nation's destiny. Taylor says he is "not engaged to lay violent hands indiscriminately upon public officers good or bad who may differ in opinion with me. I am not expected to force Congress by the coercion of the veto to pass laws to suit me or pass none. I would not be a partisan President." He says "I am a Whig but not an ultra Whig."

1848Best.-Nr. 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.

1852Best.-Nr. 26314Boston: Beals Greene & Co. 1852. Disbound 24pp printed in double columns. Light wear Very Good. The 1852 presidential campaign pitting the Democrat Pierce against the Whig Scott featured an unseemly competition for the votes of Irish Catholic immigrants. Whigs who were at a disadvantage in this contest charged Pierce with being an anti-Catholic bigot. "The object of the Scott politicians in making the charge of intolerance at this time against General Pierce is to obtain the Catholic vote. It is an appeal to a SECT IN RELIGION to get its members to vote a certain way in POLITICS." This pamphlet rebuts the charge demonstrating that Pierce supported extending equal rights to Catholics in New Hampshire via constitutional amendment. Not in Sabin Miles Eberstadt Decker. OCLC lists a number of institutional copies. Beals, Greene & Co. unknown
1852Best.-Nr. 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.

Best.-Nr. 003684Edinburgh: Alexander Dunbar Single sided printed broadside approximately 175mm 410mm in size n.d. but 1835. Lightly browned slightly creased one or two tiny nicks to edges but generally fairly bright. The printer Alexander Dunbar doesn't appear in the SBTI but is possibly the son of the Alexander Dunbar fl. 1763 mentioned as a 'running stationer' ie. street hawker of books and pamphlets in the SBTI. The broadside is a satire on the Conservative candidates James Andrew Broun-Ramsay and John Learmonth who were comfortably defeated in the Edinburgh election of 1835 by the Whigs John Campbell and James Abercromby. Abercromby later became speaker of the House of Commons and then a lord and his seat was then won by Thomas Babington Macauley. NLS only in JISC. First Edition. Unbound. Good. Elephant Folio.
