1864rif. 3721N.p. but most likely Newark N.J. 1864. Good plus. Letterpress broadside printed in two columns 16.5 x 10 inches. Old folds small chip to top outer margin two tiny holes affecting just a few letters. A very rare Unionist broadside supporting the re-election of Abraham Lincoln in the critical presidential contest of 1864. The present broadside was authored in early June 1864 by New Jersey Republican Party stalwart Horace N. Congar an editor diplomat and politician who was at that time serving as U.S. consul to Hong Kong. In this rather stirring broadside which Congar writes from his position in Hong Kong he lauds "the thousands of earnest faithful men who are giving freely of their blood and treasure to the suppression of this infamous rebellion" and "the noble daring the undaunted courage and the determined valour of our brave soldiers of Freedom" and urges that "in November New Jersey will stand in the unbroken rank of States giving their verdict for the Party of Union." He also spends considerable space discussing the clear role of "the social moral and political evil" of slavery as the precipitating event of the Civil War. Congar writes that "the evil it has wrought was as natural as the poisoned breath of the Upas tree." Stated clearly Congar writes "I heartily rejoice at the destruction of slavery" and looks forward to the time when "I shall tread my native land with a newer life if within its boundless domain there shall not be heard the clanking chain or the cry of the suffering and the oppressed." "Horace Newton Congar 1817-1893 was a radical republican politician during the midnineteenth century and served on both the state and national levels. Mr. Congar had a great love for his party and hope for its success which is reflected in his writing . Horace Newton Congar was born in Newark on July 31 1817. He married Isabell Reeves and had two children; a daughter Ella and a son Horace Junior. Horace Congar taught school for a while and he studied law in his leisure time. He was admitted to the New Jersey State Bar in 1847 and later Cornelius Boice of Plainfield and Lewis Grove of Newark were his law partners. Congar was a friend of the abolitionist cause and he was one of the founders of the antislavery Free Soil Party in New Jersey. The party slogan 'Free Soil Free Speech Free Labor and Free Men' basically described the party platform. Congar later became a delegate from New Jersey to the Republican National Convention in 1848 which was held in Buffalo. He supported the nomination of Van Buren for president and Adams for vice-president" - New Jersey Historical Society.

1807rif. 42326London: Pubd May 1807 by Walker No. 7 Cornhill 1807. Broadside 9-5/8" x 13-1/2". Hand-colored satirical etching. Minimal edgewear with the bottom left blank corner chipped minor toning and dustsoiling. Very Good. The scene is Covent Garden a satire of the 1807 Westminster election. A rowdy political gathering with crowds of spectators and in the foreground the "Wimbledon Showman" stands to the right holding a stilt with his right hand representing John Horne Tooke a radical British politician and philologist who lived in Wimbledon. The "Puppet" to the left balancing on the stilt inscribed "Divisions of Purley" is Sir Francis Burdett a wealthy radical politician running for Parliament. Burdett shouts "Huzza - Liberty and Independence!!!" Tooke acts as the puppet master steering the election and looks sideways towards the spectator saying "The finest puppet in the world Gentlemen - entirely of my own formation I have only to say the word and he'll do anything." He holds his hat in his left hand and a letter sticking out of his coat pocket reads "To the Editor of the Times" a reference to his actual letter to the Times in 1807 which went on to be printed in London by Wood and Innes highlighting the heavy media manipulation surrounding the early 19th-century British elections. Burdett balancing atop the stilt symbolizes that his political platform is precarious and supported entirely by Tooke's orchestration. The print satirizes the 1807 Westminster election. George M.

Of the 380 constituencies 102 27 per cent were contested. The slogan of 'No Popery' was widely used by supporters of the Portland ministry against the friends of the late government who failed to find an effective riposte. The most eye-catching election occurred in Westminster where the patrician radical Sir Francis Burdett backed by local tradesmen activists under the direction of the Charing Cross tailor Francis Place was returned at the head of the poll on a 'purity of election' platform."

Two days before the general election on 2 May 1807 a bitter duel took place between Burdett and James Paull his opponent who was up for reelection. Paull won the duel but neither man was fatally injured and Burdett went on to win with 5134 votes to Paull's 269.

An imaginary dream of Jack Downing a comic Yankee character created in the 1830s by Seba Smith has Lincoln and some of his supporters and cabinet members as a band of undertakers about to inter the Constitution. "In 1862 displeased by Attorney General Edward Bates's slowness in enforcing the Conspiracies Act the President took matters into his own hands and issued a proclamation 'directing trial by court martial or military commissions of all persons who impeded the draft discouraged enlistments or committed other disloyal acts.' Around thirty-eight thousand people were arrested denied the right of habeas corpus and held in jail until brought to trial. This heavy-handed act provides the fuel for the artist's attack here. "Secretary Stanton is shown driving a hearse 'War Democracy' drawn by four horses with the heads of War Democrats left to right: John Cochrane Benjamin F. Butler Thomas Francis Meagher and Daniel S. Dickinson. Secretary Stanton says 'My jackasses had a load but they pull'd it through bravely. Cochrane: 'I pull for the side that pays the best always.'

1856rif. 40822New York: New York Tribune 1856. Caption title as issued 16pp. Disbound and wear. Good. After the Whig Party collapsed under the weight of the Sectional Crisis keen competition emerged among Democrats Republicans and Know-Nothings Americans for the support of its erstwhile members. This pamphlet urges anti-slavery Whigs to vote for the new Republican Party which fielded its first presidential candidate this year. A close examination of Fillmore's record particularly as Zachary Taylor's vice president reveals that he was no friend of that Whig President. Political expediency has caused him to trim his anti-slavery views: he is now a reliable ally of the South.

1844rif. 39908Towanda PA 1844. Folio broadside 10-1/8" x 21." Printed in four columns each column separated by a rule. Light to moderate foxing light wear. Good. Signed in type at the bottom by thirty disillusioned local Democrats. Towanda is the county seat of Bradford County the residence of many of the signers including Judge Edward Herrick the first signer. This evidently unrecorded broadside illustrates the impending split in the Democratic Party along sectional lines over the issue of slavery. The signers are "steadfast" Democrats distraught that their Party has nominated James K. Polk of Tennessee as its 1844 presidential candidate. Polk known as the "Dark Horse" candidate "was thrust upon the party as the candidate by the intrigues and management of the NULLIFIERS! italics in original. The instructions and pledges of the delegates were disregarded and Mr. V. Buren and the Democratic party betrayed!" Clay "a statesman of the first order" has always sought to advance the national interest as opposed to parochial concerns. The signers defend his support of protective tariffs and the American System. They applaud his opposition to the annexation of Texas and his warnings that a war with Mexico would result in an expansion of the "odious" system of slavery. Not in Sabin or American Imprints.

McMahon as witness. Inner edge is irregular. Closed tear no loss repaired expertly at blank bottom margin. Very Good.

"Watkins betts Swoope Ten Bales Cotton of Best quality weighing Five Hundred Pounds Each on each State in the union 26 in number that Van Buren will receive a majority of the Electoral votes in the contest now pending between Van Buren and Wm. H. Harrison for the Presidency." In case that's not entirely clear "The true intent and meaning of the parties is that Watkins risks Ten Bales Cotton in each State in the Union in favour of Van Buren and every state that Van Buren receives a majority of the Electoral votes." The bet is made on the electoral vote of each State. Watkins risking in favor of Van Buren & Swoope in favor of Harrison. . . The cotton to be delivered in Courtland to the winning party in five parcels annually for five years commencing on the 1st day of January 1841." A calculation of States and bales can be seen at the bottom left corner in pencil. Robert Herndon Watkins 1782-1855 was a farmer in Courtland. Jacob Kuhn Swoope 1800-1841 partnered with his two brothers in the successful Courtland mercantile firm of J & J Swoope in Courtland. John T.

1838rif. 38949New York: H.R. Robinson 1838. Oblong lithograph broadside 13-1/4" x 20." Shallow blank left margin chips from a prior mounting. Light outer margin darkening. A clean image signed 'Blanks fecit' perhaps Edward Williams Clay. Very Good. A satiric commentary on thwarted Democratic hopes to control New York City. Whigs dashed Democratic expectations in the New York municipal elections of spring 1838. Successful Whig mayoral candidate Aaron Clark holds and restrains two horses by their tails: 'Stop my good fellows you are going on a fools errand you are counting your chickens before they are hatched'." His victory has delayed if not destroyed Loco Foco hopes of political dominance. On the right a Loco Foco supporter in the garb of a carman or driver sits on a horse and tries to ride toward Albany to fulfill his ambitions: 'Marcy must resign in my favor and I'll be next Governor myself for this job!' Reilly suggests the man is either Isaac Varian the Loco Foco mayoral candidate or Democratic Congressman C.C. Cambreling. On the left a uniformed Jacksonian Democrat sits on his horse. He wants to go to Washington: 'I shall insist on Matty's making me next Collector.' He is probably Tammany leader Jesse Hoyt who indeed was successful in his quest to be Collector of the Port of New York. Reilly 1838-11. Weitenkampf 52.
