rif. 5149PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1840. ALS. 2pgs. November 18 1840. Cincinnati Ohio. An autograph letter signed J Burnet by Ohio lawyer and politician Jacob Burnet 1770-1853. It is addressed to James Dunlap of Pittsburg. Burnet replies to Dunlaps letter stating his concerns about Pennsylvania politics in light of the recent 1840 Presidential election in which William Henry Harrison defeated Martin Van Buren. Harrison would die only a month into his Presidency. Mentioning a schism at one point Burnet seems to anticipate the national divide that would eventually lead to the American Civil War although this may have referred to economic issues rather than the question of slavery: Dear Sir I have received your letter of the 12th inst and read it with interest. The matter it containsthe view you have taken of the state of parties in Penna are highly interesting and are certainly entitled to serious consideration. The mixture of parties of which you speak as having taken place in the late struggle can not as you observeThere is reason to fear that when the cause whichthe union the fruits of which we have just gathered shall warn so often at the repelling principlewill throw the parts from each other as far as they win before the conflict began unless something can be done to effect such a permanent combination as you refer to. I confess I now have understood the theory of partyas they have existed in and have agitated your state or the principles on which they have been found or by which they areI can however easilyschism may be the result of such an injudicious course on the part of theyou are anxious to prevent. It would give mow me great pleasure to be instrumental in preventing the wit you depict so strikingly were it in my power. I was known unequal to the task because I have no claims to the confidence of the General beyond those of his friends generally not because in addition to this I could not point him to the parties or the persons as to whom he ought to be on his guard. A frank communication from a confidential friend in Penna who understands the whole subject would receive the attention it deserves. An intelligent Pennacan communicate the specific information necessary to show him the danger and the mode of avoiding it. Advice or caution in a care like this to have its proper influence should come from the power of information. Your views on the subject of claims founded on services rendered in the late political contest are precisely those I entertain and express on all occasions and I have reason to believe the General looks on the subject though the same medium and views it in the same light. If our motives have been patriotic our labor has been done for the country and success is our only legitimate reward. If they have been personal they are not praiseworthy and ought not to be rewarded. I am confident that president elect views the matter in that light and that he does not feel personal obligations to any body on account of no part taken in the contest. If this be not so I have very much misunderstood his character. Yours very respectfully J Burnet. The letter is in very good condition with a loss to the back page that does not affect any content. A reminder of the eternal contention and controversy in American political elections. unknown

1824rif. 62431N.p. but likely New York. 1824. Rare Illustrated Anti-Jackson Broadside A very rare illustrated anti-Jackson broadside from the hotly-contested election of 1824 addressed to "manufacturers and mechanics." The presidential election of 1824 was a complicated four-candidate affair with frontrunners Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams trailed by Henry Clay and William Crawford each drawing considerable support in certain districts. In fact the race was so close that no candidate won a sufficient majority of the electoral vote and Adams was elected by the House of Representatives under the provisions of the Twelfth Amendment despite carrying four fewer states than Jackson and the glow of the "Era of Good Feeling" was dimmed once and for all. Addressed to "Manufacturers and Mechanics" this broadside focuses primarily on Jackson's economic policies specifically his anti-tariff stance. "If the Jackson Party prevail" the text proclaims "the next Congress will be opposed to the tariff to mechanics manufacturers and domestic industry.The consequence will be that the sound of the shuttle will no longer be heard. Our stores will be filled with British and Scotch ginghams shirtings checks and bed-ticks; and not a place will be found for a yard of American cloth.Don't suffer yourselves to be deceived by stories that General Jackson is your friend.What will his battle of New Orleans avail you if you are thrown out of employment and made beggars" Even Jackson's campaign materials they claim are made from British exports. The text seems targeted at a New York and New England audience pointing out South Carolina and "the southern section of the country" as the fervent opponents of domestic industry and warning readers not to be "the dupes of such men as William Coleman" owner of The New York Evening Post. Throughout the broadside maintains a strong anti-British stance and suggests that Jackson and his supporters including Coleman are better friends of Great Britain than America: "Coleman is the man who exulted when a British fleet lay off the Hook. The Evening Post was received wet from his office on board their ships every day. Nothing but respect for the laws prevented our incensed countrymen from demolishing the press and types that printed the diabolical treason." While the text espouses Henry Clay as the man of the hour "the truest ablest and best friend you ever had" the woodcut illustration places a ship named the "John Quincy Adams of Washington" front and center. It flies banners reading "Free Trade & Sailors Rights" and "No Colonial Subjection" and is flanked on either side by vignettes subtitled "National industry is National Wealth" and "Agriculture is the Source of Prosperity." Ironically the largest controversy in Jackson's presidency a decade later would be over his lack of action against tariffs when his failure to repeal Adams' 1828 "Tariff of Abominations" resulted in the Nullification Crisis and threats of civil war. We locate only one other copy of this broadside at the Library of Congress. A rare and interesting illustrated political broadside from a highly contentious election. Old folds minor splitting at right edge of central horizontal fold. Lightly tanned. Very good. REILLY AMERICAN POLITICAL PRINTS 1824-3. OCLC 299947334. hardcover

rif. 20018Printed for the Authoress" University of Oxford. 1852. . A lively Oxford spoof which can be dated precisely from the references to Marsham Gladstone and the coming General Election. In the General Election of July 1852 the Peelite Gladstone defeated the Conservative Marsham who had been put forward by 'the heads Protestants and protectionists'. A reference to German education is a nod towards the first Oxford University Commission whose report published in 1852 recommended that a switch to a more Germanic educational system. For the background see Brock and Curthoys 'History of the University of Oxford' vol. 6 1997. Printed in black on one side of a 31 x 19 cm. piece of wove paper. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. An announcement in the customary Victorian style of mixed typefaces and point sizes with a series of 'advertisements' printed one above the other. At bottom right: 'Printed for the Authoress.' Begins: 'Mrs. Harris' Commemoration Advertiser The Perfect Substitute for Reform. The Abolition of Dons: A single Trial will convince the most incredulous. The Metaphysical Syphonia Or invisible Wrapper warranted Reason proof and weighs nothing. Apply to the Marines. Il n'y a pas de prix fixe.' A number of quips follow including a dig at 'the Proctors' a list of five 'Candidates for vacant Professorships' the last: 'Practical Electioneering . All the Fellows of Ln.' a fake advertisement for a new book titled 'The Freshman's Vade-Mecum'. The next section refers to the recommendation of the Oxford University Commission that the University follow the German mode of education: 'A Professor Not unequal as he trusts to the educational requirements of the 19th Century has a vacancy for One Pupil. He engages that in six months his fond parents shall not know him from a GERMAN STUDENT. N.B. Duelling extra.' Next there is another spoof advertisement for a book this one titled 'Weathercockiana or the Gladstone of the Future.' Then there comes: 'PRIZE ESSAY Open to all Masters of Arts who have not Graduated in Honours; and to be awarded when Dr. Marsham is returned for the University “On the best means of reconciling the Duties of a Head of a House with those of a Member of Parliament.”' A couple more joke announcements end the spoof. Presumably "Mrs Harris" is inspired by the non-appearing character in Dickens' "Martin Chuzzlewit". From the papers of Rev. Dr Richard Harington Principal of Brasenose College Oxford. No other copy traced either on OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC. Printed for the Authoress" [ University of Oxford. 1852. ] unknown
