This is one of three 1828 issues all scarce printed in the heated presidential race of that year. Anti-Jackson forces charged that his unrestrained martial personality-- highlighted by executing six militia men after the Battle of New Orleans-- unfitted him for the presidency. New York Democrats defend Jackson denounce the falsehoods surrounding that incident and call the official record of the inquiry "useless rubbish." Howes J4. Wise & Cronin 232. Sabin 56778.

1828réf. 56513N.p. 1828. A Very Rare Broadsheet Attack on Andrew Jackson in 1828 A rare broadside recounting Andrew Jackson's infamous execution of Private John Woods published in 1828 by Jackson's opponents during the 1828 election. There was considerable mud-slinging between the Jackson and Adams camps during that campaign which eventually saw the defeat of incumbent John Quincy Adams and the election of Andrew Jackson. This dense broadside recounts the events of March 1814 at Fort Strother during the Creek Campaign when Jackson charged John Woods an eighteen-year-old militiaman with disobedience disrespect and mutiny. According to the text the trial itself only occurred because Jackson's soldiers would not shoot Woods at the moment of the offense despite Jackson's cries to "Shoot the damned rascal!.blow ten balls through the damned rascal!" The court martial followed soon after; Woods was found guilty and sentenced to die. Some testimonies here state that Jackson offered to spare Woods' life if he would enlist in the regular army but Woods refused; others disagree. He was executed thirty-six hours later. Then follows the sworn testimony of several witnesses: Thomas Couch Robert Ferguson Samuel Hanna George A. Brock Isaac Roberts James Harris William Stewart Joseph Alexander Isaac Anderson Abm. Whitney and John Williams all fellow soldiers of Woods who witnessed or had personal knowledge of the facts in the case. Their accounts of Woods' supposed mutiny substantially downplay the severity of Woods' disobedience suggesting that it was likely a misunderstanding; they also emphasize the draconian nature of the punishment and make several mentions of Woods' aging and infirm parents. Williams' account closes: "It is not true that Woods on the ground of Execution with oaths and defiance refused to promise obedience. On the contrary he wept loud and bitterly." All of the testimonies are datelined in Tennessee in the first few months of 1828. The nature of the printing lends itself to the possibility of a Tennessee press. Though not as famous as the "Coffin Handbills" that appeared at the same time listing Woods' execution among many other crimes by Jackson this was definitely addressed to the same audiences. John Spencer Bassett in his Life of Andrew Jackson notes that the "execution of mutinous militiamen in the campaigns of 1813 and 1814 was recalled to show Jackson's ferocious temper; and when a Philadelphia editor published a hand-bill showing a coffin with the victims standing by its side the idea was caught up eagerly and repeated in all parts of the country." Not in Wise & Cronin and we could find no listing for this broadside in OCLC or in American Imprints. It has only appeared at auction twice and then not since 1925 when Anderson Galleries offered a copy as part of the sale of the Henry De Puy collection which was strong in Andrew Jackson material. The only copy in the trade seems to be one offered by the Eberstadts in 1939. Broadsheet 19 x 9 inches text printed in two columns on both sides. Old folds some chips to edges minor loss to upper left corner and closed tear to bottom edge no text affected. Two small holes affecting just one word a few areas of soiling light foxing even tanning. Manuscript annotations to verso. About very good. unknown

1848réf. 6729Washington: Towers 1848. 8pp disbound else Very Good with caption title as issued. A Whig attack on Michigan Senator Cass the Democrats' 1848 presidential nominee. His "love of the people's money" is evidenced by his expense vouchers-- printed here-- as Secretary of Indian Affairs. The failure of the Seminole campaign resulted from his "incompetency" as Secretary of War. He is "an old Federalist who denies his ancestry."

1864réf. 63169New York: Published by Currier & Ives 1864. A Political Cartoon Exposing McClellan's Hypocrisy A rare Currier and Ives print from the presidential election of 1864 satirizing the Democratic presidential candidate and former general George B. McClellan as an equivocating hypocrite. As Neely and Holzer explain the presidential campaign of 1864 inspired a flurry of "separate-sheet display cartoons: thought-provoking witty but often cruel lampoons that struck hard at the most divisive political and personal issues of 1864. In these cartoons one can see illustrated vividly the raw toughness of the campaign as well as the skill of the artists who covered it." These prints they note could be "vicious: personal mean-spirited cruel race-baiting and divisive" and in this context McClellan "the military man now running on a peace platform made for one obvious target." The image here shows a two-faced McClellan at center standing atop rickety planks - a literal representation of the Democratic party's Chicago peace platform - and holding a copy of his letter of acceptance. The planks are supported precariously at each corner on the shoulders of four figures: Confederate president Jefferson Davis; New York congressman and prominent Copperhead Fernando Wood; another Copperhead and the author of the Chicago platform Clement Vallandigham; and "Jeffs friend" the devil. Standing on opposite sides of the image are representatives of each of the constituencies to whom the two-faced McClellan is pandering: a uniformed "Union Soldier" and a "Peace Democrat" caricatured here as a club-wielding simian Irishman. From the face addressing the Peace Democrat McClellan says "You see my friend I accept the nomination and of course stand on the platform" to which the Peace Democrat replies "All right General! if yere in favor of resistin the draft killing the Nagurs and pace wid the Southerners I'll knock any man on the head that'll vote aginye." From his other face addressing the Union soldier McClellan contradicts himself saying "If you don't like the Platform I refer you to my letter of acceptance" a copy of which McClellan holds in his and which reads "War! - preservation Union - could not look my gallant Comrades in the - face; ---" The soldier says "Its no use General! you can't stand on that platform and come that blarney over me; I smell brimstone!" Below McClellan the devil speaking to Jefferson Davis gives expression to the futility of the lost cause: "Well Jeff it's no use trying to hold up this rickety old platform I guess I'll leave you to your fate!" Davis says in reply "I'm in a pretty fix! Weldon road gone!! Atlanta taken!!! Mobile Forts surrendered!!!! Early licked!!!!! and now when my last hope is in keeping up this platform and getting Mac elected you who led me into the scrape threaten to leave me!!!!!" Meanwhile an exasperated Vallandingham exclaims "Confound that letter! I've a good mind to bolt and let the whole concern go to a smash!" Fernando tries to reassure his fellow Copperhead: "Hold on Val. don't you see it's only his little game to ring in the war men if he is elected he is bound to carry out our policy and nothing else!" The image mocks the seeming hypocrisy of McClellan a military man running on his war record who has just accepted the nomination of a party whose platform calls for an end to the war even as the candidate himself expresses his support for the war in his acceptance letter. Reilly notes that the cartoon was probably drawn by the prolific artist Louis Maurer. This print is scarce. The Currier & Ives catalogue raisonné locates only the copies at the Chicago Historical Society and the Library of Congress. OCLC locates another two copies at the time of cataloguing one at the Ohio History Center and another at the Clements Library. We find additional copies at the American Antiquarian Society the Library Company of Philadelphia and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

A Republican campaign pamphlet arguing that the triumph of the 'Solid South' would impoverish the country. Southerners have "the conceit of political sagacity. It is their boast that this country will never be properly governed until Southern statesmanship shall again bear sway." But when the numbers are crunched the South has lagged behind the North in every index of economic prosperity. The Solid South's share of the "commercial industrial financial and educational interests of the country" is disproportionately small. Its pretensions to "dictate the course of the National Government" is absurd. OCLC locates 12 under two accession numbers. unknown
