Best.-Nr. 40447Washington DC: J. & G.S. Gideon n.y. Paperback. 8vo. Self-cover. 8pp. Very good. Lightly age toned; binding traces at margin; contemporary "39" in brown ink at upper right corner of first page. An attractive and clean-edged first edition of this attack on the Democratic eighth U.S. president undated but certainly published in 1848. After losing his bid for reelection to Whig candidate William Henry Harrison in 1840 Van Buren's opposition to Texas annexation in 1844 lost him the vote of pro-slavery Democrats and he failed to get the nomination and in 1848 the Free Soil Party gave him the nomination. Though his views had become more anti-slavery over the years this no-holds-barred criticism calls him "the great nucleus of the South and the greatest enemy of the free institutions of the North" -- among many less tactful labels. Quite a few of his letters are excerpted to show his support of slavery. This pro-Whig piece then warns supporters against being tempted to support Van Buren and stresses the advantages of Zachary Taylor "the honest man the true patriot the frank intelligent humane soldier and the man of the People" over Democratic candidate Lewis Cass "aggressive wars the resistance of the popular will the constant exercise of the veto the one man power the extension of slavery". Too secondary to warrant inclusion in Wise and Cronin. Not in Sabin. J. & G.S. Gideon paperback

"in American political contests the searching questions ought to be ever as to a candidate ’Is he honest is he capable Is He Faithful to the Constitution’ while an approach to any thing like the popery cry of the British Tory party or an appeal to a sect as such ought to be severely denounced as violative of the spirit of our institutions."

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.

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.
