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.

Very Good. The broadside mocks the dissonance in the Democrats' 1864 presidential campaign. Candidate McClellan's acceptance speech supported a continued War Effort; but his Party's platform called for an end to the War. McClellan sitting backward on a jackass says "I am happy to say that -- the record of my public life was kept in view".

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
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."

1864Best.-Nr. 65929New York: National Union Executive Committee 1864. Scarce Anti-Copperhead Broadside A scarce anti-Copperhead broadside printed during the election of 1864 purporting to reveal "the real Chicago Platform" and providing excerpts from speeches given at the Democratic National Convention. The convention met in Chicago on August 29 1864 where the Copperheads quickly established dominance over the outnumbered War Democrats and established peace with the South at any cost as the core of their platform. McClellan accepted the nomination alongside staunch Copperhead George Pendleton despite his open opposition to the peace platform; this seeming hypocrisy was mercilessly lampooned by the opposition contributing to the abject failure of the joint War and Peace ticket. The present broadside presents statements made at the convention by "a number of distinguished Democratic orators" which they deem "sufficient to show the temper and purpose of all." Some choice excerpts include: "I love our Southern friends; they are a noble a brave and a chivalrous people cheers" Representative James S. Rollins of Missouri; "Show me a War Democrat to-day and I will show you a shoddy Abolitionist in disguise.He is a Judas and should be cast out as an enemy to humanity and to God.Soon the net is to be drawn that will gather in its half million more to feed the insatiable thirst for blood of the Negro God" J.A. McMaster arrested for libel at the start of the war; "If Democrats catch Lincoln's bloody satrap spies among them they must cut their damned throats that's all. Applause" Captain William J. Kountz known troublemaker and personal antagonist of General Grant dishonorably discharged in 1863; and "We are one and all for peace and with this magic word upon our banner we shall sweep over the course and roll into oblivion the black negro-loving negro-hugging worshippers of old Abe Lincoln" Isaiah Rynders Tammany Hall tough and former Know-Nothing. The broadside was clearly printed with intention of wide dispersal among potential Lincoln supporters with a noted price of "$1 per 100." The American Antiquarian Society reasonably suggests that this broadside was printed by the National Union Executive Committee of New York based on typographically similar items in their collection. A representative document from one of the nation's most fraught elections. Old folds. Light tanning and staining. Small holes at two cross-folds short closed tear to upper margin and left edge.

1864Best.-Nr. 68899New York: National Union Executive Committee Sept. 9 1864. National Union Party Denounces the Chicago Platform A scarce National Union Party circular from the 1864 presidential election responding to the infamous Democratic Nation Convention in Chicago and asserting that "every rebel organ in the rebel States or in foreign lands-- every hater of Democratic Freedom and the Rights of Man longs and labors for the overthrow of the Administration and the expulsion of Abraham Lincoln from the Presidential chair." The committee urges voters "not to arrest the blow which is just ready to descend upon the rebellion now tottering to its fall; not to give the rebels time to renew their strength for fresh conflicts; not to aid those who would aid them in overthrowing our Government in destroying our Union in plunging into a chaos of anarchy the great communities of which the Constitution makes one great and glorious nation and in thus extinguishing finally and forever the hopes of all who have faith in Freedom and the Rights of Man." The missive is signed in type by Henry J. Raymond as Chairman and twenty other members of the National Union Committee. Whether thanks to their extensive literature output or merely a reflection of the existing public will the National Union Party's aim was carried in 1864 by a historic margin with Lincoln winning over ninety percent of the electoral vote.

Sporadic browning occasional ink annotations to margins and text sympathetic repair of tear to title of second work. Tables of eligible electors and their respective votes for the Wiltshire county poll of 1772 between candidates Ambrose Goddard and Henry Herbert. The latter polled well on the August 18th opening only to rapidly lose the majority over the next four days as Goddard's supporters rolled in to secure superiority of over two votes to one. When the poll closed it was said that Goddard had a substantial number of voters left. Given that half of Herbert's supporters polled on day one when no oath had been taken the likelihood is that Goddard's victory was even more decisive than the final count suggests.

1864Best.-Nr. 63056New York: Currier & Ives 1864. Unlikely Running Mates Conjoined by "Party Ties" A rare Currier and Ives political print from the 1864 presidential election likening the unusual marriage of McClellan and his running mate Copperhead leader George Pendleton to the famous "Siamese twins" Chang and Eng Bunker. Chang and Eng first came to the United States in 1829 where their great popularity as a touring act gave birth to the phrase "Siamese twins" as a term for conjoined twins. After years of touring in Europe and America the pair settled down in North Carolina for over a decade before returning to the stage in the 1860s. Their renewed popularity and enduring cultural relevance are both evidenced by this election-year cartoon. "In the center McClellan left is attached to the side of his running mate by 'The Party Tie.' McClellan says apologetically to the two Union soldiers at his left 'It was not I that did it fellow Soldiers!! but with this unfortunate attachment I was politically born at Chicago!' The Democratic national convention took place in Chicago on August 29 1864. The soldier with his arm in a sling responds angrily 'Good bye little Mac' if thats your company! Uncle Abe gets my vote.' The soldier at far left says 'I would vote for you General if you were not tied to a "peace" Copperhead who says that Treason and Rebellion ought to triumph!!' Pendleton addresses the two 'Copperheads' at his right: Clement Laird Vallandigham author of the Democrats' peace plank and Horatio Seymour governor of New York and chairman of the Democratic national convention. Pendleton says 'I dont care how many letters Mac writes if it brings him votes; for every vote for him count one for me!!' Vallandigham concurs 'Yes Pen that's the only reason that I support the ticket; if you are elected both Jeff…and I will be triumphant!" Seymour far right replies 'With Pendleton as Vice; Val.secretary of State; Wood i.e. Fernando Wood an organizer of the Peace Democrats in the treasury and I Govr. of New-York we will have peace at any price the rebels "our friends" in this copy choose to ask for it'" – Reilly. Interestingly the copy described by Reilly differs slightly from the other recorded copies. In the Library of Congress copy Seymour refers to "the rebels" directly; in our copy and most others he instead refers to them as "our friends" in quotation marks alluding to his famous or infamous "My Friends" speech delivered during the New York draft riots. OCLC records copies only at the University of Michigan and Peabody Essex Museum though we locate additional copies at the Library of Congress Library Company of Philadelphia Princeton and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A rare and visually striking political cartoon evocative of the fraught 1864 election and contemporary popular culture. Light foxing and soiling. Closed tear in right edge into platemark but not touching illustration. Faint dampstain near center. Very good overall. REILLY 1864-19. PETERS CURRIER & IVES 1671.
