1844réf. 66208Concord: Hill & Moore November 9 1844. New Hampshire Democrats Celebrate Polk's Victory An ebullient "Extra" issue of the staunchly Democratic New Hampshire Patriot & Daily Gazette celebrating the not-quite-confirmed victory of James K. Polk in the 1844 presidential election. Published by lifelong Democratic partisan and former New Hampshire governor Isaac Hill the New Hampshire Patriot was a long-running political newspaper in that stronghold of Northern Democracy and this illustrated extra issue printed on Saturday November 9 displays the extent to which the editors and indeed the people of Concord rejoiced at the news. The main headline "New York Speaks!!!" refers to the pivotal flip of New York state from Whig to Democrat a fact which when combined with the expected news of a comfortable victory in Virginia more or less clinched the victory for Polk despite the results being out on several other states. While the optimistic figures in this article report a whopping majority for Polk in reality the Democrats won New York by a narrow margin of just one percent. A short article following this news offhandedly reports on a fatal local celebration noting that "A most shocking casualty occurred in Concord last evening while the democrats were celebrating the triumph of Polk and Dallas in New York by the firing of cannon. Mr. John L. Haynes of this town one of the officers of the Columbian Artillery had his left arm almost entirely blown off his right arm dreadfully shattered and his face shockingly burned in the act of ramming down a cartridge. The discharge took place in consequence of the vent not being stopped in the excitement and hurry of the firing." At the top of the central column a small cartoon depicts a man with an oversized steak knife and glass of wine declaring "That roast beef fetch it on!-and them 'two dollars a day!'" referencing William Henry Harrison's 1840 campaign slogan of "Harrison two dollars a day and roast beef." The remainder of the text reports the election results by county in New Hampshire which voted for Polk by a margin of nearly nineteen percent including votes for the ballot issues "On amending Constitution" and "On abolishing capital punishment." An entertaining and ephemeral piece printed at the culmination of a pivotal election. Old folds. Light tanning a few small chips and tears at edges. Very good. BRIGHAM p.444. unknown books

réf. 003646Stourbridge: Mellard Printer Single sided broadside approximately 455mm x 285mm in size no place but probably Stourbridge and no date but 1859. A couple of small chips small hole to top left hand corner two closed tears to bottom edge slightly creased but generally in good order. Printed on blue paper the broadside relates to the 1859 by-election in Worcester East contested between the Whig Frederick Gough-Calthorpe and the Tory Sir John Pakington 2nd Baron Hampton where Gough-Calthorpe was elected with a majority of 339. This is an anti-Pakington broadside noting his personalisation of the campaign "The 'Printer's Devil' has exhausted his stock of I's" and quoting a newspaper article calling him a "bigoted Puseyite". The printer was probably Thomas Mellard of Stourbridge not located in BBTI who died in 1861. Not in Library Hub. First Edition. Unbound. Good. Elephant Folio. Broadside. Mellard [Printer] paperback
