First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Paperback. First Edition. The Whig Party died before the 1856 elections, killed by the Sectional Crisis. Where would the Party faithful go? To Fillmore, the former Whig Vice President, now running on the American [Know-Nothing] ticket? To Buchanan, the candidate of the Democrats, the only remaining national party? Or to Fremont, the first standard-bearer of the new Republican Party? These Maryland Whigs warn their constituents to stay away from the Republicans: "The triumph of sectionalism the death-knell of the Union." Avoidance of "northern or southern fanaticism" requires Whigs to "rebuke sectional fanaticism, and preserve our country ." The American Party advocates an unseemly religious bigotry and, in any event, Fillmore is a throw-away vote. Lovers of the Union -- like the great Whig Henry Clay, were he alive today -- must therefore vote for Buchanan. Off-white paper wrappers with black title to front wrapper. Scattered light soiling and foxing throughout, but clean overall. 16 pages. AMER/060722.

16pp, double columns, disbound and lightly worn. Good+. "Old Line Whigs," descendants of the Henry Clay-Daniel Webster Party favoring a national government active in commercial affairs, had nowhere obvious to go in 1856: their own Party had been destroyed by the Sectional Crisis; the new Republican Party was, in their view, a threat to the beloved Union; and the anti-Catholic bias of the emerging American Party was disgusting to many of them. This pamphlet urges them to vote for Buchanan: his Democratic Party is the only nationwide political organization remaining: disunion will result from its defeat. Sabin 59432n. LCP 7286.

30pp, disbound. Lightly soiled, light scattered foxing. A few pages clipped at bottom edge with loss of final line at affected pages. Very Good. This campaign document charges Republicans with stirring up "wild exciitement" in Kansas for their own political benefit. The Democrats refuse "to undertake to determine why the God of nature made the African inferior to the white man; or why He permitted England to fasten the institution of slavery upon the colonies against their repeated and earnest remonstrances. Nor can we tell what Heaven in its wisdom may intend to work out of the relations of master and slave." This item supports Pierce Administration policies in the Kansas-Nebraska struggle, supports popular sovereignty, and urges the decisive defeat of the Republicans. FIRST EDITION. Sabin 35271.

16pp, stitched, caption title [as issued]. Small institutional rubberstamp, else Very Good. This campaign document shows the drift of northern Know-Nothings, formerly Whigs, to the new Republican Party. These conservative Union stalwarts cannot stomach the American Party candidate Fillmore's association "with the supporters of aggression and outrage in Kansas, and persisting in such votes, after it had been irrefragably proven that the elections in Kansas had been carried by armed bodies of men from Missouri." Moreover, despite wild charges, it has never been satisfactorily shown that Fremont is a Roman Catholic [a sure disqualifier in mid-19th century America]. FIRST EDITION. Not in Sabin or Eberstadt.

Folded, old binder holes in blank inner margin. 16pp. Light wear and tan. Good+ to Very Good. A wild anti-Fremont attack, charging that Republicans have violated "the most solemn treaties of the United States with the Indians," and have sought "to stop the wheels of government, stir up strife and discord in the country, and produce anarchy and violence in Kansas." This Democratic pamphlet asserts, "The last and only hope of the Fremont men consists in blood, violence, and murder in Kansas." FIRST EDITION. Sabin 68197.

16pp, disbound. Scattered foxing. Good+. A Democratic presidential campaign pamphlet. It charges that during the brief time that Fremont, "the Black Republican candidate for the Presidency," was a U.S. Senator his votes-- opposing the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia-- showed him "to be a most ultra pro-slavery man." The hypocritical Republicans "use the language of patriotism and of love for the Union.whilst their votes, their acts, and their organization, lead only to a dissolution, and all the evils that must follow." The Know-Nothings are just as bad: they "have waged a cruel and relentless war upon foreigners and members of the Roman Catholic church. These classes have been proscribed." Moreover, "Abolitionism and Know-nothingism were allies." FIRST EDITION. LCP 3837. 112 Eberstadt 150(d). Not in Sabin, Decker, Miles.

"Principally of his frauds in the purchase of horses in 1846 and 1847, while disbursing officer in California." Cowan. "Carelessness, recklessness, favoritism, and connivance with the claimants." That's the verdict on Fremont.

8pp. Caption title, as issued. Disbound. Good+. In this election year the Democrat Barksdale examines the competition and finds it wanting. The Know Nothing [American] Party "is an oath-bound organization. It fetters the limbs, seals the lips, and ties the tongue of its initiates," all in the service of discriminating against immigrants, "many of them among our most industrious and enterprising citizens." As for the "Black Republican" party, "it sails under a black piratical flag." Pugh similarly warns against the Republican threat to the maintenance of the Union.

24pp. Caption title, as issued. Stitched, untrimmed, curled or lightly chipped at blank extremities. Printed in two columns per page. Very Good. Opposing the Republican Party and John C. Fremont's bid for the presidency, this pamphlet charges that "Black Republican members of Congress" sought "to drive out pro-slavery settlers from Kansas, which has resulted in the recent scenes of violence and bloodshed there." Proof of the charge is found in the published proceedings of the Emigrant Aid Society, as well as other documents. The Republicans' purpose "of getting up a war in Kansas" is "to help elect Fremont. For, the greater the disturbance in Kansas, the more clear would be the apparent 'villainy' of repealing the Missouri compromise." The proceedings "of the Black Republican Abolition Convention that nominated Fremont" furnish further proof of the charge. The Conspiracy -- including participation by the "Coal-Black Republicans"-- is examined in all its details. Not in Sabin or LCP, although there are a number of institutional locations.
No binding. Condition: Very Good. Printed Document. The Fearful Issue to Be Decided in November Next! Shall the Constitution and the Union Stand or Fall? Fremont, The Sectional Candidate of the Advocates of Dissolution! Buchanan, The Candidate of Those Who Advocate One Country! One Union! One Constitution! and One Destiny! 1856. 24 pp., 5 x 8 1/2 in. "What a Combination! Seward, Greeley, Bennet, Watson Webb, H. Ward Beecher, &c. There can be no doubt that this goodly company will speedily be increased by the addition of Fred. Douglass and his black republicans. The only candidate to arrest this tide of demoralization and sectionalism, is James Buchanan."This pro-Buchanan election of 1856 pamphlet attacks the first Republican presidential candidate, John C. Frémont. Quoting from the speeches and writings of William Lloyd Garrison, Horace Greeley, Wendell Phillips, Salmon P. Chase, Henry Ward Beecher, William H. Seward, Joshua R. Giddings, this pamphlet ignores distinctions between abolitionists, racial egalitarians, more limited opponents just of the expansion of slavery into the territories, or those who fought the kidnapping of free African Americans under the Fugitive Slave Law. It paints all with the same broad brush as "Black Republican" extreme abolitionists who were willing to destroy the Union rather than remain in it with slaveholders. Excerpts:[Before Title:] "Read and hand to your Neighbor.""We propose showing by indubitable testimony that John C. Fremont's leading friends are now the open enemies of the Federal Constitution. the enemies of one-half of the States of the Union; the enemies of the laws of Congress; and the enemies to equality of the States." (3)"In a speech delivered at the New England Anti-Slavery Convention on the 29th of May, 1856, by Wm. Lloyd Garrison, we have a flood of light shed on the relation between abolitionism and republicanism, which divests the subject of all doubt or uncertainty." (4)"William H. Seward was known at the Abolition Convention, at Philadelphia. as one of Fremont's warmest supporters. Indeed, it is well known that to Chase, Seward, and Greeley, Fremont is mainly indebted for his nomination: they defeated McLean." (7)"Nathaniel P. Banks, Abolitionist and Disunionist, was elected Speaker of the House by a solid sectional vote: he did not get one vote from the South.No man has exhibited such ferocious hostility to the fugitive slave law, to the compromise measures, and to the Federal Constitution. His speeches, full of treason and of war, would fill a volume." (8 and 9)"Every leading committee has an Abolition Disunionist for chairman, and a Disunion majority! There some thirty-five committees in the House. Black Republicans monopolized all the great committees. Thus was the work of Disunion formally begun in the Congress of the United States! This monstrous act, unprecedented in all our history, was the deliberate work of the men who now surround Fremont." (10)"The reverend agitator, Ward Beecher, is out for Fremont, in the last number of his 'Independent.' He is, probably, next to Garrison and Phillips, the most profligate calumniator of the Constitution and the Union." (19)"What a Combination! Seward, Greeley, Bennet, Watson Webb, H. Ward Beecher, &c. There can be no doubt that this goodly company will speedily be increased by the addition of Fred. Douglass and his black republicans. Every Black Republican in Congress, from New York, is now the earnest advocate of Fremont." (20)"We aver that there is not an Abolitionist or Disunionist in Pennsylvania who is not an active and open friend of John C. Fremont for the Presidency. David Wilmot and William F. Johnston lead the motley crew, both recreants from the Democratic party, because the Democratic party respected the Constitution of the United States, and would not desert its injunctions. The only candidate to arrest this tide of demoralization and sectionalism, is James Buchanan. It is against him and agains. (See website for full description). Printed Document.
