About this Item
[1], 4-16 pp, as issued. 10" x 6-3/4," on two folding unopened sheets. Spotting. Untrimmed and uncut. One small chip affects a couple of words. Good. At the bottom of page 16: "Committees will be furnished with this Pamphlet, at Two Dollars per hundred copies- at short notice. Packages can be safely forwarded by State to almost every part of this State." Connecticut's State Democratic Party supports Martin Van Buren in the 1836 presidential elections, and excoriates the Whig Party, which had recently organized in opposition to Jacksonian Democracy. The pamphlet warns of "the dangerous and pernicious tendencies of monopolies and special legislation," and the importance of maintaining "equal rights" and "principles of democracy." Whigs, like their Federalist ancestors, advocate "a preference of kingly over republican government." Page twelve begins a "Short Review of the Acts and Proceedings of the last General Assembly," emphasizing the monarchical tendencies of the opposition. The pamphlet concludes at page 16 with a satiric skewering of the Whigs: "The Shorter Catechism for the Use of 'Whig' Boys of All Ages." "Q. Who arrogate to themselves all the respectability, all the talents, all the morality, and all the religion in the land? A. The 'Whigs'." Not in Sabin, American Imprints, or on OCLC or the online sites of AAS, CT State Lib., as of November 2023. Seller Inventory # 39627
