About this Item
24pp. Stitched in original printed brown wrappers [a couple of shallow edge dings]. Light to moderate foxing, Good+. This pro-Taylor pamphlet prints "General Taylor's letter to Captain Allison, Baton Rouge, April 22, 1848." The Letter announces his consent "to the use of my name as a candidate for the Presidency." He admits, "whilst I have great cardinal principles which will regulate my political life, I am not sufficiently familiar with the minute details of political legislation, to give solemn pledges. . ." This pamphlet argues that Taylor is the ideal candidate to restore the balance of power envisioned in the Constitution. Taylor makes clear that he is a Whig; that he would use the veto power sparingly, a welcome statement for Whigs who felt betrayed by accidental president John Tyler. He assures that he would respect the wishes of Congress with regard to tariffs, currency, and internal improvements. Thus he affirms that he would be the antithesis of a Jacksonian presidency: he would not seek to dominate the political arena or to aggrandize power to himself, nor would he claim to be the sole representative of the people. Wise & Cronin [Taylor] 102. Not in Sabin. OCLC 62206102 [7] as of June 2024. Seller Inventory # 40115
