Pamphlet. Condition: Fair. The Border Ruffian Code in Kansas, is an 1855?1856 antislavery political tract produced by Greeley and McElrath, publishers of the New York Tribune. It was part of a coordinated effort to expose the pro slavery Kansas Territorial Legislature and the violent actions of the Border Ruffians, pro slavery Missourians who crossed into Kansas to intimidate voters and control territorial government. This pamphlet is not satire. It reprints and highlights actual laws passed by the pro slavery legislature of Kansas Territory in 1855, which Free State settlers denounced as illegitimate because the elections had been taken over by Border Ruffian mobs. This pamphlet is a political expose, designed to show Northern readers how extreme and oppressive these laws were. In 1854, the Kansas Nebraska Act opened Kansas Territory to popular sovereignty, meaning settlers would vote on whether Kansas would be a free or slave state. Pro slavery Missourians flooded into Kansas, seized polling places, and installed a legislature that passed harsh slave codes, criminalized abolitionist speech, and restricted voting rights. Newspapers like the New York Tribune responded by printing pamphlets like yours to: warn Northern voters, support the Free State movement, influence the 1856 presidential election, document abuses committed under the pro slavery regime. This pamphlet is part of this political campaign.Greeley and McElrath (New York Tribune); New York, 1855/1856. Pamphlet.

Western Expansion, Mexican War, and Tariffs With Maps of Texas and Oregon A nice run of four issues of the Whig Almanac, for the years 1844, 1845, 1846 and 1847. The Whig Almanac was an annual publication edited by Horace Greeley, beginning in 1843. Issued by the publishers of the New-York Tribune, it served as a political guide for the Whig Party, featuring election returns, congressional directories, political essays, and statistical data. The almanac played a key role in shaping Whig political discourse, advocating for protective tariffs, internal improvements, and opposition to the expansion of slavery. With Greeley s editorial influence, the Whig Almanac became an essential resource for party members and political observers until the decline of the Whig Party in the mid-1850s. Texas, Mexico and the West The almanac for 1846 has two woodblock maps, including one of Texas (page 44) in a much exaggerated form, with a distorted-looking stovepipe boundary, and extending west to the Rio Bravo to include Santa Fe. For a small map there is quite good detail as it locates major rivers and most of the towns: Houston, Nacogdoches, Austin, Mier, and San Antonio. The map also depicts Indian Territory and part of Missouri Territory. The text of a "Joint Resolution for Annexing Texas to the United States" is included on pages 55-56, following a general historical discussion on the boundaries of the United States. The map of Oregon (page 28) accompanies a text on the Oregon question ("Oregon. Our Rightful North - Western Boundary") and shows the territory extending from the Continental Divide and north to include part of present-day British Columbia. Mountain ranges are indicated as are the Columbia, Spokane, Lewis, and Clarke's Rivers. The forts of Alexandria, Colville, Vancouver, Langley, Fraser and George, and the early town of Astoria are located. The area shown extends to show Queen Charlottes Sound in the north and the northern reaches of Mexico in Upper California. The 25-page text deals, in part, with these two boundary issues as well as the annexing of Texas. The Whig Almanac for 1847 includes further articles on Oregon and Texas and Mexico: "Texas and Mexico" (pages 19-20); "The Oregon Treaty" (page 28); "The War With Mexico" (pages 29-37). The 1845 Almanac prints Henry Clay's words summarizing the principles of the Whig Party, including "a sound National Currency," "fair" protection to American Industry, and "just restraints on the Executive power, embracing a further restriction on the exercise of the Veto." The 1844 Almanac includes a History of the Tariff (pages 17-29), including a schedule of tariffs of 1816, 1824, 1828, 1832, and 1842. The almanacs cover a range of topics, including governmental and election statistics for the country, the U.S. Constitution, Washington's Farewell Address, alphabetical schedule of tariff duties, and the like.
