About this Item
Disbound with some loosening, 8pp. Printed in double columns. Caption title [as issued]. Light tan and wear, Good+. An attempt to tar General Winfield Scott, the Whigs' 1852 presidential candidate, with abolitionism; and to promote Franklin Pierce, who by contrast is "devoted to the constitution, and defended the rights guarantied by that sacred instrument." The Whigs have pandered to the extreme abolitionists, the Liberty Party crew, and seek to "absorb the friends and followers of James G. Birney and Wendall [sic] Phillips into the bosom of the whig party, which is now under the leadership of Wm. H. Seward, who will be the controlling spirit of the government should General Scott be elected." Birney, Phillips, and Seward were, of course, anathema to southerners and, indeed, to many northern Whigs and Democrats who did not wish the slavery issue to threaten the maintenance of the Union. FIRST EDITION. LCP 11125. Not in Sabin, Miles, Eberstadt, Decker. Seller Inventory # 18550
