Stitched self wrappers. First edition. 24 pp. Two columns. 8vo. At head of title: From the Boston post. Written in response to rumors and allegations from the Whig party that Franklin Pierce was religiously intolerant, especially aimed at Irish Catholics. "in American political contests the searching questions ought to be ever,…as to a candidate, 'Is he honest? is he capable? Is He Faithful to the Constitution?' while an approach to any thing like the popery cry of the British Tory party, or an appeal to a sect as such, ought to be severely denounced as violative of the spirit of our institutions." Also includes "vote of the towns", the convention of 1850 and the religious test, amendments of the Constitution concerning religion, Catholic sentiment, and more. Not in Miles. Not in Sabin. A very good copy, scant foxing to wrappers, vertical mail fold.
[ Oxford, Gladstone, Marsham and the General Election of 1852. ] Spoof in the form of a printed circular from 'Mrs. Harris' Commemoration Advertiser', with a variety of in-jokes poking fun at the University.

A lively Oxford spoof, which can be dated precisely from the references to Marsham, Gladstone and the coming General Election. In the General Election of July 1852 the Peelite Gladstone defeated the Conservative Marsham, who had been put forward by 'the heads, Protestants and protectionists'. A reference to German education is a… nod towards the first Oxford University Commission, whose report published in 1852 recommended that a switch to a more Germanic educational system. (For the background see Brock and Curthoys, 'History of the University of Oxford', vol. 6 (1997).) Printed in black on one side of a 31 x 19 cm. piece of wove paper. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. An announcement in the customary Victorian style of mixed typefaces and point sizes, with a series of 'advertisements' printed one above the other. At bottom right: 'Printed for the Authoress.' Begins: 'Mrs. Harris' Commemoration Advertiser, | The Perfect Substitute for Reform. | The Abolition of Dons: | A single Trial will convince the most incredulous. | The Metaphysical Syphonia, | Or invisible Wrapper, warranted Reason proof, and weighs nothing. | Apply to the Marines. | Il n'y a pas de prix fixe.' A number of quips follow, including a dig at 'the Proctors', a list of five 'Candidates for vacant Professorships' (the last: 'Practical Electioneering . All the Fellows of L*****n.'), a fake advertisement for a new book titled 'The Freshman's Vade-Mecum'. The next section refers to the recommendation of the Oxford University Commission, that the University follow the German mode of education: 'A Professor, | Not unequal, as he trusts, to the educational requirements of the 19th Century, has a vacancy for | One Pupil. | He engages that in six months his fond parents shall not know him from a GERMAN STUDENT. | N.B. Duelling extra.' Next there is another spoof advertisement for a book, this one titled 'Weathercockiana, or the Gladstone of the Future.' Then there comes: 'PRIZE ESSAY, | (Open to all Masters of Arts who have not Graduated in Honours; and to be awarded when Dr. Marsham is returned for the University,) | "On the best means of reconciling the Duties of a Head of a House with those of a Member of Parliament."' A couple more joke announcements end the spoof. Presumably "Mrs Harris" is inspired by the non-appearing character in Dickens' "Martin Chuzzlewit". From the papers of Rev. Dr Richard Harington, Principal of Brasenose College, Oxford. No other copy traced, either on OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC.

16pp, disbound with archivally reinforced inner margin. Good+. This pamphlet records a Democratic Party rally during the 1852 presidential contest, endorsing "with joyous hearts, the names of Franklin Pierce and William R. King as the favored standard bearers of our political faith in the present campaign. In looking over the tr…oubles and darkness which hung around our National Convention, the name of Pierce was discovered, like an oasis in our desert, to cheer and gladden us all." A variant issue did not print the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, and omitted that reference from the title. The Resolutions are printed here, beginning at the bottom of page 12 and ending in the middle of page 15. Pages 15-16 print the list of Evening Post Documents for the 1852 campaign. Sabin 89203. OCLC 21984603 [5][as of July 2012].

16pp, untrimmed, uncut, and folded. Dusted, lightly worn, some spine splitting. Good+. A Democratic Party rally during the 1852 presidential campaign, endorsing "with joyous hearts, the names of Franklin Pierce and William R. King as the favored standard bearers of our political faith in the present campaign. In looking over the… troubles and darkness which hung around our National Convention, the name of Pierce was discovered, like an oasis in our desert, to cheer and gladden us all." This is a variant printing. Our copy's title ends as noted above; the title of the other issue ends with, 'Also Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798 and 1799.' Our issue does not print those Resolutions. Pages 15-16 print the list of Evening Post Documents for the 1852 campaign. OCLC 319715221 [2][as of 7/12]. See Sabin 89203 and OCLC 21984603 [5] for the other issue.

15pp, caption title [as issued], bound in modern wrappers, dusted, Good+. An 1852 pamphlet defending the Whigs and Scott against Democrats' charges of extravagance; and rebutting their charge of corruption in settling the Galphin case, in which the Taylor administration made payment to the heirs of a Georgia revolutionary war fi…gure who had expended money in support of that struggle. The Democrats are the Party of extravagance and corruption: "He who shouted STOP THE THIEF most lustily, was found with the Stolen Pig under his own cloak!" Not in Sabin or, evidently, NUC.

Disbound, 24pp, printed in double columns. Light wear, Very Good. The 1852 presidential campaign, pitting the Democrat Pierce against the Whig Scott, featured an unseemly competition for the votes of Irish Catholic immigrants. Whigs, who were at a disadvantage in this contest, charged Pierce with being an anti-Catholic bigot. "T…he object of the Scott politicians in making the charge of intolerance at this time, against General Pierce, is to obtain the Catholic vote. It is an appeal to a SECT IN RELIGION, to get its members to vote a certain way in POLITICS." This pamphlet rebuts the charge, demonstrating that Pierce supported extending equal rights to Catholics in New Hampshire via constitutional amendment. Not in Sabin, Miles, Eberstadt, Decker. OCLC lists a number of institutional copies.

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 guaranti…ed 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.

Caption title as issued. 16pp. At head of title, cuts of a farmer plowing with his team of horses; and an arm and hammer surrounded by a wreath. Disbound, lightly toned or foxed, else Very Good. These Washington D.C. Democrats, "possessed of no political suffrage ourselves," warn in this scarce campaign pamphlet, against the ele…ction of Winfield Scott, a career military man and the Whigs' 1852 presidential candidate. Of our past presidents, "The only professional soldier was General Taylor, who for upwards of forty years had devoted himself exclusively to his profession of arms. If the evils resulting from his election, under which we are now suffering, had tongues to speak to you, you would not soon repeat that error." The enviable qualities of Franklin Pierce, the Democrats' nominee and a perfect example of "the northern man with southern principles," are trumpeted. Trashing the short presidency of General Taylor, the pamphlet finds telling parallels in the career of General Scott. "All who know him know his weakness, his egotism, his aristocratic haughtiness." To boot, "General Scott's opinions on the slavery question are hostile to the interests and safety of the South and to the patriotic opinions of the northern democracy. He fraternizes with such fanatics as Seward, Hale, Sumner, Garrison, Phillips, and Gerritt [sic] Smith." OCLC 23149127 [5] as of August 2021. Not in Miles.

No binding. Condizione: Very Good. Printed Broadsheet, Boston Commonwealth Extra, July 1852. 2 pp., 25 1/2 x 22 in. "a vote for either of the former candidates, is as truly a vote in favor of the sustenance, defence and encouragement of American slavery in all its hideousness, as a vote for the devil were a vote in favor of sin.…"This broadsheet prints a summary of the three major party platforms-the "Compromise Democratic" Party, the Whig Party, and the Free Democratic (Free Soil) Party-headed with the injunction to "Read, Reflect, and then Act!" The second page includes the text of the Fugitive Slave Law, or "America's Bill of Abominations!!" passed in September 1850, and an editorial by "Alexander" that explains the benefits of the Free Soil Party over the other two parties. Excerpts"The Platforms of the Parties. Read, Reflect, and then Act!" (p1)"The Fugitive Slave Law! America's Bill of Abominations!!" (p2)".Section 6And be it further enacted, That when a person held to service or labor in any State or Territory of the United States, has heretofore or shall hereafter escape into another State or Territory of the United States, the person or persons to whom such service or labor may be due, or his, her, or their agent or attorney, duly authorized, by power of attorney, in writing, acknowledged and certified under the seal of some legal officer or court of the State or Territory in which the same may be executed, may pursue and reclaim such fugitive person, either by procuring a warrant from some one of the courts, judges, or commissioners aforesaid, of the proper circuit, district, or county, for the apprehension of such fugitive from service or labor, or by seizing and arresting such fugitive, where the same can be done without process, and by taking, or causing such person to be taken, forthwith before such court, judge, or commissioner, whose duty it shall be to hear and determine the case of such claimant in a summary manner; and upon satisfactory proof being made, by deposition or affidavit, in writing, to be taken and certified by such court, judge, or commissioner, or by other satisfactory testimony, duly taken and certified by some court, magistrate, justice of the peace, or other legal officer authorized to administer an oath and take depositions under the laws of the State or Territory from which such person owing service or labor may have escaped, with a certificate of such magistracy or other authority, as aforesaid, with the seal of the proper court or officer thereto attached, which seal shall be sufficient to establish the competency of the proof, and with proof, also by affidavit, of the identity of the person whose service or labor is claimed to be due as aforesaid, that the person so arrested does in fact owe service or labor to the person or persons claiming him or her, in the State or Territory from which such fugitive may have escaped as aforesaid, and that said person escaped, to make out and deliver to such claimant, his or her agent or attorney, a certificate setting forth the substantial facts as to the service or labor due from such fugitive to the claimant, and of his or her escape from the State or Territory in which he or she was arrested, with authority to such claimant, or his or her agent or attorney, to use such reasonable force and restraint as may be necessary, under the circumstances of the case, to take and remove such fugitive person back to the State or Territory whence he or she may have escaped as aforesaid. In no trial or hearing under this act shall the testimony of such alleged fugitive be admitted in evidence; and the certificates in this and the first [fourth] section mentioned, shall be conclusive of the right of the person or persons in whose favor granted, to remove such fugitive to the State or Territory from which he escaped, and shall prevent all molestation of such person or persons by any process issued by any court, judge, magistrate, or other person whomsoever.S. (See website for full description). Broadsheet.
