24pp. Disbound, printed in two columns per page. Light wear, faint blindstamp on final leaf. Good+ On "the wisdom and good policy" of the Whigs' 1848 nomination of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore for the presidency. The pamphlet soothes the wounds of the failed candidates and their supporters: Winfield Scott, the "noble old chief, who had just carried the eagles of our Republic in triumph over the mountains of Mexico;" Henry Clay, "the gallant, chivalrous and accomplished statesman of the West;" Webster, "the strong, towering, giant defender of the constitution, of the North." "Circumstances demanded the nomination of another patriotic whig, as the standard bearer of our party." Taylor is a man of "TRUTH, JUSTICE, INTEGRITY, FIDELITY, and a NOBLE GENEROSITY." In this complicated election the Whigs had to contend, not only with the Democrats and their nominee Lewis Cass, but also with former President Martin Van Buren and his Free Soil Party. Seeking to hold the votes of anti-slavery Whigs, this pamphlet derides Van Buren's last-minute conversion: his record shows a complete subservience to the Slave Power. Sabin 70526.
