LETTER FROM DEMOCRATIC CITIZENS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND REPLY OF CHARLES H. PEASLEE
1852 · [np
by Peaslee, Charles H.
[np, 1852. 16pp, double columns, caption title [as issued]. Lightly worn, Good+.
New Hampshire Democrats, soliciting a reply from their Democratic Representative Peaslee, fear that "the Abolition members of Congress from this State contemplate the abandonment of their posts at Washington, with a view to 'stump' the State...Slavery agitation is again to rear its front, to disturb that fraternal harmony so indispensible to the integrity of the Union." Peaslee gets right into the swing of things, defending Democratic rule and the Compromise of 1850 [which, ironically, the Democrats' next President, Pierce of New Hampshire, would destroy with his disastrous Kansas-Nebraska policy], against the incendiary policies of anti-slavery agitators. Scarce.
FIRST EDITION. Not in Sabin. NUC 0173472 [2]. (Inventory #: 6448)
