INCONSISTENCY AND HYPOCRISY OF MARTIN VAN BUREN. ON THE QUESTION OF SLAVERY.

np: [1848] 16pp, caption title (as issued), stitched, light tan and wear. Good+. Contemporary signature of James E. Ripley at the head of the title. This document mocks Van Buren's alleged transformation from leader of the national Democratic Party, to the anti-slavery Free Soil candidate for President in 1848. Until rejected by the Democrats, and seduced by the allurements of the presidency, Van Buren had been the mouthpiece of extremist pro-slavery Southerners. His convenient turnabout is mere hypocrisy. Free Soil material is significant because it presages the dissolution of the Democratic Party and then the Union. Wise & Cronin 65. LCP 5117. Not in Sabin, Miles, Dumond, Work.
