SKETCH OF THE ADDRESS OF HON. R.H. GILLET, OF WASHINGTON, D.C., AT THE MASS MEETING OF THE CITIZENS OF LEBANON, NEW YORK.
Washington: Printed at the Union Office, 1856. 13, [3 blank] pp., [page 13 misnumbered as page 12]. Disbound, minor wear, Very Good.
This scarce campaign pamphlet reviews the qualifications of the three 1856 presidential candidates-- Buchanan the Democrat, Fillmore the Know-Nothing, Fremont the Republican-- and pronounces for Buchanan, who "is ripe in years, and his character is without a blemish." He is eminently qualified by experience for the job.
Fillmore always opposes democratic reforms, like abolition of the United States Bank. He is "the candidate of a party whose strength is derived from secret political organizations, controlled and bound together by oaths which excite feelings of horror on reading them."
Fremont knows nothing about government; his only issue-- the alleged extension of slavery-- is a red herring, for "Mr. Buchanan is no advocate of slavery extension."
