A rare folio Address, supporting Jackson-Van Buren banking policies, and expressing the toleration for slavery that cemented Northern Democrats' alliance with Southern slaveholders. Democrats' denunciation of "aristocracy" reaches new levels of hyperbole: they compare abolitionists, protectionists, and supporters of a National Bank to the early, loathsome Federalists.
