This pamphlet records a Democratic Party rally during the 1852 presidential contest, endorsing "with joyous hearts, the names of Franklin Pierce and William R. King as the favored standard bearers of our political faith in the present campaign. In looking over the troubles and darkness which hung around our National Convention, the name of Pierce was discovered, like an oasis in our desert, to cheer and gladden us all."
A variant issue did not print the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, and omitted that reference from the title. The Resolutions are printed here, beginning at the bottom of page 12 and ending in the middle of page 15. Pages 15-16 print the list of Evening Post Documents for the 1852 campaign.
