THE PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC GUIDE. VOLUME ONE, NUMBER 1. NOVEMBER, 1841.
New York: James Webster, Publishing Agent, 1841. 32pp. Stitched in original printed brown wrappers, with engraved illustration of Lady Liberty and banner, "Equal Rights and Privileges Are All the People Ask For." Very Good.
The rare first issue of this Democratic attack on the Whigs, linking them with the old Federalist Party, which opposed the War of 1812, sought to secede at the Hartford Convention, and consistently advanced the interests of the Aristocracy and Monopolists over those of the Common Man. The Democratic Guide's Jacksonian motto is, 'Equal Rights and Privileges Are All the People Ask For.'
The rear wrapper prints the "Prospectus of the People's Democratic Guide." The Introduction explains that the publication is "devoted solely to the support of the great and fundamental principle of Free Trade and the People's Rights - - a principle which our ancestors strove to make perfect and secure to us by the Declaration of Independence, and our Constitution and Articles of Confederation.
