Albany, 1828. 47, [1 blank] pp. Stitched into modern plain wrappers. Light foxing, several blank margin repairs, faint blindstamp. Good+.

The primary weapon of the anti-Jackson forces was his alleged impetuous, unrestrained, martial personality, utterly unsuitable for the presidency of a democratic republic whose success required respect for constitutional checks and balances. Jackson's indefensible shooting of the six militia men after the Battle of New Orleans is described in elaborate detail. The events described occurred during the Seminole Campaign of 1815. Jackson ordered the execution of six soldiers for mutiny. The alleged mutiny consisted of a dispute over whether the soldiers were volunteers for three or six months.

Description:
Washington, [DC]: Printed at the Office of Jonathan Elliot, Pennsylvania Avenue, 1828. 22 cm. [2], 3-32 pp. Disbound. A fairly crisp copy, but fore-edge cropped close, shaving a small amount of text on pp. 5-8 still readable. Howes J11. Cohen 13619 - "An anti-Jackson campaign document, comprising a reprint, with commentary, of the documents published in the same year as House Report no. 140, 20th Congress, 1st session under title: Tennessee militiamen." The two presidential campaigns pitting John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson are considered to be among the dirtiest in American history. Jackson's character was the principal target of the anti-Jackson forces and the present incident, dating from 1815 in the War of 1812, together with the alleged adultery of Andrew and Rachel Jackson in the early 1790's, were their principal weapons. The campaign worked in 1824 but failed this time around.
