[Washington, 1828. 4pp. Caption title as issued. Spine reinforced. Signed in type at the end, 'MANY.' Dated in type, 'Washington, March 24, 1828.' Toned, light wear, Good+.

A rare examination of shifting political coalitions preceding the 1828 presidential election, stimulated by the bill, pending in the House of Representatives, to increase tariffs on woolens. It's a terrible bill: "The provisions of this bill are such, in the opinion of the most intelligent farmers and manufacturers, that no rational man can be expected to vote for it." The author warns of a coalition of "Southern members who are against all protection whatever, and the Jackson members from Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and New-York, who, although they profess to be in favor of protecting the farmers and manufacturers, yet vote with their Southern Jackson friends."
The author's dire prediction: "A party is fast forming; of which General JACKSON is to be the HEAD, which is to be wholly and systematically opposed to the entire system of protection."
