Description:
Washington, 1830. Broadside, 25 1/2 x 19 3/4 inches, printed on silk and mounted on paper. Some scattered tears and slight silk loss, mainly in margins, but with a few text tears. Expertly matted, and protected with mylar sheet. A very striking broadside, evidently intended for presentation to members of Congress, as it bears the printed inscription: "Respectfully inscribed to the Twenty-First Congress...By the Publisher." The text is Jackson's first State of the Union Message, of December 8, 1829, and printed in January 1830. Any early broadsides printed on silk are very rare.

Description:
Washington, December 10, 1832.. Broadside, 23 1/2 x 18 1/2 inches, printed on silk in six columns within an ornamental border. Silk slightly frayed at head and foot; occasional foxing, almost entirely in margins. Very good. Framed. This proclamation is President Jackson's famous response to the nullification ordinance recently passed by the state of South Carolina. It prints extracts from the Ordinance, followed by Jackson's angry response in which he denounces nullification as rebellion and treason, warning the citizens of South Carolina that he will use every power to enforce the laws. Sabin, who erroneously gives a date of 1833, notes that "a few copies were printed on satin, with ornamental border," such as the present copy. There was also a Hartford printing on silk, in six columns; a Boston printing on silk, in seven columns; and at least two New York printings on silk. SABIN 35352. STREETER SALE 1738 (ref).

Description:
[Philadelphia?], 1828.. 8pp. Stitched, as issued. Moderate tanning and foxing. About very good. A scarce printing of several anti-Jackson pieces from Pennsylvania newspapers during the 1828 presidential campaign. The first short tract is an indictment of Jackson's conduct in Florida during the Seminole War by a former General and Senator, Andrew Lacock. The second is a denouncement of Jackson by a former supporter, and the third prints prior critical statements of Jackson by some of his current supporters. Not in AMERICAN IMPRINTS; only three copies are located by OCLC, at the New York State Library, University of Rochester, and the College of William & Mary. Quite rare in the market; this is the first copy we have handled. OCLC 9354408.

Description:
[N.p., 1828].. Broadsheet, 19 x 9 inches, text printed in two columns on both sides. Old folds, some chips to edges, minor loss to upper left corner and closed tear to bottom edge (no text affected). Two small holes (affecting just one word), a few areas of soiling, light foxing, even tanning. Manuscript annotations to verso. About very good. A rare broadside recounting Andrew Jackson's infamous execution of Private John Woods, published in 1828 by Jackson's opponents during the 1828 election. There was considerable mud-slinging between the Jackson and Adams camps during that campaign, which eventually saw the defeat of incumbent John Quincy Adams and the election of Andrew Jackson. This dense broadside recounts the events of March 1814 at Fort Strother during the Creek Campaign, when Jackson charged John Woods, an eighteen-year-old militiaman, with disobedience, disrespect, and mutiny. According to the text, the trial itself only occurred because Jackson's soldiers would not shoot Woods at the…

Description:
[New Orleans], 1827.. 28pp. Stitched as issued. Spine reinforced with tissue, some splitting. Minor soiling and wear, last two leaves lightly dampstained. Very good. In a half morocco and cloth slipcase, spine gilt. During the War of 1812, Andrew Jackson had established martial law during his occupation of New Orleans. State senator Louis Louaillier wrote an article criticizing Jackson's military dictatorship and was arrested; subsequently Judge Dominic Hall objected to Jackson's suspension of habeas corpus and Louaillier's arrest, and Hall was also arrested for treason. Upon his release, Hall fined Jackson the immense sum of $1,000, which was later deemed by several official parties to be an outrageously large fine. This pamphlet, issued during the presidential campaign of 1828, speaks of the injustices perpetrated by Jackson against Louaillier, urging citizens to vote instead for John Quincy Adams (who lost anyway).

[N.p., but possibly Portsmouth, N.H., 1828].. 16pp. Modern brown cloth, red leather label. Spine and corners rubbed. Modern bookplate on rear pastedown. Light foxing throughout, minor dampstaining. Very good. An unidentified edition of this pamphlet attacking Andrew Jackson, published during the 1828 presidential campaign. Includes a brief history of Jackson's life and military career, specifically during the War of 1812. Stories and dates were taken from John Eaton's 1824 book, THE LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON..., though Eaton's work was pro-Jackson and the present publication puts a distinctly dastardly spin on Jackson's wartime deeds. Several works with this title in Shoemaker, though not this edition. Miles suggests Portsmouth, New Hampshire as the place of publication, based on a manuscript note on another copy. The final lines of text do appeal to the "Freemen of New Hampshire," urging them to vote for a local candidate who supports John Quincy Adams in the presidential race. MILES 24.
