Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

Broadside (344 mm.); text printed in double columns; light wear, else very good. "Prospectus for an extra Globe. The presidential election-principles involved in the result-extra Globe." Francis Preston Blair, President Jackson's confidant and member of his Kitchen Cabinet, began publication of the Globe in 1830. John C. Rives was its business manager. This Broadside analyzes the 1836 election prospects of the Whig Party, that enemy "of Democratic principles" whose goal has already been "to put the chief power at the disposal of a few". In order to win, the Whigs count on the patronage and muscle wielded by the Bank of the United States, "the great wheel in the political organization of the [Whigs]". Its metamorphosis into a State Bank is a "mere imposture". In order to prevail, the Whigs must carry "the three equally divided States" of Mississippi, Missouri, and North Carolina. They can do so only be treachery, deception, and abandonment of all principle. Not in AI, Wise & Cronin, Sabin, or OCLC (as of 5/13). Evidently not in NUC.
