About This Item
Columbia: Printed at the "South Carolinian" Office, 1843. 21, [3 blanks] pp. Stitched in original printed wrappers [blank lower corner clipped]. Lightly foxed, Very Good.
Whitemarsh Seabrook was President of the Convention, whose attendees are listed here. The Convention was called in order to nominate "JOHN CALDWELL CALHOUN to the first office in the gift of the American people." An Address of the Convention of South-Carolina to the Democratic Republican Party of the United States, printed here, calls Calhoun the only man who can reverse "the deplorable condition of the country." Calhoun "belongs to a portion of the Union which has never yet had a President;" nor has the Union had a President from one of "the smaller and weaker States."
"Next to Mr. Jefferson, no one who has lived under our Constitution has done more to preserve its republican features, by exposing the dangers of consolidation, and resisting its encroachments."
FIRST EDITION. II Turnbull 486. AI 43-1507 [5]. Not in LCP.
