$675 · Offered by William Reese Company

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, WRITTEN FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, BUT PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE OF KENTUCKY; RELATING ALSO TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, AND TO INTERNAL ... Sixth in the Louisville-Frankfort series (1823-24) of the pseudonymous partisan of Andrew Jackson, "Philo-Jackson." The present volume is largely an attack on Henry Clay's support of a federally sponsored system of "internal improvements" (i.e. roads, canals, etc.), part of his "American System." Later that year, despite receiving more votes than any other candidate, Andrew Jackson would fail to win the necessary majority of total electoral votes cast to win the 1824 presidential race; the election went to the House of Representatives where, due in part to Clay's leadership as Speaker, John Quincy Adams won the presidency in 1825.
