| Title | The Whig charge of intolerance against the New Hampshire Democracy and Gen. Franklin Pierce |
| Date | 1852 |
| Author | Beals, Greene & Co. (1852) |
| Document Type | Pamphlet |
| Content Description | Written in response to rumors and allegations from the Whig party that Franklin Pierce is religiously intolerant. States that "[i]n American political contests the seraching questions out to be ever, as to a candidate, 'Is he honest? is he capable? Is He Faithful to the Constitution?' while an approach to any thing like the popery cry of the British Tory party, or an appeal to a sect as such, ought to be severely denounced as violative of the spirit of our institutions." Includes amendments of the Constitution concerning religion, Whig opposition, vote of the towns, letters and the Whig's side of the argument. Published by Beals, Greene & Co. from the Boston Post. |
