Banking & State Rights

(BANKING). [LEWIS, DIXON]. The Nullifier, No. I. An Address to the State Rights party of Alabama, on the proposed divorce of the Government and the banks. [Caption title]. [In] Washington Chronicle. Vol. I, No. 59, Washington City, Thursday, June 14, 1838. 8vo. 31 pp. Old calf backed boards. $375.00

Bound with 32 other pamphlets, mostly Congressional documents on banking, tariffs, and so forth. Also includes Calhoun's February, 1838 speech on the sub-treasury bill printed in the Washington Chronicle. The Chronicle is a very rare Washington political paper published only during 1838. Dixon's impassioned defense of state rights consists of eight parts especially printed ("at the urgent request of many subscribers we present to-day, in one pamphlet...") in one issue of the Chronicle. The ULN lists two complete holdings and one or two issues in several other libraries. See DAB for Dixon, one of the very active advocates of state's rights from the South, 1830-50.
