Rare piece of New York political ephemera, comparing the returns for Jacksonian Democratics to those of the Whigs, showing "a loss of 2303 of Jacksonianism, and a clear gain of the Whigs of 1834, of 3035..." This trend was not to benefit the Whigs, however, as in the 1836 presidential election the Democrats won under Martin Van Buren, the Whigs having taken the questionable political strategy of running three different candidates to appeal to different voters in different regions, hoping to split the electoral college so that the House of Representatives would be called upon to choose a winner.
