election broadside (7 résultats)

Unbound. Etat : Good. First Edition. Single sided broadside, approximately 455mm x 285mm in size, no place, but probably Stourbridge, and no date, but 1859. A couple of small chips, small hole to top left hand corner, two closed tears to bottom edge, slightly creased, but generally in good order. Printed on blue paper, the broadside relates to the 1859 by-election in Worcester East, contested between the Whig, Frederick Gough-Calthorpe and the Tory, Sir John Pakington, 2nd Baron Hampton, where Gough-Calthorpe was elected with a majority of 339. This is an anti-Pakington broadside, noting his personalisation of the campaign, "The 'Printer's Devil' has exhausted his stock of I's", and quoting a newspaper article calling him a "bigoted Puseyite". The printer was probably [Thomas] Mellard of Stourbridge (not located in BBTI), who died in 1861. Not in Library Hub Size: Elephant Folio. Broadside.

'The able and upright peers are too few to weigh in the voting. If we grant their present arrogant claims, we should make ourselves the slaves of the idle and ignorant men described above.'

William Henry Harrison (1773-1841) served as the governor of the Indiana Territory from 1801-1812. While governor, he negotiated numerous treaties with the native Americans in the area, greatly reducing their territory and stoking resentment against the United States. His antagonism culminated in the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811 against the Shawnee Indians. This battle and the War of 1812 made Harrison a household name and propelled him to the White House in 1841.
