Boynton" at blank bottom margin of title page. Good+. The anonymous author hopes to redeem the body politic from its "present corrupted state," and to heal its "political leprosy." The party of Jefferson and Madison, allied with our Massachusetts rulers, "have availed themselves of every occasion. . . to accelerate the work of ruin and desolation." He enumerates "our complaints. . . A deep rooted and rancorous hatred of Greatbritain- - a blind and servile subserviency to France- - an inflexible hostility to commerce- - wanton and repeated violations of the constitution," etc., etc. The solution: elect Federalist Christopher Gore to another term as Governor; reject "Mr. Gerry. . . a decided partizan of France; a warm and steadfast advocate of the present administration." Massachusetts voters did not heed this counsel: Elbridge Gerry won the 1810 election. American Imprints 19309 [5 locations]. Sabin 45600. Seller Inventory # 39331
