About this Item

Broadside, 10-1/2" x 12". Printed in two columns separated by a rule, and signed and dated at the end in type, 'GEORGE C. WILSON. New-London, April 4, 1840.' Old horizontal fold [slight separation, no effect on text, short fold repair on blank verso]. One blank margin chip, light dusting. Else a Very Good copy of an apparently unrecorded Connecticut broadside. Wilson angrily responds to the false charge that he, in "secret conclave" with one John Danforth and "a clique of office-holders," engineered the Democratic nominations of "an amalgamation loco-foco-abolition ticket" for Town Officers. This charge was made by someone who calls himself "AN ABOLITIONIST BUT NOT AN AMALGAMATIONIST." Wilson denounces this "libel so infamous," and demonstrates that the nominations were made unanimously and according to unimpeachable democratic procedures. Even in New England, being an abolitionist was not a prudent road to success for an ambitious politician. Not in Sabin or American Imprints. Not on OCLC or online sites of AAS, Library of Congress, CT Historical Society, or Yale as of January 2025.
