About this Item

29pp. In fair to good condition with light extraction roughness and possibly trimmed and evidence of being paperclipped. In October 1855, Andrew Reeder was the Free-State candidate for delegate to Congress and won over John W. Whitfield, the pro-slavery candidate. When Congress assembled in December, Reeder went to Washington and began a contest for the seat. The matter was referred to a special committee, which decided that neither Whitfield nor Reeder was entitled to recognition as a delegate, and on August 1, 1856, the seat was declared vacant.
