About this Item
Broadside, 27 x 41 cm. Light to moderate browning and soiling, Very Good. A most unusual North Carolina offering, advocating the election of John Worth over that Congressional district's symbol of the 'political class,' Abraham Rencher: the latter "has been in Congress ten years,- and can any one point out any thing that he ever did there? All know that he has been a mere cypher." Hummel and AI suggest an 1839 publication date, but this seems unlikely: Congressman Rencher declined to be a candidate for re-election in 1838. The likelier publication date is 1840, when the now-rested Rencher returned to the political fray after having served ten years in Congress, and won the election. FIRST EDITION. Hummel 1506 [1- UNC]. AI 58898 [1- NcU]. OCLC locates four copies under two accession numbers, as of December 2012. Seller Inventory # 6664
