by [Election of 1828]
[Bosto, 1828. 8pp. Dbd., loose sheets. Minor toning and foxing. Good. A rare anti-Adams newspaper supplement published during the contentious election of 1828. THE BOSTON STATESMAN was established in 1821 by David Henshaw and his friends. The eventual editor was Nathaniel Greene, who had trained at the New Hampshire PATRIOT in Concord, N.H. Henshaw and Greene organized a dinner in Boston on Jan. 8, 1828 in Andrew Jackson's honor, and actively campaigned for him. Here, the STATESMAN recounts the history of John Quincy Adams' political party, which they label the "monarchy men of 1787." Additionally, the paper covers Hamilton, Adams, and the Sedition Act, along with the party's disloyal actions during the War of 1812 and the subsequent Hartford Convention. Rare, and seemingly unrecorded in OCLC. (Inventory #: WRCAM53763)
