ADDRESS...TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF OHIO
1843 · Columbus
by Ridgway, Joseph
Columbus: Charles Scott, 1843. 14pp, Disbound, foxed. Good+. Ridgway had served as a Whig Congressman from this District since 1837, but he lost his bid for re-election in 1842. Trying again, he discusses the issues most likely to arise in the next Congress-- especially the tariff, one of the few clearcut distinctions between Whigs and Democrats. Ridgway takes the Whig position favoring protection for infant industries, and invokes an array of respectable support, from Jefferson to Jackson. FIRST EDITION. AI 43-4326. Not in Thomson, Sabin, Eberstadt, Decker. (Inventory #: 9929)
