About this Item
8pp. Caption title as issued, disbound. Printed in two columns per page. Lightly foxed, Good+. This rare pamphlet is signed in type at the end and dated "West-Union, Sept. 21st, 1832." It is a little town in the extreme south of Ohio. Born in Ireland, Russell served in three consecutive Congresses until his defeat in the upcoming 1832 elections. Originally a Jacksonian Democrat, he concluded that Jackson had subjected the country to "abominable misrule. He found that to follow him further must result in the total abandonment of his political principles." Russell's Address explains his conversion experience: Jackson has impermissibly expanded the scope of government, the patronage and his other executive powers. He has governed by "the whim or caprice of the moment," and has "abandoned every opinion and principle which the General so long and frequently proclaimed." Russell's constituents did not appreciate his conversion, and turned him out of office. Not in American Imprints, Sabin, Thomson, Eberstadt. OCLC 183096777 [2- NYHS, U NE] as of August 2024. Seller Inventory # 34362
