About This Item

[Providence?, 1847. Broadside, 9-1/2" x 16", printed in two columns separated by a rule. Lightly toned, Near Fine.

This rare Rhode Island broadside denounces Congressman Lemuel Arnold for supporting the hated War with Mexico. "We all know that it was provoked for the purpose of extending the horrors of slavery, and we all abhor slavery. Every acre of territory that we shall conquer from Mexico, will be so much added to the area of slavery, to convert a free into a slave state. If accomplished by this administration and their abettors, the labors of the philanthropist and christian are at an end. Slavery will be too strongly established to be disturbed."
Arnold has voted with the Administration "on all the important acts and measures to carry on this iniquitous war for the conquest of Mexico and the extension of slavery.... We are against him. He has voted for slavery and against his constituents."
OCLC 702602214 [1- Yale], 58787891 [2- NYHS, AAS] as of December 2021.
