About This Item
[Ravenna, Ohio?, 1842. Broadsheet. 17" x 20", printed in six columns on recto, one column plus a few lines on verso. Several fold splits and repairs, with a few words and letters lost in several places. Several fox marks. Good.
The broadsheet expresses the position of the Democratic Executive Central Committee of Portage County at Ravenna, on the issues of the day, dated in type August 30, 1842. The Committee members were Joseph Lyman, John Gillis, D.P. Rhodes, E. Spalding, Samuel Mason, William Coolman, Jr., H.M. Campbell, Hugh Lowrey, and A. Servoss. Also printed is an "Address of the Democratic Members of the Ohio Legislature to the People of the State." Both indict the Whigs for "A series of most extraordinary events which have resulted in the overthrow and annihilation of Representative Government in Ohio," i.e., the mass resignation of Whig members from the legislature. Whigs are accused of "mass revolution," "treason against the State," and similar offenses.
