November 1, 1834, Political Broadside "Calumniator Exposed," Choice Fine. A boldly printed Broadside measuring 16" x 11.25," with some scattered soiling and wrinkling of the paper and normal folds. This Broadside was printed in support of Matthias J. Bovee, the Republican Candidate for Congress, who had been the subject of "the foulest slanders" and "... charged with blasphemy, with profanity, with abusing a Minister of the Gospel, with ridiculing the Methodists, &c. &c." His eight supporters (who sign in type at the bottom) warn the slanderers that the sheriff is on his way to get one of them and is ready to get the rest if they say another word. An extremely rare and impressively printed Broadside from the "Jacksonian" era.
