July 18, 1840
THE MAGICIAN, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, July 25, 1840 A quite scarce campaign newspaper which existed for the sole purpose of promoting Martin Van Buren for President. The newspaper lasted but 18 issues (plus a "Extra" edition) from June 27 - Oct. 26, 1840. Not surprisingly the content is almost entirely political. A few of the articles include: "Some Further Account of the Reign Of Terror" "Jefferson & Harrison" "the Anti-Spoon Candidate" "More Federal Humbuggery" "Ly8ing by Wholesale" "White Slavery--Gen. Harrison" "At Their Dirty Work Again" and more.
Four pages, irregular at the spine margin, otherwise good.
