Supporting Van Buren, and critical of Harrison...



Item # 685002

October 03, 1840

THE DAILY REGISTER, New Bedford, Massachusetts, Oct. 3, 1840  Page 3 has a very critical piece on General Wm. Harrison upon his nomination for the presidency, beginning: "But in God's name! what is Gen, Harrison that he should be President of the United States? A Hero!! Another Hero!!!..." which simply begins the attack upon him.
Not surprisingly, the first column of page 2 has a political notice supporting: "For President, MARTIN VAN BUREN..." with more.
Ultimately Harrison would win, but he would die after just one month in office.
Four pages, nice condition.
