Political and naval zeal in the era of Tippecanoe flags
A Cleveland Herald item rails at Whig and anti slavery factions, praising patriotic ships on the western waters. It notes Tippecanoe flags on vessels, calls for removing an obstructive “upper” power at the wheel, and urges support for Harrison while lampooning Van Buren. The piece also covers faction splits in the American Anti-Slavery Society and local political defections in Union Township Ohio. It ends with reports of strong western produce arrivals and a jail escape in Albany.
