Political zeal and sub Treasury debate across states 1840
A compiled 1840 political pamphlet style letter set argues for anti Sub-Treasury policies, denounces imports of wages and prices policy, and urges voters in Ohio and Georgia to back Harrison. It cites Gen Beall and Tappan, with detours on Beall's Columbus and Steubenville meetings and a Georgia outlook for Harrison.
