Medley Ballad on Polk and Dallas Nomination
A Buckeye author derides the Polk Dallas ticket as undignified for the Whig party in a political medley. The verse scorches party rivals from Maine to Texas, mocks rival candidates and Baltimore, and cheers Polk’s nomination while promising bold political actions and resistance to Whig promises. The piece mocks Hardin and Frelinghuysen, urges chiding Whigs, and jeers at magnet-based campaigns.
