[Providence? publisher not identified, 1843.]. Folio broadside (approx. 15¾" x 14"), printed in triple column beneath the running head; very good. At issue was whether taxation was necessary, and if so, whether the land of farms or the stock holdings of wealthy residents of Providence should be taxed. Includes official certificates that state debts of the Dorr Rebellion have been paid; asserts that the Dorrites, if elected, will claim $500,000.00 in damages and expenses; and urges election of James Fenner for governor. N.Y. Historical, Mass. Historical, and Brown in OCLC. DeSimone and Schofield 138 (adding the three copies at RI Historical, and the defective one at Newport Historical, plus 2 in private collections); not in American Imprints or Sabin. Item #56350
