1808List2316Hartford: Hudson and Goodwin 1808. Letterpress broadside measuring 13 x 7 ¾ inches. Some slight toning near fine overall. Fine. A broadside announcing the candidates for the United States House of Representatives a list which includes Noah Webster. Webster received 212 votes in the preliminary election in May enough to get him a spot on the ballot but lost in the general election in a generally difficult time for Federalist politicians. Webster experienced a religious conversion during this period after being a not particularly devout Congregationalist earlier in his life and embraced the church completely perhaps due to the death of his infant son in 1806. Webster would run again for U.S. Representative in 1810 1812 and 1816 losing each time and eventually abandoned politics his last office held being in the Connecticut House of Representatives ending in 1807 shortly before his first campaign for national office. We find no record of this broadside in OCLC or other ephemera relating to Webster’s political career in Connecticut in the trade. The collected acts from this session were published in octavo format but we find no other record of this broadside printing. Hudson and Goodwin unknown

He never ceases to praise the affection and gratitude he feels for his friend. ""Ce 11 Fev. 1875 Mon cher ami C'est atroce ! Me voilà décoré ! Jusqu'à la fin de mes jours ! et c'est de votre faute !

Ce n'est pas une croix qui honore un homme ce sont des amis comme vous. Vous devez comprendre ce que j'éprouve pour vous après un coup pareil. Bien affectueusement et merci je ne vous dis que ça ! Cham. Mes respectueux hommages à madame Dumas. Je porte mon ruban en rosette ça fait très bien."" ""February 11 1875 My dear friend It's atrocious! Here I am decorated! Until the end of my days! and it's your fault! By the greatest chance I learned that you had written a four-page letter to the minister. All concerning me and calling for the ribbon upon me! Without saying anything to anyone! and without denouncing yourself once the deed was done and successful. What to think of such a man Where to find enough gratitude to thank him for such a gesture I immediately form a company with the capital of enormous gratitude that can settle my debt to you. It is not a cross that honors a man it is friends like you. You must understand what I feel for you after such a deed. Most affectionately and thank you that's all I say to you! Cham. My respectful regards to Madame Dumas. I wear my ribbon as a rosette it looks very good."" unknown
