Sobre este artículo
Alexandria, VA: J.A.K., n.d.. Broadside. Good. Broadside. Approx. 7.5" x 3.5". Content reads:
"I fully concur in the following, Which I find in one of your City papers: [Communicated.
To be elected a member of our City Councile is generally regarded as an honor. Certainly, the people, in making their selection of persons to be voted for, should look for honorable and trustworthy men. To honor men of a different character, is to do a wrong for society. And I do hope that the good people of Alexandria have independence enough to vote for the good, and true men only, and to repudiate all others, whatever their position in life. I trust therefore the list of candidates will be carefully scanned, that both offices and compliments may be judiciously and properly bestowed, [Signed] A Citizen.
VOTERS OF THE THIRD WARD
Do you endorse the above propositions? If so, allow me to make a personal application of them? Can you vote this day for James H. McVeigh, who has by his conduct outraged and injured society in the grossest manner? Can Fathers, Brothers, Husbands, or any one having respect for the female character, or the peace of and honor of families, trust such a man? For one I say no. I am responsible for this, and am found at No. 62, Royal Street, to answer any demands made on me for this publication. The public shall have more in a very few days from [Signed] J. A. K.
No date on this broadside and no information found for A citizen J. A. K. No. 62 Royal Street. A few references for James H. McVeigh found in histories of Alexandria. Unusual and obscure printed broadside. Alexandria City was located in the District of Columbia. From the City of Alexandria website: Virginia laws remained in effect in Alexandria until the U.S. Congress passed a new charter for the town in 1804. The charter eliminated the offices of recorder and aldermen, divided the town into four wards, and provided for a sixteen-member common council to be elected annually. [Macoll, ed., Alexandria, A Towne in Transition].
