Ebook Short Account of the Hartford Convention

Mr. Otis was a member of the Hartford Convention. This is the text, paraphrase and commentary, in all its forms and readings, of all the reproaches, imputations, misstatements, and misrepresentations, now proclaimed and promulgated against the federal candidate for Governor. An objection of the same sort was circulated with even greater vehemence and virulence against Governor Brooks. Though not a member, he was said, in the language of a well-known democratic paper, to have been the "idol of that body," and to have been designated by them as the leader of the "rebel army," that was to have executed its treasonable plans.
