Cushing, Abel:

ORATION DELIVERED AT THE CELEBRATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC WORKING-MEN, IN MILFORD, MASS. JULY 4, 1834. BY...OF DORCHESTER, MASS.

Providence: 1834 14pp, dbd. Blank bottom margin of title page torn away, trimmed closely with occasional loss of page enumeration but text unaffected. Good. A robust, radical Jacksonian oration, warning that "the foes of democracy are uncommonly active," urging the equality of all men under the law, opposing legislative grants of banking and other monopolies and special privileges, and denouncing "the money power in the government" and the "bank aristocracy." Cushing, emphasizing class divisions in society, calls for a united working class, not a united nation, despite the occasion of the national anniversary. FIRST EDITION. AI 24065 [5]. Not in Sabin, Eberstadt, Decker.
