TO THE PUBLIC. ANSWER TO SAMUEL HALLETT'S VINDICATIONS TO THE IMPUTATIONS OF THE STEUBEN COURIER, IMPLICATING GEORGE D. MITCHELL, AND EXPOSE OF SOME OF SAMUEL HALLETT'S ACTS AND DOINGS, PRESENT NOMINEE FOR CONGRESS IN THE TWENTY-EIGHTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

[np: 1856?]. 12pp, disbound, several leaves loose, generously margined. Caption title [as issued]. Minor wear, else Very Good. An especially nasty piece of negative political campaigning, attacking Hallett's private character during an 1856 Congressional contest in upstate New York. Mitchell trots out details of some private commercial litigation against Hallett, along with some of Hallett's other transactions. "I do not know of a single case where a person has been benefited by dealing with Mr. Hallett; whereas on the contrary it is my candid opinion that there is not a single case where Mr. Hallett has had any dealings to any extent with any person or persons but what they are the worst off; except in cases where he has co-operated with sharks for their mutual interest in the destruction of others." Not on OCLC, or in NUC or Sabin. Item #22548
