This is one of three 1828 issues, all scarce, printed in the heated presidential race of that year. Anti-Jackson forces charged that his unrestrained, martial personality-- highlighting his execution of the six militia men after the Battle of New Orleans-- unfitted him for the presidency. New York Democrats [then called Democratic-Republicans, or just Republicans] defend Jackson, denounce the falsehoods surrounding that incident, and call the official record of the inquiry "useless rubbish."
