REGULAR DEMOCRATIC ONEIDA COUNTY NOMINEES FOR DELEGATES TO STATE CONVENTION. GREENE C. BRONSON, SAMUEL BEARDSLEY, HENRY A. FOSTER, HIRAM DENO. ELECTION, TUESDAY, APRIL 28TH, 1846, IN THE SEVERAL ELECTION DISTRICTS, IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE ANNUAL ELECTIONS IN NOVEMBER. ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION.

[Utica? 1846]. Elephant folio broadside, 18" x 25-1/2." Old folds with several short splits but no text loss. Matted. Very large and bold type faces. Illustration of Screaming Eagle, with banner "Oneida County." Very Good.

The New York Constitution of 1846 put a cap on State spending, in an effort to control the enthusiasms of its legislators. Voters approved the Constitution, but rejected a proposed amendment to repeal the ownership of property as a qualification for black men to vote.
The broadside, evidently unrecorded, extols the "ability and purity" of the proposed candidates, who are "admired by the wise and just." Bronson is Chief Justice of New York State; Beardsley is "one of the most prominent statesmen of his day." Foster has "talents of the highest order." Denio has an "enviable reputation as a judge and lawyer."
