WE HAVE READ THE MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS OF SEVERAL NEW YORK FIRMS AGAINST ANY FURTHER EXTENSION OF FACILITIES TO UNITED STATES OCEAN MAIL STEAMERS, AND DEEM IT NOT INAPPROPRIATE TO OFFER A FEW REMARKS ON THE SUBJECT FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF CONGRESS. . .
[np: 1858]. [4] pp. Printed on recto of first page only. Inner pages blank. Addressed in ink on last page to Honble. Samuel W. Parker of the House of Representatives. Roughness to blank inner margin, one short closed tear [expertly repaired]. Printed in two columns separated by a rule. Very Good.
"Fair Play" is evidently a consortium of ocean mail steamers opposing efforts by competitors- - "sailing vessels, or other ships propelled by steam"- - who seek government support to diminish the market for ocean mail steamers.
Congressman Parker, of Indiana, served as such from 1851-1855. We suggest that this item was printed during that period.
