[Washington]. 1848. 7pp. Dbd. First leaf removed, stab holes in gutter. Tanned at extremities. A good reading copy. Item #WRCAM41361

In his speech Foote criticizes a New Hampshire senator for voting against the Resolution of Thanks to Gen. Taylor for Taylor's service to the nation in the Mexican- American War. Foote argues that the senator, who remains unnamed, opposes the recognition of a war hero because of his own intentions to run for President in the upcoming election.
