Note
Caption title.
"The following touching narrative of facts is dedicated to every generous American. Let any man who has a heart, read it--ponder on it--and vote for Mr. Adams, if he can. The true character of the man is seen in this simple transaction--He was here, acting out the dictates of his nature. Is he not at heart a tyrant? And shall such a man rule over a free people?"
Anti-John Quincy Adams election; this broadside recounts the story of Richard Nagle, a revolutionary war veteran from Cambria County, Pa., who walked to Washington to seek his pension. He was rebuffed by Congress, and met with President John Quincy Adams at the White House, who is supposed to have said “Begone you impostor, and dirty old rascal, or I’ll have you horse-whipped.” This story was also reported in several newspapers at the time, and Nagel received a “gratuity” of $40 for his Revolutionary service awarded by the state of Pennsylvania that year.
