Felix Grundy Circular, 1826 October

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 1
From the Collection:

Felix Grundy had this circular printed in order to inform the voters of Rutherford, Williamson, and Davidson counties of his political views as he aspires to be the "Representative of a free and enlightened people." He is in favor of letting people elect the president and vice president directly, apart from the interference of the House of Representatives, under any circumstances, a reference to President Adams. He also believes that states need to retain more rights, in order to keep the federal government from interfering and creating unnecessary offices. He does not approve of making alliances with other countries, specifically those in South America. Finally, he recommends Andrew Jackson for president. The circular is signed in type by Felix Grundy and has a manicule pointing to the words "Please show this to your neighbors."
