A Rare Pennsylania Pay Document

  FOR SERVICE IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

IN THE YEAR ANDREW JACKSON WAS RE-ELECTED

 [ELECTORAL COLLEGE] Senate Chamber, Harrisburg, December 5, 1832. Partly printed document drawn on the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in which the Electoral College of Pennsylvania instructs payment be made

“to James Potter, Esq. the sum of $85.20 being the amount of his pay as an Elector for President and Vice President of the United States of America.”

The election of 1832 marked the first time in American politics that national political conventions chose presidential candidates which had previously been accomplished via state legislatures, meetings and congressional caucuses.

The higly controversial public fight between Jackson and Nicholas Biddle to recharter the Bank of the United States was a central issue in the election and resulted in Biddle later rechartering it as a state bank.

An extremely rare example of the Electoral College paying an elector and related to a highly important election. Cut cancelled Some light paper loss at extreme upper margin not affecting any printed text.                                                   $400 - up
