Notes
Sheet lacks colophon; Barbour was part of the conservative faction of the Republican party in Virginia; it is most likely that Fredericksburg was the place of issue, from its proximity to the district described and Barbour's known associations with merchants there; at this time there was only one Republican press operating there, that of brothers Isham & Elisha Burch, so the attribution here. Barbour was defeated in this election.
