Title: A thrilling incident during voting,--18th Ward, Philadelphia, Oct. 11 / Harley, del.
Creator(s): Harley, Joseph S., artist
Date Created/Published: [Philadelphia : s.n., 1864]
Summary: An emotionally charged condemnation of the Copperheads or Peace Democrats and their support of reconciliation with the Confederacy. In a scene at a polling place an old man (right) is approached by a 'Copperhead' vote distributor, who thrusts a ticket at him, saying, 'Here is an old Jackson Democrat who always votes a straight ticket.' The older man angrily replies, 'I despise you more than I hate the rebel who sent his bullet through my dead son's heart! You miserable creature! Do you expect me to dishonor my poor boy's memory, and vote for men who charges American soldiers, fighting for their country, with being hirelings and murderers?' A bespectacled man watches the scene from behind the ballot box. The narration and dialogue for the episode are provided in the lower margin.
