The four traitors, who most infamously sold themselves to the Dorrites for office and political power. An illustrated broadside reviling four Rhode Island Whigs who broke party ranks to support a popular movement to free imprisoned radical Thomas Wilson Dorr. (On the Dorr Rebellion see also Trouble in the Spartan Ranks, Tyrants Prostrate Liberty Triumphant, and The Great Political Car and Last Load of Patriots, nos. 1843-6, 1844-19, and 1845-5.). The broadsides author alleges political opportunism in the alliance of (left to right). Charles Jackson, Samuel F. Man, James F. Simmons, and Lemuel H. Arnold with Democrats to support a liberation ticket in the spring elections of 1845. This notice, evidently published after the April canvass, laments the election of an obscure individual like President James K. Polk and a pompous, self-conceited man like Gov. Charles Jackson as well as Foreigners, ignorant, barbarous and uncivilized, radicals, disorganisers, and abolitionists assuming to be jurists in general. The author exhorts the reader, Let us not reward Traitors, but with just indignation abandon them as Scape-Goats, to their destiny--forever. The Four Traitors are crudely caricatured. Jackson holds a proclamation of liberation, probably the act of June 1845 pardoning Dorr. Samuel Man is depicted as obese, sitting in a chair and holding an infant. Simmons thumbs his nose at Man, and his own coattails are in turn held by Lemuel Arnold. A verse appears below them: O, heaven that such companions thou dst unfold; / And put in every honest hand a whip / To lash the rascals naked through the world. Date 1845.
