‎[ABRAHAM LINCOLN]‎

‎1864 Campaign Blames McClellan’s Failures on Lincoln Comparing the President’s Treatment of McClellan and Grant‎

‎<p>"<i>with the same determination to divide the country unless they can secure universal abolition we are exposed to the same dangers every day and God only knows in what unlucky hour our ruin may be consummated. Compare his policy with McClellan's expression of readiness to receive any State when its people offer to submit to the Union.</i>"</p><p>This Democratic Party campaign pamphlet quotes an April 1864 letter to argue that Lincoln gave Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant free rein to conduct the war after having interfered with and micromanaged McClellan's Peninsula Campaign in 1862. The publication also declared that Republicans were stained with "<i>The Taint of Disunion</i>" and quoted from Republican speeches and editorials to insist that the Democrats were the party of "<i>UNION AND PEACE</i>."</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Printed Document. Democrat Campaign "<i>Document No. 12</i>" with headings "<i>Lincoln's Treatment of Gen. Grant</i>" "<i>Mr. Lincoln's Treatment of Gen. McClellan</i>" and "<i>The Taint of Disunion</i>." New York 1864. 8 pp. 5¾ x 8â… in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpts:</b></p><p>Lincoln to Grant April 30 1864</p><p>"<i>I wish to express in this way my entire satisfaction with what you have done up to this time so far as I understand it. The particulars of your plans I neither know nor seek to know. You are vigilant and self-reliant; and pleased with this I wish not to obtrude any restrains or constraints upon you while I am very anxious that any real disaster or capture of our men in great numbers be avoided.</i>" p1/c1</p><p>"<i>Such in brief are some of the most notable instances in which Mr. Lincoln interfered with General McClellan when he occupied a position similar to that held by General Grant. They reflect so severely upon the President that no attempt to gloss them over by his apparent subsequent repentance can disabuse the patriotic portion of the nation of the matured conviction that he is to be held responsible for the lack of decisive victories in Eastern Virginia. The blame must and will rest upon him to whom it belongs.</i>" p5/c2</p><p>"<i>Having shown by copious extracts from the speeches of Abraham Lincoln W. H. Seward Wendell Phillips Wm. Lloyd Garrison and from the editorial writings of the Chicago Tribune and the N. Y. Tribune… that they were all <b>original secessionists and disunion men</b> we propose now to give the evidence that Mr. Lincoln himself has within the last three months been concerned in a movement to make peace with Jeff. Davis on terms involving the direct proposal to divide the Union and let the South go.</i>" p7/c2-p8/c1</p><p>"<i>with the same determination to divide the country unless they can secure universal abolition we are exposed to the same dangers every day and God only knows in what unlucky hour our ruin may be consummated. Mark how Mr. Lincoln constantly keeps up the idea of negotiating only with Jefferson Davis. Why does he never address himself to the people or the States of the South. Compare his policy with McClellan's expression of readiness to receive any State when its people offer to submit to the Union.</i>" p8/c2</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>The 1864 presidential election pitted President Lincoln against his Democratic challenger General George B. McClellan. Although McClellan had been the commander of the Army of the Potomac and general-in-chief of the Union Army the Peace platform adopted by the Democratic National Convention in Chicago declared the war a failure. The party was bitterly divided between War Democrats who favored continuing the war to restore the Union while leaving slavery alone; moderate Peace Democrats who favored an armistice and a negotiated peace that would likely protect slavery in a reconstructed union and radical Peace Democrats who favored an immediate end to the war without securing Union victory. McClellan was a War Democrat but the platform was written by radical Peace Democrat Clement Vallandigham and Peace Democrat George H. Pendleton was nominated for vice president.</p><p>In 1864 Republicans created the National Union Party to attract War Democrats Unconditional Unionists and Unionist Party members who would not vote for the Republican Party though most state Republican parties did not change their name. President Abraham Lincoln won the nomination of the "National Union Party" at its Baltimore convention and won re-election with new running mate War Democrat Andrew Johnson.</p><p>Although Lincoln was convinced by August 1864 that he would not be reelected General William T. Sherman's capture of Atlanta in early September and General Philip Sheridan's successes in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia from August to October ensured his victory. Without the participation of the seceded states Lincoln and Johnson won 55 percent of the popular vote and an overwhelming 212-to-21 victory in the Electoral College. McClellan and Pendleton carried only Kentucky Delaware and McClellan's home state of New Jersey.</p>‎

The image created by engraver Henry B.

Grant who stands nearby.</p><p>According to a notice printed at the bottom right corner "<i>Every Person who pays Ten Cents each for numbers 1 and 2 of Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner The New Family Paper is entitled to a copy of this PLATE without extra charge</i>" or individuals could purchase the print for $3.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Lithograph.

It is especially valuable as it contains an excellent likeness of our late lamented President introducing General Grant and his wife to Mrs. Lincoln." The picture contains "nearly 100 portraits of our most celebrated Generals Statesmen and Civilians also of many of our most distinguished American ladies. The likenesses are admirable having been taken from photographs by Brady."</p><p>The key giving the names of each individual portrait was published in issue number 4 of the <i>Chimney Corner</i> on June 24.</p><p>Included in the image are Generals Ulysses S.

‎[ABRAHAM LINCOLN]. [RACISM]‎

‎Miscegenation or the Millennium of Abolitionism - Stirring Fear of Interracial Marriage Before 1864 Presidential Election‎

‎<p>The second in a series of four racist political cartoons published in 1864 by Bromley & Company which was closely affiliated with the Copperhead New York <i>World</i> newspaper. These prints sought to undermine Abraham Lincoln's chances for reelection by branding him as a "miscegenationist" and playing on white fears of "race-mixing." The cartoon scene pictures several interracial couples enjoying a day at the park eating ice cream discussing wedding plans and a woman's upcoming lecture. Two African American families have white employees a carriage driver and footmen and a babysitter.</p><p>The only other example traced at auction brought $7800 in 2010.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN. RACISM.</b>Print. "Miscegenation or the Millennium of Abolitionism." Political Cartoon. New York: Bromley & Co. 1864. 1 p. 20¾ x 13â… in.<p><br /></p><p>American politics had long played on fears of sexual relationships between races. A powerful new word for "race-mixing" was coined in an anonymous December 1863 pamphlet entitled <i>Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races Applied to the American White Man and Negro</i> published in New York. Purporting to advocate the virtues of the "blending of the white and black races on this continent" it was a literary forgery prepared by <i>The World</i> managing editor David Goodman Croly and reporter George Wakeman. The authors were unsuccessful in their attempt to trick President Lincoln into endorsing the work.</p><p>At the far left of the image Abraham Lincoln declares "<i>I shall be proud to number among my intimate friends any member of the Squash family especially the little Squashes.</i>" The African American woman to whom he is speaking replies "<i>I'se 'quainted wid Missus Linkum I is washed far her 'fore de hebenly Miscegenation times was cum. Dont do nuffin now but gallevant 'round wid de white gem'men! he-ah! he-ah! he-ah!</i>"</p><p>Senator Charles Sumner says "<i>Mr. President! Allow me the honor of introducing my very dear friend Miss Dinah Arabella Aramintha Squash.</i>" A white carriage driver complains in the background "<i>Gla-a-ang there 240t! White driver white footmen niggers inside my heys! I wanted a situation when I took this one</i>" while a black man in the carriage tells his companion "<i>Phillis de_ah dars Sumner. We must not cut him if he is walking.</i>" A black woman at a table tells a white man with her "<i>Ah! Horace its-its-its-bully 'specially de cream</i>" and he replies "<i>Ah! my dear Miss Snowball we have at last reached our political and social Paradise. Isn't it extatic</i>"</p><p>To the right are two couples embracing each a white woman and an African American man. The first white women tells her partner "<i>Oh! You dear creature. I am so agitated! Go and ask Pa</i>" to which he replies "<i>Lubly Julia Anna name de day when Brodder Beecher shall make us one!</i>" The second white woman says "<i>Adolphus now you'll be sure to come to my lecture to morrow night won't you</i>" to which he answers "<i>I'll be there Honey on de front seat sure!</i>" In the background are various immigrant minorities viewing the scene. One exclaims "<i>Most hextwadinary! Aw neva witnessed the like in all me life if I did dem me!</i>" and another adds "<i>Mine Got vat a guntry vat a beebles!</i>" An Irish girl complains "<i>And is it to drag nagur babies that I left old Ireland Bad luck to me.</i>"</p><p>Manton Marble the editor of <i>The World</i> collaborated with printmaker Bromley & Company to issue a series of four anti-Lincoln "Political Caricatures." The present example was the No. 2 in that series. No. 1 was "The Grave of the Union or Major Jack Downing's Dream"; No. 3 "The Abolition Catastrophe Or the November Smash-up"; and No. 4 "The Miscegenation Ball."</p><p>Republicans responded by trying to turn the "miscegenation" charge against the Democrats. A Republican print "The Political "Siamese" Twins: The Offspring of Chicago Miscegenation" pictures McClellan and Pendleton joined together despite their very different ideas on ending the war.</p><p>Although Abraham Lincoln won New York states' electoral votes in 1860 Stephen Douglas had carried New York City and its environs. Financial elites fearing that civil war would ruin business and recent immigrants fearing competition with free black labor supported Douglas. Lincoln's unpopularity in New York City during the Civil War was a factor in the deadly 1863 Draft Riots.</p><p>In 1864 Lincoln again won the states' electoral votes while New York City favored his Democratic opponent McClellan. In fact Lincoln's majority dropped from 50136 votes in 1860 to only 7373 votes in 1864 with approximately 50000 more total votes cast than in 1860.</p><p>Bromley and Company continued to sell the caricatures after the election as this January 1865 advertisement from an Ohio newspaper makes clear. Another advertisement assured purchasers that the set of four prints available for $1 were "sent on wooden rollers to insure safe carriage."</p><p><b><i>The World</i></b> 1860-1931 a daily independent newspaper was published in New York City. Alexander Cummings founded it as a religious Republican outlet in 1860. August Belmont and others purchased it in 1862 changing the editorial focus. With editor Manton Marble 1834-1917 <i>The World</i> soon became the country's leading Democratic newspaper. In 1864 Union authorities shut down <i>The World</i>and another paper for three days after they published forged documents purportedly written by Lincoln that were really part of a hoax to manipulate the price of gold. The paper actively supported George B. McClellan against Lincoln in 1864.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Fine for exhibit despite flaws. Cropped with loss of "Political Caricature No. 2" from top edge and part of printed pricing information from bottom edge publisher's name rubbed out from the copyright statement lacking ½" from lower left corners a few short tape repairs by the edges a 2" closed tear through the second dialogue bubble along the top edge and a 3" closed tear parallel to the right edge.

New York: Currier & Ives 1860. Lithograph broadside 18 x 13-1/2 inches.</p><p>This scarce and iconic lithograph is a detailed humorous "parody on the field of presidential candidates and their supporters in the 1860 campaign." Bell and Everett for the Constitutional Union Party are there: Bell a muscle man holds Everett aloft on a barbell. Horace Greeley struggles to do a pull-up in his effort to gain the New York governorship while Lincoln is easily astride his own bar wooden rails offering helpful advice: "You must do as I did Greely get somebody to give you a boost. I'm sure I never could have got up here by my own efforts." The New York Courier's James Watson Webb does a backward somersault in the foreground.</p><p>The broadside evidently issued after the parties' nominating Conventions because Seward is depicted as a cripple "on crutches and with bandaged feet." Breckinridge and Douglas "the two sectional Democratic candidates compete in a boxing match."</p><p>Auction records for the last couple of years show a colored example with trimmed right margin selling for $8125 and a nice but sooty uncolored example for $5250. Both sold by Heritage. Measures 18 x 13-1/2 in. and is an ideal candidate for framing. Overall Near Fine. Professionally cleaned & mended.

Evenly-lightened with the image likely taken on a bright sunlit day.</p> <p>Unpublished and previously unknown. A rare photographic print created from a large format albumen photograph taken in 1865. The image captures Lincoln’s tomb being guarded by the Veteran Reserve Corps. The Reserve Corps were active from May to November 1865 helping to date when this image was first taken.</p> <p>As President Lincoln’s funeral train wended its way from Washington D.C. to Springfield “non-commissioned officers of the Veteran Reserve Corps were detailed to act as a body-guard and major generals of the army were directed to attend the train and keep watch so that at all times during the journey the coffin should be under their special guardianship.†Isaac N. Arnold</p> <p>The majority of photographs of Lincoln’s tomb taken in Springfield in 1865 were captured by two local photographers Ingmire and Tresize. They had a thriving business photographing various delegations in front of the Lincoln home and at the receiving tomb. Jonathan H. Mann</p> <p>Over the past two decades new examples of these tomb photographs have emerged suggesting that many individuals involved in the procession including honor guards made a pilgrimage and posed for the camera. Most of these images are found in carte-de-visite format. Larger formats like the present print hold greater significance and desirability. While the members of the Reserve Corps in this image may remain anonymous there are four individuals of higher rank depicted on the opposite side of the vault door who might be identifiable with closer examination. ibid</p> unknown‎

‎[CIVIL WAR; EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION]. LINCOLN, ABRAHAM‎

‎General Orders Containing General Order No. 139 the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation‎

‎Washington D.C.: War Department 1862. Calf marbled boards. Very Good. FIRST OBTAINABLE PRINTING OF THE PRELIMINARY EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION setting a date for the freedom of more than three million enslaved in the United States and reframing the Civil War as a fight against slavery. Issued by the War Department to regimental commanders in the field during the Civil War in the week after the completion of President Lincoln’s official manuscript version. Contained is a set of three volumes of General Orders covering the full year 1862 July-Dec 1863 and the full year 1864. History of the Emancipation Proclamation:<br /> <br /> “The proclamation has been called by responsible persons one of the three great<br /> documents of world history ranking with Magna Carta and the Declaration of<br /> Independence†– Eberstadt<br /> <br /> “From the first days of the Civil War slaves had acted to secure their own liberty. The Emancipation Proclamation confirmed their insistence that the war for the Union must become a war for freedom. It added moral force to the Union cause and strengthened the Union both militarily and politically. As a milestone along the road to slavery’s final destruction the Emancipation Proclamation has assumed a place among the great documents of human freedom†– National Archives<br /> <br /> Following the Seven Days Battle and General McClellan’s retreat from the Peninsula at the end of June 1862 President Lincoln realized that there would be no early end to the war and found himself “as inconsolable as it was possible for a human to be and yet live.†Anxious for news from the army and needing to escape the constant interruptions at the White House he frequently visited the telegraph office in the War Department building to await dispatches. It was during one such visit early in July that he asked the chief of the telegraph staff Major Thomas Thompson Eckert for some paper to “write something special†and began the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation completing it in a few weeks. Lincoln had long hoped to resolve the slavery issue through a congressional act of emancipation compensating slave owners for their loss of “property†but that approach was roundly rejected by representatives from the border states leaving the President who had decided upon the necessity of emancipation with a presidential proclamation as the only option. The extraordinary document he conceived would announce the liberation on January 1 1863 of all slaves in those states still in rebellion against the Union and promised compensation to slave owners in those states that returned to the fold before that time if they adopted “immediate or gradual abolishment of slavery.†This proclamation would be followed by a final proclamation issued on the 1st of January identifying those states still in rebellion and confirming the liberation of all slaves therein.<br /> <br /> On Tuesday July 22 Lincoln presented his draft to the Cabinet telling them that he had resolved firmly upon the course of action it specified and asking them not for advice but suggestions. The only observation he had not anticipated came from Secretary of State Seward who proposed that it might be best to wait for a military victory before issuing the Proclamation as it could otherwise seem like “the last measure of an exhausted government.†Immediately recognizing the wisdom of the suggestion Lincoln held back. On September 17 after an anxious wait of nearly two months he received the victory he needed at the bloody Battle of Antietam. Completing his final draft Lincoln presented it to his cabinet for refinement on September 22. Following the meeting Seward took the amended draft with him to the State Department where a formal manuscript copy was made then signed by Lincoln and Seward. The formal official “Emancipation Proclamation†was of course issued on January 1 1863 the day it became the law of the land.<br /> <br /> Printing History:<br /> <br /> This printing in the War Department’s official “General Orders†is the fourth printing overall but realistically the first obtainable printing. It is preceded by:<br /> <br /> -The first printing Eberstadt #1 a small three-page circular intended for distribution within the government and to the local press likely printed on September 22. At the time that Charles Eberstadt published his study of the Proclamation 1950 he was able to locate only one copy which he himself owned and as nearly as we have been able to determine no other copies have come to light since then.<br /> <br /> -The second printing Eberstadt #2 may be a phantom printing. Charles Eberstadt was not able to locate a copy but he inferred its existence from the standard State Department practice of printing a folio edition consisting solely of the text of the proclamation followed by another printing consisting of the text of a letter of transmittal from the Secretary of State as well as the text of the proclamation. While there may be a copy of Eberstadt #2 in the National Archives as he speculated it is not recorded in their online catalogue nor have we been able to find a copy in any other online catalogue including OCLC the Library of Congress and the Abraham Lincoln Library.<br /> <br /> -Eberstadt’s third printing is of legendary rarity. It consists of Secretary of State Seward’s one-page letter of transmittal addressed “To the Diplomatic and Consular Officers of the United States in foreign countries†and the text of the proclamation. Eberstadt located a total of only five copies in institutions at the Library of Congress the National Archives Yale the Clements Library and Brown. OCLC does not record any additional copies nor is it recorded in Monaghan. There has been one copy at auction $400000 in 2021 and that was described as the only copy in private hands. <br /> <br /> -The present copy General Orders No. 139 is Eberstadt’s fourth printing of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation dated in print on September 24. Eberstadt surmises that this field order printing could have been accomplished as late as September 29 or 30. Although it may have been printed in as many as 15000 copies it is very rare in commerce likely due to the ephemeral nature of the printing and distribution.<br /> <br /> Additional General Orders and Provenance:
<br /> <br /> The three volumes once belonged to John G. Haskell A.Q.M. Chief Quartermaster and contain the General Orders for the year 1862 July-December only for the year 1863 and for the full year 1864. John Gideon Haskell 1832-1907 was a resident of Kansas and joined the Union Army when the war broke out. He enlisted with the 14th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry Regiment and later served as Assistant Quartermaster General of Kansas as quartermaster of the Third Kansas and the Tenth Kansas Volunteers as Captain and Assistant Quartermaster on the staff of General James G. Blunt and as Chief Quartermaster of the Army of the Frontier. After the war Haskell was named official state architect and worked on the state house the capitol the State University and more.<br /> <br /> In addition to the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation the three volumes also contain the Acts of Congress on many other subjects including pay discharge recruitment handling of troops etc.<br /> <br /> Washington D.C.: War Department Adjutant General’s Office 1862-64. Three volumes. Small octavo contemporary three-quarter brown morocco two volumes with cloth boards one with marbled boards. Some rubbing and wear to bindings pencil notations on endpapers with collation and highlighting certain orders and some internal pages. Dampstaining to general title of 1862 volume; internal text and Emancipation Proclamation generally fine.
