[Rhode Island – Revolutionary War – State Debt] Richmond, John W
TO THE MEN OF RHODE-ISLAND! / Who love HONESTY and TRUTH
Providence Rhode Island: N.p. 1847. Broadside measuring 18 x 13 inches folded with damage to right margin somewhat stained with a few very small wormholes. Excellent. TO THE MEN OF RHODE-ISLAND! Who love HONESTY and TRUTH written in 1847 by John W. Richmond deals with the repayment of Revolutionary War debt. In 1846 lawyer Wilkins Updike published a book titled History of the Alleged State Debt of Rhode-Island in which he alleged that prominent men of Rhode Island were making essentially fraudulent claims that Rhode Island still owed them money for Revolutionary War loans. The basis of the dispute which was widespread in the postwar US was whether the debts should be repaid in specie or paper money; in 1786 Rhode Island legislators mandated creditors to accept paper money as payment. On Updike’s account the “dead debt was afterwards resuscitated by political legislation†prompting those with financial means to purchase the debt “for comparatively nothing and have and are now endeavouring to defraud the honest yeomanry out of it†by having it repaid in specie.1 In turn Richmond’s broadside accuses Wilkins of corrupt behavior for both denigrating the reputation of these purchasers and for neglecting to mention several settlements for payment of interest on these debts by the government of Rhode Island indicating that the debts were in fact owed and not fraudulent. Richmond who saw Wilkins as calling for a repudiation of the state’s debt calls him a “man so far degraded in his moral sensibilities†“self-disgraced†with his own “evident depravity†“pitiful†“miserable†and “unprincipled†a man “who knows no true open manly and honest course but vainly hopes by his corrupt acts to ride into political power.†<br /> <br /> The severity of this issue for Richmond led him to leave the state in disgust; his headstone in New London Connecticut tells that he was “unwilling that the remains of himself and family should be disgraced by being a part of the common earth of a Repudiating State.†We find eleven copies of TO THE MEN in OCLC.<br /> <br /> 1 Wilkins Updike History of the Alleged State Debt of Rhode-Island N.p. 4.

[Separation of Church and State] [Sexuality] [Privacy]
An Act to Prevent Frivolous and Vexatious Suits in Ecclesiastical Courts
London: Charles Eyre & Andrew Strahan 1787. First edition. 27 George III Chapter 44. A Fine copy measuring 310 x 190mm and collating complete: 2 987-988. A scarce and important piece of legal history which ESTC records at only one library Lincoln's Inn and which does not appear in the modern auction record. The present is the only example on the market. <br /> <br /> At the start of the Restoration "English church courts were revived by an act of Parliament on 27 July 1661 to resume their traditional task of correcting spiritual and moral misdemeanors. Soon thereafter parishioners across England's dioceses once more faced admonition fines excommunication and even imprisonment if they failed to conform to the laws of the restored Church of England" Aklund. As much as these courts sought to reestablish a monolithic Anglican communal identity during Charles II's reign their position in the 18th century became "a case study in the secularization of the legal system" particularly given their theoretical justification based in the problematic concept of divine right Harris. Numerous acts the present example among them "represented an important step in the direction of limiting the reach of of ecclesiastical jurisdiction" Harris. <br /> <br /> An Act to Prevent Frivolous and Vexatious Suits in Ecclesiastical Courts was passed in 1787 drawn from a bill presented in Parliament the previous year. Its major accomplishment was the removal of Church authority in the regulation of private sexual behaviors: "It shall be further enacted by the Authority aforesaid That no Suit shall be commenced in any Ecclesiastical Court for Fornication or Incontinence of for any striking or brawling." While the Church may have voiced its moral codes or enacted social shaming within its own communities it no longer had the legal authority to regulate or punish sexual behavior. Such secularization had significant benefits across a number of communities. For survivors of assault it ended the Church's ability to mandate that a woman marry her attacker; for queer communities it prevented Biblically based persecution; for sex workers it took away the risk of arrest or fines for conducting their livelihoods. Ultimately the jurisdiction of ecclesiastical courts over sexual behavior whether in the form of obscene or defamatory words sexual engagement and sensual pleasure was terminated by this act. Little to no legal regulation of sex would be enacted until the next century when the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act and a series of Contagious Diseases Acts would seek to give secular courts more control over individuals' bodies. <br /> <br /> ESTC N58717.

<p><strong>Rare New York Senate Print of Proposed State Law to Combat the <em>Dred Scott</em> Decision</strong></p><p>"<em>Every slave … who shall come or be brought or be involuntarily in this state shall be free.</em>"</p><p>SLAVERY AND ABOLITION—NEW YORK STATE.</p><p>New York Senate. "An Act To secure Freedom to all persons within this State" Edward M. Madden April 9 1857 Passed the Assembly on April 17; failed in the Senate. Printed with numbered lines for the use of the Senate. 1 p. 6.5 x 11.5 in. </p><p><strong>Excerpts</strong></p><p>"<em>Neither descent near or remote from an African…nor color of skin shall disqualify any person for being or prevent any person from becoming a citizen of this state; nor deprive such person of the rights and privileges of a citizen thereof.</em>"</p><p>"<em>Every person who shall hold or attempt to hold in this state in slavery…under any pretence or for any time however short shall be deemed guilty of felony and on conviction thereof shall be confined in the state prison at hard labor for a term not less than two nor more than ten years.</em>"</p><p><strong>Historical Background</strong></p><p>In 1799 the New York legislature passed "An Act for the gradual abolition of slavery" that indentured and would eventually free slave children born after July 4 1799. In 1817 it passed a law freeing those slaves in 1827. But non-residents and part-time residents could still bring their slaves into the state temporarily.</p><p>On March 14 1857 New York Assemblyman Samuel A. Foot introduced resolutions declaring that the U.S. Supreme Court through its decision in <em>Dred Scott v. Sanford</em> "has in effect declared slavery to be national" and calling for the creation of a joint committee of three senators and five assemblymen to "consider and report what measures if any the Legislature of this State ought to adopt to protect the constitutional rights of her citizens." The resolution passed by a vote of 49-24 and the Senate concurred on April 2.</p><p>On April 9 Edward M. Madden introduced this bill in the Senate. Simultaneously Foot introduced this bill #24129 and three resolutions #23389.08 in the Assembly. Eight days later the Assembly with 81 Republicans 38 Democrats and 8 American Party members passed the bill 72 to 38. In the Senate with 17 Republicans 9 American Party members Know Nothings and 4 Democrats attempts to move the bill to the Committee of the Whole were evenly divided. Lacking the two-thirds majority required for this procedure the bill died.</p><p>Very similar language appeared in an 1859 bill which also failed; New York passed no new Personal Liberty Law during the decade before the Civil War.</p><p>The New York Senate had thirty-two members in 1857 so it is likely no more than fifty copies of this bill were printed for Senate consideration. We can find no evidence that any other copies have survived.</p><p><strong>Edward M. Madden</strong> 1818-1885 was born in Orange County New York and began work at a cotton factory at age nine. He worked as a merchant and then opened a saw factory in Middletown. He entered politics as a Democrat and was a delegate to the 1852 Democratic state convention. He joined the new Republican Party and served as a member of the New York Senate in 1856-1857 1872-1873 1875 and 1880-1881. He also served as a delegate to the 1864 and 1876 Republican National Conventions.</p>

He continued as an independent journalist and in 1847 became the editor of the Boston Herald which he conducted with great vigor for one year before he died in Chelsea at the age of forty-four burned out.

Full text as follows: "Commonwealth of Massachusetts. By His Excellency Christopher Gore Governor and Commander of in Chief of the State Aforesaid A Proclamation for a Day of Humiliation Fasting and Prayer. In conformity with the invariable usage of this Commonwealth and with a Sense of our absolute Dependence on the beneficent Parent of Mankind and of our numerous and aggravated Offenses against his holy Will and Commandments I have thought fit to appoint and by and with the advice and consent of the council I do appoint THURSDAY the FIFTH DAY of APRIL next as a Day of Public Humiliation Fasting and Prayer in this Commonwealth. And I do request the Ministers and People of every Denomination throughout the same to assemble on that Day in their several Places of Public Worship that we may unitedly humble ourselves in the presence of Almighty God and acknowledge with deep Contrition our manifold Sins and Transgressions; that we may devoutly deprecate his Judgments and implore His merciful Forgiveness through the merits of our blessed Lord and Redeemer.While we thus bow in humble Adoration before the Most High let us render Him our unfeigned thanks for the numerous Instances of His continued Bounty towards us and our Forefathers whom He planted in this fruitful Soil; and in an especial manners that He endued Them with Wisdom to render this a Land of Piety Freedom and Order. And inasmuch as we have disregarded their Example and neglected those Principles by which They obtained and transmitted to us the inestimable Blessings of the Christian Religion of Law and of Liberty let us earnestly beseech Him to heal our Backslidings and to restore us to that Temper and Conduct by which alone we can hope to be Happy in this World and in that which is to come. At the same time that we look with all humility to His Grace for the Remission of our Sins let us with one mind and one voice supplicate His Blessing for us and our beloved Country; that He would alike preserve us from the Pestilence that walketh in Darkness and the Destruction that wasteth at Noon Day; that He would graciously smile on the Labors of the Husbandman and cause the Earth to bring forth her Increase in due Season; that He would relieve our Commerce from the Embarrassments with which it is burdened and grant that Prosperity may again distinguish our Navigation and Fisheries so that they who go down to the Sea in Ships and do Business in great Waters may have abundant reason to praise his Holy Name that he would afford success to our Manufactures and prosper all the Work of our Hands. That He would graciously condescend to direct the Government of the United States and give Them wisdom to discern and Firmness to pursue the true Interests of the Country; that He would preserve us from War and from all Connections that lead to Dishonor and Adversity; that He would dispel the Clouds that encompass us about and continue to us the Enjoyments of Peace Liberty and Religion; That He would influence the Governments of the several States to do every thing within their respective Spheres to preserve the Union Order Tranquility and Independence of the United States; that He would protect us from the assaults of open enemies and from the snares of insidious Friends; that He would suffer no weapon formed against us to prosper but would set at nought the Counsels of those who devise Mischief against us. That He would vouchsafe his Blessings on our University our Colleges and Seminaries of Learning; that He would advance all means used for propagating true Religion and promote the pious purposes of those who endeavor to disseminate a Knowledge of the holy Scriptures that all may learn his Will and obey his Commandments. And it is recommended that all servile Labour and Recreation be suspended upon the said Day. Given at the Council Chamber in Boston this twenty-seventh Day of February in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Ten and in the Thirty-fourth Year of the Independence of the United States of America. CHRISTOPHER GORE. By His Excellency the Governor with the advice and consent of the council. WILLIAM TUDOR Secretary of the State. GOD SAVE THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS!" Shaw & Shoemaker 20674.

From Ohio History Central: <br /> <br /> With the outbreak of the American Civil War in April 1861 Ohio Governor William Dennison dispatched George McClellan and Jacob Cox to the state arsenal in Columbus to investigate the guns and other supplies that Ohio had on hand to help equip the state's militia units. The two men discovered a few crates of rusted smoothbore muskets mildewed harnesses for horses and some six-pound cannons that could not be fired. Despite the lack of equipment Dennison encouraged Ohio communities to revive the militia system and form units that they would send to Columbus the state capital. Dennison entrusted McClellan with command of these units asking him to create a cohesive and professional force out of the volunteers. Most of these units formed the basis of Ohio Volunteer Infantry units which the State of Ohio eventually provided to the United States government for the war against the South. State of Ohio unknown
