Slavery and Abolition Smith Gerrit
Letter to William H. Seward March 13 1855
Peterboro: Self-Published 1855. First Edition. Single sheet folded 10 x 10 inches. Very Good. One of several public letters by Smith to Seward this one discussing the Fugitive Slave Law. Smith by the mid-1850s had grown increasingly frustrated by the abolitionist movement's willingness to compromise. Seward an early figure in the Republican party sought more gradual measures. Smith writes: "Instead of interpreting constitutions and statutes in the light of human rights you interpret human rights in the light of constitutions and statutes. I own that you stand as an antislavery man very far above most of our statesmen. but I would have you stand farther above them." Smith's growing impatience with the compromising nature of the abolitionist movement would later lead him to support the efforts of John Brown and the free-state movement in Kansas. "When most Liberty party leaders agreed to merge with more moderate antislavery factions to form the Free Soil party in 1848 Smith balked at what he regarded as abandonment of the abolitionist commitment to immediate emancipation." - ANB. A very good copy with a light stain to margin else near fine. Six copies in OCLC. Self-Published unknown

Slavery and Abolition.
The Modern Democratic Creed! Letter of John Brodhead Democratic Candidate for City Treasurer…
Letterpress broadside 18 7/8" x 11 3/4" bold black type for highlighted words. Paper evenly toned some wrinkling considerable archival conservation and restoration with archival paper repair; despite the imperfections it is still a decent copy with a nice impression. This appears to fall into the political dirty tricks department in an election between John Brodhead and Henry Bumm for city treasurer in Philadelphia. The broadside is supposed to highlight a letter from John Brodhead to Jefferson Davis in 1860. It has strong racist overtones as Brodhead supposedly requests a position in Nicaragua so he can "help open it up to civilization and Niggers." He goes on to state he is "tired of being a white slave at the North and long for a home in the sunny South." These kinds of political tricks were not uncommon during the Civil War period perhaps that's still true today and the racist overtones would certainly not help one's chances in a Northern election.

SLAVERY NEWTON John
Ängelske Sid-Captenens federmera Predikantens Johan Newtons synnerligen märkwärdiga Rese- och Leswernes-Beskrifning. Pastoren Doctor T. Haweis.
Stockholm: Carl Fr. Marquard 1802. Joints starting but firm unnumbered final contents page torn with loss and with rather basic paper repair; a worn but not unattractive copy. Small octavo wear to title-page and final text leaf contemporary half calf lending-library binding with original borrowing rules pasted to front paste-down Very uncommon: the first Swedish edition of this series of letters by the English clergyman and former slave-ship owner John Newton best known as the author of the hymn "Amazing Grace". The letters are written to Thomas Haweis co-founder of the London Missionary Society and the editor of the 1799 account of the Duff voyage to Tahiti. After a difficult career as a young man at sea Newton experienced a conversion in 1748 although for more than a decade he continued his association with slave-ships. It was not until 1764 that Thomas Haweis managed to get Newton the living for Olney in Buckinghamshire the same year that this work was first published in England An Authentic Narrative of some Remarkable and Interesting Particulars. Communicated in a series of letters to the Reverend Mr. Haweis. This Swedish translation is based on a German-language edition of 1791. Becoming a prominent abolitionist in 1788 Newton published Thoughts Upon the Slave Trade a horrific account of the Middle Passage.

Slavery Peters Richard
Report of the Case of Edward Prigg against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Argued and Adjudged in the Supreme Court of the United States at January Term 1842
Philadelphia: stereotyped by L. Johnson 1842. First edition. 140 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Original brown ribbed cloth rebacked with original spine laid down titled in gilt. Marginal dampstaining throughout scattered foxing some wear to boards good. First edition. 140 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. First edition of this report of this monumental Supreme Court decision regarding escaped slaves preceding by 15 years and rivaling in importance the Dred Scott case of 1857. "In Prigg the Court identified slavery as a core constitutional commitment with which states could not interfere. In this case the Court struck down northern states' 'personal liberty laws' established to protect alleged fugitive slaves from recapture without due process of law. When the professional 'slave catcher' Edward Prigg tried to remove Margaret Moran an alleged runaway he was unable to meet the burden of proof set out by Pennsylvania's 1826 Personal Liberty Law and failed to obtain the legal certificate permitting him to remove her. When Prigg proceeded to ignore this and removed Moran illegally to Maryland Pennsylvania convicted him of kidnapping. The US Supreme Court however overwhelmingly overturned Prigg's conviction 8-1 and pronounced state laws interfering with the return of alleged runaways a violation of the Fugitive Slave Clause." Beaumont The Civic Constitution 2014 p. 128. Blockson 9905; Dummond p. 140; Sabin 61207 stereotyped by L. Johnson unknown books

Slavery Wilson Henry
Speech of Henry Wilson of Mass. Delivered in the Senate February 21st 1861 on the Resolutions of Mr. Crittenden proposing Amendments to the Constitution of the United States
Washington 1861. First Edition. 16 pages. Edges and spine tattered some soiling of first and last leaves partially unopened. First Edition. Crittenden Compromise. In December 1860 Senator J. J. Crittenden of Kentucky presented a plan to the Senate for a peaceful solution to the slavery question. His proposal to be amended to the Constitution provided that north of 36� 30' the Missouri Compromise line and in any territory later acquired or then part of the country slavery would be prohibited; that in areas in the slave states that were under Federal jurisdiction slavery could only be prohibited with suitable compensation to the slave owners and the consent of Virginia and Maryland; that the Federal Government was not allowed to interfer in the transit of slaves from one state to another; to purchase territory in South America or Africa and send free negroes at the expense of the Treasury to that land; and that Congress could not interfer in areas where slavery already existed. This plan was rejected on 21 December 1860 and in February and March 1861 Congress passed a resolution for an amendment which denied Congress the right to interfer with slavery in the slave-states. This resolution was never ratified. Wilson's speech objects to Crittenden's plan citing it as a "the Crittenden Compromise-to be supported by the Representives of millions of northern freeman on pain of having their fidelity to the Union questioned by the Senator from Illinois and his confederates in and out of this Chamber." Henry Wilson was active in goverment most of his adult life in 1873 he became Vice President under Grant a position that he held until his death in 1875. <br/><br/> unknown

Slavery.
Kentucky manuscript legal documents in a suit over ownership of a young female slave and her infant daughter.
<p>Folio manuscript legal sheets 11 pp. plus docketing on final back sheet. Traces of wax in some margins. Paper is browned and aged some minor creasing at folds margin hole on a couple of pages not affecting text; otherwise very good. This is a very complex legal case about the ownership of two slaves. These manuscript documents are signed by the three Constables deposed as witnesses. The testimony is taken at the law offices of Lysander G. Gordon. It seems that an individual who owed people money was forced to give the slaves to a sheriff and were then sold to William Knox in Southern Tennessee. However it appears that the slaves actually belonged to someone else. These documents try to sort though this mess. </p>
