ABRAHAM LINCOLN. THANKSGIVING
Lincoln Orders a National Day of Thanksgiving in Honor of the Union Victory at Gettysburg
<p>Lincoln's first call for a national day of Thanksgiving.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN. THANKSGIVING.</b>Broadside. <i>Proclamation of Thanksgiving</i>. Massachusetts probably Boston ca. July 27-August 6 1863. 1 p. 20 x 28 in.<p><br /></p><p>The upper portion prints Massachusetts Governor John A. Andrew's announcement of Lincoln's Proclamation dated July 27 1863 while the lower portion prints Lincoln's actual proclamation dated July 15 1863 designating August 6 as a "<i>day for National Thanksgiving Praise and Prayer.</i>" After Union victory at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 1-3 1863 on July 15 1863 Lincoln assigned August 6 to be "<i>a day for National Thanksgiving Praise and Prayer.</i>" This was his first proclamation of a national day of thanksgiving.</p><p><b>Complete Text</b></p><p><i>Proclamation of Thanksgiving</i></p><p><i>July 15 1863</i></p><p><i>By the President of the United States of America.</i></p><p><i>A Proclamation.</i></p><p><i>It has pleased Almighty God to hearken to the supplications and prayers of an afflicted people and to vouchsafe to the army and the navy of the United States victories on land and on the sea so signal and so effective as to furnish reasonable grounds for augmented confidence that the Union of these States will be maintained their constitution preserved and their peace and prosperity permanently restored. But these victories have been accorded not without sacrifices of life limb health and liberty incurred by brave loyal and patriotic citizens. Domestic affliction in every part of the country follows in the train of these fearful bereavements. It is meet and right to recognize and confess the presence of the Almighty Father and the power of His Hand equally in these triumphs and in these sorrows:</i></p><p><i>Now therefore be it known that I do set apart Thursday the 6th. day of August next to be observed as a day for National Thanksgiving Praise and Prayer and I invite the People of the United States to assemble on that occasion in their customary places of worship and in the forms approved by their own consciences render the homage due to the Divine Majesty for the wonderful things he has done in the Nation's behalf and invoke the influence of His Holy Spirit to subdue the anger which has produced and so long sustained a needless and cruel rebellion to change the hearts of the insurgents to guide the counsels of the Government with wisdom adequate to so great a national emergency and to visit with tender care and consolation throughout the length and breadth of our land all those who through the vicissitudes of marches voyages battles and sieges have been brought to suffer in mind body or estate and finally to lead the whole nation through the paths of repentance and submission to the Divine Will back to the perfect enjoyment of Union and fraternal peace.</i></p><p><i>In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.</i></p><p><i>Done at the city of Washington this fifteenth day of July in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three and of the Independence of the United States of America the eighty-eighth.</i></p><p><i>By the President: ABRAHAM LINCOLN</i></p><p><i>WILLIAM H. SEWARD Secretary of State.</i></p><p><b>Historic Background</b></p><p>In 1861 and earlier in 1863 Lincoln proclaimed days of "national humiliation fasting and prayer." Soon after he issued this proclamation assigning August 6 1863 as a day of "National Thanksgiving" he was moved by a letter from Sarah Josepha Hale who had lobbied the four prior presidents unsuccessfully to make Thanksgiving a third national holiday in addition to Independence Day and Washington's Birthday. On October 3 1863 exactly 74 years after George Washington's first Presidential Thanksgiving Proclamation Lincoln established the fourth Thursday in November as an annual national day of Thanksgiving.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Professionally mended along several folds and flattened; minor toning and offsetting.</p>

<p><b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Currier & Ives. Lithograph New York 1865. In 24 x 29 in. hand-gilt frame. </p><p>From the hairs on Lincoln's head to the fabric of his suit this lithograph is a beautifully detailed rendering and remains even with a few areas of foxing a commanding showpiece.</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>The copyright date of <i>"1865"</i> along the bottom edge suggests that this oversized portrait was created to honor either Lincoln's second presidential term or his untimely death.</p><p>Lithographer <b>Nathaniel Currier</b> 1813-1888 and artist <b>James Merritt Ives</b>1824-1895 formed Currier & Ives in New York City in 1857 to publish art prints. The company closed in 1907 after the deaths of its founders when business had declined due to new printing technologies and changing artistic tastes.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>There are a few areas of light age toning. It is displayed in a vintage frame not contemporary to 1865 as we bought it so it is not guaranteed to be archival.</p>

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Lincoln Proclaims a National Day of Humiliation and Prayer
<p>The president calls on loyal citizens to implore the "<i>Supreme Ruler of the World not to destroy us as a people.</i>"</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Broadside "<i>A Proclamation for a Day of Humiliation and Prayer</i>" July 7 1864 printed under a forwarding Proclamation by Governor John Andrew of Massachusetts July 28 1864. 1 p. 18¼ x 27¾ in.<p>With the outcome of the war still far from clear this broadside announces to the people of Massachusetts Lincoln's proclamation of a national day of prayer. Eight weeks prior at Cold Harbor Grant had lost some 7000 Union troops in the span of 20 minutes. The siege of Petersburg was just six weeks old.</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Following the examples of presidents Washington Adams and Madison Lincoln issued at least eight proclamations calling for days of humiliation prayer fasting or thanksgiving. His proclamation of October 3 1863 established the precedent of the fourth Thursday of every November as a national day of thanksgiving. Congress must have worried that this was not sufficient. They could not know then that Cold Harbor would be Lee's last major victory. On July 2 1864 Congress passed a joint resolution requested that Lincoln call for an additional day of "national humiliation and prayer." Lincoln set the first Thursday in August 1864 as a day to pray for a speedy end to the war. It would be another eight months before that prayer was answered.</p><p><b>Complete Transcript</b></p><p><i>Commonwealth of Massachusetts.</i></p><p><i>By His Excellency</i></p><p><i>John A. Andrew</i></p><p><i>Governor:</i></p><p><i>A Proclamation.</i></p><p><i>Whereas The President of the United States of America did by his Proclamation Dated at Washington on the 7th day of July last "appoint the first THURSDAY of August next to be observed by the People of the United States as a day of National Humiliation and Prayer;" requesting the solemn and religious observance of that day on the part of all the people of the United States by abstaining from secular pursuits and by acts of devotion and of public worship:</i></p><p><i>I do therefore direct and request that this Proclamation of the Chief Executive Magistrate of the Nation be published and promulgated to the people of Massachusetts in the same manner in which the Governor of Massachusetts is accustomed to be promulgated concerning the annual Fast observed in the Commonwealth. And I especially invoke the attention of all ministers of the Gospel as well as of all the good people of Massachusetts in order that the day thus devoted as a National Sabbath to the special services and duties of penitence prayer and the worship of God may be duly observed throughout our Commonwealth.</i></p><p><i> John A. Andrew.</i></p><p><i>Executive Department July 28 1864.</i></p><p><i>By His Excellency the Governor:</i></p><p><i> Oliver Warner Secretary.</i></p><p><i>God save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>By His Excellency</i></p><p><i>Abraham Lincoln</i></p><p><i>President of the United States of America:</i></p><p><i>A Proclamation for a Day of Humiliation and Prayer.</i></p><p><i>Whereas the Senate and House of Representatives at their last session adopted a concurrent resolution which was approved on the second day of July instant and which was in the words following namely:</i></p><p><i>"That the President of the United States be requested to appoint a day for humiliation and prayer by the people of the United States; that he request his constitutional advisers at the head of the Executive Departments to unite with him as Chief Magistrate of the nation at the city of Washington and the members of Congress and all magistrates all civil military and naval officers all soldiers sailors and marines with all loyal and law-abiding people to convene at their usual places of worship or wherever they may be to confess and to repent of their manifold sins; to implore the compassion and forgiveness of the Almighty that if consistent with His will the existing rebellion may be speedily suppressed and the supremacy of the Constitution and the laws of the United States may be established throughout all the States; to implore Him as the Supreme Ruler of the World not to destroy us as a people nor suffer us to be destroyed by the hostility or connivance of other nations or by obstinate adhesion to our own counsels which may be in conflict with His eternal purposes and to implore Him to enlighten the mind of the nation to know and to do His will humbly believing that it is in accordance with His will that our place should be maintained as a united people among the family of nations; to implore Him to grant our armed defenders and the masses of the people that courage power of resistance and endurance necessary to secure that result; to implore Him in His infinite goodness to soften the hearts enlighten the minds and quicken the consciences of those in rebellion that they may lay down their arms and speedily return to their allegiance to the United States that they may not be utterly destroyed that the effusion of blood may be stayed and that unity and fraternity may be restored and peace established throughout all our borders."</i></p><p><i>Now therefore I Abraham Lincoln President of the United States cordially concurring with the Congress of the United States in the penitential and pious sentiments expressed in the aforesaid resolution and heartily approving of the devotional design and purpose thereof do hereby appoint the first Thursday of August next to be observed by the people of the United States as a day of national humiliation and prayer.</i></p><p><i>I do hereby further invite and request the heads of the executive departments of this Government together with all legislators all judges and magistrates and all other persons exercising authority in the land whether civil military or naval and all soldiers seamen and marines in the national service and all the other loyal and law-abiding people of the United States to assemble in their preferred places of public worship on that day and there to render to the Almighty and Merciful Ruler of the Universe such homage and such confessions and to offer to Him such supplications as the Congress of the United States have in their aforesaid resolution so solemnly so earnestly and so reverently recommended.</i></p><p><i>In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United Stated to be affixed.</i></p><p><i>Done at the city of Washington this seventh day of July in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four and of the independence of the United States the eighty-ninth.</i></p><p><i> Abraham Lincoln</i></p><p><i>By the President:</i></p><p><i> William H. Seward Secretary of State</i></p><p><b>Additional Historical Background</b></p><p>Ulysses S. Grant appointed by Lincoln in March 1864 as General-in-Chief of the Union Armies relied on the North's superior resources to attack relentlessly wear down and destroy Lee's army but the cost in lives was horrific. In the Virginia Battles of the Wilderness Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor in May and June of 1864 the Union army suffered 65000 casualties. Despite the toll Grant refused to back down. At Spotsylvania he wrote a dispatch that summed up his attitude: "I propose to fight it out along this line if it takes all summer."</p>

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Lincoln Reads the Emancipation Proclamation to His Cabinet
<p>An engraving by Alexander Hay Ritchie commemorates the moment Lincoln first presented the Emancipation Proclamation to his Cabinet.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Print. <i>The First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation Before the Cabinet</i>. Engraved by Alexander Hay Ritchie after 1864 painting of Francis Bicknell Carpenter. New York: Alexander H. Ritchie 1866. 36 x 24 in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Francis Bicknell Carpenter</b> 1830-1900 a New York artist was so impressed with Lincoln's bold act that he recruited Illinois Congressman and abolitionist Owen Lovejoy to arrange a White House sitting. Carpenter met Lincoln on February 6 1864 and was allowed to set up a studio in the State Dining Room. Carpenter set his painting in Lincoln's office which also served as the Cabinet Room. Lincoln reportedly told Carpenter where each person was seated on the day he read them the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. The artist was delighted that their placement was "entirely consistent with my purpose." To the left of Lincoln were Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton and Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase the most radical members of his cabinet. A portrait of former Secretary of War Simon Cameron is also on the left of the painting. To the right of Lincoln around the table are Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles Secretary of the Interior Caleb Smith Secretary of State William H. Seward Postmaster General Montgomery Blair and Attorney General Edward Bates the more conservative members of Lincoln's advisers. Lincoln sat at the head of the table between the two groups "but the uniting point of both" according to Carpenter.</p><p>After a temporary exhibit in the White House and Capitol in 1864 the fifteen-foot wide painting toured the country. Carpenter offered the painting to Congress which refused to make an appropriation for it. In 1877 Elizabeth Thompson of New York purchased the painting for $25000 and offered it to the nation. Congress formally accepted the gift on the sixty-ninth anniversary of Lincoln's birth. It hangs in the U.S. Senate. In 1866 book Carpenter also published a book <i>Six Months at the White House with Abraham Lincoln</i>.</p><p>This lithographic print by Scottish-born <b>Alexander H. Ritchie</b>1822-1895 captured and popularized Carpenter's painting before Carpenter made a series of alterations to the original most significantly in revising Lincoln's head and moving the quill pen from near Seward to in Lincoln's hand.</p><p>The National Portrait Gallery has a ledger page signed by Lincoln Stanton Chase Seward Wells and other members of Lincoln's administration ordering proof copies of Ritchie's print.</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>On July 22 Lincoln read a draft of his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation to his entire cabinet. In contrast to the Confiscation Acts of 1861 and 1862 the Emancipation Proclamation addressed only property in slaves and liberated all slaves in areas in rebellion not only those of rebellious masters. At Seward's urging Lincoln agreed to withhold announcing it until the Union forces had achieved a victory so that it did not appear especially to European observers to be the desperate act of a losing war effort.</p><p>Two months later when Union troops stopped Confederate General Robert E. Lee's invasion of Maryland at Antietam Creek Lincoln finally had his opportunity. On September 22 1862 Lincoln issued his Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation giving the South 100 days to end the rebellion or face losing their slaves. On both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line Lincoln's order was condemned as a usurpation of property rights and an effort to start racial warfare.</p><p>When the South failed to acquiesce Lincoln as promised issued the final Emancipation Proclamation on January 1 1863. With this Executive Order he took a decisive stand on the most contentious issue in American history redefined the Union's goals and strategy and sounded the death knell for slavery. The full text of his proclamation reveals the major issues of the Civil War: slave labor as a Confederate resource; slavery as a central war issue; the status of African Americans who escaped to Union lines; courting border states; Constitutional and popular constraints on emancipation; hopes of reunion; questions of Northern acceptance of black soldiers; and America's place in a world moving toward abolition. The President took the action "sincerely believed to be an act of justice" knowing that it might cost Republicans in the fall 1862 elections.</p><p>The final Proclamation showed Lincoln's own progression on the issue of slavery and eliminated earlier references to colonizing freed blacks and compensating slave owners for voluntary emancipation. It also added provisions for black military enlistment. Pausing before he signed the final Proclamation Lincoln reportedly said: "I never in my life felt more certain that I was doing right than I do in signing this paper."</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Toned and slightly cropped.</p>

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Lincoln's 1861 State of the Union Message
<p><b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Book. <i>Message of the President of the United States to the Two Houses of Congress. Volume 1</i> Washington: Government Printing Office 1861. 839 pp. 5¾ x 8¾ in. </p><b>Excerpt</b><p><i>"A disloyal portion of the American people have during the whole year been engaged in an attempt to divide and destroy the Union. A nation which endures factious domestic division is exposed to disrespect abroad and one party if not both is sure sooner or later to invoke foreign intervention. </i></p><p><i> Nations thus tempted to interfere are not always able to resist the counsels of seeming expediency and ungenerous ambition although measures adopted under such influences seldom fail to be unfortunate and injurious to those adopting them. </i></p><p><i> The disloyal citizens of the United States who have offered the ruin of our country in return for the aid and comfort which they have invoked abroad have received less patronage and encouragement than they probably expected.</i></p><p><i> It continues to develop that the insurrection is largely if not exclusively a war upon the first principle of popular government--the rights of the people. Conclusive evidence of this is found in the most grave and maturely considered public documents as well as in the general tone of the insurgents. In those documents we find the abridgment of the existing right of suffrage and the denial to the people of all right to participate in the selection of public officers except the legislative boldly advocated with labored arguments to prove that large control of the people in government is the source of all political evil. Monarchy itself is sometimes hinted at as a possible refuge from the power of the people. </i></p><p><i> In my present position I could scarcely be justified were I to omit raising a warning voice against this approach of returning despotism."</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>President Lincoln's first message to Congress in 1861 immediately follows the title page. In the first year of both his presidency and the Civil War Lincoln criticizes disloyal citizens who are trying to ruin the country. He acknowledges that the Confederates firing on Fort Sumter ended hope of a peaceful solution and expresses his confidence in General McClellan. Lincoln also expounds on the foreign affairs the relationship of labor to capital and reports on domestic commerce and other affairs. The remainder of the book is over 400 pages of papers relating to foreign affairs and correspondence with other nations and diplomats. The second half of the book is made up of the Reports of the Secretaries of the Interior War Navy and Postmaster General.</p><p><b>Condition </b></p><p>Good. Original cloth boards with U.S. seal and titled spine some slight chipping and wear to boards and spine binding a little loose and front endpaper almost detached hinges a bit weak but still firm some aging but generally clean internally.</p> hardcover

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Lincoln's Third State of the Union Address and Amnesty Proclamation
<p>Contains Lincoln's entire 1863 Message to Congress where he reaffirmed his commitment to emancipation as well as His Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction which laid out a plan to return the rebellious states to the Union fold. Commonly called the "Ten Percent Plan" it allowed for a state to hold new elections when 10% of its 1860 voters took a loyalty oath to the Union.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Newspaper. <i>New York Times</i> New York N.Y. Dec. 10 1863 with <i>"Supplement to The New York Times"</i> complete with its own masthead. 12 pp. 14¾ x 21 in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpt</b></p><p>"<i>To now abandon them would be not only to relinquish a lever of power but would also be a cruel and an astounding breach of faith. I may add at this point that while I remain in my present position I shall not attempt to retract or modify the emancipation proclamation nor shall I return to slavery any person who is free by the terms of that proclamation or by any of the acts of Congress.</i>"</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Throughout the fall of 1863 eventual Union victory became increasingly clear and on December 8 1863 Lincoln issued his Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction. This lenient plan that offered citizens of the rebellious states full pardons voting and property rights except possession of slaves encouraged the states to begin addressing the issue of the freedmen and women without compromising their rights and allowed a former Confederate state to hold elections and form a pro-Union government once 10% of the number of voters in the 1860 election swore loyalty oaths. Commonly called the "Ten Percent Plan" it reflected both Lincoln's charitable view of Reconstruction as well as the reality that heavy penalties denial of voting and property rights to rebels and impoverishing the South was no way to rebuild a nation after a war fought at least initially to preserve the Union.</p>

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Lincoln's Compensated Emancipation Proposal
<p>The United States is the only nation in history to end slavery through Civil War. Nations as diverse as Russia the British Empire France Brazil and others around the world ended their reliance on slave labor through legislative means that included some form of compensation to slave owners for their lost "assets." Here the <i>Philadelphia Inquirer</i>reports on the front page that Lincoln presented a special message to Congress with a plan to end slavery through compensation. There would be no takers among the slaveholding border states.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Newspaper. <i>Philadelphia Inquirer</i>. Philadelphia Pa. March 7 1862. 8 pp. 15½ x 20½ in. With <i>"Message from the President.Resolved That the United States ought to co-operate with any State which may adopt gradual abolition of slavery."</i> Printing Lincoln's March 5 message to Congress on page 1.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Nearly a year into the Civil War Lincoln had rightly concluded that the cost of continuing the war would far outreach the price tag of purchasing all the slaves in the loyal border states terming his measure "one of the most efficient means of self-preservation" and stating "in my judgment gradual and not sudden emancipation is better for all."</p><p>To this end Lincoln called for a Congressional resolution endorsing compensated emancipation and pledging federal support to states that adopted it. Paying to end slavery he insisted would ensure the border slave states would have nothing to gain by joining the Confederacy. Moreover if compensated emancipation succeeded in the border states it would serve as a model for utilizing gradual emancipation elsewhere to end the bloody conflict. Lincoln delivered his message to Congress on March 6 1862.</p><p>A week later Lincoln wrote to California War Democratic Senator James A. McDougall asking him to renounce his opposition to the proposal explaining that $1000000 less than one half-day's cost of the war would buy all the slaves in Delaware at $400 per head. Lincoln further estimated that buying the freedom of the 432622 slaves in Delaware Maryland Kentucky Missouri and Washington D.C. would amount to $173048800 — the cost of war for 87 days. "Do you doubt" Lincoln wrote "that taking these initiatory steps would shorten the war more than eighty-seven days and thus be an actual saving of expense" The president argued his plan's costs were minimal by comparison. "The sum thus given" he wrote to McDougall "would not be half as onerous as . the indefinite prosecution of the war."</p><p>The idea of compensated emancipation never took root. Lincoln's plan although not an actual law—merely a joint resolution declaring the policy came before Congress and passed both House and Senate by large majorities on April 10 1862. However not one vote came from the border-state Democrats. In support of the spirit of the original resolution Congress then passed a bill that provided for gradual compensated emancipation in the District of Columbia. On April 16 the President signed a historic bill prohibiting slavery in the District of Columbia that entitled District slave owners to $300 per slave. Freed slaves who joined Lincoln's overseas colonization plan were allocated up to $100 each. The <i>District of Columbia Emancipation Act</i> remains the only example of compensated emancipation ever put into practice in the United States.</p><p>The rejection of compensated emancipation demonstrates just how deeply slavery was entrenched in the Southern states—and how deeply abolitionist sentiments ran in the North. On June 19 1862 Congress acting on their constitutional authority to govern the territories passed an act abolishing slavery there without compensation. Meanwhile Lincoln continued his appeal for gradual emancipation and to his frustration the border states remained unmoved. Lincoln saw opportunity slipping away. With Congress about to adjourn he addressed a July 12 special message to border state leaders. "If you all had voted for the resolution in the gradual emancipation message of last March" he charged "the war would now be substantially ended." While giving the states another chance to reconsider the president also hinted the opportunity would not last: "The incidents of the war can not be avoided. If the war continue long.if the object be not sooner attained the institution in your states will be extinguished by mere friction and abrasion.It will be gone and you will have nothing valuable in lieu of it."</p><p>Indeed as the war's cost and the death toll rose public opinion began shifting to more a more radical position on slavery and Union politicians followed the lead. On July 17 Congress passed the Second Confiscation Act emancipating all slaves belonging to "treasonous" persons assisting the rebellion. It also forbade the military to return fugitive slaves and authorized the president to employ "persons of African descent" in any capacity in order to suppress the rebellion. The Militia Act passed by Congress the same day specifically permitted "persons of African descent" to serve in the military and granted those escaped slaves serving their freedom.</p><p>On July 22 Lincoln took the next step in his personal evolution on the abolition of slavery and convened another Cabinet meeting to announce he was prepared to take the even more radical step of emancipation without compensation. His cabinet persuaded him to wait for a Union victory before issuing the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. The opportunity would come at Antietam in September and on January 1 1863 Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation signaling the death knell for slavery in the United States. He proved himself correct; slavery had been "extinguished" and slaveholders had "nothing valuable in lieu of it."</p><p>In the nine months leading up to Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation the federal government spent nearly one million dollars to gain the freedom of approximately 3100 slaves in Washington D.C. These were the only American slaveholders who received anything of value for their "property."</p>

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Lincoln's Spot Resolutions
<p>Lincoln's spot resolution and speech condemns the pretexts for starting the war with Mexico. He requests proof from President Polk that American blood was shed on American soil and that the enemy provoked the Americans and he asks if those Americans present were ordered there by the United States Army.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Newspaper. <i>National Intelligencer</i> Thursday December 23 1847. Washington: Gales & Seaton . 4 pp. Offered with another issue of the <i>National Intelligencer</i> January 20 1848. 4 pp.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpts:</b></p><p><b>December 23 1847 issue</b></p><p>Page 2 bottom of first column to second column</p><p><i>Mr. LINCOLN moved the following preamble and resolutions which were read and laid over under the rule:</i></p><p><i> Whereas the President of the United States in his message of May 11 1846 has declared that "the Mexican Government not only refused to receive him the envoy of the United States or listen to his propositions but after a long-continued series of menaces have at last invaded </i>our territory<i> and shed the blood of our fellow citizens on</i> our own soil<i>."</i></p><p><i> And again in his message of December 8 1846 that "we had ample cause of war against Mexico long before the breaking out of hostilities; but even we forbore to take redress into our own hands until Mexico herself became the aggressor by invading </i>our soil <i>in hostile array and shedding the blood of our citizens."</i></p><p><i> And yet again in his message of December 7 1847.</i></p><p> Resolved by the House of Representatives<i> that the President of the United States be respectfully requested to inform this House—</i></p><p><i> 1st. Whether the spot on which the blood of our citizens was shed as in his messages declared was or was not within the territory of Spain at least after the treaty of 1819 until the Mexican Revolution.</i></p><p><i> 2d. Whether that spot is or is not within the territory which was wrested from Spain by the revolutionary Government of Mexico. </i></p><p><i> 3d. Whether that spot is or is not within a settlement of people which settlement has existed ever since long before the Texas revolution and until its inhabitants fled before the approach of the United States army.</i></p><p> <i>4th. Whether that settlement is or is not isolated from any and all other settlements by the Gulf and the Rio Grande on the south and west and by wide uninhabited regions on the north and east.</i></p><p><i> 5th. Whether the people of that settlement or a majority of them have ever submitted themselves to the government or laws of Texas or of the United States by consent or by compulsion either by accepting office or voting at elections or paying tax or serving on juries or having process served upon them or in any other way.</i></p><p><i> 6th . Whether the people of that settlement did or did not flee from the approach of the United States army leaving unprotected their homes and their growing crops </i>before<i> the blood was shed as in the messages stated; and whether the first blood so shed was or was not shed within the enclosure of one of the people who had thus fled from it. </i></p><p><i> 7th. Whether our </i>citizens<i> whose blood was shed as in his messages declared were or were not at that time armed officers and soldiers sent into that settlement by the military order of the President through the Secretary of War.</i></p><p><i> 8th. Whether the military force of the United States was or was not so sent into that settlement after Gen. Taylor had more than once intimated to the War Department that in his opinion no such movement was necessary to the defense or protection of Texas. </i></p><p><i> Several resolutions of inquiry were here offered my Messrs. GEORGE S. HOUSTON W.P. HALL PHELPS GREEN McCLELLAND and KAUFMAN which are omitted for want of room.</i></p><p><b>January 20 1848 issue: </b></p><p>Page 2 bottom of 3rd column thru 6th column. In this lengthy address Lincoln questions President Polk's judgment regarding the aims and prosecution of the war in Mexico putting it in the context of the American Revolution: <i>"Texas revolutionized against Mexico and became the owner of something…if she got it in any way she got it by revolution; one of the most sacred of rights—the right which he believed was yet to emancipate the world; the right of a people if they have a government they do not like to rise and shake it off…He talked like an insane man. He did not propose to give Mexico any credit at all for the country we had already conquered; he proposed to take more than he asked for last fall…"</i></p><p>Additional news: page 2 middle of 4th column prints a lively senatorial debate involving Jefferson Davis. Page 3 bottom of 2nd column <i>"Mr. LINCOLN from the same committee reported a bill for the relief of William Fuller and Orlando Saltmarsh. Read and committed." </i>Page 4 middle of 3rd column <i>"By Mr. LINCOLN: A bill to amend an act entitled 'An Act to raise for a limited time an additional military force and for other purposes' approved February 11 1847."</i> This act gave the president permission to raise one regiment of dragoons and nine regiments of infantry to be used in the war with Mexico. In addition the act dealt with the logistics of each regiment such as raising the pay for field surgeons or adding a quartermaster to each regiment.</p>
