‎ABRAHAM LINCOLN‎

‎Trial of Abraham Lincoln by the Great Statesmen of the Republic a Mock Trial of President Lincoln for Treason‎

‎<p>In this creative pamphlet Lincoln stands trial before a jury of his "peers" former presidents and statesmen from American history including Stephen A. Douglas Daniel Webster Henry Clay John Hancock Patrick Henry Gouverneur Morris Alexander Hamilton John C. Calhoun James Madison George Mason Elbridge Gerry Andrew Jackson Thomas Jefferson George Washington and William Gaston. The author compiles passages from their speeches in mock dialogue with the defendant Lincoln as they contradict his defenses against their charges.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Pamphlet. <i>Trial of Abraham Lincoln by the Great Statesmen of the Republic. A Council of the Past on the Tyranny of the Present. The Spirit of the Constitution on the Bench—Abraham Lincoln Prisoner at the Bar his own Counsel.</i> New York: Office of the Metropolitan Record 1863. Original printed wrappers stitched. 29 3 pp. First Edition.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpts:</b></p><p>"<i>George Washington the father of the American Union who was surrounded by the great statesmen of the Revolution and by others of a still later date…had assembled for the trial of the present incumbent … on charges of the gravest and most serious character. the Spirit of the Constitution…occupied the bench of Justice.</i>" 4-5</p><p>"<i>Abraham Lincoln is herein charged with treasonable intent purposes and designs in having committed the following unconstitutional acts in the course of his administration:</i></p><p>"<i>1. In having declared war against independent and sovereign States under the pretence of repossessing himself of certain forts and other property seized and held by said States.</i></p><p>"<i>2. In having arrested citizens of the United States and incarcerated them in Government bastiles without process of law.</i></p><p>"<i>3. In having suppressed the liberty of speech thereby denying to the citizen the Constitutional right of criticizing the acts of his Administration.</i></p><p>"<i>4. In having prohibited and stopped the publication of certain newspapers for the exercise of the same right referred to in the preceding charge.</i></p><p>"<i>5. In having placed the military above the civil power as shown in the establishment of martial law over portions of the country which were not embraced within the theatre of war.</i></p><p>"<i>6. In overthrowing State sovereignty as in the case of Virginia the integrity of which was violated by the erection of the so-called State of Kanawha within its limits.</i></p><p>"<i>7. In having approved indorsed and partially carried into execution the unconstitutional act of Congress known as the Confiscation Bill.</i></p><p>"<i>8. In having approved of the infamous law known as the Conscription Act which was not only subversive of the Constitution but violative of State sovereignty.</i></p><p>"<i>9. <b>In having attempted to carry into execution the Emancipation Act thereby violating the most sacred guarantees of the Constitution.</b></i> 5-6</p><p>"<i>The criminal looked around the court and on the faces of the assembled patriots of the past but as they returned his gaze they shuddering averted their heads. Then the Spirit of the Constitution addressing him spoke as follows:</i></p><p>"<i>'You have been tried and found wanting. You have been given the opportunity of saving a nation but you have stabbed it to the heart. You were born in the freest country under the sun but you have converted it into a despotism. You have violated your oath; you have betrayed the trust reposed in you by the popular will and to the outraged justice of your countrymen I now leave you with the brand of "Tyrant" upon your brow. They will hereafter inflict upon you that penalty which justice demands while history will pronounce its judgment upon the infamous acts of your Administration.'</i>" 28-29</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Contemporaries historians and others have criticized Lincoln for violating state sovereignty freedom of speech and freedom of the press for suspending habeas corpus and imposing martial law. All of these charges figure prominently in this ghostly trial of the President.</p><p>The publisher and possibly author of this pamphlet was John Mulally the Irish-born editor and proprietor of the <i>Metropolitan Record</i> a weekly Catholic family newspaper published from 1859 to 1868 in New York City. From 1859 to March 1863 it was the official organ of the Archbishop John Hughes of New York. Catholic critics accused it of taking an "open and avowedly treasonable course…since the war broke out; but more especially since the President issued his Emancipation Proclamation" and of forcing Archbishop Hughes to withdraw his support.</p><p><i>The Indiana State Sentinel</i> a Democratic newspaper published in Indianapolis printed much of the pamphlet on its front page declaring it "perhaps the most thorough and effective exposition of the terrible character and extent of the departure of the present Administration from the word and spirit of the fathers of the Constitution that has yet been put in print."</p><p>In 1863 authorities arrested Baltimore booksellers Michael J. Kelly and John B. Piet publishers of the <i>Catholic Mirror</i> for printing works of a "treasonable character." On May 23 1864 Provost Marshal detectives again arrested Kelly and Piet and searched their store. Among the "inflammable matter" found were 97 copies of <u>this</u>pamphlet envelopes with rebel flags 57 packs of playing cards with Confederate officers and some 212 Confederate photographs. The authorities imprisoned Kelly and Piet in Fort McHenry. On May 28 Kelly's son received permission to reopen the store and authorities allowed the press to resume publication of the <i>Catholic Mirror</i> on May 30 while Kelly and Piet awaited trial. On June 1 and 2 Major General Lew Wallace ordered Kelly and Piet released if they each posted a $5000 security bond not to violate any departmental regulations.</p><p>In March 1864 Major General William S. Rosecrans a Catholic commander of the Department of the Missouri ordered the Provost Marshal General in St. Louis to seize all issues of the <i>Metropolitan Record</i> to prohibit further distribution of the newspaper in that department and to punish all vendors who sold or distributed issues of the newspaper knowing their "traitorous contents." Rosecrans had read enough in the <i>Metropolitan Record</i> to satisfy himself that "no reasonable freedom nor even license of the press suffice for the traitorous utterances in those articles" and that they were "a libel on the Catholics who as a body are loyal and national." In November 1864 Major General Hugh Ewing commanding the District of Kentucky likewise banned the circulation of the <i>Metropolitan Record</i> and seven other newspapers in his district.</p><p>In the midst of the 1864 presidential election campaign the <i>Metropolitan Record</i>advertised for canvassers to sell this as "the great campaign pamphlet of the day." Mulally later reportedly repudiated McClellan as the Democratic nominee favoring a peace candidate instead.</p><p>111 Eberstadt 332. Monaghan 252. Sabin 41234.

‎ABRAHAM LINCOLN. HENRY CHARLES LEA‎

‎Union League of Philadelphia Supports Lincoln on Emancipation African-American Troops in 1864‎

‎<p>"<i>The will of the people is supreme.</i>"</p><p>"<i>The vital principle of</i> Lincoln's <i>whole administration has been his recognition of the fact that our Government is simply a machine for carrying into effect THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.</i>"</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN. HENRY CHARLES LEA.</b>Printed Pamphlet. <i>No. 18: The Will of the People</i> January – April 1864. 8 pp. 5½ x 8½ in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpts:</b></p><p>"<i>It has been generally assumed that the acts of the President have been the exponents of his own individual convictions. Democrats have censured him for converting the 'war against disunion' into a 'war against slavery.' Radical Republicans have been equally prone to condemn him as a half-hearted Abolitionist who required perpetual stimulation to perform his duty and who is not to be trusted because he did not immediately on his inauguration carry out the views which he had previously expressed of opposition to slavery.</i></p><p>"<i>Both parties seem to have forgotten that our form of government is as purely democratic as can be reduced to a practical system. Our whole political machinery is devised for the purpose of allowing the people to regulate the national policy. The will of the people is supreme.</i>" p3</p><p>"<i>For twenty years prior to his election he had on all fitting occasions expressed his disapprobation of slavery and his desire that it could be constitutionally done away with. Yet in the popular vote which made him President he saw the expression simply of a determination to resist the aggressions of slavery and not the condemnation of the system itself.</i>" p4</p><p>"<i>As the nation changed its views so he was ready to change his policy. When therefore the Emancipation Proclamation made its appearance the people was prepared to welcome that which a year earlier would have aroused a tempest of disapprobation.</i>" p5</p><p>"<i>The next step was the arming of negro troops. In July 1862 Congress authorized the employment of 'persons of African descent' in our armies. The public mind was not yet prepared to accept the assistance of the despised race. The administration accordingly did not press the matter.</i>" p5-6</p><p>"<i>Those who have witnessed the marvellous revolution in public opinion on this subject cannot but admire the manner in which Mr. Lincoln's honest deference to public opinion has produced results which the tact of the cunning statesman might have failed to secure. Taking each step as the voice of the people demanded it he has never been forced to retrace his position. Supported by and supporting the popular feeling he has moved onward in unison with it and each new development has afforded sure foothold for further progress.</i>" p6</p><p>"<i>His Proclamation of Amnesty puts into practical shape the wishes which have long been silently forming themselves in every loyal heart. Again has he divined the will of the people and at the fitting time his acts have responded making as far as his competence extends that will the law of the land. To this intuitive perception of public opinion and this skill in translating it into action Mr. Lincoln owes much of the success of his administration. He is at once the leader and the led.</i>" p7</p><p>"<i>The transitory passions of the multitude are very different from the slowly formed convictions of the people. The President has known to distinguish between them and he has at times shown as lofty a firmness to resist the former as he has ever manifested alacrity to respect the latter. The vital principle of his whole administration has been his recognition of the fact that our Government is simply a machine for carrying into effect THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.</i>" p8</p><p><b>Excerpts from Resolutions Passed January 11 1864:</b></p><p>"<i>And Whereas The Union League of Philadelphia composed as it is of those who having formerly belonged to various parties in this juncture recognize no party but their country; and representing as it does all the industrial mechanical manufacturing commercial financial and professional interests of the city is especially qualified to give in this behalf an unbiased authentic utterance to the public sentiment. Therefore</i>" p2</p><p>"<i>Resolved That we cordially approve of the policy which Mr. Lincoln has adopted and pursued as well as the principles he has announced as the acts he has performed: and that we shall continue to give an earnest and energetic support to the doctrines and measures by which his administration has thus far been directed and illustrated.</i>" p2</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Loyal Leagues also often known as Union Leagues were men's clubs established during the Civil War largely to support the war effort and the policies of the Lincoln administration. They usually consisted of the professional merchant and artisan classes in northern cities. The first such club formed in Philadelphia in 1862.</p><p>This pamphlet written by Henry C. Lea as director of the Union League of Philadelphia's Board of Publication insisted that Lincoln's policies reflected the will of the people. Six years earlier in his first debate with Stephen A. Douglas in August 1858 Lincoln famously said "In this and like communities public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. Consequently he who moulds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed."</p><p>On April 15 1864 Lea met with Lincoln in Washington and three days later he wrote to Lincoln including two pamphlets he had recently written including this one. He informed Lincoln "I was much gratified to find from your remarks that in one of them—'The Will of the People'—I had to some extent indirectly appreciated the motives which have guided your policy. It appeared to me to present a line of argument likely to be effective before the people & I confess to surprise that it should not have been long since brought more prominently into notice to repel the attacks of radicals & Copperheads." <br /></p><p><b>Henry Charles Lea</b> 1825-1909 was born in Philadelphia and received a classical education from Irish American tutor Eugenius Nulty. Lea showed particular promise in natural history. He joined his father in the publishing business in 1843 but had a nervous breakdown in 1847. While recuperating he read medieval French history and decided to become a historian rather than a scientist. In 1850 he married his first cousin Anna Caroline Jaudon 1824-1912 who was of French Huguenot descent and they had four children between 1851 and 1859. Over the next fifty years Lea produced ten books and numerous articles on medieval institutional legal and ecclesiastical history. During the Civil War Lea was a member of the Union League of Philadelphia and led its Board of Publication. In that role he wrote many of the League's published pamphlets. From 1863 to 1865 he served as a Bounty Commissioner and aided the provost marshal in recruiting soldiers including African Americans. He continued in the publishing business until 1880 when his sons took over the firm. He continued to write and assemble an extensive medieval manuscript collection. He received honorary degrees from both American universities like Harvard Princeton and Pennsylvania and foreign universities in Giessen and Moscow.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Good with light foxing and toning.</p>‎
