ABRAHAM LINCOLN. HENRY CHARLES LEA
Union League of Philadelphia Supports Re-Election of Lincoln as “the man for the timeâ€
<p>"<i>As a MAN OF THE PEOPLE understanding them and trusted by them he has proved himself the man for the time.</i>"</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN. HENRY CHARLES LEA.</b>Printed Pamphlet. <i>No. 17: Abraham Lincoln</i> March 1864. 12 pp. 5¾ x 8¾ in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpts:</b></p><p>"<i>What will be the place assigned by history to Abraham Lincoln</i>" p3</p><p>"<i>Few of us can forget the feelings of doubt and distrust with which we regarded his advent to the Presidential chair. That his native energy had elevated him from a youth of poverty and labor was reassuring and yet the narrow sphere in which his life had mostly been passed seemed to deprive him of the opportunities of familiarity with the great principles and details of statesmanship requisite for the perilous contingencies of the future.</i>" p3-4</p><p>"<i>Thus with doubt confusion and demoralization around him with no landmarks in the past to serve as a guide for the present or as a precedent for the future did Mr. Lincoln undertake the awful responsibilities of his high position. Thus relying on himself and on the people he boldly set to work to restore the Republic.</i>" p5</p><p>"<i>The country was saved so soon as the people recognized in their President a man who believed that he could save it and who honestly intended to do so. Had Abraham Lincoln done no more than this he would have merited a place between Washington and Jackson. It is a great thing to lift a nation to the highest level of its duties and responsibilities and few men to whom in the world's history the opportunity has been vouchsafed have accomplished the task so thoroughly.</i>" p6</p><p>"<i>And now the momentous question arises before the American people—to whose hands shall be confided the delicate trust of restoring the Union of our fathers</i>" p7</p><p>"<i>The great duty to which Mr. Lincoln has dedicated himself with rare singleness of purpose is the one thought which engrosses every true American heart—the re-establishment of the Union on a permanent basis.</i>" p7</p><p>"<i>The results of the war during the last twelve-month have not shown that the Proclamation was a mistake in military policy.</i>" p9</p><p>"<i>When Mr. Lincoln recommended the plan of compensated emancipation which was adopted by Congress he showed that he recognized fully how great an element of future strife lay in the institution of slavery and how beneficial to the whole country its abolition would be. Moderate in all his opinions he wanted a gradual not a violent change and long after his Emancipation Proclamation was issued he provoked the wrath of the radical emancipationists in Missouri by lending what aid he constitutionally could to the 'conservatives' in that State who desired that the extinction of slavery should be brought about gradually. Possibly in this Mr. Lincoln was mistaken yet if so the error arose from the desire which he has constantly manifested to harmonize the conflicting interests of the country even at the expense of temporary popularity.</i>" p9-10</p><p>"<i>The wisest statesman does not disdain to profit by experience nor can the head of a popular government adopt measures of fundamental change before the people are ripe for them. It is probable that Mr. Lincoln learned much as the war wore on; at all events the people did.</i>" p10</p><p>"<i>There are many who have richly earned the gratitude of the people for eminent services rendered to the Republic in the hour of her trials. There is no one who has so signally centered upon himself the confidence of all. There have been mistakes of detail in military naval and financial matters—mistakes inseparable from the sudden transition from profound and prolonged peace to civil war upon the largest scale. Yet in the general policy of the administration in its principles of statesmanship there have been few errors save those arising from a too generous disbelief in the sincerity of Southern madness.</i>" p11</p><p>"<i>Had Mr. Lincoln moved faster than he has done he would have left the people behind him and lost the support without which no popular government can conduct an exhausting war.</i>" p11</p><p>"<i>As a MAN OF THE PEOPLE understanding them and trusted by them he has proved himself the man for the time.</i>" p12</p><p>"<i>no one can be named who unites like Abraham Lincoln the kindliness and firmness the skill and experience the native sagacity and honesty to bring about an harmonious settlement and to extort from repentant rebels the implicit confidence which those high qualities have won from all loyal men.</i>" p12</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>The Union League Club of Philadelphia formed in 1862 as a patriotic society to support the Union and the policies of the Lincoln administration. The members of this private club represented the Philadelphia region's elite in business education and religion.</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 for the Union League Club including this one. He informed Lincoln "To prevent misconstruction perhaps I should add that I am a man of independent position with nothing to ask at your hands except the preservation of our institutions."<br /></p><p><b>Henry Charles Lea</b> 1825-1909 was born in Philadelphia and received a classical education from a private tutor. He 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. 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 including this one. From 1863 to 1865 he served as a Bounty Commissioner and aided the provost marshal in recruiting soldiers including African Americans.</p>

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>

ABRAHAM LINCOLN SCHUYLER COLFAX
“Let Us Have Faith that Right Makes Might…”
1877. No binding. Fine. Autograph Quote Signed from Lincoln's Cooper Institute speech given on February 27 1860. Sept 10 1877. Schuyler Colfax U.S. representative from Indiana and vice president under Ulysses S. Grant pens a famous quote from Lincoln's Cooper Institute speech. Transcript""Let us have faith that Right makes Might; and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our Duty."" Lincoln's Cooper Institute speech Feb. '60. Yrs truly Schuyler Colfax / Sept 10 1877Schuyler Colfax 1823-1885 born in New York City moved with his family to Indiana when he was an adolescent. Colfax pursued a career in journalism serving as legislative correspondent for the Indiana State Journal and becoming part-owner of the Whig organ of northern Indiana the South Bend Free Press renamed the St. Joseph Valley Register in 1845. Colfax was a member of the 1850 state constitutional convention and four years later was elected as a Republican to Congress where he served until 1869. An energetic opponent of slavery Colfax's speech attacking the Lecompton Legislature in Kansas became the most widely requested Republican campaign document in the 1858 mid-term election. In 1862 following the electoral defeat of Galusha Grow Colfax was elected Speaker of the House. In that capacity Colfax announced the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment on January 31 1865: ""The constitutional majority of two thirds having voted in the affirmative the Joint Resolution is passed."" Colfax considered February 1 1865 the day he signed the House resolution the happiest day of his life.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
“Honest Abe†Lincoln Admits to Skirting the Truth with his Wife
<p>Headed "<i>Private</i>" in Lincoln's hand this unique letter reveals an awkward intersection of domestic and national politics and an instructive insight into the marriage of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. Here Lincoln admits to not being truthful with his wife on the small matter of purchasing a copy of a new partisan newspaper a year before the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates. "<i>When the paper was first brought to my house my wife said to me 'now are you going to take another worthless little paper' I said to her evasively I had not directed the paper to be left. From this in my absence she sent the message to the carrier. This is the whole story.</i>"</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Autograph Letter Signed to John Rosette editor of the <i>Springfield Republican</i> February 20 1857 Springfield Ill. Headed "Private" in Lincoln's hand. 1 p. 7½ x 9â… in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Complete Transcript</b></p><p><i><u>Private</u></i> <i>Springfield Feb. 20. 1857</i></p><p><i>John E. Rosette Esq</i></p><p> <i>Dear Sir</i></p><p> <i>Your note about the little paragraph in the Republican was received yesterday; since when till now I have been too unwell to answer it. I had not supposed you wrote or approved it. The whole originated in mistake. You know by the conversation with me that I thought the establishment of the paper unfortunate but I always expected to throw no obstacle in its way and to patronize it to the extent of taking and paying for one copy. When the paper was first brought to my house my wife said to me 'now are you going to take another worthless little paper' I said to her evasively I had not directed the paper to be left. From this in my absence she sent the message to the carrier. This is the whole story.</i></p><p> <i>Yours truly</i></p><p> <i>A Lincoln</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Whatever Mrs. Lincoln's remark was it must have been reprinted in the February 16 1857 issue of the <i>Springfield Republican</i>. The newspaper edited by John Rosette was short-lived and the survival rate of issues is extremely low. The specific content of "<i>the little paragraph in the Republican</i>" remains a mystery but the letter certainly does fulfill Lincoln biographer William Herndon's purpose of serving as an example "of the complexities which frequently beset Mr. Lincoln when his wife came into contact with others."</p><p>William Herndon was not a champion of Mary Todd Lincoln to say the least. Nor was her husband's longtime law partner a favorite of the First Lady. One of the most sensational aspects of Herndon's controversial biography of Abraham Lincoln was the insight he purported to have on the state of the Lincolns' marriage from which he claimed both parties "reaped the bitter harvest of conjugal infelicity." The dynamic of the Lincoln household according to Herndon was the husband's acquiescence to the wife's vicious temper: "However cold and abstracted her husband may have appeared to others however impressive when aroused may have seemed his indignation in public he never gave vent to his feelings at home. He always meekly accepted as final the authority of his wife in all matters of domestic concern." As "a specimen of the perplexities which frequently beset Mr. Lincoln when his wife came in contact with others" Herndon printed this letter to Rosette claiming that he did not know "what in this instance Mrs. Lincoln said to the paper carrier."</p>

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> books

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
A Confederate Newspaper Prints Lincoln's Response to Horace Greeley's Anti-Slavery Editorial
<p>On the front page under <i>"News from the North" </i>is the text of Abraham Lincoln's reply to <i>New York Tribune</i>editor Horace Greeley. Greeley's letter urging Lincoln to emancipate all slaves in Union-held territory was known as "The Prayer of Twenty Millions." It was first published on August 20 1862. Lincoln responded on August 22 declaring that his paramount goal is to save the Union regardless of its effect on slavery as well as his personal views that all men should be free.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Newspaper. <i>Richmond Whig</i> Richmond Va. August 30 1862. 2 pp. 17 x 24 in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpt:</b></p><p><i>"…As to the policy I 'seem to be pursuing' as you say I have not meant to leave any one in doubt. </i></p><p><i> I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored the nearer the Union will be 'the Union as it was.'

If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time </i>destroy<i> slavery I do not agree with them—My paramount object in this struggle </i>is <i>to save the Union and is </i>not<i> either to save or to destroy slavery.

In October 1864 the <i>Whig</i> was alleged to have run an editorial that signaled Southern supporters to embark on a terror campaign that called for widespread fires to be set in New York city and federal offices to be taken over and the capture of the city's military commander Maj.

Abraham Lincoln: Large 1861 Inauguration Chromolithograph
<p><b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Chromolithograph. <i>Presidents of the United States</i> Philadelphia: Published by F. Bouclet lithographed by A. Feusier. Sheet size: 21 in. x 27 in. Image size: 24½ in. x 18¾ in. </p><br />A large patriotic chromolithograph issued around the time of Abraham Lincoln's first inauguration. The central image is the goddess Columbia wearing a draped American flag flanked by bald eagle and Union shield. Behind her is a steam ship and the artist's rendition of what the then-uncompleted Capitol building was expected to look like. Surrounding Columbia is an ornate frame made up of portraits of the presidents of the United States from 1789-1861—including a beardless Abraham Lincoln: George Washington John Adams Thomas Jefferson James Madison James Monroe John Quincy Adams Andrew Jackson Martin Van Buren William H. Harrison John Tyler James K. Polk Zachary Taylor Millard Fillmore Franklin Pierce James Buchanan and Abraham Lincoln.<p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Erin Mast curator of "My Abraham Lincoln" a 2009 exhibition at President Lincoln's Cottage Museum noted that the print "both commemorates Lincoln's election and recognizes the challenges and opportunities facing the 16th president. The 16 presidential portraits encircle symbols of the republic at a time when a divided nation faced secession and civil war. In the center Columbia holds a shield and liberty cap the latter being a symbol both of revolution and of freed slaves. A bald eagle grasps arrows and an olive branch and carries a ribbon with the motto 'E Pluribus Unum.' The Capitol dome shown completed at a time when it was still unfinished symbolizes the founding of the democratic republic while a steamship symbolizes development and progress. The allegorical images relate to concepts that Lincoln expressed in his first inaugural address; that seceding and breaking the Constitution would be a step backward not forward and violates the very principles of the Union a Union which is 'older than the Constitution.' By commemorating Lincoln's election and illustrating the troubled and complex scene he faced this chromolithograph encapsulates the spirit of Lincoln's presidency."</p><p><b>Provenance</b></p><p>From the Estate of Malcolm S.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
After Investing in its Stock Lincoln Represents a Railroad in a Precedent-Setting Lawsuit
<p>A list of stockholders entirely in Lincoln's hand filed as evidence in his first significant railroad case. Lincoln's own appearance in the shareholder list represents only the second known instance of a stock purchase by the future president. The Illinois Supreme Court's ultimate ruling in favor of Lincoln and the railroad set an important legal precedent upholding the binding nature of a stockholder's contractual and financial obligations. "The decision subsequently cited in twenty-five other cases throughout the United States helped establish the principle that corporation charters could be altered in the public interest and it established Lincoln as one of the most prominent and successful Illinois practitioners of railroad law" Donald p.155.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Autograph Manuscript Signed by Lincoln in text constituting his official transcript of the "<i>Subscription Book of the Capital Stock of the Alton and Sangamon Rail Road Company</i>" incorporated February 27 1847 transcribed in early 1851. Comprising a cover sheet titled in Lincoln's hand the joint stock subscription statement and list of 91 shareholders with the number of shares subscribed and leaf with Lincoln's legal docket: "<i>Alton and Sangamon Railroad Company vs. James A. Barret. Copy of contents of subscription book</i>." 8 pp. 6â… x 8¼ x ¼ in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>The Alton and Sangamon Rail Road Company was chartered in 1847 to construct a line from Alton via New Berlin to Springfield. In 1850 however the Illinois General Assembly approved a more direct route bypassing the landholdings of some investors. Claiming breach of contract James A. Barret refused to make further installment payments for his 30 shares of stock as did several others who no longer stood to benefit from the new line. In 1851 Lincoln was hired to compel the defaulting shareholders to pay the balance of their promised investment.</p><p>The tactical details are spelled out in a February 19 1851 letter from Lincoln to William Martin a commissioner for the sale of the company's stock. Four suits were to be brought against stockholders who had subscribed to the initial offering but had then failed to make the additional installment payments. In preparation Lincoln listed the essential documents he would need in order to win a judgment. "We must prove" he advised Martin "that the defendant is a Stockholder" "that the calls have been made" and "that due notice of the calls has been given." To show that the defendants were in fact stockholders Lincoln explained he needed to produce "the subscription book with the defendant's name and proof of the genuineness of the signature together with any competent parole or evidence that he made the advance payment" Basler 2:99.</p><p>Lincoln's meticulous transcript of the subscription book was a key piece of the evidence filed in Sangamon Circuit Court on February 22 1851. The book includes Barret's name and the subscription statement transcribed by Lincoln on page two is explicit about the shareholders' obligations.</p><p><i>We the subscribers to the Capital Stock of the Alton and Sangamon Rail Road Company.do hereby agree.to pay the balance of the installments due on said stock by us subscribed when the same may be called for by the board of Directors of said Company when duly organized in conformity with the Charter approved February 27th 1847.</i></p><p>"<i>A. Lincoln</i>" with six shares for $600 is prominent among the 91 subscriber names. The only other known record of a Lincoln stock purchase dates from 1836 when he bought one share in the Beardstown and Sangamon Canal.</p><p>In June of 1847 as head of a committee to promote subscriptions for the projected railroad Lincoln wrote an open letter to the "People of Sangamon County" appealing for their support. Railroad construction was booming and Lincoln anticipated that a line between Springfield and Alton would prove a lucrative investment for himself and his state. "The whole is a matter of pecuniary interest" he argued. "The proper question for us is whether with reference to the present and the future and to direct and indirect results it is our interest to subscribe. If it can be shown that it is we hope few will refuse" Basler 1:396-398.</p><p>The list of subscribers is itself of considerable interest. It includes John Hay 1775-1865 the grandfather of Lincoln's later secretary John Hay 2 shares Ninian W. Edwards 1809-1889 husband of Mary Todd Lincoln's sister 20 shares John T. Stuart 1807-1885 Lincoln's law partner 5 shares Henry Yates 1786-1865 father of Illinois governor Richard Yates 10 shares Noah W. Matheny 1815-1877 clerk of Sangamon County and others. In the subscription book Henry Yates hedging his bets has added a condition beneath his name: "<i>if the Road intersects the M. & S R R at New Berlin.</i>"</p><p>Lincoln was mindful of the critical issues raised by the Alton and Sangamon lawsuits and "took extraordinary pains to construct an airtight case for his client" Donald p.155. To Martin he pointed out the legal issues adding "I have labored hard to find the law" in preparation for the trials. In the end two of the defaulting stockholders paid their delinquent calls. The suits against James A. Barret and Joseph Klein came to trial in the Sangamon Circuit Court in August of 1851 with Lincoln handling both the trials and the appeals for the railroad.</p><p>Lincoln's preparation proved its worth – the rulings were in favor of the railroad. "Illinois Supreme Court Justice Samuel H. Treat ruled that public utility superseded private profit. If Barret had won the case other stockholders would balk at fulfilling their obligations. The rule of caveat emptor protected corporate management from stockholder's personal interests and encouraged subsequent investment" <i>Lincoln Legal Briefs</i> Oct-Dec 1990 no. 16 online.</p><p>At the time he transcribed this document Lincoln was an attorney on the 8th Judicial Circuit and also managed a thriving appellate and federal court practice. He handled a number of railroad-related cases representing both private individuals as well as the railroads themselves. He was not as some have argued a hired gun for corporate interests. Rather as his law partner William Herndon described him Lincoln was "purely and entirely a case lawyer."</p><p>The fact that Lincoln despite his commitment to railroading often handled suits against the carriers casts light on his understanding of the lawyer's role in society…He simply could not afford to take only one side in legal disputes. Nor did Lincoln pursue some political or philosophical agenda through litigation. He was not concerned with developing a consistent legal ideology. His business as Donald reminds us "was law not morality." James W. Ely "Lincoln as Railroad Attorney" Indiana Historical Society Symposium April 15-16 2005</p><p>Though a prominent lawyer Lincoln was still smarting over recent political defeats. Elected to the U.S. Congress in 1846 he had served out his term but his outspoken opposition to the Mexican-American War had cost him any chance at a second term. He subsequently failed in his attempt to become commissioner of the General Land Office. Lincoln declined an appointment as governor of the Oregon Territory instead returning to his law practice with William H. Herndon in Springfield Illinois. He would not attempt a political comeback until 1854.</p><p>The rail line was ultimately highly profitable. Lincoln's overriding belief in the broader benefits of internal improvements is best expressed in a speech he delivered before Congress in 1848.</p><p>Let the nation take hold of the larger works and the states the smaller ones; and thus working in a meeting direction discreetly but steadily and firmly what is made unequal in one place may be equalized in another extravagance avoided and the whole country put on that career of prosperity which shall correspond with it's extent of territory it's natural resources and the intelligence and enterprize of it's people.</p> books
