The Republican Party Vindicated" - Lincoln's Famous Cooper Union Speech
Lincoln Abraham. The Republican Party Vindicated--The Demands of the South Explained. Speech of Hon. Abraham Lincoln of Illinois at the Cooper Institute New York City February 27 1860. 16 pages caption title as issued. Lincoln's Historic Cooper Union discourse which catapulted him to serious presidential consideration and provided a cogent and widely-publicized argument that slavery was and always had been contrary to American values. <br/><br/>Lincoln's great Cooper Union speech argues that the Framers and early Congresses contemplated a narrow role for slavery. Examining the constitutional and early Congressional debates he demonstrates that contemporary statements viewed slavery "as an evil not to be extended but to be tolerated and protected only because of and so far as its actual presence among us makes that toleration and protection a necessity." Lincoln's argument received wide press coverage; it catapulted him into presidential contention for its great contribution placed the new Republican Party at the center of American constitutional and legal thought rather than an unacceptable extreme paving the way for his 1860 presidential win on the Republican ticket. An unusual 16-page issue of Lincoln's Cooper Union discourse followed at the middle of page 9 by John Hickman's July 24 1860 campaign speech. Page 16 prints Stephen Douglas' endoursement of the Dred Scott Decision and criticisms of his doctrine of Popular Sovereignty. Most copies print Lincoln's speech only in 8 pages. Scattered foxing dusting blank margin chipped not affecting text. Very good copy of this historic speech by Abraham Lincoln presaging his presidential nomination. unknown books

Abraham Lincoln Signs a Document on the Day He Announces an End to Slavery in US Territories
US President who guided the nation through Civil War and was famously assassinated. 2 page recto verso Manuscript Document Signed by Lincoln on June 19 1862 the same date on which he signed the historic bill abolishing slavery in the U.S. territories. In this document Lincoln extends mercy to an inmate by providing a pardon. Measures 10.75x16.5".Lincoln issued this pardon after several petitions arrived on Lambert's behalf emphasizing his family's financial need as well as the support of two convicting juror at his trial five years prior. <br/><br/>This pardon states in part: "Whereas at the December Term A.D. 1857.Isaac Lambert was convicted on two indictments for Larceny and was sentenced to imprisonment in the Penitentiary for the term of three years under each conviction;-And whereas the said Isaac Lambert has served over three-fourths of his double term of six years in a patient penitent and exemplary manner;-And whereas it appears that the family.are in a destitute condition and that his labor is necessary for their support.I Abraham Lincoln President of the United States of America.grant unto him the said Isaac Lambert a full and unconditional pardon." Boldly signed at the conclusion "Abraham Lincoln" with a white paper seal affixed to the upper left that remains fully intact. <br/><br/>In addition to granting this individual mercy to Lambert on June 19 Lincoln also initiated the process of abolition in the U.S. by signing a historic bill that banned slavery in all current and future U.S. territories. Overturning the controversial Dred Scott decision in which the Supreme Court had denied the federal government regulatory power over the territories' slave trades and policies Lincoln took a public action that helped the nation move closer to emancipation within the states. In cooperation with Lincoln Congress enacted legislation on June 19 emancipating slaves in the territories and banning slavery there hereafter. The law read simply: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled That from and after the passage of this act there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in any of the Territories of the United States now existing or which may at any time hereafter be formed or acquired by the United States otherwise than in punishment of crimes whereof the party shall have been duly convicted." This straightforward legislation paved the way for the Emancipation Proclamation which Lincoln announced in September 1862 and signed into effect on January 1 1863.<br/><br/>A highly desirable example signed at an important moment in the abolition of slavery.To obtain a signed document or letter directly relating to Emancipation would likely cost over $1 million today. At the height of the financial crisis in 2008 a document by Lincoln affixing the seal of the President "on my Proclamation" without mentioning the word "emancipation" sold for $800000. Repaired separations to intersecting folds one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature and scattered toning otherwise fine condition. unknown books

THE POLITICAL GYMNASIUM
New York: Currier & Ives 1860. Lithograph broadside 13-1/2" x 18." Several closed tears two of them repaired with old tape on verso tear line affecting Seward's midsection. Good.<br/><br/> This scarce lithograph is a detailed humorous "parody on the field of presidential candidates and their supporters in the 1860 campaign." Bell and Everett for the Constitutional Union Party are there: Bell a muscle man holds Everett aloft on a barbell. Horace Greeley's "political ambitions are mocked by the artist who shows him vainly attempting to climb up a horizontal bar." Lincoln is at the center: he has "successfully mounted a balance beam constructed of wooden rails." The New York Courier's James Watson Webb's does a backward somersault in the foreground. <br/> The broadside evidently issued after the parties' nominating Conventions because Seward is depicted as a cripple "on crutches and with bandaged feet." Breckinridge and Douglas "the two sectional Democratic candidates compete in a boxing match."<br/>Reilly 1860-34 quotations are from Reilly. Weitenkampf 123.

np 1860. 8pp caption title as issued. Disbound with a bit of loosening light inner margin spotting. Good.<br/><br/> Lincoln's great Cooper Union Address argues that the Framers and early Congresses contemplated a narrow and ever-diminishing role for slavery.

It received wide press coverage catapulting him into presidential contention for it transported the new Republican Party into the center of American constitutional and legal thinking rather than to an unacceptable extreme.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S "LAST PUBLIC ADDRESS" THE EVENING OF 11 APRIL 1865 PRINTED IN THE NEW-YORK TIMES WEDNESDAY APRIL 12 1865
New York 1865. Elephant Folio. 8pp. Each page printed in six columns. Uncut at top edge. Very Good. A contemporary hand has written in pencil at the top blank margin "His last Proclamation. Keep this Paper."<br/><br/> This was Lincoln's "Last Public Address" Abraham Lincoln Online. This issue of the Times appearing the following day is surely a candidate for its earliest printing. His Speech discloses Lincoln's most recent thoughts on Reconstruction the War having virtually ended by the surrender of Lee's Army at Appomattox Court House on April 9. Reconstruction he says is "fraught with great difficulty. We simply must begin with and mould from disorganized and discordant elements. Nor is it a small additional embarrassment that we the loyal people differ among ourselves as to the mode manner and means of reconstruction."<br/> Lincoln emphasizes his flexibility. He disclaims any intention to insist upon a single comprehensive plan. He makes clear that "the Executive claimed no right to say when or whether members should be admitted to seats in Congress" from the rebellious States. He remarks that he has never pronounced on the interesting legal question "whether the seceding States so called are in the Union or out of it." Such an issue has no practical significance. "We all agree that the seceded States so called are out of their proper relation with the Union; and that the sole object of the government civil and military in regard to those States is to again get them into that proper practical relation." Lincoln will act as circumstances require the only criterion being whether the proposed policy will expedite that "proper practical relation." It is obvious that Lincoln had he lived would have been much more successful than his dogmatic and inflexible successor at guiding Reconstruction.<br/> This issue treats many other issues arising from the War's end including the topic "What shall be done with Jeff.

Baylies William and Francis; Abraham Holmes
LOT OF SIX LETTERS FROM ABRAHAM HOLMES TO WILLIAM BAYLIES AND FRANCIS BAYLIES JANUARY 19 1822 - APRIL 11 1834
Rochester Boston MA 1834. A collection of six letters ranging in size from 8-1/2" x 11" to 8-1/2" x 12-3/4" five complete and one partial letter. All in ink manuscript on unlined paper. Old folds light toning occasional light foxing two on untrimmed paper. Most are addressed on final blank page and have wax seal remnants with the usual tear where wax was torn open occasional loss to a few letters. Overall Very Good. <br/><br/> Abraham Holmes was a Massachusetts legislator and attorney. Opposing ratification of the Constitution he was allied with the Anti-Federalist Otis family of Barnstable and Freeman family of Sandwich. He was an Anti-Federalist delegate from Rochester MA to the Massachusetts Ratifying Convention of 1788. He served as Sergeant in Capt. Barnabas Doty's company Col. Ebenezer Sproat's regiment during the Revolutionary War. He was admitted to the Plymouth County Bar in April 1800 at the age of forty-six. Though he had no formal legal education his admission to the Bar was permitted in consideration of his respectable official character learning and abilities and on the condition that he study three months in an attorney's office. He served as president of the Court of Sessions prior to his bar admission practiced law in Rochester until the early 1830s was a member of the State Constitutional Convention of 1820 and a member of the Executive Council from 1821 to 1823. Davis William T.: BENCH AND BAR OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS IN TWO VOLUMES VOLUME II. Boston: 1895. Page 235; Daughters of the American Revolution: LINEAGE BOOK VOLUME 12 1900 Page 15. <br/> William Baylies 1776-1865 and Francis Baylies 1783-1852 were brothers and partners in a Massachusetts law firm. William served as a U.S. Representative from Massachusetts in 1809 1813-1817 and 1833-1835; was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1808-1809 1812-1813 and 1820-1821; and a member of the Massachusetts Senate from 1825-1826 and 1830-1831. Francis was a Congressman from 1821-1827; a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1827-1832 and in 1835; and the United States Charge d'Affaires Argentina in 1832. <br/> Holmes's Letters are as follows:<br/> 1 Letter to Francis Baylies Member of Congress dated at Boston January 19 1822. Holmes then member of the Massachusetts Executive Council awaits reports of the State legislative committees the incorporation of Boston "which will serve to procrastinate the session" the "suspense of the acceptance of office of the Judge of the Municipal Court" and issues such as criminal trials and the death sentence. "We pass our time here in Boston. the frequent application for appointments of both proper and improper candidates is rather an uncomfortable circumstance; but not so distressing as in affixing the time when convicts shall live no longer. to determine whether a convict shall die or not. It is probable we shall have the trial of both soon as there has been three capital convictions since I was here; one for murder and two for highway robbery. Those trials I attended; a Mr. Simmons formerly of Taunton as I am told managed the Defence; I can not record him as possessing great oratorical abilities but for integrity of arrangement and strength and argument perhaps no man of his years stands higher." Boston was incorporated March 4 1822 and the same year the Boston Police Court for criminal cases and Justice's Court for the County of Suffolk for civil claims were established. <br/> 2 Holmes's Letter to Francis Baylies dated at Boston March 28 1822. Holmes notes that the State legislative session is coming to a close. He anticipates orations which would "cause Tully to wish that he hadn't ever learned to speak; and all this for the good of the Nation."<br/> 3 Letter to William Baylies Counsellor at Law dated at Rochester MA October 24 1828 docketed October 25. An interesting three pages for lawyers anyway written in small yet legible hand on legal size paper. Holmes discusses with "great anxiety" and detail strategies and implications of the case entitled Rounseville Spooner versus Davis et ux. presentation of which had just concluded in the Massachusetts Supreme Court. Holmes and Baylies had represented Rounseville. Judge Wilde issued his decision on the following day October 25th. <br/> The case involved land in Fairhaven conveyed by Alden Spooner to Walter Spooner which later descended to Humphrey Davis's wife; but Alden Spooner later conveyed it again to Rounseville Spooner. What will be done in the case Holmes says "God only knows." Judge Wilde's Opinion reported at page 147 of Pickering's Reports Boston: 1830 gives the victory to Holmes and Baylies. <br/> 4 Letter to William Baylies Nov. 21 1828. Holmes discusses his excitement over a favorable verdict. "I rode into the yard. Mr. Bassett's son met me and informed me that the verdict of the jury was in favour of our client. Do you think I was sorry My heart jumped to my throat and with some difficulty I prevented my immortal spirit from bursting thro' the clay tenement. I am glad now that we did not use Joshua Vincent's Deposition for they would have objected and the point next word illegible for the Whole Court./ The next enquiry is Compensation. But I must stop with my hearty congratulations." Docketed on final page in part "Thomas v. D. & wife Nov. 21 1828."<br/> 5 Letter to William Baylies dated Rochester MA April 11 1834. A lengthy poignant letter discussing his advanced age and retirement. He no longer views political issues with the same interest; despite his overall good health he is troubled with lameness and currently lives with his son and his son's wife. "Some of my old customers are not willing to apply to anyone else."<br/> 6 Partial Letter to Francis Baylies December 1821. ". I dread the power of some of your colleagues. Mr. Saltonstall whose abilities are competent to make white and black synonymous terms I understand -which God forbid is strongly intrenched in a. Battery of Bankruptcy. unknown books

Auburn N.Y. 1863. Broadside 8" x 12-1/4". Very Good.<br/><br/> Congressman Pomeroy of Auburn who represented New York in Congress during the Civil War years and early Reconstruction has high praise for Colonel Clark serving on the staff of General Banks and recently wounded in the advance on Port Hudson. In the earliest days of the War during the Baltimore disorders he "mingled during the day and following night with the populace and rioters gathered all possible information and on the following morning returned to Washington and laid the information before the military authorities. Communications with Annapolis being cut off he accepted the hazardous position of bearer of dispatches from the War Department to Gen'l Butler and of the seventeen messengers sent on that mission was the only one who succeeded in reaching his destination without arrest and that was accomplished only by a night march on foot of twenty-five miles in a country with which he was unfamiliar and by swimming the Patuxent within sound of the voices of the enemies sentinels." <br/>OCLC 768761257 1- Allen Cy Pub.

An Oration delivered on the Battlefield of Gettysburg November 19 1863 at the Consecration of the Cemetery Prepared for the Internment of the Remains of those who fell in Battles of July 1st 2d and 3d 1863
New York: Baker & Godwin 1863. 8vo. 9 x 5 5/8 inches. 48pp. Publisher's lettered wrappers publisher's ad on rear wrapper. Housed in a blue morocco box.<br/> <br/>"Four score and seven years ago.": the earliest publication of the Gettysburg Address in book form preceded only by the exceptionally rare sixteen-page pamphlet The Gettysburg Solemnities known in only three copies.<br/> <br/>Lincoln made his speech at the dedication of a cemetery on the Gettysburg battlefield some four months after the bloody and pivotal battle that turned the tide of the Civil War in favor of the Union. Lincoln's speech was preceded by an address from Edward Everett the most famous orator of his day. Everett's speech took some ninety minutes to deliver and is largely forgotten. Lincoln's speech delivered in only a few minutes is immortal. It is a supreme distillation of American values and of the sacrifices necessary for the survival of liberty and freedom. "The Washington Chronicle of 18-21 November reported extensively on this ceremony and included a verbatim text of 'Edward Everett's Great Oration.' On the fourth day it noted in passing that the President had also made a speech but gave no details. When it came to the separate publication on 22 November Everett's 'Oration' was reprinted from the standing type but Lincoln's speech had to be set up. It was tucked away as a final paragraph on page 16 of the pamphlet The Gettysburg Solemnities. It was similarly treated when the meanly produced leaflet was replaced by a 48-page booklet published by Baker and Godwin of New York in the same year" PMM. Lincoln's address appears on page 40 and parenthetical notes are added indicating "applause" and "long-continued applause." A diagram on page 32 gives the details of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg.

They placed fictitious orders with him and cut the price of their edition of a Bible commentary which was also published by Paul" Cohen. This trial pamphlet prints the indictment and summarizes statements of counsel the testimony the charge of the court to the jury. <br/> William Smith had "made unfriendly declarations against Paul as to his business." He had also made statements of his intention to "take every advantage of Paul he could." Other circumstances and declarations indicated his guilt; but the evidence against Peter Smith was very shaky. The court indicated that a verdict of 'Not Guilty' was appropriate and the jury agreed. Since the defendants had been charged with conspiracy and the involvement of Peter was doubtful no conspiracy existed. Hence the acquittal.<br/>Cohen 12219. Sabin 103189.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
The Only Abraham Lincoln Letter to his Fiancée Mary Owens Still in Private Hands—Long on Politics Short on Love
1836. No binding. Fine. Autograph Letter Signed to Mary S. Owens December 13 1836 2 pp. 9 3/4 x 7 3/4 in. ""Write back as soon as you get this and if possible say something that will please me for really I have not been pleased since I left you.""Here Lincoln perfectly demonstrates what Owens later described as deficiencies ""in those little links which make up the chain of a woman's happiness."" Rather than expressing his feelings for Owens Lincoln complains about his health and discusses political issues swirling in the Illinois General Assembly. Although inept at love the letter offers rare insight into the young representative's thoughts on a variety of political issues. In this highly important letter to Mary Owens a self-absorbed Lincoln complains to his potential spouse of his health both physical and mental and discusses political issues to the point that he describes his own letter as ""dry and stupid."" Perhaps more revealing than he realized it illustrates the tension in Lincoln's early life between matters of the head with which he was comfortable and matters of the heart with which he clearly was not. Complete Transcript Vandalia Decr 13. 1836Mary I have been sick ever since my arrival here or I should have written sooner. It is but little difference however as I have verry little even yet to write. And more the longer I can avoid the mortification of looking in the Post Office for your letter and not finding it the better. You see I am mad about that old letter yet. I dont like verry well to risk you again. I'll try you once more anyhow. The new State House is not yet finished and consequently the legislature is doing little or nothing. The Governor delivered an inflamitory political message and it is expected there will be some sparring between the parties about it as soon as the two Houses get to business. Taylor delivered up his petitions for the New County to one of our members this morning. I am told that he despairs of its success on account of all the members from Morgan County opposing it. There are names enough on the petitions I think to justify the members from our county in going for it; but if the members from Morgan oppose it which they say they will the chance will be bad. Our chance to take the seat of Government to Springfield is better than I expected. An Internal Improvement Convention was held here since we met which recommended a loan of several millions of dollars on the faith of the state to construct Rail Roads. Some of the legislature are for it and some against it; which has the majority I can <2> not tell. There is great strife and struggling for the office of U.S. Senator here at this time. It is probable we shall ease their pains in a few days. The opposition men have no candidate of their own and consequently they smile as complacently at the angry snarls of the contending Van Buren candidates and their respective friends as the Christian does at Satan's rage. You recollect I mentioned in the outset of this letter that I had been unwell. That is the fact though I belive I am about well now; but that with other things I can not account for have conspired and have gotten my spirits so low that I feel that I would rather be any place in the world than here. I really can not endure the thought of staying here ten weeks. Write back as soon as you get this and if possible say something that will please me for really I have not been pleased since I left you. This letter is so dry and stupid that I am ashamed to send it but with my present feelings I can not do any better. Give my respects to Mr & Mrs Abell and family. Your friend LincolnMiss Mary S.

LINCOLN Abraham 1809 1865; and Edward EVERETT 1794 1865
An Oration delivered on the Battlefield of Gettysburg November 19 1863 at the Consecration of the Cemetery Prepared for the Internment of the Remains of those who fell in Battles of July 1st 2d and 3d 1863
New York: Baker & Godwin 1863. 8vo. 9 x 5 5/8 inches. 48pp. Publisher's lettered wrappers publisher's ad on rear wrapper. Repair to paper spine. Within a modern box.<br/> <br/>"Four score and seven years ago.": the earliest publication of the Gettysburg Address in book form preceded only by the exceptionally rare sixteen-page pamphlet The Gettysburg Solemnities known in only three copies.<br/> <br/>Lincoln made his speech at the dedication of a cemetery on the Gettysburg battlefield some four months after the bloody and pivotal battle that turned the tide of the Civil War in favor of the Union. Lincoln's speech was preceded by an address from Edward Everett the most famous orator of his day. Everett's speech took some ninety minutes to deliver and is largely forgotten. Lincoln's speech delivered in only a few minutes is immortal. It is a supreme distillation of American values and of the sacrifices necessary for the survival of liberty and freedom. "The Washington Chronicle of 18-21 November reported extensively on this ceremony and included a verbatim text of 'Edward Everett's Great Oration.' On the fourth day it noted in passing that the President had also made a speech but gave no details. When it came to the separate publication on 22 November Everett's 'Oration' was reprinted from the standing type but Lincoln's speech had to be set up. It was tucked away as a final paragraph on page 16 of the pamphlet The Gettysburg Solemnities. It was similarly treated when the meanly produced leaflet was replaced by a 48-page booklet published by Baker and Godwin of New York in the same year" PMM. Lincoln's address appears on page 40 and parenthetical notes are added indicating "applause" and "long-continued applause." A diagram on page 32 gives the details of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg.<br/> <br/>Howes E232 "b"; Monaghan 193; Grolier American 100 72 note; Streeter Sale 1747; Sabin 23263; cf.

Originally published: London: William How 1588. xxxvii iii-xxvii new introduction xiv 151 leaves total 364 pp. Reprinted by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. 2013. With a new introduction by Steve Sheppard William Enfield Professor of Law University of Arkansas School of Law. ISBN-13: 9781616192495; ISBN-10: 1616192496. Hardcover. New. $49.95 "From this work Shakespeare is supposed to have acquired some of his legal knowledge" Sweet & Maxwell I: 166. In his introduction Sheppard addresses longstanding academic speculation as to whether Shakespeare learned law from Fraunce. Written in 1588 The Lawiers Logike is the first legal treatise to apply the tools of logic to legal argument. This was a controversial and new concept at the time because its thesis contrasts with common law and its unmethodical and disorganized approach to law. Its influence is still felt. It is a unique work in which Fraunce castigates "lazy lawyers" and mixes illustrations from poetry and prose with often quite technical illustrations from law treatises and case reports. In his introduction Steve Sheppard points out that this "work informs three fields of American law - the study of legal analysis and argument the intersection of law with other disciplines and the moral justification of law itself." Introduction iii. "Abraham Fraunce's The Lawiers Logike 1588 was the first attempt to theorise English law within a structure provided by humanist dialectic and rhetoric." -- Mark D. Walters Cambridge Law Journal 67 2008 360 Abraham Fraunce 1559-1592 attended St. John's College Cambridge enrolled in Gray's Inn in 1583 and was called to the bar in 1588 before Christopher Yelverton and Francis Bacon. In addition to his law practice he was a noted poet having been a classmate and protege of Philip Sidney Edmund Spenser's patron. unknown books

Abraham Thornton a bricklayer "was accused of rape and murder after attending a dance where he became intimate with a gardener's daughter named Mary Ashford. They left the dance together and her body was found the next morning in a deep pool of water near a local footpath. Thornton was tried at the Warwick assizes on 8 August 1817. Since the marks on Mary's body were not necessarily inconsistent with Thornton's claim that she had consented to sexual intercourse and since the times on the morning in question when Thornton was seen walking home to Bromwich suggested he could not have been with her when she met her death the jury found him not guilty. The case aroused much interest and reminded people of a similar murder of a local woman a year earlier. Many were convinced of Thornton's guilt and he was assailed in local and London newspapers. A group collected around the Birmingham solicitor William Bedford invoked the old legal process of 'appeal of murder' by which a person acquitted of murder could be tried again for the same offense. This process was generally regarded as obsolet. unknown books

A RETROSPECT OF THE PAST AS CONNECTED WITH AND PREPARATORY TO A FAITHFUL EXPOSITION INTENDED TO BE GIVEN OF THE DIVINE WILL AND DISPENSATION DISCLOSED IN THE SACRED BOOKS RECEIVED AS AUTHORITY BY JEWS. BY.AN ISRAELITE
Cincinnati: Robinson & Jones 1848.

Lindo argues that God's Covenant with the Jews "has never been intermitted but has always been and still continues to be in operation." Through the revelation they received at Sinai "the world is indebted for the civilization it now enjoys and will continue to be indebted for the preservation of that civilization." Christianity he says was "originally a Jewish sect adhering strictly to the monotheism of the Old Testament" but it has "gradually become so perverted as to remove it from what it was originally." <br/>FIRST EDITION.

Good.<br/><br/> One of six contemporary printings this is the only one which does not begin with the phrase 'Connecticut Republicanism.' Bishop was a Jeffersonian and outspoken anti- Federalist which made him an unusual figure in Connecticut politics. "Learning that he would give this Republican campaign speech as the Phi Beta Kappa orator the Yale Corporation withdrew Bishop's invitation. Speaking to 1500 people at a local meeting-house Bishop in rousing rhetoric denounced the state and national Federalist party for its leadership social assumptions and class prejudices. He argued that the Federalists were deluding the people in order to enslave them under a monarchy and castigated the union of church and state in Connecticut charging the clergy with preaching Federalist propaganda. The two-hour harangue ended with a call for the election of Republicans to preserve the liberty so dearly and recently won." Sheidley. <br/>Evans 36980. Felcone 18. Sheidley 132.

LINCOLN'S TREATMENT OF GEN. GRANT
New York: Sold at 13 Park Row and at all Democratic Newspaper Offices 1864. 8pp caption title disbound a bit of blank margin wear Good. At head of title: 'Document No. 12.' <br/><br/> This Democratic Party campaign pamphlet portrays President Lincoln as an incompetent military strategist who perpetually "interfered with General McClellan both when he was general-in-chief and afterward when he commanded the brave Army of the Potomac." Worse Lincoln has "The Taint of Disunion." He not McClellan the Democratic presidential candidate supported the Jeffersonian right of revolution in a speech during his single term in Congress. He and other "ultra abolitionists" are the "original secessionists and disunion men." <br/> George McClellan wants the rebel States to return to the Union but Lincoln's policies render that impossible. Lincoln "regards the States as dead and gone. He magnifies and strengthens the position of the Richmond dynasty" by seeking to negotiate "only with Jefferson Davis." <br/>Monaghan 326. Not in LCP.

Whitman Walt; Lincoln Abraham
Invitation to private reception following Whitman's lecture "The Death of Abraham Lincoln
New York City 1887. Invitation to Walt Whitman's private reception after his celebrated lecture "The Death of Abraham Lincoln" at Madison Square Theatre on April 14 1887. Whitman had given public readings of his Lincoln lecture variously edited since 1879; one version was published in Specimen Days in 1882-1883. Scheduled on the twenty-second anniversary of Lincoln's assassination the 1887 event was staged as a benefit for the ailing Whitman who remained seated throughout his sold-out tribute to the Union's "Martyr Chief": "there is a cement to the whole people subtler more underlying than any thing in written constitution or courts or armies - namely the cement of a death identified thoroughly with that people at its head and for its sake." As William Pannapacker notes Whitman's passionate public identification with Lincoln was central to his emergence as "The Good Gray Poet" a national treasure: "Whitman's experiments in self-creation finally succeeded with a major segment of the public when he enclosed his persona within the halo encircling the martyred President" Revised Lives 22. The New York audience for Whitman's performance included Mark Twain John Hay Augustus St. Gaudens James Russell Lowell and Charles Eliot Norton; Andrew Carnegie could not make it but purchased a box for $350. At the end of his performance Whitman was surprised by a gift of lilacs from poet E.C. Stedman's young granddaughter a reference to his great elegy for Lincoln "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd." In New York City for a single night Whitman hosted a reception in his rooms at the Westminster Hotel after the lecture; this invitation was printed for the occasion. The evening was an important one for New York literary society a celebration "at least as spectacular as the event itself" according to the New York Sun. Looking "like a painting of Jove" Whitman entertained a constant stream of admirers relieved only by the performance of the Afro-Cuban violinist Claudio Brindis de Salas Garrido "El Paganini Negro" who serenaded Whitman on a seventeenth-century Ruggeri violin: "Walt was mightily pleased with the music." A surprising survival a near-fine artifact of the nineteenth-century American literary scene. Ivory card measuring 2.75 x 3.75 inches printed recto only: "Walt Whitman / At Home -- Thursday Evening / April 14th 1887 / Westminster Hotel Irving Place and 16th St. New York." Penciled bookseller note to verso: "April 14 1887 for his most famous lecture Lincoln / WW in NY for only one 1 night." Card lightly toned; half-inch closed tear to head expertly repaired. Housed in envelope fragment with penciled inventory number bookseller note and collector's note: "Whitman card / gift from Capt. Cohn -- / House of Books / Aug 7 1950.". unknown books
