ABRAHAM LINCOLN. GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
The Gettysburg Address – November 20 1863 Rare First Day Printing by “Lincoln’s Dog†John Forney in the Philadelphia Press
<p>"<i>The brave men living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract…</i>"</p><p>Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is on page 2 along with Edward Everett's entire speech and a report on the ceremonies. Printed in an important newspaper owned by John Forney this version is in some ways more accurate than the more widely spread Associated Press report.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN. GETTYSBURG ADDRESS.</b>Newspaper <i>Philadelphia Press</i> Philadelphia November 20 1863. Complete 4 pp. approx. 20¼ x 28 in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>John Wien Forney</b> 1817-1881 had been a Democrat whose support for President James Buchanan brought appointment as clerk of the House of Representatives and lucrative printing contracts. However after Forney lost his election bid for the U.S. Senate he started the anti-Buchanan Philadelphia <i>Press</i> and switched to the Republican Party in 1860 becoming a key Lincoln supporter. Forney again served as House clerk and then secretary of the Senate until 1868. In that position he was one of only four men to sign the official 13th Amendment Resolution: President Lincoln Vice President Hamlin Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax and Forney writing "I certify that this Resolution originated in the Senate." At the same time he maintained his editorial "Letter from Occasional" column in the <i>Press</i> and established the Washington <i>Chronicle</i> aimed at the public and to soldiers in the Army of the Potomac. He interviewed the President on issues such as freedom of the press and the probable effects of the Emancipation Proclamation and was invited to consult about cabinet appointments. His White House access caused opponents to call him "Lincoln's dog."</p><p>The night before the Gettysburg Cemetery Forney got "roaring drunk and gave a violently pro-Lincoln speech" Boritt. Given that history he probably should not have been chosen to chaperone newly-elected vice president Andrew Johnson at the March 4 1865 inauguration; Johnson was widely criticized for his drunken performance there. After Lincoln's assassination and Johnson's veto of the Freedman's Bureau Act in 1868 Forney changed positions and campaigned for impeachment. Selling the <i>Chronicle</i> and returning to Philadelphia the chameleon-like editor switched back to the Democrats and started a weekly magazine <i>The Progress</i>. In addition he served as a director of the Texas & Pacific Railway.</p><p><b>Partial Transcript:</b></p><p>"<i>Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Applause Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a general battle-field of that war; we are met to dedicate a portion of it as the final resting place of those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this but in a larger sense we cannot dedicate we cannot consecrate we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. Applause The world will note nor long remember what we say here but it can never forget what they did here. Applause. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. Applause. It is rather for us here to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion. That we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain. Applause That the nation shall under God have a new birth of freedom and that the Government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth. Long applause. Three cheers given for the President of the United States and the Governors of the States…</i>"</p><p><b>Textual Differences</b></p><p>The speed with which printings were produced given 19th century communication issues and the lack of any official manuscript or text produced questions about Lincoln's exact words. This version includes the word "poor" in the line "<i>far above our <b>poor</b> power to add or detract.</i>" This was heard by some reporters and is present in both of Lincoln's drafts though is lost in most other contemporary printings. This version correctly quotes Lincoln's "<i>unfinished work</i>" which the AP incorrectly transcribed as "refinished work." The applause notations also differentiates the <i>Philadelphia Press</i> version from the AP report especially with the three cheers at the speech's conclusion.</p><p>Additional differences:</p><p>- The "<i>general battle-field of that war</i>" is the "great battle-field of that war" in the AP text.</p><p>- "<i>We are met to dedicate</i>" is "We have come to dedicate" in Lincoln's written copies.</p><p>- "<i>carried on</i>" is found here and in Lincoln's second draft but Lincoln used "advanced" in subsequent versions: "<i>have thus so far</i> so <i>nobly</i> carried on advanced"</p><p><b>Other Contents of the Paper</b></p><p>Page 1 starts with a column of advertising ie "<i>Cotton is not king yet.-I am selling linen sheetings at prices that are cheaper than cotton.</i>" The news begins with a report from Chattanooga: "<i>We lost 100 a fourth of whom were killed. The enemy had completely invested the place but Gen. Burnside will defend it to the last man … Our troops are in the best spirits. Every import point is fortified and confidence prevails that we shall whip the enemy out.</i>" Also reports from Charleston Atlanta Cumberland MD Harpers' Ferry VA Texas etc. A report via Baltimore on November 19th carries "most gloomy" news from Union prisoners at Richmond ending "these men must not be permitted to starve." A New York bank was rumored to have been robbed of $20000.</p><p>From Europe there's notice of a speech of Emperor Napolean III the differing interpretations as to whether it called for peace or war. There are reports of war like preparations in Russia.</p><p>An interesting notice: "<i>A slander on Mr. Lincoln refuted.-The remark said to have been ascribed to President Lincoln by Wendall Phillips to the affect that 'the greatest folly of his life was the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation' out of which such Copperhead journals as The World and The National Intelligencer are attempting to make political capital is emphatically pronounced in high quarters to be all together untrue.</i>"</p><p>Column 4 starts the extensive reporting on the National Cemetery at Gettysburg dedication including a "documentary history on the battles of July" and General Meade's letter sending his official report on the battle.</p><p>Column 5 discusses the grounds of the cemetery and starts Edward Everett's two hour oration which on page 2. Transcriptions include the prayer the dirge after the dedication the consecration speech by Charles Henry Brock and more.</p><p>Page 2 column 5 has more foreign news re Japan Britain Napoleon III's war with Mexico etc. Column 8 includes lengthy reports on battles in Tennessee and Virginia "half of Lee's army reported to be falling back to Richmond." At the bottom a <i>Boston Journal</i> description of some of Confederate firebrand Robert Toombs' slaves is republished.</p><p>Page 3 includes advertisements list of arrivals at hotels the offering of about 200 million dollars in treasury notes and the "five-twenty" six percent loan with Jay Cooke as subscription agent.</p><p>Page 4 includes a report from New York on the raising of colored troops and a notice about Professor McCulloh "who recently left a professorship in Columbia College … suddenly turned up in the south as Confederate brigadier general. He's said to be a native of Baltimore and a graduate of Princeton College. The <i>Pittsburgh Commercial</i> says that several years ago he was a professor of mathematics and natural sciences in Jefferson College Pennsylvania and was subsequently connected with the Coast Survey and the Philadelphia Mint."</p><p>More political news includes from a Western newspaper a platform "said to have been adopted by Ohio and others elsewhere since the elections: "<b>Resolved That we air in favur uv subjoogashen emansipashen confiscashen taxashen conscripshen exterminashen nigger enlistments and f there is anything else the peeple desire let em write post-pade and weel pass the necessary resolushen.</b>"</p><p>Reports from Philadelphia including police account of an attempted murder by a deserter who was passing counterfeit money a case of concealed deadly weapons and an arraignment of a women for running a "disorderly house". Plus Philadelphia financial reports "gold was much excited today and rose to 153 ½" p 4 col 3.</p><p>This is a scarce large format paper.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Some archival tape repairs on front page which we will have removed by a conservator.</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>
