‎NATIONAL REPUBLICAN PLATFORM Adopted by the National Republican Convention Held in Chicago May 17 1860‎

‎Chicago: Press & Tribune Office 1860. Reproduction ca 1955. Mounted on stiff card stock. Now housed in an archival mylar sleeve. Age-toning. 1 cm discoloration spots in margin corners glue. Small paper snag to top edge of upper margin. A Very Good copy. Broadside. Patriotically themed wood engraving in masthead. 13-15/16" x 8-15/16" 35.5 cm x 22.8 cm. <br/><br/>The 1860 Republican National Convention met in Chicago Illinois from May 16 to May 18. The convention selected former Congressman Abraham Lincoln of Illinois for president and Senator Hannibal Hamlin of Maine for vice president. The platform of 17 declaration of principles was drafted by the Platform Committee chaired by Judge William Jessup of Pennsylvania the entirety of which was adopted by the convention members verbatim save for the insertion in the Second clause of famous language from the Declaration of Independence that "All men are created equal; and they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights." Regarding the platform 10 clauses dealt directly with the issues of free soil principles slavery the Fugitive Slave Act and the preservation of the Union while the remaining 7 dealing with other issues. Clauses 12 through 16 of the platform called for a protective tariff enactment of the Homestead Act freedom of immigration into the United States and full rights to all immigrant citizens internal improvements and the construction of a Pacific railroad. In addition to the preservation of the Union all five of these additional promises were enacted by the Thirty-seventh Congress and implemented by Abraham Lincoln or the presidents who immediately succeeded him. Wiki. In a presumed later printing of the platform we find added after the 17th declaration a Supplementary Resolution not present on our copy but present on one held by the Clements wherein the Committee expresses its sympathies "with those men who have been driven . and are now exiled from their homes on account of their opinions; and we hold the Democratic Party responsible for this gross violation of that clause of the Constitution which declares that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States."   The original is quite rare known in but a few copies.  The one here offered was apparently reproduced in the mid-20th C as it is accompanied by a 1955 letter from the LoC to a Mr Chester Arthur of Oakland acknowledging receipt of a "copy of the recently published reprint of the original broadside containing the Republican Platform of 1860 which is in your possession.”   Even in this mid-20th C. reproduction this platform a rare & important document. in which it guides and outlines the philosophy "all men are created equal" policies "True to the Union" & direction "Slavery . is a dangerous political heresy" for the United States as well as its future president Abraham Lincoln at the beginning of one of the nation's most turbulent times.

‎President Lincoln Vouches for a Maryland Unionist Congressman‎

‎<p>"<i>I esteem Gov. Francis Thomas as an able and very true man. I do not know that he agrees with me in everything—perhaps he does not; but he has given me evidence of sincere friendship & as I think of patriotism.</i>"</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Autograph Letter Signed to Robert C. Schenck May 31 1863 Washington D.C. 1 p.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Complete Transcript</b></p><p><i>Private</i></p><p><i>Executive Mansion</i></p><p> <i>Washington May 31 1863.</i></p><p><i>Major Gen. Schenck</i></p><p><i>Baltimore Md.</i></p><p> <i>I have been requested to say what I very truly can that I esteem Gov. Francis Thomas as an able and very true man. I do not know that he agrees with me in everything—perhaps he does not; but he has given me evidence of sincere friendship & as I think of patriotism.</i></p><p><i>Yours truly</i></p><p><i>A. Lincoln.</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Lincoln had served in Congress together with fellow Whig Robert C. Schenck in the 1840s and made Schenck a Major General at the beginning of the war. Severely wounded at the Second Battle of Bull Run in August 1862 Schenck was given command of the Middle Department. He firmly supported the Unconditional Unionists from his headquarters in Baltimore and despite the necessity of tact in the politically sensitive border state of Maryland had little tolerance for middle ground.</p><p>In July 1861 Secretary of War Simon Cameron with the president's encouragement had authorized Thomas to raise four regiments of loyal citizens from western Maryland for the protection of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. A month later Thomas recommended and Lincoln endorsed three officers for the 1st Maryland Regiment Potomac Home Guard.</p><p>In early September 1862 Thomas sent Lincoln a lengthy private letter: "Our acquaintance is very limited…and it may be presumptuous in me to write this letter." Nevertheless he continued "In my humble judgment <u>all</u> the evils now threatening seriously the utter ruin of the country are to be traced to the error consumatted in the organization of your Cabinet. There is not so far as my knowledge extends at the head of any one of the Departments a single individual who has come into your Administration under the right influences…" "Now I have watched with the deepest anxiety" Thomas informed Lincoln "all or nearly all of your difficulties have their origin in the fact that you have Presidential aspirants in your cabinet and Presidential aspirants in your own party outside of your cabinet all of whom have their partisans in the Senate and House of Representatives." The "vast interests at stake" demanded that Lincoln reorganize his cabinet and announce his own candidacy for reelection.</p><p>Two months later Lincoln's cabinet crisis reached a boiling point when Radical Republican senators demanded Secretary of State William H. Seward's resignation. Lincoln called the senators to a meeting with every member of the cabinet except Seward who had offered his resignation. Lincoln asked if the cabinet had freely debated issues and offered input before important decisions were made. The cabinet agreed that they had. Chase who had painted a picture to the senators of Seward and Lincoln running roughshod over the cabinet was cleverly chastened and offered his resignation. Lincoln refused the resignations of Seward and Chase thus maintaining intact his now famous "team of rivals" and keeping the senate at bay.</p><p>Despite his criticism Thomas was also supportive. On April 23 1863 he was one of the speakers at a mass meeting of Unconditional Union men of Allegany County Maryland. Thomas "accorded to President Lincoln the purest motives and a patriotic determination to crush the rebellion and restore peace and prosperity to the country. He said that power and responsibility must rest somewhere and that he was willing to confide in the President and sustain him to the fullest extent in carrying out the measures adopted by Congress for prosecuting the war. He spoke of the emancipation proclamation of the President as a retaliatory measure for the confiscation acts of the southern conspirators and said it was a war measure calculated to subdue the rebels who had raised the standard of rebellion without any justifiable cause."</p><p>Despite the unsolicited advice and criticism Lincoln offered this honest testimonial. It isn't clear if this answered a request of Thomas or a mutual contact or if Lincoln wrote it to send Thomas with his own purpose in mind. In mid-April Schenck who had a reputation for ham-handed harshness ordered at least eight persons charged with "using treasonable language" or "disloyal practices" in Baltimore to be exiled to the South. Less than a week later he had two newspaper editors from smaller towns in Maryland sent South for "having published treasonable articles." On May 28 three days before Lincoln penned this letter Schenck and Maryland Governor Augustus W. Bradford visited Pennsylvania Governor Andrew G. Curtin in Harrisburg to discuss "the more effectual protection of the southern borders of Pennsylvania and Maryland against any further incursions of rebel cavalry." Schenck and the two governors then left for Washington. Within a month the entire Confederate Army of Northern Virginia was in Pennsylvania heading for a conflict at Gettysburg.</p><p>In mid-July 1863 a few weeks after writing this private letter Lincoln told his secretary John Hay that General Henry W. Halleck "thinks Schenck never had a military idea & never will learn one. however you may doubt or disagree with Halleck he is very apt to be right in the end."</p><p>Schenck resigned from the army in December 1863 after again winning election to Congress. On the other hand Lincoln maintained his trust of Thomas.</p><p>On July 5 1864 Confederate General Jubal Early crossed the Potomac River at Harper's Ferry with a corps of the Army of Northern Virginia aiming at Washington. General Lew Wallace's determined resistance near Frederick Maryland delayed the advance by a day providing defenders in Washington critical time to prepare. After the Confederate army withdrew into Virginia on July 14 Major General David Hunter ordered the provost marshal in Frederick to arrest "all male secessionists with their families" and force those who had given "undue sympathy" to the Confederates to sell their furniture for the benefit of Union families who had lost possessions during the incursion and to seize the sympathizers' houses for government use. By August 1 Major John I. Yellott had placed twenty-three southern sympathizers and their families under house arrest.</p><p>On August 3 Lincoln ordered the Secretary of War to suspend Hunter's order and have Hunter send a report of the charges against each individual. Hunter requested to be relieved of command a wish that was soon granted.On August 13 Thomas protested to fellow Marylander and Postmaster General Montgomery Blair writing that the arrests of "quiet inoffensive citizens who have not publicly given by words or acts encouragement to the enemy cannot but be mischievous." The President asked Thomas to investigate.</p><p>In September Thomas reported back. With the exception of two already discharged and two others charged with "a grave offence" who "ought to have an opportunity to establish their innocence" Thomas recommended that the President order the release of all the others on the list. Thomas followed up later that year reporting that specific charges had been made against only John W. Baughman an editor of the <i>Republican Citizen</i>newspaper in Frederick who had been sent South and against John Ruck and Isaack Ruck who were like the others on the list still under arrest at their homes in Frederick. On January 21 1865 Lincoln ordered all but Baughman discharged.</p><p>Lincoln's unmatched ability to take advice from all sides and to work with capable men whose own ambitions sometimes conflicted with Lincoln's views is reflected in our letter.</p><p><b>Robert C. Schenck</b> 1809-1890 was born in Ohio and graduated from Miami University in 1827. He received a master's degree in 1830 studied law under Thomas Corwin and gained admission to the bar in 1831. He moved to Dayton Ohio and opened a successful law practice. After serving in the state legislature he represented his district in Congress from 1841 to 1851 when President Millard Fillmore appointed him as U.S. Minister to Brazil. Schenck served there until 1853. In 1859 he gave perhaps the first public endorsement of Lincoln for the Presidency in a speech in Dayton. At the beginning of the Civil War Lincoln commissioned Schenck as a brigadier general and he served in both Battles of Bull Run and in the 1862 Valley Campaign. He was wounded at the Second Battle of Bull Run and held an administrative post in Maryland while recovering. He resigned his commission in December 1863 after election to Congress where he served again until 1871. President Ulysses S. Grant appointed him as U.S. Minister to Great Britain a position he held until 1876 though his involvement in an American mining scandal left him thoroughly discredited.</p><p><b>Francis Thomas</b> 1799-1876 was born in Frederick County Maryland attended college in Annapolis and was admitted to the bar in 1820. He began a practice in Frankville in western Maryland and served in the state legislature in 1822 1827 and 1829. From 1831 to 1833 he served in the U.S. House of Representatives. Thomas served as governor of Maryland from 1842 to 1845 but his term and political future was marred by his public and contentious divorce from his much younger wife Sally Campbell Preston McDowell the daughter of the governor of Virginia.Thomas was a strong opponent of slavery which was unusual in a border state like Maryland. Defeated for reelection in 1844 he served in the state constitutional convention of 1850. He was again elected to Congress in 1860 serving until 1869 as a Unionist an Unconditional Unionist and then a Republican. From 1870 to 1872 he was collector of internal revenue for Maryland and then U.S. Minister to Peru from 1872 to 1875. He was killed when struck by a locomotive near his estate in Frankville.</p> books‎

Lincoln then gets personal: "I wonder where you may be just now. Events and people are moving so fast and so far in these strange days that it is hard to keep up with them. Perhaps you are somewhere the other side of the world by this time." Lincoln writes that he wished Coddington well and hopes he can visit him on Cape Cod if he is in the Chatham area.

‎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.
