‎THE OLIVE BRANCH--PEACE AND UNION. HOW WE SHALL OBTAIN THEM caption title‎

‎New York NY: P.W. Derham Printer and Stationer 15 Nassua Street Corner of Pine 1863. Folio broadside 48 x 29.5 cm. text in two columns beneath the title in display type. Old folds with slight damage; some foxing. Professionally rebacked. This broadside printed ca. 1863-4 offers a political analysis of the options for reconciliation with the Confederacy and a denunciation of the statements of Gov. Horatio Seymour. Printed by P.W. Derham a stationer from New York whose other surviving works include an 1862-4 broadside reprint of a pre-secession speech by Alexander H. Stephens Vice President of the Confederacy in which Stephens argues for preserving the Union Hummel 542: notes this is a "forged speech for the political campaign; 1864". <br /> The author of the broadside presents four scenarios for reconciliation with the South and examines the Confederate response to each by quoting several Southern newspapers including the Richmond Dispatch the Atlanta Intelligencer the Richmond Enquirer and the Charleston Mercury among others. The author proposes several solutions including applying for foreign intervention surrendering and appealing to the South to rejoin the Union and recognizing the independence of the Confederacy though invariably Confederate viewpoints making each option impossible are presented. For example the author proposes to "Hold out the olive branch confess our error in having resented the bombardment of Fort Sumter propose Peace and Union and with becoming dignity await the answer which the South cannot fail to give its faithful ally the Democratic Party" but then notes "that answer we have already." The author goes on to provide several quotes in which zealous Southern newspaper writers declare that they can never rejoin the Union again under any circumstances. The author also quotes several statements from Horatio Seymour who was running for re-election as governor of the state of New York implying he was a Southern sympathizer. Ultimately the author of the broadside in satirical style is unable to reach any convincing conclusion for the best method of attaining "Peace and Union" but represents an early rejection of the Peace Democrat or Copperhead positions which were to become so frequent 1862-64. Two listings found on OCLC: Lib. of Congress; NY Hist. Society. The New York Historical Society notes that the printer P.W. Derham was listed in New York City directories as at this address from 1863-1877 and that this broadside's purpose was "opposing the Democratic Party platform and the reelection of New York Democratic governor Horatio Seymour." <br /> Seymour 1810-1886 who had been elected governor of New York in 1852 and again in 1862 was running for re-election in 1864. He supported the Crittenden Compromise of 1860 in an effort to keep the South from seceding but supported the Civil War once it commenced. According to his biography in the DAB he continued to oppose some of Pres. Lincoln's policies during the war and "insisted that the extra-constitutional powers assumed by the Lincoln administration were the most serious problem arising from the Civil War." For his actions in re-establishing order after the New York Draft Riots Horace Greeley characterized Seymour as a temporizing "Copperhead." Seymour lost his bid for re-election. P.W. Derham, Printer and Stationer, 15 Nassua Street, Corner of Pine unknown‎

‎[War of 1812] [New York] HAWLEY, William]‎

‎SUPPLEMENT TO THE NEW-YORK EVENING POST. SATURDAY JULY 31. TRIAL OF CAPTAIN HAWLEY. caption title and start of text‎

‎New York 1813. Newspaper broadside. 51 x 34 cm. Text in five columns. Overall toning to paper faint old stain paper flaw across part of the last two columns resulting in some disjointing of text left margin uneven disbound. <br /> In 1813 militia commanders in New York were ordered to be ready for a British invasion. One of the commanders Capt. William Hawley in charge of the 142nd Regiment 3d Brigade of Infantry issued an order to his men on June 10 re-printed in this newspaper supplement which reads in part: "The United States being involved in war whether just and necessary we as citizens have a right to judge and to express that judgment without fear or molestation. But while we enjoy those rights we are bound to render obedience to the laws of our country and to support the government at the same time that we condemn the administration for their weakness and folly in plunging us unprepared into this Quixotic war. From the support hitherto afforded the General Government by its citizens we have a right to claim of them and they are bound to give us protection. In consequence of the misconduct of our rulers this protection has not been afforded us and we are now called upon to protect ourselves. Painful as this duty may be I hope and trust that every citizen under my command will sacrifice with me on the altar of patriotism every feeling inconsistent with a full co-operation with the rest of our fellow-citizens; and when the enemy shall approach to rally round the standard of our country and in defence of our liberties our homes and our fire-sides be ready and willing to lay down our lives at the threshhold of our country." For his outspoken opinions Hawley was arrested and charged as follows in his court martial trial: "For unofficer-like conduct in endeavouring to excite dissention and insubordination among the men under his command by issuing on the 10th day of June 1813 to the Company under his command an order." Hawley pleaded not guilty and was subsequently acquitted. Brigadier General Bogardus then reversed the sentence of the courts martial stating that Hawley's order "was calculated to introduce political discussion between the Captain and the privates of his company and thus to lessen the distance and to diminish the respect which ought to exist between them." Although citizens have a right to question rules and doctrines of the General Government the same rights are not afforded to the military "because it was impeaching and impugning the motives and conduct of the General Government which in a junior officer not having a separate command could not have been necessary as an act of discretion and was not authorized by the authority of the state or of his superior officers."<br /> The final three columns print Capt. Hawley's written defense of his actions in which he asserts the rights of citizen soldiers to free speech. He states his reasoning for each sentence in his order to his company. Regarding his claim that the government had not properly protected its citizens by following the maxim "in peace prepare for war" he cites an address by Pres. Thomas Jefferson in 1808 who chose to use the abundance of money in the country's treasury to fund canals rather than protect its cities. Hawley says ". if the light of truth may not shed its beams among citizen-soldiers; acting under the law organizing the militia; if obedience to the laws of my country and a willing support of the government be wrong: If the burden of my song must be 'Great is President Madison of the Americans and all that he does is right and just' Then have I offended. But not until this doctrine is established and becomes the law of my country can I consent to yield those rights for which our fathers fought and bled." William Hawley 1784-1845 who had previously studied law in New York City resigned his commission in 1814. Richard Barbuto in his book "New York's War of 1812: Politics Society and Combat" Univ. of Oklahoma Press: 2021 p.150 notes: "Many soldiers were well aware of the case. Such events diminshed the morale and cohesion of the militia units charged with the defense of the city." Hawley later became an Episcopal minister moving to Washington DC to become assistant rector of St. John's Church until his death. He officiated at the wedding of James Monroe's daughter the funeral of William Henry Harrison and the marriages of the children of John Quincy Adams and John Tyler. see: his brief biography on the Indian Land Tenure Foundation's website where he is also listed as a signer of a treaty with the Sioux in 1837. unknown‎

‎[Civil War Recruiting Poster] [Massachusetts] (BANKS, Nathaniel P.)‎

‎ATTENTION! All citizens of BROOKLINE and ROXBURY ready and willing to start for WASHINGTON by daylight to-morrow TUESDAY are requested to meet at the drill room Brookline at Eight o'clock this MONDAY Evening. May 26 1862‎

‎Boston MA 1862. Broadside. 25 x 20 cm. Blind stamp of Essex Institute in one corner; short split at margin along an old fold line not affecting text. An attractive broadside appealing for men to go on a day's notice to support the Union cause. Based on the date we think it fair to believe that this is an appeal to support former Governor of Massachusetts now Major-General Nathaniel P. Banks. The Confederate capture of Front Royal on May 23 left Banks isolated and outnumbered and in full retreat. He escaped across the Potomac at Harpers Ferry but with considerable losses especially in prisoners but nonetheless rescued his army and returned to Washington. A timely call to reinforce Banks who as governor prepared a state militia which when called by Banks' successor Gov. Andrew were well drilled and well equipped and which promptly supported the Union in the desperate early months of the war. unknown‎

‎DRAFT COPY OF GENERAL ORDER NO. 171 REGARDING HORSES FOR TRANSPORTATION JUNE 9 1863‎

‎G.O. 171 W.D. A.G.O. 1863. Single sheet of lined paper 9.5 x 7.5 in. 2 pp. approx. 220 words. A manuscript copy in a clerical hand signed secretarial by E.D. Townsend. Blind embossed stamp of the Capitol building and "Congress P & P" in upper left corner docketed on the second page. Old fold lines short separation along one fold. General Order No. 171 consisted of five parts regulating the care and disposition of officer's horses. The first section requires that a departing officer turn in his horse for remuneration for not more than he paid for it. The second section states that he cannot sell a horse provided for him and the third and fourth refer to orders to transport horses at the public expense. Finally officers who apply for transfers can not transport their horse from one department to another. The published versions of the General Orders were nearly all issued by Assistant A.G. Townsend Adjutant Generals Office of the War Dept. in Washington DC. Edward Davis Townsend 1817-1893 was born in Boston Massachusetts and graduated from West Point in 1837. He served in the artillery during the Seminole War and then on the northern frontier. Townsend joined the Adjutant General's Department in 1852 serving first on the Pacific coast then in Washington DC during the Civil War. Townsend was charged with gathering and organizing many of the government documents into an official record of the war a project that lasted well beyond his lifetime taking some forty years to complete. see his obituary in the New York Times May 12 1893 and Alan & Barbara Aimone's book "A User's Guide to the Official Records of the American Civil War" Shippensburg PA: 1993. unknown‎
