Kane Judge of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania In the Case of the United States of America Ex. Rel. John H. Wheeler vs. Passmore Williamson Including the Several Opinions Delivered; And The Arguments of Counsel Reported by Arthur Cannon Esq. Phonographer. Philadelphia: Uriah Hunt & Son 1856. Octavo modern half calf-gilt marbled boards; pp. 191. $2200.First edition of ""the most complete record available"" of the controversial Pennsylvania case on fugitive slaves a core work establishing a precedent ""in federal and state courtsÉ and important cause clÂbre for the antislavery movement"" crucial in asserting a clear path for the following year's Dred Scott decision and provoking a ""legal crisisÉ that led to the Civil War.""""During the fugitive slave controversy the abolitionist underground kicked into high gear."" This momentous shift was propelled by Federal District Judge John K. Kane in the Passmore Williamson case involving the rights of fugitive slave Jane Johnson. ""In July 1855 Col. John H. Wheeler the U.S. minister plenipotentiary designate to Nicaragua traveled to Philadelphia with his slave Jane and her two sons."" When she ""managed to get word out of her desire for freedom"" Black abolitionist William Still famed for his 1872 work Underground Railroad heard of her plight and alerted white abolitionist Passmore Williamson. They arranged to meet at the Philadelphia wharf and Williamson who arrived first immediately told Jane ""she was entitled to her freedom and released her from Wheeler's grasp."" As she fled with her two sons ""a heated exchange and scuffle occurred between Still Williamson and Wheeler who was held down by two of the five Black dockworkers present"" Sinha Slave's Cause 527-28.This triggered a series of major court cases when Williamson was presented with a writ of habeas corpus by Judge Kane and indictments were issued charging Williamson and the Black dockworkers for riot assault and robbery for the theft of slave property in transit. Although Williamson stated Jane and her sons were never in his custody Kane charged him with contempt and sentenced him to jail. As Frederick Douglass joined with others in attacking Kane's ""tyrannical position"" and Williamson petitioned for the contempt charge to be dropped Jane who adopted the surname of Johnson played yet another key role. In an affidavit sworn in Massachusetts she affirmed that she had never been in Williamson's custody stating: ""Nobody forced me awayÉ I always wished to be free and meant to be free when I came North"" Sinha 529. Although Jane was likely considered free under Pennsylvania law the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ""refused to interfere with Williamson's incarceration"" after Judge Kane rejected Jane's affidavit Finkelman Slavery in the Courtroom 40-41. In effect Kane's defense of slave-owner rights ""created a new constitutional rightÑ'transit for property and person'Ñbased on a Constitution written to 'establish a more perfect union.'"" Williamson was imprisoned for nearly six months and became a martyr for the abolitionist cause but ""more importantÉ was the precedent set in the federal and state courts by this case."" Judge Kane's insistence ""that Wheeler had a right to bring his slaves into Pennsylvania and capture them there if they escapedÉ despite state law explicitly prohibiting it"" opened the way for the ""high-water mark of this positionÉ in the Dred Scott case 1857 a year after Kane's opinion"" Finkelman Imperfect Union 260-64; emphasis added. The case of Passmore Williamson and Jane Johnson was ""an important cause clÂbre for the antislavery movementÉ an example ofÑand contributor toÑthe legal crisis and the crisis in federalism that led to the Civil War"" Finkelman Slavery 41. First edition: recorded by court reporter Arthur Cannon: ""contains the most complete record available of the proceedings before Judge Kane in the federal district court and the proceedings in this case before the Pennsylvania Supreme CourtÉ of particular interest is the dissent of Justice John C. Knox"" which is not present in the Pennsylvania Reports. ""In addition to the two published opinions of Judge Kane it also includes Kane's opinions and remarks from various hearings not published in Federal Cases"" Finkelman Slavery 41-2. Blockson 2557.

In his autobiography The Way of an Investigator Cannon counts himself among the descendents of Jacques de Noyon a French Canadian explorer and coureur des bois. A high school teacher Mary Jeannette Newson became his mentor. "Miss May" Newson motivated and helped him take his academic skills to Harvard University. In 1896 his first year at Harvard Medical School he started working in Bowditch's Lab and in 1900 he received his medical degree. After graduation Cannon was hired by Harvard to instruct in the Department of Physiology. In 1906 Cannon became Higginson Professor and chairman of the Department of Physiology at Harvard Medical School a position he held until 1942. From 1914 to 1916 he was also President of the American Physiological Society. In 1915 he coined the term fight or flight to describe an animal's response to threats in Bodily Changes in Pain Hunger Fear and Rage: An Account of Recent Researches into the Function of Emotional Excitement.

A very good copy. $250. Harold Burton was born and raised in a Boston suburb. He attended Bowdoin College and completed his law degree at Harvard. He practiced law in Ohio and later served as the mayor of Cleveland. Burton holds the unusual distinction of being the only Republican appointed to the Supreme Court from 1933 to 1953 a period of virtually complete Democratic control. He proved to be the most liberal of Truman's four appointments. He possessed extraordinary personal charm. As one scholar wrote "probably no member of the.Court enjoyed greater affection from his colleagues on the bench." But his liberal views did not always protect individual rights as his opinion for the Court in the Bute case makes plain. OYEZ.org. unknown books

The Chickamauga Battlefield is in my old Judicial Circuit when I was Judge of the Superior Court and it is in the District which I represented in Congress for twelve years.I would certainly take great pride as I always have done heretofore in the protection and care of this great National Park and I feel that if you would be kind enough to write or tell the President who I am and what you know of me as a Representative in Congress it would go a long way in securing the appointment."

1839rif. 66486Nashville TN: Executive office 1839. First edition. 4to 28 cm. 2 pp. Printed broadsheet address to "Fellow-Citizens of Tennessee announcing his candidacy for re-election as Governor of Tenness while explaining that the duties of the office will keep him from attending a statewide series of appearances with his opponent James K. Polk: "The attempt to make the tour of the State might and I fear would result in serious injury to the interests of the people as well as the inconveniences to which absence of the Executive would subject those who have immediate business with his department." The balance of this two-page address deals with Cannon's performance as governor the first Whig to hold the office especially emphasizing his opposition to the Jackson and Van Buren policies that brought about the Panic of 1837. Cannon was unable to keep his word on the campaigning however and "Newton and Polk undertook a joint canvass of the state but Cannon was no match for Polk whose ability as a stump speaker and powers of ridicule compelled the slower less magnetic Cannon to refuse to continue to speak from the same platform . Cannon was defeated and his public career ended" DAB. Not in American Imprints or Allen Tennessee Imprints 1791-1875. Not recorded on OCLC.
