1866réf. 43052Washington D.C.: n.p. 1866. First edition. A very good copy with inch marginal closed tear light soiling faint marginal stain. Broadside. 6 x 9 1/2 inches. Michigan senator Jacob Merritt Howard 1805-1871 who had worked closely with Lincoln in drafting and passing the Thirteenth Amendment was a strong supporter of his measures including "emergency actions during the secession crisis and advocated 'severe exemplary and speedy punishment of the rebels. He was especially vocal on all matters pertaining to the confiscation of rebel property and the emancipation of slaves. He was also one of the most forceful advocates of the 1863 Conscription Act" ANBO. His ire extended to trying for treason the Confederate leaders. In December he wanted to know why Davis had not been put on trial and now despite it being well-known that Davis did not have complicity in Lincoln's murder he declared in this resolution that Davis be "charged with the crimes of having incited the assassination of Abraham Lincoln President of the United States and with the murder of soldiers of the Unites States held a prisoners of war during the rebellion and other cruel and barbarous practices in violation of the rules and usages of civilized war." Clement C. Clay was also to be tried. It appears that Merritt's resolution never made it to the floor for a second reading as was required by law. Scarce.

These Journals are an excellent source for President Washington's closing administration. His Address of December 8 1795 announces the end of the War with the Indians northwest of the Ohio River and urges measures to prevent violence against them: "Unless the murdering of Indians can be restrained by bringing the murderers to condign punishment all the exertions by the government to prevent destructive retaliations by the Indians will prove fruitless."

A charge that Kentucky Senator Humphrey Marshall had committed perjury-- arising from a suit brought by James Wilkinson in a Kentucky chancery court-- is examined in detail as are the admission to the Union of Tennessee and aspects of the Yazoo Claims. The Journal of the Second Session prints President Washington's Message "for the last time" to Congress in December 1796 summarizing "measures calculated to ensure a continuance of the friendship of the Indians and to preserve peace along the extent of our interior Frontier" as well as to "guard our advanced settlements from the predatory incursions of those unruly individuals who cannot be restrained by their Tribes." He reports on the implementation of the Treaty with England and on the boundary between the U.S. and the Floridas owned by Spain; urges "the gradual creation of a navy" development of American industry establishment of a National University and a Military Academy. Material is also considered on the southern and western boundaries of Georgia; ratification of the first ten amendments to the Constitution; inquiries on the proposed Eleventh Amendment immunizing States from suit without their consent; Vice-President Adams's farewell to the Senate before his installation as President; results of the 1796 election with electoral votes cast by each of the 16 States Tennessee Kentucky and Vermont having joined the Original Thirteen and announcement of the election of Adams and Thomas Jefferson as President and Vice President respectively.
