1860Best.-Nr. List38104New York City 1860. Autograph letter signed "W." to "Dear John" written on the printed letterhead of Thomas Vernon attorney Nassau Street New York. 4 pp. on a single 8 x 10 inch sheet folded to make four pages of approximately 8 x 5 inches. Fine condition. An April 1860 political letter written in the months before the presidential election with the writer discussing the recent Rhode Island election and the way it was being read in New York. The letter refers to the April 4 1860 Rhode Island gubernatorial election in which William Sprague IV running as a Democratic/Conservative fusion candidate defeated Republican Seth Padelford. Outside Rhode Island the result was read by many as a meaningful Republican setback in the tense months before the presidential election. The author describes the result as producing "a profound sensation" among Democrats and Republicans and worries that outside Rhode Island it appeared as though "New England sentiment was faltering" on the "non-extension of Slavery." The letter also includes family news travel to Providence and Perth Amboy and legal/business matters relating to Ohio notes and accounts. Full text follows. "New York April 7th 1860 Dear John: "Yours of the 5th is before me as well as your letter to Aunt Addie and the papers giving an a/c of the deplorable result in R.I. Your despatch came duly to hand at 12-1/2 yesterday P.M. It saved Ellery the benefit of the bracing air of the early dawn of this glorious April morning. The Deacon & his amiable lady arrived this morning in fine spirits. It does me good to see Miss. Blanding so bright and rollicking. Ma is going down this P. M. with a view of hurrying your Ma off to Providence. Your Ma is at P. Amboy and I do hope she will go on to Prov. She has been subjected to too much wear and tear and anxiety & looks very much worn and depressed. She needs some cheerful faces and absence from constant and present trouble. I wish I could see some opening in the clouds. When I reflect upon the sorrows and exalted natures of Uncle Thomas and Aunt Addie it confers upon me the truth of another state where worth and purity will find reward. I do not think that Aunt Addie carries out however her favorite idea of the claims of parents as paramount to those of children. I think that she practically ignores her own claims or regards them as altogether subordinate. She has never given herself a chance and acts with a single view to the views of her children. "The news of the R.I. Election created a profound sensation here on Thursday morn'g. The joy of the Democrats was unbounded while the Republicans regarded it as the severest blow that their party has rec'd more disastrous than the national defeat of /56; for it looks to the County at large who do not understand the local issues upon which the contest went off as the New England sentiment was faltering in its devotion to the cause of non-extension of Slavery. "It is everywhere out of R.I. heralded as a Democratic triumph & hence inspires the Democrats while it depresses the Republicans. I hope that those deluded Republicans who voted for Sprague under the apprehension that they were not voting practically for the Democracy may be at some time able to forgive themselves and also receive the forgiveness of their country after due penance and probation. I am much obliged to you for the papers. "We are about foreclosing some of those Ohio notes and the delay is now caused by my inability to discover whether James Gregory's Thos. Bowen's & Anthony R. Jenkins' notes to your Father are paid or how much is paid on a/c of said notes. Do write me at once all you know. Uncle T. knows nothing about it. I have just rec'd the expected remittance from Brown on ac of the new sale of the 80 acre lot but have not yet Ex'd B's a/c. He says it took him all day to make it out and he hopes it is satisfactory. An a/c from Brown is a wonder indeed worth remarking. Do keep Aunt Addie a month. My love to Addie whom I hope to see soon. G.T.O. has gone to Newport 'via' Boston today. I saw Slater at the 5th Ave. Hotel on Thursday. Ma has just gone to P. Amboy. Aff'y W." A useful prewar political letter strongest for the writer's immediate reaction to the Rhode Island election of 1860 as understood from New York. Its interest lies less in the local election itself than in the way the result was taken as a national sign encouraging Democrats and discouraging Republicans over the issue of slavery's extension. . unknown

1864Best.-Nr. 11025Washington: Towers for the Union Congressional Committee 1864. 7 1pp. Loosened caption title as issued. Light wear and soil Good. An appeal for the votes of the troops "the working hands by which the nation's honor and manhood have been vindicated" in the upcoming presidential election. "Through four years of dread war in bright and dark days you have carried the Union in your hearts and on your bayonets." Opposing the Democrat-Copperhead platform as treasonous this pamphlet exhorts "If ever there was a time when Union bayonets were called on to think it is now. The crisis of the war when our armies have the rebellion in their grasp and are preparing to deal its death-blow finds the country precipitated into the turmoil of a Presidential election."

1856Best.-Nr. 18521Indianapolis 1856. 16pp disbound. Scattered foxing. Good. A Democratic presidential campaign pamphlet. It charges that during the brief time that Fremont "the Black Republican candidate for the Presidency" was a U.S. Senator his votes-- opposing the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia-- showed him "to be a most ultra pro-slavery man." The hypocritical Republicans "use the language of patriotism and of love for the Union.whilst their votes their acts and their organization lead only to a dissolution and all the evils that must follow." The Know-Nothings are just as bad: they "have waged a cruel and relentless war upon foreigners and members of the Roman Catholic church. These classes have been proscribed."

As this pamphlet says "Sudden changes of opinion always excite distrust unless they are accompanied by causes so adequate and apparent that the metamorphosis is at once explained." This item shows that Greeley's shifts flunk the test. Not in Sabin Miles Eberstadt Decker. Not uncommon in institutional holdings according to OCLC. unknown
