1864Best.-Nr. 3721N.p. but most likely Newark N.J. 1864. Good plus. Letterpress broadside printed in two columns 16.5 x 10 inches. Old folds small chip to top outer margin two tiny holes affecting just a few letters. A very rare Unionist broadside supporting the re-election of Abraham Lincoln in the critical presidential contest of 1864. The present broadside was authored in early June 1864 by New Jersey Republican Party stalwart Horace N. Congar an editor diplomat and politician who was at that time serving as U.S. consul to Hong Kong. In this rather stirring broadside which Congar writes from his position in Hong Kong he lauds "the thousands of earnest faithful men who are giving freely of their blood and treasure to the suppression of this infamous rebellion" and "the noble daring the undaunted courage and the determined valour of our brave soldiers of Freedom" and urges that "in November New Jersey will stand in the unbroken rank of States giving their verdict for the Party of Union." He also spends considerable space discussing the clear role of "the social moral and political evil" of slavery as the precipitating event of the Civil War. Congar writes that "the evil it has wrought was as natural as the poisoned breath of the Upas tree." Stated clearly Congar writes "I heartily rejoice at the destruction of slavery" and looks forward to the time when "I shall tread my native land with a newer life if within its boundless domain there shall not be heard the clanking chain or the cry of the suffering and the oppressed." "Horace Newton Congar 1817-1893 was a radical republican politician during the midnineteenth century and served on both the state and national levels. Mr. Congar had a great love for his party and hope for its success which is reflected in his writing . Horace Newton Congar was born in Newark on July 31 1817. He married Isabell Reeves and had two children; a daughter Ella and a son Horace Junior. Horace Congar taught school for a while and he studied law in his leisure time. He was admitted to the New Jersey State Bar in 1847 and later Cornelius Boice of Plainfield and Lewis Grove of Newark were his law partners. Congar was a friend of the abolitionist cause and he was one of the founders of the antislavery Free Soil Party in New Jersey. The party slogan 'Free Soil Free Speech Free Labor and Free Men' basically described the party platform. Congar later became a delegate from New Jersey to the Republican National Convention in 1848 which was held in Buffalo. He supported the nomination of Van Buren for president and Adams for vice-president" - New Jersey Historical Society. A rare and unusual Lincoln campaign broadside with just two physical copies in OCLC at AAS and Middlebury College. unknown

1833Best.-Nr. AQ25008Birmingham: Printed by William Wood 1833. Seven trimmed woodcut engravings printed on pink paper with a further trimmed title and imprint panel on white paper. Browned and marked. An apparently unknown example of pictorial electoral satire removed from an album by a previous owner where the items were by repute grouped together with the title and imprint panel albeit printed on different paper - suggesting that these perhaps issued in book form but have since sunk without trace. The seven captioned images are: 'Reading the Riot Act' 'A Crane two Walkers and a Barker or the Political Dis-Union' 'A Fry-er setting a trap for the Consumers of Corn and longing for a Broil' 'A Maiden Speech or an Orator and his note book' 'A windfall to the Friars assistant in the shape of a Stoner' 'Cock Robin and Cock Robin's son' 'Negro head short cut pigtail and York returns or a boat about until the ferry no glee' The issues raised including radicalism the corn laws and the riot act all and the reference to a 'new year' election all suggest that these were issued around the time of the 1832/3 General Election; the first conduced after the introduction of the Reform Act which expanded the electorate especially in cities like Birmingham where in this election two radicals were elected unopposed. Entirely unrecorded in OCLC; neither the title nor the captions of any of the seven images elicits any locations in institutional collections. . Dimensions at maximum 100 x 110 mm.
