1804Best.-Nr. 030071New York City NY 1804. Signed by the inspectors John Townsend Samuel Stillwell and Robert McDermut in the Gubernatorial & Senate elections and providing the vote count for these offices. For Governor Morgan Lewis ran against Aaron Burr 1756 - 1836 revolutionary soldier U.S. senator and vice president of the United States. ".In 1804 the Republican leaders replaced Burr as the party's vice presidential candidate. That same year he ran for governor of New York against Morgan Lewis the regular Jeffersonian candidate. During the campaign Burr refused to accept assistance from New England Federalists in exchange for a promise to combine New York with New England in a secessionist scheme. In addition Hamilton continued his opposition to the vice president by circulating letters that contained disparaging remarks about Burr. Although most Federalists voted for the vice president despite Hamilton's remarks and Burr's opposition to disunion plans Lewis easily won the election with help from the Clinton and Livingston factions. Following the election Burr became increasingly angry at those he held responsible for his political downfall…Burr felt that the most effective response would be through the code duello. In June the vice president issued a challenge to Hamilton after Hamilton refused to make a comprehensive disclaimer of his derogatory comments of Burr uttered during the gubernatorial campaign. Hamilton accepted Burr's challenge and the two men met in Weehawken New Jersey on 11 July 1804. As a result Hamilton suffered a fatal wound as a ball lodged in his spine…Hamilton died the next day."

1844Best.-Nr. List3860N.p. 1844. Folded letter on Henry Clay campaign lettersheet with portrait of Clay and printed caption: "And Frelinghuysen." Addressed to Mr. Joseph Griswold Benson Rutland County Vermont. Blue circular postmark and manuscript postage. Milgram No. HC-2 with listing example illustrated in James W.

Goodrich to Joseph Griswold written on a Henry Clay campaign lettersheet during the presidential contest between Clay and James K. Polk. The printed lettersheet shows Clay's portrait with the caption "And Frelinghuysen" referring to Theodore Frelinghuysen Clay's Whig running mate. The letter opens with direct campaign content identifying the writer as a supporter of "the Harry of the West and his companion F-": "You see what a true Son of the Green Mountains sails under none other than the Harry of the West and his companion F-. Altho we accomplish nothing in this State we value our principals as much as any other set of men. Politics are raging high in these parts. Bets of good round sums are being made constantly. There is great exertions being made on both sides." Goodrich then gives the letter its strongest political passage complaining that abolitionists were gaining strength and drawing support away from the Whig ticket: "Our abolition friends are getting very strong in this State. They think in some counties they have made great gains from one election to another and hang them they are all from the Whig ranks or mostly so. If we had them with us we should carry the State. Then there would be one more bright star in the twenty six." The remainder of the letter turns to family visits courtship gossip local marriages schoolteaching music lessons and delays in correspondence. Goodrich teases Griswold about his interest in "Say" or Sarah closing with the advice to "not sigh oftener for her than she does for you. Sigh not but act." A good 1844 campaign lettersheet combining a printed Clay-Frelinghuysen design with manuscript political content on the Whigs abolitionist defections and the electoral consequences of antislavery politics. . unknown
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

Original orange printed paper wrappers 8vo 10 pages. Primarily in Hungarian with 2-page statement & closing speech also in Yiddish. WITH LAID IN: Two aliyah to the Torah Ark pledge cards one for Ephraim Lavii and one for Levende Pinty Title translates roughly as “The Saar Hatora Ashkenazi Society Financial Statement and Closing Speech. For The Period From January 1 1927 To December 31 1927.” From the strife-ridden year of 1928 in Satu Mare see below a budget report including tables and lists for the Chevra Sa’ar HaTorah Ashkenazi with heartfelt call to action by the President Yosef Chaim Mayer asking the community to support its efforts to raise funds to build a new Beit HaMidrash. The plea is also undersigned by Eli Mandelbaum and by the two gabbais David Spiegel and Yona Weiss. A total of 11 names of leaders of the society are named. Society members are asked for their support in the upcoming election; presumably this is the controversial election of a new chief rabbi which famously split the community and resulted in the appointment of Hasidic Joel Teitelbaum and the creation of the Satmar Dynasty under him. In 1715 when Sathmar became a royal town the Jews were expelled but they began to resettle in the 1820s."In 1841 several Jews obtained the permission to settle permanently in Sathmar; the first Jewish community was formally established in 1849 and in 1857 a synagogue was built. After a great number of traditional Ashkenazic Jews had settled in the town the Jewish community split in 1898 when a supporter of the Hasidic movement was elected chief rabbi into an Orthodox and a Status Quo community led by a Zionist rabbi which erected a synagogue in 1904. In the 1920s there were several Zionist organizations in Satu Mare and the yeshiva one of the largest in the region was attended by 400 students. In 1930 the city had five large synagogues and about 20 shtiebels. In 1928 a conflict within the Orthodox community broke out over the election of a new chief rabbi lasting six years and ending in 1934 with the appointment of the Hasidic rabbi Joel Teitelbaum a traditionalist and anti-Zionist who later re-founded the Satmar Hasidic dynasty in Williamsburg New York. Another Hasidic rabbi Aharon Roth the founder of the Shomrei Emunim and Toldot Aharon communities in Jerusalem was also active in Satu Mare” Wikipedia.

1848Best.-Nr. 34739Newport 1848. 24pp. Disbound printed in two columns per page. Light wear faint blindstamp on final leaf. Good On "the wisdom and good policy" of the Whigs' 1848 nomination of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore for the presidency. The pamphlet soothes the wounds of the failed candidates and their supporters: Winfield Scott the "noble old chief who had just carried the eagles of our Republic in triumph over the mountains of Mexico;" Henry Clay "the gallant chivalrous and accomplished statesman of the West;" Webster "the strong towering giant defender of the constitution of the North." "Circumstances demanded the nomination of another patriotic whig as the standard bearer of our party." Taylor is a man of "TRUTH JUSTICE INTEGRITY FIDELITY and a NOBLE GENEROSITY." In this complicated election the Whigs had to contend not only with the Democrats and their nominee Lewis Cass but also with former President Martin Van Buren and his Free Soil Party. Seeking to hold the votes of anti-slavery Whigs this pamphlet derides Van Buren's last-minute conversion: his record shows a complete subservience to the Slave Power. Sabin 70526.
