A brief report for the Illinois Legislature on those seeking expenses due to the 'Hancock difficulties' of 1846.

1932réf. 205181932. African American Religion Silver gelatin photograph of twenty-two African American congregates at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. 1932. Approx. 4.5" x 6.5". Photograph shows twenty-two congregates of varying ages twenty-one adults and one child dressed in "Sunday best" sitting and standing in two rows in front of a church sanctuary. Caption written on photograph reads "Ward #1 Mt. Zion Baptist Church 1932". Baptist Protestantism has been the predominant religion among African Americans from the Civil War until today however the Great Depression marked a particularly difficult time period for Baptist churches across the United States. In 1932 Protestant church attendance was at an all time low in part due to the church's inability to dispense charity to the needy and due to a general loss of faith in the face of financial hardship. African American Baptist Mt. Zion congregations are also known for their roles in the Civil Rights Movement. The churchgoers pictured were among a select few who remained steadfast practitioners of Baptist Protestantism during a difficult time in U.S. history. Very good condition. unknown books
réf. 31012folio 3 pages plus stampless address leaf some weakness at folds and hole from seal opening with loss of a few words of text. 1828 Ohio Jacksonian Democratic Legislators fear "conspiracies and plots" by "Blue Light" ex-Federalist supporters of "King John the Second" John Quincy Adams. An important Ohio political letter from the tumultuous months before the presidential election when a new Democratic Party was still forming around the candidacy of Andrew Jackson and supporters of his opponent John Quincy Adams mostly remnants of the defunct Federalist Party simply called themselves "Anti-Jacksonians". The party lines were still so blurred that as this letter from two Jacksonian state legislators makes clear there was a great deal of mutual suspicion approaching paranoia about conspiracies and plots that grew out of confused loyalties. The text is particularly interesting because of the writers' use of two forgotten political slurs – "Blue Lights" referred to former Anglophile Federalists who had been accused for over a decade since the War of 1812 which they had adamantly opposed of having made friendly signals to British ships in order to warn the enemy of American blockade runners putting to sea from Connecticut. The other innuendo as the reference to John Quincy Adams as "King John the Second" reflecting the Jacksonian claim that he and his "Blue Light Federalists" sought to reunite America with England the new nation's former colonial master. Both Hamm the co-author and Cox the recipient were notable Jacksonians. Hamm was a doctor who had served as a Surgeon in the War of 1812 before being elected to the legislature; he became so powerful in the politics of his county as to win a diplomatic appointment through political patronage. After Jackson's election Hamm was appointed the third American envoy to Chile after its independence from Spain. Cox also an uncompromising Jacksonian Democrat was the son of a Revolutionary War General and pioneer publisher of the first newspaper in eastern Ohio which became the most influential Jacksonian paper in the state. His better-known son Samuel "Sunshine" Cox was a US Congressman during the Civil War and was later appointed US Ambassador to Ottoman Turkey by Democratic Grover Cleveland. The text: "Among many of our very best friends among whom we always class you we have neglected to write to you supposing that you would in the common course receive everything going on here worth knowing. You are aware of our great difficulties of getting along here among a pack of as thorough going and rude trained blue-lights as ever were permitted to run at large! However so it is we are yet alive and as much in the bargain! We had expected that among our friends who came on here that you would have been among the number. To those who came here they proved a great consolation; for believe us that you can form and we can describe no conceptions of the conspiracies and plots which are hourly carried on here to put down every body who will not sing hosannas to King John the 2d. As you know we have endeavoured with all our might to pursue a neutral attitude amidst these conflicting elements. How far we have succeeded time must tell. There are very many trials with which we are beset which it is impossible now to give you any thing like a correct understanding. We have written to but very few of our friends. This is no place for pleasure or amusement to representatives who are disposed to do their duty to those who sent them here. Among our difficulties you will know that we have with us one person that there is no harm in keeping a watchful eye over. A word is enough – but how it will yet end is very uncertain. We have made and are daily making sacrifices on your account and that of all our friends. Nothing that human impunity or industry can effect will be withheld on our part until the close but we are not at liberty to promise much on that particular subject for this and the reasons heretofore advanced. For while we keep a sharp look out we in our turns are well watched and perhaps more constantly watched than any two members in both branches of the General Assembly. The friends of John 2 are a majority in both branches and they exercise this authority in accordance with the mandates of Grimble King and Company. As to our local interests – school Lands – Sale of Section 16 – Taylors dam etc. I hope will prove somewhat satisfactory to the public. Write to Mr. J.C.Stockton Representative but not on the subject because he will tell. But write to him that the Blue Lights in Zanesville are boasting that they have got him – and any thing else which you may think will flatter him. We also think that a number of you had better write to him soon and continue it until the very close of the session! You know what we wish it done for and you must not neglect it. Your brother Saml. J. Cox also ought to write to him. Our success here upon that one point greatly depends on what we advise. Pay the postage on all your letters to here!!! Tell your brother Saml. To write immediately also to Mr.Stilwell on the same subject – by this means we may possiblymake such arrangements to insure success. In other words unless something is done this creature will come out for ________ By our division we shall be defeated. You have no idea of the duplicity of this man! Our enemies at home are writing to him and inflaming him against us and all our friends at home. We know that Mr. Stilwell can with what is necessary here – that is to unite with us in words missing.a candidate whom we many rely upon when words missing The mischief he does is through the Blue Lights; and at the same time by palming himself upon the credulous of our side. All we want is union among the Muskingum delegation here and then we may stand a better chance of success in the election of an Associate Judge…" books
